Google Sitemaps Excluded URL patterns - Help Please!
Hey all,
Quick question.
I'm trying to get my sitemaps compiled via Google's (new) tool, and there's an issue I'm running into with a few of my maps.
A very small number of my link paths in certain sitemaps have a * character in them, which results in an error status when I submit these maps to Google.
There's a place where I can enter excluded URL patterns, and I'd like to exclude any links that have a * inside them.
As it turns out, * also happens to signify "all" when it comes to this. How do I do this so that it's only excluding the character, and not all links within my webroot directory, as it would now if I just did /*
I'm stuck here - any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
