Thread: Sitemap that will go through to Google Webmaster Tools

Hi, I have been trying to submit a sitemap of my site to Google Webmaster Tools, and each time I seem to get an error of, "Unsupported Format," The first sitemap I submitted, I re-published the sitemap in BlueVoda, in text form, and I recieved an error,"Unsupported Format". The second one I submitted was:

sitemap.xml
XML 1.0 do<
?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<urlset xmlns="http://www.sitemaps.org/schemas/sitemap/0.9" >
http://www.pammy53.com/index.html
http://www.pammy53.com/details.html
http://www.pammy53.com/contact me.html
http://www.pammy53.com/about me.html

Can someone please tell me what is wrong with this sitemap? Also, can someone tell me the correct format that Google Webmasters Tools will except without getting any errors back? I have looked at the information on their website on how to creat a sitemap, and I really thought that this would have gone through. Also, I would appreciate it if someone would e-mail me, an example copy of the sitemap format, that will go through. I really appreciate the help here.

The sitemap above is for your human visitors

the bluevoda sitemap is for the search engines

I have had an email from a company telling me my website doesn't have a google site map and offered to do one for me for $300.

I don't know what a Google site map is - can I do one myself - is there a tutorial or something for this? Or is there someone at Vodahost who could do one for me at a better price?

You can create one for $00,000,000,000 yourself.......lol

Just use the Bluevoda sitemap generator.

That will be $1 please...............lol

I'll do one for you for $299 !!!!! But as David says.... You can create your own for NOTHING!!! and it's EASY!

Hi David Thanks for that.

I don't use Blue Voda, only ever used Soholaunch, can I do it in that or do I need to use BlueVoda.

David, I just haven't had a chance to respond back, I wanted to thank you for your help on my previous post, Sitemap, that will go through to Google Webmasters Tool. I did get the BlueVoda sitemap to go through, however, I still seem to get errors from my sitemap, and everytime, it is something new, like now they are telling my that I have invalid URL's for my mail links on my contact me page, however, whenever I touch the link, it takes me to my Windows Mail, so that someone can e-mail me. Can you tell me what is happening here? Hate to have to bother you again, but I would appreciate your help, again.
