Hello: I submitted my site map to google and Under status there were denied urls. 3 pages had URL not under sitemap domain. I used a generator. I looked at the file and the URLS are listed ? Very new to this. Not sure what to do next. only have 8 page site. No sub domains. Thanks for the help
If you have such small sites, you may just want to create the sitemap manually. It's not very difficult. Just follow the format that Google offers here: http://www.google.com/webmasters/sitemaps/docs/en/protocol.html#sitemapXMLExample You can even leave out some info and just use the URLs if you want to keep it simple and just let Google know what's on your site.
G's sitemap requires full url and only one domain per SM. so www.mydomain.xxx/page1 etc OK in the same file you can't have just page1 or www.anotherdomain.xxx/page2 expat
Sorry I see I posted this in the wrong thread. Is this site map correct ?
