: Why would URLs submitted in Google Webmaster Tools drop to 0? Why would URLs submitted in Google Webmaster Tools drop to 0? It's a small site, only like 20 pages, I submitted the XML sitemap
Why would URLs submitted in Google Webmaster Tools drop to 0? It's a small site, only like 20 pages, I submitted the XML sitemap and for about a week it said 20 URLs submitted. A day or so ago it indexed about 17 of the pages, but today when looking it not only says that 0 are indexed but also 0 have been submitted.
I did a site search on Google and found clearly that pages are indexed, is this just an error on Google Webmaster Tools?

If the pages can be found in the index, it sounds like the Sitemap itself might be the problem. Some troubleshooting ideas:
Is GWT reporting a Sitemap error (see Issues column)?
Does the Sitemap pass if you use the Test Sitemap function?
Does the Sitemap itself load in a browser?
Do the URLs in the Sitemap correspond exactly with what's actually on the site (and what's indexed)?
Is there anything alarming under Health > Index Status?
If those don't reveal any problems, it may just be a blip in GWT. I've known such things happen and right themselves within 24 hours.
