Added the sitemap through google webmaster central several times now but always get the error/warning message after a few days.

URLs not followed
When we tested a sample of the URLs from your Sitemap, we found that some URLs were not accessible to Googlebot because they contained too many redirects. Please change the URLs in your Sitemap that redirect and replace them with the destination URL (the redirect target). All valid URLs will still be submitted

Any advice ? Thxs!

Hi Dave,

SearchFit redirects could be active if web pages names have been changed, but site map not regenerated or republished. This way we ensure that the path to the right page is not lost and visitors are still able to see what they are looking for.

Do you have an idea of some URL they are complaining about? Are you sure you have republished the latest sitemap to google?
