The SEO moz is showing an error on one of the sites within my SE Moz account campaign under Crawl Diagnostics: Title tag missing or empty. No problem here but the file associated with this issue is sitemap.xml and that just dose't look right as as far as I know xml files are title tag free.

I've searched around and i've  been able only to confirm my initial thought that sitemap.xml dose't use a title tag .. like any other xml.

is this an issue ? (the error that is) or i should let it slide.

can it be fixed ? if yes, how ?

Thanks !

I think this video from Matt Cutts can help with this issue: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jHSqLYUPq8w

In a nutshell: pipe is ok as a separator and it dosen't really matter if it's glued or with spaces but you should do it the way it's easier for the users to read - and that will be with spaces.

Hope it helps.

Hi,

Google's crawler is fetching the source code. if the content in the slider is visible in the source code - then the content is visible to google. There are a few "extra" factors related with the "real-estate" of the content that comes into play - but the bottom line is : if it's in the source code, the Google can see it.

Hope it helps.
