Trying to Submit a Sitemap to Bing: What Does this Error Mean? -

Is Bing allowed sitemaps with images?

I am trimming to send my sitemap to Bing but, I found this error:

We were unable to add your Sitemap because: HTTP status code: 200 Seriousness: Error Line: 1292 Status: 12 Message: 'http: // www. Sitemaps.org/schemas/sitemap/0.9:loc 'element is invalid - value' 'is invalid according to its datatype' http://www.sitemaps.org/schemas/sitemap/0.9:tLoc '- The actual length is Min Lang Less than value. Seriousness: Error Line: 1596 Status: 6 Messages: Name of element 'Image' in namespace 'http://www.sitemaps.org/schemas/sitemap-image/1.1' Invalid child element 'geo_location' is in the namespace http : /www.sitemaps.org/schemas/sitemap-image/1.1 ' List of expected potential elements: 'license' in namespace 'http://www.sitemaps.org/schemas/sitemap-image/1.1'

What does this error mean?

My sitemap.xml is in this format; I've cut it into a page example:

   & Lt; Image: Image & gt; & Lt; Image: loc & gt; Http: //www.mysite.com/images/theplace.jpg< / Image: loc & gt; & Lt; Image: Caption & gt; This place is & lt; / Image: Captions & gt; & Lt; Image: geo_location & gt; Place, state & lt; / Image: geo_location & gt; & Lt; /: Picture & gt; & Lt; / URL & gt; & Lt; / Urlset & gt;  

Thanks.

This is Google's only search engine that supports image sitemap Does. Other search engines can successfully parse these Sitemaps, but they can potentially ignore Tag related to image sitemap extensions.

Note that there is an error in your example, and it is possible that this is what Bing is. Image schema center is located on

, you need to change the following bit:

  xmlns: image = "http://www.sitemaps.org/ schema / With sitemap-image / 1.1 " 

  xmlns: image =" http://www.google.com/schemas/sitemap-image/ 1.1 "
