    ror sitemap

    I used ror sitemap to create a sitemap, submited it to goolge and I get this message from goolge



    A tag is an XML element. For instance, in the following snippet, <loc> is a tag.
    <url> <loc>http://www.example.com/</loc> <lastmod>2005-01-01</lastmod> <changefreq>monthly</changefreq> <priority>0.8</priority> </url>
    You might see this error if your Sitemap file is missing a required tag. For instance, in the following snippet, the <loc> tag is missing, and would trigger this error. <url> <lastmod>2005-01-01</lastmod> <changefreq>monthly</changefreq> <priority>0.8</priority> </url>Note the line number listed and see the protocol document for information on required tags. Once you have fixed your Sitemap, resubmit it.


    Should I be concerned about this error, use a different sitemapper, fix it? I don't really understand how to fix it.

    Re: ror sitemap

    Yes you should be concerned as your sitemap will not work.

    Fix this error by reading below...

    Provide a brief statement describing your RSS feed
    by adding a "<description></description>" element as a sub-element of
    the <channel></channel>" element.


    Open your sitemap up in notepad and make the following changes...


    Example: The top of your feed html will look like this... (add the bit in red as I have, obviously changing the words for your site description)

    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
    <!-- This file is a ROR Sitemap for describing this website to the search engines. For details about the ROR format, go to www.rorweb.com. -->
    <rss version="2.0" xmlns:ror="http://rorweb.com/0.1/" >
    <channel><description>enter your brief description here</description>
    <title>ROR Sitemap for http://www.tysoneducationalsystems.com/</title>
    <link>http://www.yoursite.com/</link>
    <item>
    Don't aim for success if you want it; just do what you love and believe in, and it will come naturally.

      Thanks! I'll try that, wouldn't it be nice if the sitemap would not create an error. I notice that over 9000 members have downloaded ror sitemap. Do all of those have the same problem? I've also emailed info@rorwb.com and received no answer!
