      Uploaded a Geo-sitemap last week and made sitemap_index.xml that includes the geo & normal sitemap.

      Google Webmaster tools shows a warning for the geo sitemap, telling me that the geo tag isn't supported. This is how the xml looks like:

      <urlset<span class="webkit-html-attribute"> xmlns="http://www.sitemaps.org/schemas/sitemap/0.9"</urlset<span> xmlns:geo="http://www.google.com/geo/schemas/sitemap/1.0">http://www.mysite.com/locations.kmlgeo:format</geo:format>kmlSomebody, anybody knows the fix?

        This issue has been reported to google, many times in the past 3-4 weeks, but they have not responded, as far as I know.

        I also have to ask the obvious question

        Is that hard linebreak after http: in the real file or is that only for displaying it here?

          Thx for your response, the line break is only for displaying it here...

          • I understand that in addition to video sitemaps, a transcription of a video, if presented properly will help google and may help SEO. I cannot find information on the basics to add transcription properly to a page. Advice or direction appreciated.
