What is your thinking about Yahoo xml sitemaps?

[stephanie00]

While Yahoo xml sitemaps are supposed to be different from Google xml sitemaps, I have heard a lot about the Yahoo xml sitemaps. Do you think that this is true? Is there any difference between these xml sitemaps according to you? I have experienced different results from having the same sitemap in case of Google and Yahoo where one has accepted it well and the other hasn’t at all. I am not sure if I was right in my observation as it is a complicated area. Do you know what can be done in this particular scenario? Can someone help?

xml sitemaps format was pioneered by Google first and they are the one who introduced this concept in the market, therefore it is also known as Google site maps. There is no real difference between Google xml and Yahoo xml site maps.
