A URL in your data feed is not well-formatted or contains invalid characters. There are several common reasons why you might receive this error:
- Your URLs contain spaces or symbols
Our system won't be able to process URLs containing spaces or certain symbols. Replace any spaces with the appropriate URL encoded entities. For example, you should use:
For spaces:
http://www.example.com/space%20here.html
For symbols such as "&":
http://www.example.com/and%26here.html - Your URLs contain backslashes
Our system won't be able to process URLs containing backslashes (\). Make sure your URLs only contain forward slashes (/). - Your feed contains relative URLs
Make sure your URLs begin with "http://" and include your domain name. We're unable to process feeds that only contain relative URLs. For example, you should use:
http://www.example.com/main.html
You shouldn't use any of the following forms:
/main.html
www.example.com/main.html
http:www.example.com/main.html
