my personal experience with google sitemaps, is very good, its help me alot to fix those pages which was not indexed well. and most of my web pages where indexed in about 1-2 months.
A decline in the # of indexed pages indicates that either your site has plenty of links to questionable sites or pages with no unique content.

Could be a couple of things. In looking at your sitemap I see that you do not have www on any of your links. Also, I don't think that first link will be parsed right through the xml. I could be wrong but that's a guess. Where are you getting these error messages?
Sitemaps are merely a tool ... like a hammer. It can be used properly to build a house, or used improperly to destroy a house. If you try to use a hammer to build a house of rice paper, it may tear big holes in the delicate structure of your new home. Some people love their hammers because they start with good building materials and the hammer helps to bring them all together. Some people don't like their hammer because they start with poor building materials and the hammer makes it fall apart. Same deal with sitemaps and websites... The sitemap merely tells Google where your pages are. It is up to the quality of the code, the content, the links in and out, and many other factors that determine whether Google 'keeps' a page or 'dumps' it. The Google sitemaps program has alerted me to pages I didn't think they knew about (sites under development for clients). These pages were under my domain, but not linked to (not that I knew of). I was able to block these from being spidered through robots.txt and save my site from being penalized any further.
Ok i'll give it s shoot..I know my other site was ok but it had the www. so i'll try to change it thanks
Thats not the case either. The content is unique and there are 0 outbound links. I think the reason might be the limited number of inbound links. I have now 8000+ pages indexed and expected to grow becuse i removed the sitemap.
I have submited sitemap 2 weeks ago and my 28 pages indexed. I am generating sitemap automatically by using PHP. For two week I am waiting for new indexes. In sitemap I have 2000+ links but google has stil 28 indexes. I have done everything that is writen in the hepl documents in google. The change freq of the links are all "weekly". Is there any trick to have new pages indexed?
If goog shows that they have read the sitemap then it's just a matter of time along with links, traffice, etc.... Does the sitemap show that it has been downloaded?
