Re: Google gives me this error

what is the URL of the sitemap your are submitting?

It should be something like: sitemap_index.xml.gz

if you are using vbSEO Sitemap generator

Well, Heres the thing with the vbSEO. I installed it but never actually bought it to get a password.

I would need to purchase to get this right?

That why I want to get this Google Generator working correctly. Im not even displayed on the search engine..

Re: Google gives me this error

You dont have to purchase vbSEO to use or access the vbSEO sitemap generator, its a 100% free modification.

How old is your site? Sitemaps generally don't help you get included in the search engines, they are only there so you can track progress.

Re: Google gives me this error

Yes, you're site is only 6 days old.

Get some backlinks going to your site by submitting to directories and putting the link in your signatures and you'll get indexed faster

Re: Google gives me this error

I figure you've already done this, but its worth asking.

You did submit your sites to be spidered by Google and Yahoo! right?
Yahoo! Submit Your Site
and
Add your URL to Google

If you have, just be patient and they'll get to you. In the meantime keep building up content and links.
