    I have created a sitmap for one of my site but I keep getting the following error

    I tried to check the said error line 6 and found the following entry <loc>http://www.sourceofarticles.com/All-/25027/How_To_Become_A_Freelance_Copywriter_In_New_York.html</loc> I can't find any problem with it...

    But still I tried to remove this line and resubmit it again... and still same problem..


    this is the example sitemap http://www.sourceofarticles.com/sitemap.php?st=0

    Try to resubmit your sitemap sometime later.
    I got the same problem, I made a new sitemap and It is working now.

    Your sitemap is wrong. It looks like this:
    
−<urlset>
−<url>
−<loc>
http://www.sourceofarticles.com/All-/25027/How_To_Become_A_Freelance_Copywriter_In_New_York.html
</loc>
</url>
−<url>
−<loc>
http://www.sourceofarticles.com/All-/25031/How_to_Benefit_From_Ezine_Articles.html
</loc>
</url>
</urlset>
    Code (markup):
    But should look more like this:
    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<urlset xmlns="http://www.sitemaps.org/schemas/sitemap/0.9">
   <url>
      <loc>http://www.example.com/</loc>
      <lastmod>2005-01-01</lastmod>
      <changefreq>monthly</changefreq>
      <priority>0.8</priority>
   </url>
</urlset>
    Code (markup):
    <lastmod>,<changefreq> and <priority> are optional but nice to have.
    Look here for the correct syntax: http://www.sitemaps.org/protocol.php
    Ever tried G-Sitecrawler ?

    the page that you mention says "Not Found
    The requested URL /All-/25027/How_To_Become_A_Freelance_Copywriter_In_New_York.html was not found on this server.

    Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.
    Apache/1.3.37 Server at www.sourceofarticles.com Port 80"
