I have created sitemaps for 2 of my sites using this webmaster tool. They are very different from each other. One is very simple and easy to understand. The other is very long and all the words look like jibberish. The urls are not understandable.
The question is do the search engines care which way it turns out? As long as it links through the site is it ok?
Also where can I add priority to pages?
Thanks.

The other option that you may have selected is exporting the ‘XML File’ instead of the ‘Sitemap XML’ which would generate something looking like this:
This is NOT for Google, but for you to save your sitemap and work on it later. Most users will not use this feature.
So, choose ‘Sitemap XML’ to generate your Google or Yahoo Sitemap.
Search engines do care, so make sure to use the right one (Sitemap XML).
When you are done spidering the site (the green arrow reappears), then use the slider at the bottom of the program to move to the far right and click on the Priority Field on the row you want to change and a list will pop up for you. Too easy, right
Hope that helps and have a great day!
Best regards,
Jim.
