: Validating sitemap with Yahoo Explorer I have a sitemap index on my website, which I successfully validated with "Google webmasters tools". The declarations at the top are: <sitemapindex

I have a sitemap index on my website, which I successfully validated with "Google webmasters tools".
The declarations at the top are:

<sitemapindex xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.sitemaps.org/schemas/sitemap/0.9 www.sitemaps.org/schemas/sitemap/0.9/siteindex.xsd
xmlns="http://www.sitemaps.org/schemas/sitemap/0.9">

This index lists 2 sitemaps . One of them contains "images" tags after using the www.google.com/schemas/sitemap-image/1.1 schema declaration.

When submitting this sitemap index to Yahoo explorer, I get error:

ERROR: FF_30000 “Not an accepted feed format file. Please consult the documentaiton for supported file formats.”

Any ideas?

: H1 as an inline element If I use H1 as an inline element (since it fits the design better) will it be treated the same by the SE crawlers, or will it hurt its effectiveness? Thanks, Joel

It looks as if Yahoo and Bing do not yet support image sitemaps, which is why they are not validating in Yahoo's Site Explorer.

To avoid getting the validation error, you could place all of your image sitemaps in a second sitemap index, and only submit that to Google through it's Webmaster Tools. This should prevent you from receiving errors from any of the other search engines, and would still allow Google to utilize that sitemap for it's image search.
