Google is rejecting my sitemap - any idea why?
«
on:
September 29, 2007, 04:49:55 AM »
Hello, I have a simple 9-page web site. I submitted a sitemap to Google and I received an error message that it was in an Unsupported file format. Strangely enough I copied and pasted their example into a file in Notepad++, changed the URLs to my website and saved it. And I must have done something wrong (!).
In any case, could anyone point out what I did wrong? Here it is :
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
< urlset xmlns="
http://www.sitemaps.org/schemas/sitemap/0.9
">

Haven't you downloaded one from this site?
What's the filename for your sitemap?

Hello,
instead of copy'n'pasting URLs, you should create sitemap using
online sitemap generator
, then save it to your computed and upload to your site.
