I am not able to submit my sitemap

[lohia anirudh]

I have been trying to submit my sitemap for last 2 days, but every time I submit it shows an error. I have checked the file repeatedly but could not find any error. I also think that I have fulfilled all the requirements. Format of the file is .xml.gz

What could be the possible reason?

Regards,

I never tried to submit a .xml.gz, maybe just try an .xml file thats what I do

http://www.example.com/sitemap.xml

Always works.

Do it in this format, save it as xml file and then submit the link to google under site map ---> general web sitemap.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<urlset xmlns="http://www.sitemaps.org/schemas/sitemap/0.9">
<url>
<loc>your page 1 URL</loc>
<changefreq>weekly</changefreq>
<priority>0.8</priority>
</url>
<url>
<loc>your page 2 URL</loc>
<changefreq>weekly</changefreq>
<priority>0.5</priority>
</url>
</urlset>

You can also add the link to the site map to the robots.txt file, like this:

User-agent: *
Disallow: #*$!xx
Sitemap: URL of the sitemap

Good luck :)

well, you can submit any of the Sitempas either gzippped one or the non-gzipped one

you submit it by entering the ULR as http://www.example.com/sitemap.xml.gz if its the gzipped one
or else http://www.example.com/sitemap.xml wil do :)

Thanks moussa854,

I was also facing the same problem. I was using sitemap.xml.gz. I have created sitemap.xml and its working great.
