Google Problem Accessing Sitemap

Submitted by roboter on Sat, 2011-02-26 15:19 in

I've three PT sites, two of which register fine on Google. The third throws up an error
"We encountered an error while trying to access your Sitemap. Please ensure your Sitemap follows our guidelines and can be accessed at the location you provided and then resubmit."

I click the sitemap.php link, and the response looks fine, the data feeds are listed. I've deleted and rebuilt. Any ideas?

Hi,

That sounds like a more general access error than a parsing error (which is described differently by Google). It's possible that there could have been a transient network error between Google and your site at the time it was requested - check that your site is online as normal and then delete and re-submit the sitemap for that site is the first thing i'd try...

Cheers,
David.
