    help, nothing is happening, looks like the site ask,com is busy, but can as be my mistake. Do i have to upload the xml file to web carpet? i copy pasted the generated sitemap to Word and saved it as word file with xml extension. Is it alright? The reason is i did that because when i downloaded the sitemap it was called sitemap.xml.hxtml something like that. so i thought may i nee
    d to rename it or create another file.

I notice that you seem to be fairly high in status within the search engines like google and for that I appluad you – it’s not easy these days aiming to rank internet pages or even indeed internet websites. Your website is worthy nevertheless and I can understand the reason why you’re ranked in such a elevated placement for your keyword phrases through this internet page.
