    I have been working on this problem for a while now.
    I have a site and i used a free online sitmap generator to make a google site map for it, after i submit it keeps on comming back with this error
    "Your Sitemap does not contain any URLs. Please validate and resubmit your Sitemap"
    I have used sitemaps for this site and others before, and they have all worked out fine, but i just cant get this one to work, i know the sitmap is not empty, and im out of guess as to what the problem is.
    this is the url of the site map www.infobrink.com/sitemap.xml
    anyone ever had this kind of problem before?
    Thanks

    Did you try validating with online validators? I did it yesterday but forgot the url, will post the link later.

    yes, i have validated it, so i think that the format and everything is correct.
    However i i had an idea the other day that might be my problem. when i had the sitemaps working for this page i was using a txt sitemap, and now im trying to switch it over to a xml map. Is there some setting somewhere that i need to change so that it knows its xml?
