    Has anyone had problems with Google Sitemaps?

    I have noticed a significant downturn on some of my search traffic on one of my
    sites - ( Gotokeywest.com) and just checked the Sitemaps area of my Google account -
    they have 63 of my URLs as unreachable - and I seem to have totally dropped off the
    map on all of my previously highly ranking search terms since ( even the items they
    are showing as high ranking - when I click on the term in the interface - I am nowhere to be
    found in the ensuing results)

    Should I delete my sitemap and re-submit? Anyone have this happen?

    The sitemap is automatically regenerated with every new post or page. is it accurate for your site?

    Denis -

    I believe so - yes. I just recently verified and submitted through the Google
    webmaster admin - prior to that I had just been posting without really worrying
    about sitemap.

    I deleted the site map from within my Google account - as - after posting here - I
    did a quick search online - and there are *many* comments on different forums (digital point, et al - of
    people who have suffered the exact same fate - after submitting sitemap to google -
    which seems counter-intuitive, but - no question - for whatever reason, has hurt my
    traffic on previously high ranking keyword phrases.

    I understand Google's ranking algorithm is increasingly taking a trust index into account, which makes the traffic come and go as sites that link to yours get reassigned a new trust ranking. I've a relative who is running a couple of AdSense sites, and he sees some of his sites' traffic plunge for no appearant reason every now and then. I'm guessing it's the same issue on your site.
