    My google site map is .xml should I use the .xml for yahoo because I read from your like on yahoo submit site:

    A text file containing a list of URLs, each URL at the start of a new line. The filename of the URL list file must be urllist.txt; for a compressed file the name must be urllist.txt.gz.

    So should I open my .xml file and save it as a .txt file for yahoo?

    Yahoo Site Maps are Text files with one encoded URL per line. It should reside in the root directory.

    Here's an example. http://www.riderinfo.com/sitemap.txt


    EDIT:
    HUGE OPPS! They changed it it seems in the last 3 or so months!
