On my website I ahve put a sitemap, located at www.domain.com/sitema.xml, and i have submitted this to google, however when it donwloads the file it tells me there is an error which is: URL not under Sitemap path.
What does this mean and how do I fix it? Thanks.

1) Make sure to change the file name to sitemap.xml 2)What does your sitemap.xml file have listed? Usually the error you reported comes when you have a URL listed in your sitemap file that doesn't exist in that folder or subdirectory. The best way I have found to format a Google sitemap file is as follows (feel free to copy & paste this code and save as sitemap.xml and place in your ROOT directory next to your index page): Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<urlset xmlns="http://www.google.com/schemas/sitemap/0.84">
<url>
<loc>http://www.yourdomain.com/</loc>
<lastmod>2005-11-27</lastmod>
<changefreq>weekly</changefreq>
<priority>1.0</priority>
</url>
</urlset>
Between the <loc> tags: Replace with your website address. Between <lastmod> tags: Replace with todays date; and then change when ever you update your website's content. [EDIT]Also, in your Google Sitemaps account, be sure to have your website verified if you haven't already, or Google won't give you their crawls stats...[/EDIT]

Basically my site mpa looks like this
<url> <loc>http://www.domain.com/page.php</loc> <lastmod>2005-12-30T04:52:03-06:00</lastmod> <changefreq>weekly</changefreq> <priority>0.5</priority> </url> I use phpSitemapNG with a cron job to automatically generate and submit this sitemap to google. Currently sitemaps isnt actually showing any errors, but that might just be because the site hasn't been crawled yet. Thanks for your input.
