Okay, sorry, there are two links, I failed to mention that, my bad. The one that's inside the iframe area is this:

<iframe id = "SpinRants" src ="http://spinrants.spinland.biz" width="930" height="650" align="middle" frameborder="0" marginwidth="0" >
<p>
Your browser does not support iframes. Please click <a href="http://spinrants.spinland.biz">here</a>.
</p>
</iframe>


But if you look a few lines above that, there's another link that always gets displayed that's outside the iframe:

<div style="left: 28px; width: 919px; position: absolute; font-size: 16pt; font-family: Arial; text-align: center; color: #BE6200; top: 798px;">
<div style="">
<div class="xr_tl" style="left: 9px; top: -20px; width: 853px;">If your browser has trouble displaying the blog above you can access it directly by clicking <span style=""><a onmousemove="xr_mo(this,0)" onclick="return(xr_nn());" href="http://spinrants.spinland.biz" >here</a></span >.</div>

</div>
</div>
<div class="xr_ap" style="left: 22px; top: 115px; width: 931px; height: 650px;">


That's the one I was hoping Site Mapper would glom onto.

I think I figured it out. Our software seems to make the assumption that if there is a http://accessoriesoftheworld.com/blog/t … ers/page/2 that there must be a http://accessoriesoftheworld.com/blog/t … tters/page because it is a sub-folder of that. We can't remove that from the sitemap because the folder 2 is a child of /page

Make sense?

Unfortunately our software can't pickup those links either. I will check with our programmers to see if there is anything we can tweak.

Makes perfect sense, but... will that not cause problems or will that just be something ignored for the most part? I just don't want these blank nothing pages that end up in 404 listings to show up in Google somewhere. If it doesn't cause any problems, then I guess it don't matter.

It shouldn't cause any problems at all.

Something I didn't even see last night is this. Your website here is at http://www.spinland.biz/blog.html but in the iframe and link you point to another domain, http://spinrants.spinland.biz Even though it is the same domain, it has a different host name. The software will only spider links on the same host name/domain name.

Keeping track of a Website hierarchy on another host name would be difficult at best.

Ah, that makes sense. So it won't spider links that are fully-referenced, like "http://somewhere.else.org."

The good news is the "external address" is really hosted on the same server and in the main directory tree. I just changed the link to use a local reference and SM grabbed it right up.
