INTERNET MARKETING

Just created my first website and went to Google webmaster tools to check on my sitemap index and nothing was listed. I do have Google sitemap activated in my WordPress theme.

orangecountyveintreatment.com

Any help would be much appreciated,
Jeff

You indeed have the sitemap http://orangecountyveintreatment.com/sitemap.xml.
Make sure you have submitted it to Google Webmaster Tools.

It's not instant, nice looking site though.

This may sound like a dumb question,
did you verify your site?
I don't see it in your source code, course maybe you put a file in your directory.
If so, when did you it?

You need a little more info, there are a lot of variables.

  Google has indexed a couple of your pages:
  
  siterangecountyveintreatment.com - Google Search
  
  And they're right - You need to upload a "sitemap.xml" to your main directory.
  
  Or at least install this plugin since you're using Wordpress:
  
  WordPress › Google XML Sitemaps « WordPress Plugins
  
  Site looks good!
  
  CHEERS!
  
  Thanks

  Thanks Scott... I installed the plugin when the site was created. I will check my main directory for sitemap.xml.
  
  This is like learning a foreign language only easier.

  You need to log into your WP control panel and go to Settings and click on the Google Sitemap thingy. The preset is NOT the main directory.
  
  Where do you want to store your XML file ?
  A: In my website's Root Folder.
  
  Your XML absolute URL: (should show up like
  http://mysite.com/sitmap.xml
