Hi,

Could anyone explain me about SEO?

In Google search my website finally have sitelinks. However with some errors.
There are subcategory of category displayed like sitelink which was deleted 2 months ago. Why? How can this be fixed?
There is also displayed a product in sitelink. Shouldn't it be only categories?
Some strange product which I never had: ../component/hikashop/date-dress How to avoid this?
I have created sitemap and uploaded it 3 weeks ago...
I have exluded all folders in public_html with robot.txt file but still sometimes can find links to old categories/products which were deleted long time ago. Or virtuemart links to products...( I never had virtuemart installed, I only have some folders due template...)
Is there a way to remove all old urls automatically?

Many thanks

Hi,

Google should remove automatically old URLS. But you can also ask it to delete the ones you don't want manually:
www.google.com/webmasters/tools/removals

Also, the issue might be that you have configured the parameter "canonical URL" of your products/categories with old URLs and didn't update them when you changed your website. So you can check that option of the products for which you have SEF issues and potentially remove the link in there if any.
