Error with Google New Sitemap Please Help!

Hey all,

I seem to be having some trouble with my Google News Sitemap..I keep getting this error everytime I submit my sitemap and I don't know why..

Here is my .XML sitemap.

If anyone could help I would greatly appreciate it!

 

Should be the name of the sitemap like that

http://www.loansafe.org/sitemap.xml

 

Well I have a normal sitemap. I can't just rename it and override my existing sitemap with my Google News Sitemap

 

You can call a sitemap anything you like. As long as it is correct it doesn't matter.

 

Can someone check my sitemap to see if it correct?

 

Your first </url>, it doesnt have an open tag <url> (Line 16)

 

It could be useful for Paul :

Here's to create XML Sitemap manually based on Google Webmaster Central, OR try this XML Sitemap generator which the result in HTML is just like my Sitemap...

 

Also check if u have given www . loansafe . org instead of loansafe . org

 

rename it like sitemap.xml and resubmit

 

I manged to figure it out.

Instead of having the format like this:

<url>
−
<loc>
http://www.loansafe.org/government-debt-consolidation-loans
</loc>
−
<n:news>
−
<n:publication>
<n:name>LoanSafe</n:name>
<n:language>en</n:language>
</n:publication>
<n:publication_date>2010-02-19T18:07:41Z</n:publication_date>
<n:title>Government Debt Consolidation Loans </n:title>
</n:news>
</url>

Code (markup):

I had it like this...

<url>
−
<loc>
http://www.loansafe.org/government-debt-consolidation-loans
</loc>
−
<news>
−
<publication>
<name>LoanSafe</:name>
<language>en</language>
</publication>
<publication_date>2010-02-19T18:07:41Z</publication_date>
<title>Government Debt Consolidation Loans </title>
</news>
</url>

Code (markup):

I was missing the ":n" element.

 

Also, Here is the plugin I use for Wordpress to automatically update my sitemap with my latest articles...

And let me say that it works great!

 

You can make the sitemap with some online sitemap maker. It never goes wrong.
