This doesnt make sense.

I am getting the following error that doesn't allow a single link to
work in every line of my one of my site's sitemap (the others seem to
be working fine, and I use the same script):

The error message doesn't even make sense, because it is telling me
that I am missing the www and then showing my link right next to it
that actually HAS the www.

Copied and pasted the two first errors from the actual sitemap error
details page (I changed my sites name for mysite.com):

The sitemap must be including urls on a different domain or in a
different canonical form or at a level that's higher in the
arborescence of the site  than the locaiton of the sitemap.

Can't say without real url.

Hi webado,

Here is the actual sitemap ( I added the # character in the URL):
http://www.p#rofessiongenie.com/sitemap.xml

Thanks

I've looked at four posts about sitemap problems in the last hour or
so and every one has been using this GSS stylesheet to make them human-
readable.

a) I can't for the life of me see why.

b) It's the common factor.

Answer looks simple.

The gss.xsl file would not be a problem. That's ignored by robots.

I don't see any problem with the sitemap.

But I see you have pages devoid of content like:
http://www.professiongenie.com/profession/law-professional

And then you claim the change frequency is hourly. Not that thsi would
be the problem now, but once the sitenap is accepted then it will be a
problem.

Did you submit the site as www ? if you did not then the sitemap is
incorrect because it contains all urls as www.

Like so many sitemaps, this one simply isn't tellingthe truth and the
site woiuld be bette off without it.

Hi everyone

I have just a few late-night comments to make, perhaps it can help
clear up some questions :-)

Faunapolis, could you check to see if you submitted the sitemap file
with the wrong version of the domain (as webado mentioned)? If that
was the case, you may also want to set your preferred domain setting -
it also safeguards against accidentally doing that.

The gss.xsl file is just a standard XML stylesheet used to display the
XML file in a browser (small disclaimer: I helped to make it and the
sitemap generator I made also uses it by default). These stylesheets
as well as other namespaces are ignored by our sitemap infrastructure
(as they should be by any code that reads these XML files). However,
when everything else does not seem to help, sometimes it makes sense
to reduce things to a minimum and see how that works.

Phil, you're right - the quality of metadata within a sitemap file is
sometimes problematic. If you are not sure what data to provide in a
sitemap file, it's usually best to just provide the information that
you are fairly sure about and just leave the rest out. That said,
providing "incorrect" metadata generally won't work against your site,
but it won't really help either :-).
