I made an xml sitemap, giving this error. Please help

I don't know much about xml. I generated an xml sitemap from xml-sitemaps.com
for windowsprosofva

The sitemap that generated from the site was

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<urlset
      xmlns="http://www.sitemaps.org/schemas/sitemap/0.9"
      xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
      xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.sitemaps.org/schemas/sitemap/0.9
            http://www.sitemaps.org/schemas/sitemap/0.9/sitemap.xsd">

  <loc>http://www.windowprosofva.com/</loc>
  <priority>0.5</priority>
  <lastmod>2007-04-16T19:20:33+00:00</lastmod>
  <changefreq>daily</changefreq>
</url>
</urlset>

Code (markup):

I thought this sitemap does not mentions about all outbound links and changed to following

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<urlset
      xmlns="http://www.sitemaps.org/schemas/sitemap/0.9"
      xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"

</urlset>

Code (markup):

I then uploaded the sitemap to Google Webmaster Tools.

It gives the following errors.

What changes I need to do, Should I use the same first sitemap that generated from xml-sitemaps.com ...... Please guide me for making a sitemap for this site.

Thanks!

 

I am not sure. I used this tool to create google sitemap.

http://www.vigos.com/products/gsitemap/

It works perfect for me. It is freeware. Try it if you like.

 

If you generate a sitemaps for the site http://domain.com/ you can only add links leading with http://domain.com/

http://domain.com/mypage.php is a valid URL
http://otherdomain.com/ is an invalid URL

See http://sitemaps.org/faq.html#faq_sitemap_location

 

Thanks Buddy for help!

Trying it right now ...

It means this sitemap is correct

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<urlset xmlns="http://www.google.com/schemas/sitemap/0.84">

    <loc>http://www.windowprosofva.com</loc>

Thanks!

 

Yes it is, but it's not perfect.
You should keep just one of the following reciprocal URLs
domain.com
domain.com/

 

Problem Solved.
