Subject: What Data Should I Keep
I have for you a few REAL NEW-BEE questions.

My site gspirit.com consist of 316 products and 50 Categories/Sub
Categories.
I did a GSiteCrawl and came up with 4027 URLS, 4026 to be included,
3337 to be crawled, and 65 aborted.

Now this seems a little extreme because if I do the math, 316 products
+ 50 categories + 316 img files = 682 links.

So, My Question Is.....
What data do I really want to keep in my site map?  i.e. (I've noticed
the following)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------
1.) The follow 3 links all go to the same page...

a) http://www.gspirit.com/Merchant5/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Store_Code=...

b) http://www.gspirit.com/Merchant5/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Store_Code=...

c) http://www.gspirit.com/Merchant5/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Store_Code=...

One of them is a "direct link", another was created by my "footstep
links" and the other appears to be created by the "attribute link".
Should I remove links "b & c" and simple keep link "a", the direct
link? ?????
--------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------

2.) In another example I have one category "Christian T Shirts" that
has 70 products, which are setup to display "10 products" per page or
"view all".  When crawled I end up with 8 links.  Would it be best
from an SEO perspective to eliminate all but the "view all" link or
should I keep all 8 since they do "Theoretically" point to different
pages?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------- -----------------------

3.) Should I remove all of the references to image files in the site
map, i.e. gif, jpg, etc.?
Do they offer any value?

--------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------
4.) Also, would it be best to remove all references to pages like
"basket", "search", affiliate links, "account"?

--------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------

5.) And what would you recommend for links such as "contact us",
"customer service", "about us", and "FAQ's"?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------

I am guessing that when it is all said and done, that I should end up
with (per my example above) around 682 links?

Thank you very much for the support, believe me, it is much
appreciated.
