askewz Posted October 23, 2007 Share Posted October 23, 2007 Hi All, Ok I have gone through the many posts on this forum and none seem to be solving my problem. The problem is I ran a sitemap generator on my site and it kept creating session id's when it crawls it how do i stop these session id's from appearing? Because surly that wouldn't be good to submit to google and others. seeing as when it crawls it creating session id's i am sure that search engines would be doing the same. Any help will be very much appreciated its starting to stress me out trying to solve it :( Thank you, Antony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

askewz Posted October 23, 2007 Author Share Posted October 23, 2007 1. in your web shop admin: Set Prevent Spider Sessions to "true" 2. add the identifier string for the bot/spider from your sitemap generator in this file in your shop: includes/spiders.txt Hi, Thank you for the fast reply! Yes the "Set Prevent Spider Sessions" have always been set to "true" i didn't think they was working as when i use the sitemap generater it shown the sessions in the urls it generated. this is the sitemap generator i'm using: http://www.auditmypc.com/xml-sitemap.asp what would be the string to add in spiders.txt for that?

askewz Posted October 25, 2007 Author Share Posted October 25, 2007 i have done all the above but still it is showing the sessions :( do you think to best way to do it would be to upload my entire site into all on big file on my computer then making the site map offline then upload that site map to the site? what sitemap programs do you use? ( that goes to everyone ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

( that goes to everyone ) I think you would be very well equipped using the EXCELLENT automatic site map generator by CHEMO. http://addons.oscommerce.com/info/3233 This does the work for you. Only tell google the location of the sitemap generator on your site and thats it. Good luck /Marcus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
