I am having trouble with submitting my Google News sitemap, I am getting the error, "
Unexpected
publication name
The publication name specified in your Sitemap
does not match the publication name we have for your site in our
database. Please check that the publication name in your Sitemap exactly
matches the publication name displayed for your articles in Google
News."
My Google News sitemap URL is: http://popcultnews/com/google-news-sitemap.xml My normal sitemap URL is: http://popcultnews.com/sitemap.xml
Please help me get back into the index for Google News results.
Alright, sorry I didn't mean you in particular, didn't mean to rush.
I am seeing one of our more current articles showing up now, I don't see any new errors in my crawl issues. Hopefully this problem is solved, I will wait a while to see if my new stories get picked up. Thanks.
Okay, it has been 22 hours since my last story was crawled. I checked my web crawl errors and found these three errors for March 10th. http://popcultnews.com/tag/02-arena/othersites-1.php

pages Mar 10, 2010 I am a little confused, the othersites- extensions were from some kind of link exchange program I signed up with. I have deleted that account and as far as I know removed all the links and code they requested me to insert. Other than that, no errors, but still not seeing any new stories in Google. Also, out of the 3 sitemaps I have submitted, only 1 link has been indexed which was from popcultnews.com/feed
Okay, I read rurth's inquiry about fragmented articles, I still have no clue why these errors would be coming up. Is there a way I can see which sitemap the error came from? I'm assuming sitemap-news.xml (My Google News sitemap) I looked through the body of my articles, there are absolutely no <br> tags in either article body.. I do have a youtube video posted, and I use the "More" feature in wordpress which displays an exert of the article on the homepage, and the whole article when you click the single page.
I am going to continue to look for what I'm doing wrong, maybe I am overlooking it. But if anyone can assist me in trying to solve this problem it would be much appreciated, thanks.
Also, if it would make it easier to view any code of mine, please let me know what you'd like to see. I'll be more than happy to provide anything to help you help me :)
Hi, I have made some adjustments to follow the requirements listed as close as I could. I am hoping this will clear up the confusion between Google News' crawlers and PopCultNews.com. If not the only other option I can think of is that our news articles are just too short in general and possibly require more paragraphs to get recognized. If you have any info that could help me with my problem I am open for recommendations and will even compensate via paypal for your help. Thx.
