Hi If i submit a google sitemap, by pinging http://www.google.com/webmasters/sitemaps/ping?sitemap=http://mysitemapurl... WITHOUT a google webmasters account set up for that site, will it still work/be ok?
I think it is required that the sitemap has an associated account. (You do not need to log in for pinging though)
Did you type in the right url? It's not reachable. Submit sitemap to google, I think you need an account.
It is obviously not the right URL. Just replace it with google.com if you want to see the page ( I keep some of my sites secret )
