Hi Sourabh,

What is the file name you used for your site map?

The site map needs to be in a .xml format not html.

You can only submit XML sitemap in Google Webmaster. Please Recheck!

Hello Sourabh

Google Webmaster does not support HTML sitemap. It supports on XML sitemap. Create it with sitemap creators, and then upload it onto the root folder. Finally, submit the XML sitemap to GWT, and you're done.

Hope it helps

Cheers

We can submit only xml sitemap in google webmaster tools. Check again there is no any option for xml sitemap.

Here is an xml sitemap auto generator that I usually use: http://www.xml-sitemaps.com/
