URL forwarding

[whiteplainshistory]

Our domain is [external links are visible to admins only].  We purchased it from GoDaddy and are using their domain forwarding feature to forward to [external links are visible to admins only].

This seems to present problems to Google and Sitemaps.com.

With respect to Google, an ordinary sitemap.txt file was created [external links are visible to admins only] but Google complains that the file is an unsupported format.

With repsect to Sitemaps.com, specifying [external links are visible to admins only] gives only one link, the home page itself, while specifying [external links are visible to admins only] results in "An error occurred".

The bottom line is that we'd like Google to recogniize our site [external links are visible to admins only].   Suggestions welcomed.

I am not sure how helpful you may think this sounds but my advice to you would be to do away with domain forwarding.
