Your sitemap file looks valid, however, it doesn't contain all your URLs. Is that on purpose? It wouldn't make much sense, because the sitemap file is there to give Google all your URLs so that you can be sure he gets them all correct in the Search engine results... You can certainly submit it like that though (I'd rather do it with a full list of URLs though).
However, I would still strongly recommend that you clean up the pages first. I'm 90% certain that Google will not take the pages the way they are now.
Also, if you want your users to visit http://support.studio505.net then it would be best to also create the sitemap in and for that domain. Otherwise all your Google results will point to the http://www.studio505.net/nuke2/ directory as well.
Hope it helps
John

I have been playing with site map for a few weeks now.
I have found its best just give google links to what is relevant. If it hits to many links that are not relivant it seems to bog down and give up.
google doesnt need the search, your a/c, feedback , members list, recomend, weather.
U have filtered the links to forum sub index and forum threads/posts...I suggest that u put these back in.
I see u have taken out all the links to who posted news, reply to , new post, faq etc in the forums.
I have removed links to index page to members list/details, in user info, news, new members etc ...but veiwable when logged in.
Removing these and reducing the # of links is also good for seach engines.
Im trying to work out how to do this in forums, removing reply to, new post, posters details.
I have google tap installed. That also makes a big diff.

You are correct steptoe.. I don know the full calculation for google but I do know some of it.. I plan on fully digesting the calculation later.. but the "twenty percent" i know is the each page is a vote against the other page... phpnuke
is messy in way that the meta.php file generates the keywords for all the index.php pages... so each page results with key words that may not even be listed with on the page... this hurting the vote against the other vote...
Partial Calculation for google...
This page contents (example computer repair)
next page contents (example selling candles page)
next page contents (selling computer pieces)
keywords computer, repair, nashville, tn
okay the first page is crawled and the text, links, referals, all make a vote on all the relevancy...
the same fo the next
and then the same for the last...
Even though the business sell candles in its giftshop guess what... if it doent have good content makes a bad vote that is averaged against vote one and vote three...
when editing the robots.txt it you exclude the page but guess what?
the XML crawls a direct link to it so robots.txt will not have any effect...
so to keep that messy from from striking you would need to exclude...
*note- this is only a partial calculation that explains the main concept of the crawl... the full includes over 200 variables that the crawler seeks and adds up from the content on each page...
if you do computer repair, You can still sell candles, just keep in mind the action "behind the scene" if you want an example... I usually have a page rating of six on http://www.area51portal.com So for next 8 hours you have chance to go use a free google page rank calculator and see it dropped to 3, I just went in my robots.txt to give you an example and deleted the disallows for the gistshop page...
and yes there is candles in the giftshop page chicks dig em...

I in my web have a sitemap that was developed for truzone(comunidad nukeET in Spanish), which allows me to manipulate all the aspects of him once sitemap installs the addon in my phpnuke. (it paginates that it doesn't indexar.. etc)..
for if somebody wants to see it my site http://jhondoe.no-ip.org , the one which also this in my download if somebody wants to lower it and to prove
It generates the sitemap based on the addresses that go being visits for the users of our site, he also gives him the possibility to lower in a file. xml the sitemap.

If you want a flexible, dynamically generated sitemap (both HTML and Google), check out my nukeSEO addon. Instead of spidering your site, it generates the sitemap from the content in your database on the fly.
It also includes additional tools for search engine optimization.
