Re: Sitemap For Soho?

Yes.. I meant &Session id tags.. not The php strings. Ive used site maps with nearly every site I own or build.. no matter what it is.

Re: Sitemap For Soho?

Thank you for all the sitemap information and I think I will be doing that as It just makes sense to have one. From the great information I recieved it should be a sinch.

Re: Sitemap For Soho?

I am still trying to create a google site map with google webmaster tools and I can’t seem to figure out how to verify my site. How do you access the root of the home page? google says to insert a Meta tag between the head and table on the root page. You also must verify your site to use their other tools so if someone is familiar with this process please help me out. My site is www.primalleathers.com

Thanks

Re: Sitemap For Soho?

Well, I was trying to answer this question before but others interuppted with confusing information.

You want to add a sitemap and google wont let you do that until you verify the site. This is correct.

So to verify your site with them, In the drop down box choose the method 'add a verification file' Or add am html file, I can't remember exactly what it asks.

Open up notepad and give it the name they give you (including the .html bit)

save it to your desktop

Open up BV > Tools > FTP manager and sign in.

Find the desktop on the left of the FTP screen and drag it into your public_html file on the right. Then click 'Verify' on Google

Re: Sitemap For Soho?

dont use the meta tag insertion, although it works, Google lose the verification every few weeks and keep asking you to do again. Use my method above

Re: Sitemap For Soho?

oh yeah you got soho haven't you.. forgot! You can always download an FTP client, they always worth having. You can download filezilla, cuteFTP... just do a search for them on Google. OR..... If you don't want to do that and you act quickly cos it's nearly 2am here and email me your log in and server details and the google code I'll do it for you in 10 seconds? You can find my email in my sig below, it's up to you.

Re: Sitemap For Soho?

OK Ramsey Im now verified with Google thanks to your help. It might help others with the same problem if you could explain , in dummy language, how you can verify a soholaunch site in google webmaster tools.

Thank you

Re: Sitemap For Soho?

Well most of us in the biz been doing it and this really doesnt get asked much. Its pretty well explained in google how to do it...either the meta tag or a text file. YOu can upload the text file in soho file manager, and just give google the link for it.. NOTHING dramatic about it.

Re: Sitemap For Soho?

What do you mean you submitted your url to make a sitemap? Submitted to who? You dont submit your site to google and get a sitemap.. you have to use a sitemap generator, get the map, and then upload it to your site..and then just give google the url where it resides.

Re: Sitemap For Soho?

one

more

time

very

slowly

You have to first use a program .. OTHER THAN GOOGLE.. to CREATE THE SITEMAP.

2. UPLOAD IT TO YOUR SITE

3... Tell google WHERE on your site you UPLOADED IT TO..

Re: Sitemap For Soho?

Look.. I just learned you are being purposely OBTUSE and already have your sitemap in place. This is wasting mine and everyone elses time. Thread LOCKED.. and dont do it again.
