google sitemap help???

Can someone help me what is the procedure to submit the google sitemap in webmaster tolls . I was tried but nothing. Google give me a error
"We encountered an error while trying to access your Sitemap. Please ensure your Sitemap follows our guidelines and can be accessed at the location you provided and then resubmit."

Did I need to make a page in CMSDesk with aspx template direct to ~/CMSPages/GoogleSiteMap.aspx?
or
I need in CMSSiteMAnager > Settings > SEO and URL > Google sitemap URL to put some xml file
or
I need to create soem xml file out of Kentico and to put this file in the root of Web site

RE:google sitemap help???

I am confused about one thing. In the Site Manager I got to Settings>URL and SEO>global dropdown. In the field 'Google Sitemap URL' I have put sitemap.xml and saved. I browse to http://<siteURL>/sitemap.xml and I get a 404 error. The sitemap is not being indexed by Google.
I browse to http://<siteURL>/cmspages/googlesitemap.aspx and I get the sitemap. I submit this URL to Google and have success with it indexing.
What i am confused about is what is the purpose of editing this field. It doesn't seem to do anything.
Did I miss something?

RE:google sitemap help???

I also found another problem with one of the sites that was indexing. I don't know if this is related to the google sitemap or some other configuration. This is on a site running version 5.0.
The sitemap link http://s7mediadesign.com/sitemap.xml worked in this version.

At any rate,
I have a blog at http://s7mediadesign.com/S7-Blog.aspx
I have a lot of crawl errors being reported with URLs like this:

http://s7mediadesign.com/Blogs/My-blog-1.aspx?tagname=xml&groupid=0

When I check to see what pages are linking to these I get results like this:
http://s7mediadesign.com/S7-Blog/April-2010/Smithville-Music-Festival-Site-wins-Kentico-Contes.aspx

So it looks like the posts in my blog are somehow linking to non-existant pages or URLs but I don't know through what mechanism this is happening. I think it may be related to tags. I don't know where it get the My-blog-1.
I also have never been able to get this blog to show up in the navigation. I never had this problem on other Kentico blogs. I have been over the settings with support and we have yet to find out what is going on.

RE:google sitemap help???

Hi,

The first problem - with .aspx working and .xml not -- this is most probably problem with friendly url extensions, please check your configuration according to this (and related) article and optionally make necessary changes to allow custom extensions.

Second problem must start somewhere in the Blog transformation... could you please check the transformation code where "Filed under:" is rendered? What paths / expressions are used there for the links?

Regards,
Zdenek
