    sitemap issues & google errors

    Hi - so sorry but I did have a thread going, I was typing into it when it suddenly closed and now I can't find it again. Maybe I somehow deleted it but don't know how!

    Shafi had helped me rename my index page and redirect a link to it but now I'm getting this error after submitting again,
    Format URLs in Sitemap Submitted Downloaded Sitemap Total: 6, Indexed: 1 Oct 19, 2009 – Resubmit
    Oct 19, 2009 Sitemap errors and warnings

    Line Status Details 40 Invalid URL
    This is not a valid URL. Please correct it and resubmit. URL: mailto://:0
    Parent tag: url
    Tag: loc
    Problem detected on: Oct 19, 2009

    I've sent email to and from <enquiries@carmosceramics.com> and it's working so I don't understand the issue.

    Please advise?
    Thanks so much,
    Dyral

    Hi - please help if you can as this stupid mailto://:0 error seems to be what's holding up the site being searchable.

    I've fixed all the links that should direct to that email address + sent/received/replied etc to/from the email address and it's working so I can't work out what to do or what's wrong????
    Thanks very much,
    Dyral

      just a shot in the dark.

      Remove the email link from the button.

      create a page and have the email address there.

      link the page to the button.

        Google will not recognise mailto://:0 as a URL. It is a mail link and irrelevant for indexing from Google's point of view. It will only index and crawl pages that are http:// or www etc.
        Run the BV sitemap tool to crawl your site again and delete anything that is not an actual page of the site.
        Re-submit.

          CORRECT ... which which explains why the multiple threads were deleted after being answered and not followed: apparently people are not aware of the difference between a URL, a LINK, or a COMMAND.
