    I'm using this wordpress plug in for sitemaps in my blog:

    http://www.arnebrachhold.de/projects...aps-generator/

    The plugin creates two sitemaps one that looks normal to us human readers and another thats looks unintelligible. In the below example, the first one is the normal one.


    http://www.copyblogger.com/sitemap.xml

    http://copyblogger.com/sitemap.xml

    When i logged in to google webmaster tools, it says that it has not detected my sitemap. So now i want to manually submit the sitemap. However i can only add the unintelligible second version. Its that ok? Or do i have to add the sitemap that looks normal to us humans or are both fine?

    Thanks in advance.

    my website is set-up as a .www website but the plugin set it up so that the www. sitemap is the strange one (eg http://copyblogger.com/sitemap.xml ) and non-www is the normal sitemap is the normal one.

    so when i go to submit the sitemap it asks me for www.mysite.com/sitemap.xml but for me the address of the normal one is http://www.mysite.com/sitemap.xml

    so the problem is with the plugin i guess.

    Many of the sitemap generators create a XML Sitemap that is ease for us to read and the other a ZIPped version. Both should be placed in your "root directory".

    Sitemap file should be created by XML.It's popular.
    Or you can use Google Analytic to Google find u.

    Yeah.
    The URL in Sitemap.xml and google sitemap is same.
    If not , you can't active your sitemap.
