OK the prereq:

Vista
Licensed version of Sitemapper

Apart from completely ignoring my 'ignored folders list' I've now found that the Sitemapper tool is also generating supposed links to folders with no content.

For example I have a slideshow at :

http://www.shootinghip.com/wedding/phot … oz-joe.asp

In my site map I get:

http://www.shootinghip.com/wedding/
http://www.shootinghip.com/wedding/photographer
http://www.shootinghip.com/wedding/phot … /hampshire
http://www.shootinghip.com/wedding/phot … tithe-barn
http://www.shootinghip.com/wedding/phot … arn/thomas

None of these directories have any content OR any files AND more importantly, no links to these folders in my site.

Of course now my Google Webmaster tools is tossing errors all over the place which isn't exactly helping my google ranking.

Any thoughts? At the moment I can't see this as being a very sound investment. I've actually taken steps backward in sitemapping.

Thanks in advance

Hey Team,

I have had this same problem from day one. Below is my Google Webmaster tool having issue with blank listing without .html or .php and the end of the listing. Please help - Google search is not working well with this sitemapper tool.

This 403 Error list is up to 45 - every time we add a new page we get another 403 page error - again, please advise.... now!
