I created a sitemap.xml file and ftp'd it to my portals root folder. It exists at www.mydomain.com/portals/2/sitemap.xml. Then I use Google's webmaster tools to submit my sitemap, by pasting the URL listed above. Google doesn't like this address and want's it to be www.mydomain.com/sitemap.xml.

My question is what is the best approach for submitting sitemaps to google, escpecially if you have child or multiple parent portals?

Thx!

I haven't yet upgraded to 4.5.x, so can't talk about the new sitemap stuff. But, I do have my DNN site (4.4.1) in a sub-folder and am using the BTB module. My solution is to use a sitemapindex.xml file pointing google, et al, to the BTB sitemap file, as below:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<sitemapindex xmlns="http://www.sitemaps.org/schemas/sitemap/0.9">
   <sitemap>
      <loc>http://www.valintus.com/dnnprod/btbgooglesitemap.axd</loc>
   </sitemap>
</sitemapindex>

Seems to work OK.

in Dnn 4.5.1 it is mydomain,com/sitemap.aspx

if you open it you should get a list of all the pages the current user as permission to view. so when google accesses the link it will only get the publicly available pages.
