Google Sitemap NEVER WORKS... Why?
I already verified my site via Meta-tag. I have a google Bot that shows up on my site occasionally. However.. No matter what I do... Google does NOT accept any type of sitemap I give it... I created an txt XML of my site... Created an HTML page with the txt XML code, placed it into google (File name: sitemap-h1.htm) didnt work. The status ALWAYS receives a red X. I typed the word "feed" into site map because I read on a thread here that it works.. Well.. It didnt.. I typed the word RSS, didn't work... Idk what to do anymore.. My site is not showing up AT ALL on google so I have no traffic entering my site.. I need some serious help on this..

You use the meta tags and place it at Admin Panel // General // Search Engine // Meta Tags

Re: Google Sitemap NEVER WORKS... Why?
As stated above, I have done that. I followed everything I should have done. I know the meta tag works because as I again stated above, Google Bots are showing up on my site occasionally.
If there is other meta tags I should be adding, can you please tell me where to get them specifically?
I have followed every detail accordingly on these 2 threads.. NOTHING WORKS.

Re: Google Sitemap NEVER WORKS... Why?
May I remind you that double/triple posting isn't tolerated unless separated by 24 hours (Use the edit button) |
It only works with meta tags not HTML, nor feed.
It takes awhile for Google Site map to work. You need a lot of post, sharing links to twitter and users.

Re: Google Sitemap NEVER WORKS... Why?
I see..Well currently my site has about 500 post. I'd think thats a reasonable amount of post by now for a site map to work.
It it unclear to me when you say it takes a while for google site map to work.. How will I know? Are you saying that I dont need to to add a sitemap file into googles webmaster tools? I'm new to this whole process..
** I have added the previous post into 1 post. You may delete the other 2.

Re: Google Sitemap NEVER WORKS... Why?
Ehh.. I guess this was over looked.. Still no help here yet. Apparently google was not excepting the site with "www" but only without it.
However I still have a problem. only ONE out of 500 submitted URLs are being indexed into google.. I have waited for a week to see if the number changed and still it only says 1 URL indexed out of 500.
Can someone please help me get my site indexed? I don't know whats wrong..

Re: Google Sitemap NEVER WORKS... Why?
Create a new HTML page on your forum.
Paste this below :
After you've added the above, edit the code below and paste your links that you want search engines to find :
Find & replace https://www.forumotion.com/ with your links to your forum and keep using the code to add more links.
Once you've finished adding links to the site map, end off by adding this below :
Save your page and get the link, then submit it to your webmaster tools and give it a minute to verify that your site map is valid.
Paste this below :
- Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<urlset
xmlns="http://www.sitemaps.org/schemas/sitemap/0.9"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.sitemaps.org/schemas/sitemap/0.9
http://www.sitemaps.org/schemas/sitemap/0.9/sitemap.xsd">
After you've added the above, edit the code below and paste your links that you want search engines to find :
- Code:
<url>
<loc>http://www.forumotion.com/</loc>
<changefreq>daily</changefreq>
</url>
Find & replace https://www.forumotion.com/ with your links to your forum and keep using the code to add more links.

Re: Google Sitemap NEVER WORKS... Why?
Thanks i'll give this a try, however I will say that i have done exactly this method already. I used http://www.xml-sitemaps.com/standalone-google-sitemap-generator.html and then separated the sitemaps in two with 250 URLs on each side, all coded the same way you gave me that code above. Basically I made 2 HTML sitemap pages and submitted that to Google but they only accepted one of the 500. -___-
I will use the first code you presented me with and reply here with an update on my status, i'll test out 10 URLs to see first.
**Edit: Well... Google accepted only ONE URL still.. Which happens to be the same URL it accepted before. It has still not indexed any other links... smh (shaking my head) . Seems like the problem still remains.
