Sitemap Validation

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
Oct 20.2010

Hello,
I am currently running my xml sitemap i’ve created through test to make sure it’s valid.

I am using [url]http://www.xml-sitemaps.com/validate-xml-sitemap.html[/url] to validate.

The problem i keep running into is the following error message:

[CODE]Schema validating with XSV 3.1-1 of 2007/12/11 16:20:05

* Target: http://www.mysite.com/sitemap.xml
(Real name: http://www.mysite.com/sitemap.xml
Length: 2748809 bytes

* docElt: {http://www.google.com/schemas/sitemap/0.90}urlset
* No declaration for document root found, validation was lax
* The schema(s) used for schema-validation had
no errors
* No schema-validity problems were found in the target

http://www.google.com/schemas/sitemap/0.90
(source: docElt) for
http://www.google.com/schemas/sitemap/0.90,
failed:

couldn’t open[/CODE]

It seems that is can’t open [url]http://www.google.com/schemas/sitemap/0.90[/url] ?

I don’t think it’s the problem with my xml, since i ran a test on the following and got the same error:

[code=html]<?xml version=”1.0″ encoding=”UTF-8″?>
<urlset xmlns=”http://www.google.com/schemas/sitemap/0.90″>
<url>
<loc>http://www.sitemappro.com/</loc>
<lastmod>2010-01-27T23:55:42+01:00</lastmod>
<changefreq>daily</changefreq>
<priority>0.5</priority>
</url>
</urlset>[/code]

Anyone have any ideas?

@rayhabauthorOct 20.2010 — Just an updated.. i changed the header of the url set to
[code=html]<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<urlset xmlns="http://www.sitemaps.org/schemas/sitemap/0.9" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">
<url>
<loc>http://www.example.com/</loc>
<changefreq>daily</changefreq>
<priority>1.0</priority>
</url>
</urlset>[/code]

Now i get a new error:

@TejjiOct 25.2010 — Why don't you create new sitemap using Sitemap and then validate. The tool create sitemaps as per sitemaps.org standard which is recognized across search engines

@TejjiNov 04.2010 — Sitemap tool allow you to create sitemap for site with more than 50000 urls. It is worth a try.

@stefanrajNov 10.2010 — Site map is very much important for a huge website.. for example the portal sites are all having a more then a 5000+ pages, so the users get confusion.. so that only site map is very much important..
