For creating Google sitemaps for my websites I use the generator located at the Mypagerank site: http://www.mypagerank.net/google_sitemap_creator.html, and the one at the XML Sitemaps: http://www.xml-sitemaps.com.
However, since both generate a “sitemap.xml” file that is not valid (mostly it was incorrect syntax in the XML header) when processed with Google Sitemap Validator: http://www.validome.org/google, I need to “merge” them together to be valid in the end, i.e. I use some of the syntax from the “sitemap.xml” file generated on one site and some of the syntax from “sitemap.xml” file generated on the other site.
Incorrect syntax 1:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<urlset xmlns="http://www.google.com/schemas/sitemap/0.84">
<url>Incorrect syntax 2:
<?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"
xsi:schemaLocation="
http://www.sitemaps.org/schemas/sitemap/0.9
http://www.sitemaps.org/schemas/sitemap/09/sitemap.xsd">
<url>The correct syntax:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<urlset
xmlns="http://www.google.com/schemas/sitemap/0.84"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.google.com/schemas/sitemap/0.84 http://www.google.com/schemas/sitemap/0.84/sitemap.xsd">
