So just like everyone else we have to have a sitemap for our site. We have over 235K URLs and have to have some way for old miss Google to find them all. We are experimenting with different sitemaps configurations to get the best results. This has turned into a process, rather than a point and click submit as it should have been.
Honing down our Sitemap is a crucial part of our marketing and finding out the best optimization for it is a large part of our success. So not to worried about the map and getting it done, but frustrated that Google is such a machine.

Time is a real frustration with this process. It takes about 24hrs to have Google say “Yeah” or “Nay” to your sitemap. Then you get to go back and try it again, and hope that your getting it just right. This is a simple task for most companies, however due to our structure it is a little more complicated with our URL structure.

The other frustration is durring this time we are losing valueable marketing and eyeballs of car owners across the nation. So a doubble frustration for us right now.
