Changing What Google is Indexing

Okay, so let's return back to All-In-One (AIO) SEO plug-in Settings....

Refresher on how to get there:

But, this time, don't click the view your sitemap link.

Just scroll down a wee bit.

You'll see this area here:

Note that you can include different "Post Types" - The selections are ALL Post Types (Everything) or Posts only or Pages only or a combination. You'll also see an extra box in mine that you likely won't see in yours CM Tooltip Glossary. Because I have an extra plugin for a cool little Glossary of terms.

Additionally, you'll see that Taxonomies area. I have all those turned on. As you can see, URLs can be loaded for Categories, Tags and Formats.

IF you uncheck items, less will be included within your sitemap.

Then, down at the bottom, you can click the Update Sitemap button as shown below:

Conversely, if you feel you messed anything up, you can Reset everything back to default with the other button above.

Pj,
If it wouldn't be for google+ I would not rank on the 1st page 7th and 8th down the list!
So what does that mean?

When you're logged into Google, you'll see things a bit differently. Because Google is using that to show you your stuff. It means it is linked, BUT it's not giving you a true estimate of how your pages rank within normal search results for the normal web visitor. You can use a free rank checker such as:

This will give you an idea of where your website or a specific page ranks within the search results for specific keywords. Now, your page or site may be way down the list, but as time goes on and depending on backlinks, it will get closer and closer to page 1.

What makes such a big difference on page 4, between submitted and indexed?

Ah, I believe it tracks submissions in total. The most links I have had at any one time.

Does this mean you have removed so many?

I missed to say, good and very useful training.
