I cannot view my Sitemap file. What’s wrong?

There are two reasons why you may not be able to view your Sitemap file:
  • Sitemap feature not enabled: If you have not enabled the Sitemap feature and published your Order Settings, you will see an error message stating "This store does not allow sitemap file to be generated". If you see this message, you should enable the sitemap feature and publish your Order Settings from the link on the Store Manager in the Order Settings column.
  • Store Editor not published: If you try to view the sitemap.xml file and you see a message stating that the file cannot be found, then the Store Editor was not published to generate the Sitemap file. Go to the Store Editor from the Store Manager and publish by clicking the Publish button in the Editor toolbar.

Can I edit my Sitemap file?

No. The Sitemap file is created automatically by Yahoo! when enabled and cannot be edited. You can indicate to search engines pages you do not wish to be indexed.

Is my Sitemap file once enabled automatically submitted to search engines?

No. Once the feature is enabled and you publish the Store Editor and your Order Settings, your Sitemap file will be created, making the file available to search engine crawlers. You can submit your Sitemap file to search engines (such as Google and Yahoo!) for inclusion.

Will Yahoo! automatically create a Sitemap file for my site?

No. You must first enable the Sitemap feature on the Search Engines page. After enabling the Sitemap feature, Yahoo! will automatically generate a Sitemap file each time you publish the Store Editor.
