Need help with image sitemap

    i am trying to make an image sitemap and submit it to google webmasters as the major content of the site in question is images.

    Now the problem that i am facing is,since it has many images i had used the rename option in windows.

    So the files got named as

    abc (1).jpg
    abc (2).jpg
    abc (3).jpg
    abc (4).jpg


    Now the problem is there is a space in between c and ( in the filename.

    How do i enter it into the sitemap?

    I want to know what the url of the image should be?

    for example if the url is google.com then is it ok if the url for images in the sitemap is:-

    google.com/abc (1).jpg?

    Please help and guide me with this issue.

    Thanks

    Exchange empty space with %20

    By the way, you can also use the trial of A1 Sitemap Generator to create your image sitemap. Then you don't need to bother :)

    it would be better if you can replace the space with "_" or "-".
