                Would you please check my site NavalDesign? I've uploaded my sitemap but seem to be having a challenge viewing it on my site on the internet. I must have missed something. Thanks in advance NavalDesign, I appreciate you.

                However, seems like the "ror.xml" file is not uploaded on your site. You need to get the file (or code, depends on what option you have selected when you created your sitemap) and upload it in your "public_html".

                      Re: Your Google Sitemap

                      There are two different kinds of sitemaps:

                      1. The visual ones. These contain all the links to all your pages that you want indexed by SE. Usually a link to the sitemap page is contained in the homepage.Once a SE has found your dite, it also discovers (from the homepage link) the sitemap page and from there all your pages URLs. This is a human sitemap, but serves as well for SEs too.
                      2. The SE sitemaps. These are only for SE use, and yes, they are usually in xml (like ROR). It does the same job, but only for SEs.

                      If you need a visual (human) sitemap as well as a xml sitemap, then you need to use some of the software you can find on the net (usually paid for) that allowes creating (and manually editing, to optimise) both the visual part as well as the xml part. Many of them also allow autoatic submission of the site and sitemap also to SEs.

                          Re: Your Google Sitemap

                          Hi Navaldesign,
                          Am I right or have I got it hoplessly wrong? I downloaded the ror.xml file via blueftp to my html folder and created a hidden link to my index page (not very hidden; click on the red dot ober the "i" in jamesbartondesign title). Now the ror file seems to show only info about my home page: is this as it should be? Also the file looks very, very different depending on which browser it is viewed in: IE,firefox, opera or netscape.

                          I have also manually created a visual site map, accessible from text navigation at the bottom left of my main pages, including a link to the ror.xml file. Should I have done this?

                          Would be grateful if you could point out any mistakes in what I have done.

                          Regards,
                          James.

                            Naval? Would you kindly give me the url's of the visual ones that allow automatic submission of the site and sitemap? Preferably the ones that are free? Thanks, you're a sweetie.

                              DO NOT PUT A HIDDEN LINK to anything as thats a BIG NO NO. All you have to do is enter a meta tag to tell the SE where your XML site map is located.

                              <link rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml" title="ROR" href="sitemap.xml" />
                              And the search engines will see it just fine.

                              Pristine:

                              A visual site map is just a page with links on it to all your pages and products.

                              Heres a list of them on google.. around 4 million.. im sure one of them is FREE!

                                I named my sitemap, sitemap, so if you have left yours as ror, in the link above, change it to ror.xml in the meta tag.

                                Hidden LINKS, or even the practive of linking one LETTER will get you SE banned and defeat the purpose of putting up a sitemap to start with.
