I get entries like\r\n\r\n    daily \t\r\n    https \t\r\n    09t23 \t\r\n    26t06 \t\r\n    26t10 \t\r\n\r\nin google's keywords list. Note that google does not extract dates here. Also note that the entry \"daily\" clearly indicates that it comes from the sitemap.\r\n\r\nI suggest to exclude the sitemaps from indexing by using an additional http header:\r\n\r\n    X-Robots-Tag: noindex\r\n\r\nCurrently, I'm testing a corresponding patch to see if google's keyword list changes.\r\n\r\nI think this can be classified as a bug because provocing unwanted but high-ranked keywords is pretty much what SEO is _not_ about.\r\n\r\nKeep in mind that #67 is about the date in search results which is another issue. Anyways, it seems to be possible that #67 might not be about date formatting. "}}
