I have just set up my first website using a 000.webhost's Web Builder and have been trying to set up a sitemap which is Google friendly but Google tells me that there are errors "Unsupported format".

I have tried creating a sitemap in two different ways
i. using web builder's module
ii. using xmlsitemaps.com which is supposed to be in google format.

I have looked up on google to try and work out where I have gone wrong, but have not been able to resolve the 'unsupported format' problem (probably due my limited web knowledge) and would appreciate anyone's help with this.

Kind regards,

Us e this web-site to create what Google likes:

I'm having the same the problem . I've been trying to submit a sitemap since March but can't get it to work.

[yeleyko]

that's strange.
cause it's easy.
create sitemap with .xml extension, upload it to your site viat FTP and then submit through Google Webmaster panel.

Just use a site map generator and upload the file. easy as 1, 2, 3...

I had the same problem first time I was adding sitemap and I forgot how I did it and now I have to do it again and having same problem. Think the problem is in which directory to upload the sitemap (root, index, public). If somebody knows...Help!

I upload sitemap in xml and in txt format in root directory and google say: Sitemap is HTML! It looks like your sitemap is HTML page...

Have you tried adding it in Webmaster Tools?
