Dunno where you got that info from? at their page at : https://www.google.com/webmasters/tools/siteoverview i can add my sitemaps for my blogs, no matter where blogs are - domain, subdomain, subfolder and etc.. And yes, BO produces the sitemaps in xml format, but it is compressed to save you bandwidth. Google and rest SEs have no problems with the .xml.gz compressed files, and even encourage people use those, so they save bandwidth too. look again at your stuff at google, but for me and rest people works just fine. _________________ Thanks, Kaktusan Back to top Author Message ferlo Joined: 19 Sep 2006 Posts: 9 Posted: Sat Nov 03, 2007 11:09 am    Post subject: well, to be honest I'm not able to add the sitemap as you state. bo is installed on domainA blog is on domainB when I try to add the sitemap of domainB that is located on domanA google says something like: sitemap must be on domainB. you mean that I should create an new entry for the domain where BO is installed, then pass to google sitemaps from BO installation domain ? sorry but I'm a bit confused.

Google wants each site to be added as its own. When you create a blog or whatever site at example: http://www.mydomain.com/ you should add it first to google as site, then you can add for it sitemaps and etc.. if you have blog at same domain but in subfolder like: http://www.mydomain.com/blog/ you should add it again as site first and then add sitemap, same for subdomains like http://subdomain.mydomain.com/ So to summarize if you have a blog at http://www.mydomain.com/blog/ you must add it first as site, and then click on it and add a sitemap like: http://www.mydomain.com/blog/sitemap.xml.gz Hope that helps.. _________________ Thanks, Kaktusan Back to top Author Message ferlo Joined: 19 Sep 2006 Posts: 9 Posted: Sat Nov 03, 2007 12:36 pm    Post subject: got the point atanasis. I solved the problem. I was still running the old version of scripts on my blogs. I've added the new files in the zip, and now everything is ok. Just added a couple of sites' xml sitemaps in google webmaster tools. thanks alot Back to top Author Message Atanasis Owner Joined: 22 May 2004 Posts: 4284 Location: The Net Posted: Sat Nov 03, 2007 12:52 pm    Post subject: cool, enjoy _________________ Thanks, Kaktusan Back to top Display posts from previous: All Posts1 Day7 Days2 Weeks1 Month3 Months6 Months1 Year Oldest FirstNewest First         Cheapest Web Software Support Area Forum Index -> Blogs Organizer All times are GMT + 2 Hours Page 1 of 1   Jump to: Select a forum Knowledge Base (Read Only)----------------F.A.QBlogs OrganizerBlogs AutomaterLinks OrganizerRocket PingerFeeds Observer Technical Support (Read / Post)----------------Blogs OrganizerBlogs AutomaterLinks OrganizerRocket PingerFeeds Observer  You cannot post new topics in this forum You cannot reply to topics in this forum You cannot edit your posts in this forum You cannot delete your posts in this forum You cannot vote in polls in this forum Powered by phpBB © 2001, 2002 phpBB Group
