Does it matter what it looks like?
« on: June 12, 2011, 10:17:11 PM »
I've just generated my first xml sitemap for my first website. Below is a portion of what the page looks like . . . nothing like the nice list of links on XML-Sitemaps.com. At this point in time, I don't care what it looks like as long as it will work for search engines . . . will it work for search engines?

  <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
- <urlset xmlns="[ External links are visible to forum administrators only ]" xmlns:xsi="[ External links are visible to forum administrators only ]" xsi:schemaLocation="[ External links are visible to forum administrators only ] [ External links are visible to forum administrators only ]">
