Help submitting sitemap to Google

I'm trying to submit the sitemap for my Muse site using Google webmaster tools.
Each time I submit the sitemap I get an error message that the "URL is not allowed" and "This url is not allowed for a Sitemap at this location." The sitemap that's automatically generated by Business Catalyst is using the site.businesscatalyst.com domain instead of my default domain name and it's causing an error.
Does anyone know what's happening here?
Thanks!
Alan

Have you upgraded your BC site and added your domain to the site as well? Please refer this two part tutorial here: http://www.adobekb.com/launching_pt01.html and http://www.adobekb.com/launching_pt02.html
Once you have added the domain to your site and redelegated your domain to BC (to connect your domain name and your BC site), you can submit http://www.mysite.com/sitemap.xml to Google Webmaster Tools and Google will be able to access the same.
If you can share your site domain name and your BC site URL, it would provide us with some information to investigate and confirm status of your domain and site.
Cheers,

Submitting Sitemap to Google

Hi everyone, I just watched a lynda.com video which said to submit a sitemap to Google, all you needed to do was add sitemap.xml after the web address (in the appropriate box, within Google Webmaster Tools, in add a sitemap screen) and Google would be able to find it. When I did that, I got an error saying Google couldn't find it.
I've done the websites in question in Muse and they are hosted through Business Catalyst.
Is there another way to do that?
Thank you,
Annette

Both the sites are over an year old by creation date. Earlier in those days, site admins could easily disable the sitemap from their admin panel. The option is still there but is not directly accessible so that the user doesn't disable the option by mistake. For all new sites you create in BC now, sitemap.xml is enabled by default (and with the disable option hidden) so its quite unlikely that you would make this mistake.

Submitting Sitemaps

My site was made in Muse and is hosted with Business Catalyst. I now want to submit a sitemap to Google using the Google webmaster tools. I can create a sitemap using third party tools like XML Sitemaps Generator. But now I'm supposed to upload the file to the "root directory." How do I do this with this scenario when I am publishing directly from muse?

Hello SarahSchwartz,
You can login to your admin console of your site, for example you own domain.com, then you need to go to domain.com/admin and log in with your ID & password. Then you can click on the "Help & Support" link on the top right corner and in the opening page scroll to the bottom where you will find the "FTP Configuration" settings.
More helpful details in the KB related to this matter from BC: http://kb.worldsecuresystems.com/153/bc_153.html
Make sure to first log in into the admin console and just then through FTP.
Cheers,
Cristian

This is actually very simple with native LabVIEW functions.
Use an TCP Open Connection to open a port to the server (I used
ws.cdyne.com, with port 80).
Send your request with TCP Write (I send the text listed below. This text is
copied directly from the ws.cdyne.com web page, where you can find examples
for POST, GET and others).
Read back the data with TCP Read.
Close the connection with TCP Close Connection.
Note that the data you send and receive doesn't need to be HTML. It could be
any text, but most likelly XML or HTML. In this case it's a soap message,
basically an XML format designed for communicating with servers. Some
servers send the data back in several parts, but I have not found any
describtion about this format.
Regards,
Wiebe.

Adobe Muse - submitting sitemap error

Good morning,
I am having an issue when trying to submit a sitemap to Google Webmaster Tools - It is coming back with the error 'Network unreachable: robots.txt unreachableWe were unable to crawl your Sitemap because we found a robots.txt file at the root of your site but were unable to download it. Please ensure that it is accessible or remove it completely.'
I don't have a robots.txt file in my folder so I'm not sure what's going on...
Thanks in advance,
Tom.

Hi Tom, sorry for the delay
I found some known issue for these errors, according to google webmaster tools
This can happen when Googlebot encounters a time-out or other network related issue when requesting a file from your site, and thus is forced to abandon the request. This can be caused by one or more of the following:
Excessive page load times due to dynamic pages taking too long to respond
Excessive page load times due to a site's hosting server being down, overloaded, or misconfigured
The hosting server is blocking Google's web-crawler
A DNS configuration issue.
in short, ask our host, to make sure robots.txt file is not restricted. Also confirm, make sure you have robots.txt for each site.
I was unable to access this file for any site above. So either it is restricted or does not exist.
Do let me know if you have any question.

IWeb sitemap and Google search

I'm sorry, I mistakenly formerly entered this topic as a post on a previously answered question regarding Google Keywords. I have more questions on this topic.
I have two questions:
2. I have .mac and am using domain forwarding. I obtained and followed step by step instructions from iweb Faq - show up on Google. I obtained the sitemap and placed it in the Web/Site folder. When I check with Google webmaster tools, I get the following warning:
URLs not followed
When we tested a sample of the URLs from your Sitemap, we found that some URLs were not accessible to Googlebot because they contained too many redirects. Please change the URLs in your Sitemap that redirect and replace them with the destination URL (the redirect target). All valid URLs will still be submitted.
2. How do I refresh my iweb sitemap?
I'm a genuine newbie, and don't know anything about html.
Thanks for any help.

Here's a couple of examples of links to other sites.....
http://www.mirroroftheuniverse.com/Contact.html
http://www.mirroroftheuniverse.com/Buy.html
These can be links to sites that you think would be of interest to your viewers, retail outlets and services related to your product.
Some of the links on the "Buy" page are there because these sites link to mine and the site owners have requested a link to theirs. This particular product is listed on 60+ sites so I can't possibly put them all in although, in a perfect world, I would take the time to do so!
Interlinking of websites is normally a reciprocal arrangement between site owners whose websites compliment each other but are not in direct competition.

Trying, but unable to Submit Sitemap to Google

I made a sitemap.xml file of my website with Rage Sitemap Automator. I'm supposed to submit a URL to Google, and the Rage Sitemap Automator produced a URL to submit, the one that the software used to get my website files. The problem is that at Google, where you submit the sitemap URL, my website URL is in front of Sitemap field/enter box. After entering the URL into this field, Google tacks it onto the end of my website URL and it comes back "this seems to be a html page" and "404 not found." (Of course there is no webpage with a URL like that)! I've tried many other combinations, what seems to come closest to working is entering my website URL/sitemap.xml, this seems to point to the location of this .xml file since most of my website files are in a folder with my website URL as the title, that is within my Sites Folder. At least then my webpages are listed, but they all have the red X's by them, also the link "See Sitemap" works and links to my sitemap. Not good enough. Any ideas out there?

Both "http://web.me.com/username/" & "http://web.me.com/username/websitename/" link to the "Enter" Pg. of my website. If you refer back to my first reply to you on this post (the Rage Support Suggestion), I submitted the 2nd URL (above) to Google Webmaster Tools and this time was able to verify it, and access a Dashboard. But when I entered the this 2nd URL into the Sitemap entry field, same results: "404 not found." Days ago I suggested to the Rage Support guy that MobileMe Support told me "they blocked spiders" and basically discouraged its users from being involved with Google's Tools. The Rage guy assured me I was "confused & mistaken, that most of their Sitemap Automator users were with MobileMe," he then offered to solve the problem if I sent my Google Login info. I didn't write back.
So I think your right-it wont work. And for awhile now I've known I wasn't going to renew with MobileMe. Do you have any opinions about possible reliable commercial hosting services, especially with regards to publishing with iWeb and setting up an online store?
Thanx for trying to help.

Sitemap for google from page created with Adobe Muse

"Can anyone help me with submitting my site to google.
I realise adobe muse automatically creates a sitemap.xml file, however I am not sure how to submit this to Google?
Is there a way to upload the sitemap.xml file into the muse sites' root folder.

Hey there,
I had to edit your post because it was being flagged as spam by the system.
You never need to go into that hidden admin page, you already have your sitemap.xml generated. To register your site with google you need to use google webmaster tools.
Google for that and read up on how to use it. Note - To set the site up use the meta data version to put on your site.

Errors when submitting sitemap.xml to Webmasters.

When I submit my sitemap.xml to Google Websmasters it says there is an error for every one of my pages. It says there that this url is not allowed. i submitted "the-domain-name".com/sitemap.xml
Does anyone know why this is happening?
Thanks alot!
Russ

Hello Russ,
Try this format:
http://"the-domain-name".com/sitemap.xml

Help with BC and Google maps integration

Hi, I am considering going for the paid option of BC so that I can have access to the web apps. But before I go ahead, I have a few questions for someone who may be able to help.
I am building the site on adobe muse - this is not the latest version of muse as I am working on an windows 7 computer. Would all the BC web apps work on the site for all it is not the latest version?
Also, the thing I am really interested in is the ability to do an interactive map, building pins etc at the back end - is there any tutorials that anyone can point me to to help possibly with styling of say the little pop up box? I have watched the AID+BC muse and BC dynamic duo webinar on aidbc already, but wondered if there was more tutorials that would help.
Also, is it possible to use a stylized map, or do you have to go with the default google map? If you can use a stylized map, how do you add this to the BC web app.
Sorry for so many questions, but need to know before I make the leap onto a paid BC option.
Many thanks for anyone who can help
Michele

HI Michelle,
Muse can not and does not utilise or have access to all that BC is. It does not give you access to the layouts and things like eCommerce and Web apps in the full ability sense. You can build interactive maps with the google API, web apps as the source of data, using the address lat and long or geo location ability etc But its not something you can do really Muse on its own.

Help submitting my form - Code and results included *Please help*

So I have a form that gets filled out on my website theres 3
drag down menu options and about 15 or so fill in the blank boxes.
And I only obtain 5 of the answers, and the answers I receive
via e-mail arent even the answers Ive submitted. Ex: if I were to
put in a phone number I would get an alphabetical answer of "e"
And here are the results of the sent form which I receive via
e-mail.
I'm using Godaddy and Dreamweaver 8
Answers = Estimated_Credit_Score: e
Loan_Purpose: b
Property_Type: d
mytextbox: never
send: Submit Questionnaire

Bmwheel98 ,
Revisit each textbox by selecting it, then in the properties
window (design or split view) under the textField (on the left)
you'll see a textbox with the value of mytextbox in it, change this
to a unique name for each textbox you have on your form. Just like
you did for the List/Menus.
Code View Example:
use something like this...
Value of Home</span><span id="textbox"
style="float:right;"><input name="homeValue" type=text
id="homeValue">
not this...
Value of Home</span><span id="textbox"
style="float:right;"><input name="mytextbox" type=text
id="mytextbox">
Also, if you're using Windows hosting you can do a form
mailer with CDO on an asp page see here:
http://www.patio-de-recreo.com/doug/2005_May/cdo_mail_object.asp
This is what I use with GD and you can manipulate the form to
html so it's cleaner looking and easier to read. Works like a
charm. I also read somehwere that GD processes forms and mails them
once an hour, the CDO solution is pretty much instantly, if time is
a factor and the previous statement is accurate.
Hope this helped.

HELP! Trouble with Google in Phone.

I tried going to google on my iphone today but it gave me this error:
"Reference Error - cant find gpinisearch". I really want to use internet while im away from my house. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

That's odd. I suspect it is an issue with the iPhone configured Google page. You could have a page cache problem on the iPhone with that specific page. Only way I know to get rid of something like that is to do a full "new phone" restore (not a backup restore). This erases everything and let's you start out fresh again.
There's a free Google App in the App Store. Check it out. It allows you to speak your search phrase into the phone and it'll find what you said. No typing required and it works quite well.

Help preparing site for google search

Hello. I'm not sure if anyone will be able to help me or if I will have to contact google but I am trying to figure out how to prepare my site for Google Search. Right now my site does appear in the search results but not how I would like it to. In the screenshot below my site is The Official Website of Fab Hollie. I do not want the "About" and the "Contact Us" pages to show up as they are child pages and not parent pages. Is there anything I can do in Muse to prevent this or is it a google thing?
I know this is probably a google thing but I would like my search result to display with sitelinks like the example below. I'm new to the whole google webmaster thing so I'm not sure if there is a way I can prepare my site for this in Muse?
Thanks

Hi,
This will be done by Google, Try to use demote sitelink option in Google Webmaster, and see if that helps
