My problem is I’m getting five the 600 visitors a day and Google webmaster tools recognizes on a good day about 90.
Depending on the other tools you’re using to cross-check hits, the rest of those visits could just be bots. google doesn’t count those.
Otherwise, you are getting indexed by google. Legitimate traffic takes time to build.
I though of the when the site first went live. I use awstats and it separates out the bods and admin logins etc. It all so gives you info on first time and returning visitors etc.
There was nothing I could do to create a xml-site map in WordPress. Yoast program works fine on a single site, and maybe on a sub-domain but I could not get ti to work on my sub-directory site.
Thanks

You can give google webmaster your rss feed for each sub site as a sitemap.
http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/google-xml-sitemaps-with-multisite-support/ works too.
If they’re subfolders, you should be able to activate Yoast’s per-site and then add ’em all to a robots.txt file in the main folder.

Thats the way I started no lock at all with that. It created them all but they could not be found in webmaster tools. I post several time in his forum with no response. I use his plugin on several single sites with no problems
Good suggestion thought.
Thanks
Ron
I’m using http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/xml-sitemap-feed/ on a subfolder site, with a manual robots.txt file.
I did not know about that plug in or it did not work a the time I tested it. Everything just stopped at the main domain? I tried a lot of them.
I’m also have to use a manual robots.txt file.
I think the problem with Yoast plug-in was the common directory that he stored on the site maps in.
Is everything displaying properly in webmaster tools.

Everything just stopped at the main domain?
I don’t know what you mean here.
I do know that I use that plugin, and it works for domain.com/sitemap.xml and domain.com/subfolder/sitemap.xml and subdomain.domain.com/sitemap.xml which is as it should be.
None of the pages are listed or counted past the main section. if you do a site:inmrc.com it shows around 900 pages indexed. Awstats shows 600 to 800 page views per day.
Google list 90 on a good day both in webmaster tool & Analytics
a Google search on inmrc.com lists around 30,000
Other wise it’s all screwed up
That why I asked you if site was tracking in WMtools?
I am open for any sugestion
Thanks
Ron
Bear in mind that the site map is just for pages that google can’t find to crawl, really.
WM Tools doesn’t do site tracking per say, but it does tell you where there may be errors in your site.
WM tools has been updated and included a page similar to analytics that shows traffic. list pages with number of views. etc
Huh. I just use Analytics for that. Nice to see they’re branching … inwards? Anyway, that’s a question for Google. If it’s not seeing your site, but everything else is, it’s them.
Are you using the same theme on all of the sites? Have you made sure that the necessary tracking/verification code is used in all of the themes?
if you do a site:inmrc.com it shows around 900 pages indexed.
a Google search on inmrc.com lists around 30,000
the plain google search counts other sites that have linked to yours. you’d expect this number to be higher.
I got over 1,000 when I looked specifically for your domain.

Awstats shows 600 to 800 page views per day.
Awstats counts bot hits, that accounts for the difference.
While the plugin mentioned above support multisite, they do not do what you think they do. None of them will make you one sitemap indexing the whole network. Your page rank is 0, you have hundreds of links within the sites themselves, and hardly any from any other domain.
You need to have actual real people visiting your site and linking to it.
Go look at site:http://inmrc.com/wordpress/ – I get 72 results in Google. Are there 72 posts on that site or more?
And how are you adding the google analytics code? I looked in the /wordpress/ site and all I found was “UA-22283848-1” printed to the page and in the source. None of the GA javascript was there. this is most definitely incorrect.
Is it possible to have Google analytics on a “WordPress multisite configuration” using sub-directories?
I confess that after hundreds of hours of trying I had started to believe it was impossible. I want to express my sincere thanks, to all the members of the WordPress forum that offered their help and support. With a very special thanks to the talented and knowledgeable Andrea_r
I am happy to report that as of last night approximately 10 PM the beast has been conquered. See my detailed case study at http://inmrc.com/wordpress/configure-wordpress-multisites-directories/
