    Hi, for some unknown reason, Google says my sitemap.xml has no URL's but it has?

    So i used some other websites and tried their sitemap service, upload to google then google says there are no URLs again

    I go to the ftp, check the uploaded sitemap and it looks fine, i then go to the mydomian.com/sitemap.xml and it is empty?

    I am confused as all other sitemaps for my other sites are ok, just this one

    Any ideas please

    Thank you all

    Cass

    Perhaps the urls do not match domain name? e.g. "www" vs no www version? Can we see the url to the xml sitemap?

    Hi and thanks for the reply

    Everything is in place, i have even compared it with another that isnt showing errors

    However, after messing with this since yesterday, i have just checked the URL to the sitemap in a browser, and instead of showing a blank page, it is now showing everything that it should

    Maybe it was a google glitch i dont know

    I will monitor it until google takes it out of the pending and see if it works

    Ah, just checked google and it now says "OK", an odd one byt it does seem ok now

    Thanks for you input
