    Hello, you appear to be runnign an out of date version of the sitemap generator. You should upgrade to 3.0 pl1.

    That said, yahoo has canceled their service since merging with Bing.

    Google ping: Successful.
    Bing ping: FAILED.
    Yahoo ping: FAILED.
    Ask ping: Successful.

    What I have to do to manage the issue?

    No you don't need to do anything. The issue is caused because Yahoo seems to stop their ping service

    Hello,

    Everything seems to be just fine. I wouldn't include tag pages in my sitemaps though, I rather would leave them accessible only.

    Andres, can you share a bit more about your comment?

    I wouldn't include tag pages in my sitemaps though, I rather would leave them accessible only.

    I've been a customer for years, but finally get around to learning about application. Would love to attend a Webinar or get some training... thx.
