I added a sitemap and got this error message:"Your Sitemap appears to be an HTML page. Please use a supported sitemap format instead." What can I do to correct this problem?
Which CMS you are using for your site? You may find mods/plugin to generate XML sitemap. Otherwise create your own sitemap manually using http://www.xml-sitemaps.com/ and submit that to Google Webmasters. This article may help you - Do I need to submit Website Details to Search Engines. Wish you all the best, Cheers!
Thanks but I'm confused about step 3 though:"You will see the generated sitemap details page, including number of pages, broken links list, XML file content and link to a compressed sitemap. Download the sitemap file using this link and put it into the "public_html/" folder of your site." Where do I find the public_html? I didn't have this problem with Bing Webmaster tool though. It accepted all of my html sitemaps.
