Google refuses to crawl my sitemaps included not in the root folder

    My sitemaps are generated not in my root folder, so google refuses to crawl them. I can ping them from my site and it says submitted. but is it the same?

    If your sitemap is not in the root and in the subfolder /myfolder/mysitemap.xml then you can only report links from that subfolder.
    Example:
    /myfolder/mypage.htm - ok
    /myfolder/f1/mypage.htm - ok
    /anotherfolder/mypage.htm - not ok

    May be that is your problem.

    Why don't you just move them to your root folder :)

    Google has stated that all site maps be located in the domain's root. Do this and you will have no problem.

    We have been doing this for ~ 2 years now without problems.
