You might also create a brand-new sitemap.xml file, and submit that to the search engines. And, there are external programs that will look for 'missing links'. I use one called Xenu, which is free...there are others. A 'find-the-missing-links' program could help you clean up the site. (And marking an answer as 'correct' helps others with similar problems, as well as providing encouragement to those that answer questions.) | |
