    The sitemap needs to be XML that's formatted in particular way. This is something you can learn by googling it.

    Why don't you ask the SEO guys in your company? I'm sure they can do a few clicks on their tool of choice, and you've got the problem solved almost instantly.

    Links in signature will not help your SEO. Not on this site, and not on any other forum.
    Who told me this? An ex Google web spam engineer.

    What's your excuse?

    As others have mentioned, your sitemap needs to be XML format and not HTML.

    You can use this website to try and convert your HTML sitemap into an XML sitemap automatically.

    Make sure you are trying to create a real HTML sitemap (consists of just a bunch of links and nothing else ) and not the normal webpage.

    It's always better to use a XML sitemap or a simple text file that has links to various sections or pages on your website.

      My pet peeve. The blind asking the blind. The blind answering the blind.
      The blind leading the blind.

      Last week I couldn't even spell "SEO," and now I is an expert!

      Of course people will slam me when I tell them it's because any fool
      can buy a domain, get WP installed, read some guru, then *boom*
      SEO expert and webmaster all in one shot.

      As proven by the sig. Not only is this um...person, an seo expert, he
      develops websites.

      That my friends, is downright scary.

        So true. I've been fooled by SEO and PPC "pros" in the past and that's why I am so hesitant finding a website developer now that I need one.
