1) http://www.ashbrook-photography.com/sitemap-base.xml
This file is waaay out of date. Galleries that have net existed for week- no surprise, these are the links that are showing up in google searches. Question - when will this be updated to my current site structure so that google can crawl it and start indexing my site correctly?
2) http://www.ashbrook-photography.com/sitemap-index.xml
In google webmaster tools I have a big red X under status for this file. I've tried to resubmit several times, same thing.
3) Robots.txt. - I (after several days) continue to see a 503 service unavailable error. Yes, I can click on http://www.ashbrook-photography.com/robots.txt and see the contents, but the fact is that google claims it cant reach it. Even when I use the 'fetch as googlebot' - I get "missing robots.txt"
I'd really like some advice on #1. Then #2 and #3.
Can someone shed some light? Even if my sitemaps were to start working, - the sitemap-base.xml is all wrong in terms of content.
Thanks all in advance. ;-)
EDIT: smugmug support has told me twice not to worry about it with the robots errors, but for a week?
