I have the following problem. My sitemap's content is shown in GOOGLE search results. There is a link to the sitemap on the main page. That can cause it. I have added this URL to GOOGLE as sitemap and I would like it to be treated as sitemap only, not as sitemap and webpage. How do I tell GOOGLE not to index it as webpage? Using robots.txt?
Thank you
The problem is that google is indexing everything where they find links to. You can prevent them with robots.txt as you stated.
Personally I have nerver seen something like that... If you link to your website somewhere and tell us which URL you added to GOOGLE as sitemap I could take a look at it and see if it has something to do withthe way your site is built.
Hope this helps :-) tell me if you need any more info
