Right now I’m having a real hard time with google accepting my sitemap and I was hoping you could help me out?

On other websites I’ve used the google xml sitemap generator plugin (for wordpress) and never had a problem with the sitemap being confirmed. However on this new blog (address in the website area) I’ve been told robots.txt has restricted access, or else no reason is provided, just a big red X after I submitted it (which is anooying as all get out ). What’s really funky is that I’ve tested the sitemaps and they all pass the online tests.

Also I have no robots.txt disallows, but in the hopes of resolving I even tried adding a robots.txt file. I’ve also disabled and uninstalled the google sitemap plugin and tried your suggestion. Still the same result.

Bro I would so appreciate it if you could point me in the direction of a solution here. It’s really driving me batty. You can email me if you’d rather to save space in your comments. Thanks in advance

I doubt your self-assessment. More likely, the directions are in need of improvement.

Feel free to give me a description of where you are having trouble using the comments here on the blog – which would be helpful to other readers, as well, I’m sure – or give me a call at 800-209-2919 (absolutely no obligation) – or send an email to McBuzz using the link in the address at the top of the page explaining where you are getting hung up.

We’ll have things straightened out in no time.

The good news is, if you google site:www.kingcountyresidential.com , most of the pages in your site are indexed. Still, it would be a good idea to get all of them indexed, and submitting an xml sitemap is the way to do it. So don’t give up!

Also, the kingcountyresidential.com site would benefit from some simple search engine optimization techniques. Here’s a PDF of an issue of Dynamic Business magazine with an article I wrote called “Achieving Basic Web Site Success May Be Easier Than You Think”: http://www.smc.org/Pdfs/DB-Pdfs/September06Reduced.pdf

The article is on page 20 of the actual publication (page 26 if you are looking at the thumbnail numbers in Acrobat Reader).
