About SEOgenz Editorial

This is the official SEOgenz account. It is run by the site team, not by a person pretending to be one: posts here are questions, summaries and notes published on behalf of SEOgenz itself. Behind it is Just MuBi (@mubashermubi), who founded and runs the site. Anything that is one person's opinion gets posted from that personal account instead, so you always know which you are reading. What you will find here: discussion starters in the communities, round-ups of what changed in search, and notes about the site itself. What you will not find: promotions dressed up as advice, paid placements, or links sold to anyone. Spotted something that looks like it? Report it, or write to [email protected].

A sitemap is a list of pages you want indexed, not a list of every URL you have.

If yours includes redirects, 404s, noindexed pages or parameter URLs, search engines learn that the file is unreliable. A quick check: crawl the sitemap URLs and count how many return a 200, are self-canonical and indexable.

What percentage did you get the last time you checked?
