Default sitemap not complete

hello. i have dyslexia and a great deal of this is hard to follow - even trying to enter a question here. after a couple of hours reading, i tried your sitemap generator, which was different from the other ones i tried (i've been trying to do this for 3 weeks) and all i got was one URL and the rest were skipped. it said it downloaded but when i click on it on my desktop nothing opens up and i dont know where or how to upload it to my site. i know it shouldnt be this hard. i will happily pay for your services for any kind of help. this is the ninth place i have tried. thank you.

Default Sitemaps

Let's make this your last place, shall we

What operating system do you have?

When you save the file out, you can type in a path, such as c:\sitemap.xml which would save the file to your c: drive.

Regards,

Jim.

Thank you, Jim. I hope so too.

I have a mac/intel. If I were to save it correctly, how would I load it and where would I put it?

Originally, I uploaded something that worked even though there were 0 URLs listed. I was in the Google cache and the googlebot was crawling me but it never picked up the internal links of which I have > 100. It then stopped crawling because of robots.txt. So he told me to delete whatever it was and put in sitemap.xml. Now I don't even have a cache and still no internal links and traffic is almost non-existent.

Your site identified my internal IP - is that why GA keeps counting me? I filtered both IPs out but I'm still being counted. I access from two different google accounts. One is verified and the other is not - even though it's the same site. One account wants me to change the meta tag in order to be verified.

I'm not stupid - just confused and it seems so straightforward. I sent you something via paypal under jt.

Thanks a lot. Really.

Default Made my day!

I sent you an email thanking you for the most generous gift! You made my day

I'll not only help you generate the sitemap, but I'll review your site as well and point out the items that impact your ranking.

Thanks!

Jim.

Default Robots.txt file blocking sitemap generator.

I just sent you an email with urls, but am repeating here so others can benefit as well.

If you run the sitemap generator and tell it to NOT respect the robots.txt file, you'll index your site.

You have a robots.txt file that tells all search engines to stay away from your site and my sitemap generator respects that by default. Here are the contents of your robots.txt file:

User-agent: Mediapartners-Google
Disallow:

User-agent: *
Disallow: /search
Noindex: /(snip)
Disallow: /


The "User-agent: *" means this section applies to all robots. The "Disallow: /" tells the robot that it should not visit any pages on the site.

If you want your site indexed (beside changing your robots.txt file), you would do well to have your own site other than blogger, something like wordpress on an inexpensive host. With blogger, you are building up your site, but google will always associate it with blogger. If you have your own domain, then it will always be yours.

Actually, you can buy your own domain name, pay wordpress $15 per year to host your site and map that domain to your wordpress account. So, $15 + 8 for the domain would be a total of $23 for a year of hosting!

Best regards - and thanks again!

Jim.
