Sitemap?

Hi,

I uploaded my sitemap to the public_html/ not when i go to google and pit public_html it says that it cannot be found, any reason why?

 

Tell google the URL of your sitemap. (The http://www.yourwebsite.com/sitemap.txt stuff.) That "public_html" stuff is irrelevant when it comes to google.

 

Just done that and still nothing

 

Google didn't return a message? Like "sitemap received" or something? Then give google the exact location in which you uploaded your sitemap. Did you put it in a subdirectory? A directory named "whoopsie" for instance? If so, the correct URL would be http://www.yourwebsite.com/whoopsie/sitemap.txt

 

Might be helpful if you told us what the actual url of the sitemap is so we can see if there's an issue.

 

Mine is here http://www.ukmember.com/sitemap.xml

Shows bugger all, can someone put theirs up so I can see what it should look like

 

Um, http://www.ukmember.com/sitemap.xml is a near empty file with no urls in there.

edit: Mine: http://drmikessteakdinner.com/sitemap.xml

 

I know why
My site had blocked everything like search engines ect. Sorted now

Cheers

 

Congratulation for setting it up. Sometime robot.txt file too prevent sitemap from showing.
