    You dont publish the site to google. You simply list in webmaster tools at google.com where the site map is.

    When you publish you are simply publishing to your account.

    www.porteryorkies.com/sitemap.xml

    That would be the link you give to google.

      Re: Can't publish Site Map to Google

      I went to google and hit add a site . I tried to add the link you said but it told me it was not a url. I put in porteryorkies and then it told me to do the following...
      Copy the meta tag below, and paste it into your site's home page. It should go in the <head> section, before the first <body> section.

      I copied the tag and tried to paste it directly onto my index page. I couldn't. I can't get verified could you please help me again...sorry.

        right click on the index page, choose page html and paste it between the head tags.

          thanks..I did that and it was verified but it said it was not indexed. What does that mean?
          I again tried to use the link you gave me....www.porteryorkies.com/sitemap.xml
          but it still wouldn't let me. I had to use www.porteryorkies.com
          is that going to be a problem?

                  you cant PUBLISH TO GOOGLE. You would have to FTP TO GOOGLE using the directions they give you. You would then FIND the sitemap in your BV folder and upload it.

                  You LOGIN TO GOOGLE and then give them that link to VERIFY YOUR SITE under google webmaster tools add a site map.
