Hi,
I was very excited to find your tool Sitemap generator, we are brand new website owners. We purchased a website from a company online and I am creating a sitemap for google. I have done what was laid out in the video in order to create my sitemap, I have also uploaded it to my site. Now I am trying to submit it to google but I am getting the following warning errors
Line 3
Status Invalid XML tag
This tag was not recognized. Please fix it and resubmit.

Parent tag: urlset

Problem detected on: Nov 9, 2008
This same line showed up 10 time.
Please let me know if there is additional information you need to help me resolve this problem.
Hello,
Send me a private message with the url of your sitemap and I’ll take a look. If Google kicked back an error, I’m guessing you didn’t export it out as a XML Sitemap. Do this when you are done spidering / crawling your site.
Choose the Sitemap Tab, then down one line to the left, choose the Export tab, then Sitemap XML
That should do it
Enjoy!
Jim.
Hello Wee,
I received your website address and it is exactly as I suspected. You need to export it out as a XML Sitemap (not XML File). Do this when you are done spidering / crawling your site.
You have the XML file, which you can import and make an XML Sitemap. The XML file is an option for large sites that take a long time to crawl and you need to stop half way through and continue later.
Also – I noticed a lot of duplicate title tags. You don’t want that, each should be unique.
Best regards,
Jim.
