Since yahoo! now uses google sitemaps, will there be an update to this since urllist.txt is no longer necessary?

I did mine by hand.

Thanks

ok i have installed this on my forum and everything is going well... ive submitted the following sitemap urls into yahoo.

/forum/sitemap_1.xml.gz new - -
/forum/sitemap_2.xml.gz new - -
/forum/sitemap_3.xml.gz new - -
/forum/sitemap_4.xml.gz new - -
/forum/sitemap_5.xml.gz new - -
/forum/sitemap_6.xml.gz new - -
/forum/sitemap_index.xml.gz

But i tried submitting www.mydomain.com/forum/sitemap_index.xml.gz into google but google does not recognise the .gz they only want me to submit something with "sitemap.xml" like so....., so what feed can i submit to google?

Thanks

noppid ,

yes, we will implement xml sitemap ping for Yahoo in the next build of vBSEO sitemap generator.

CP,,

Google supports gzip compression for sitemaps, what exactly is the error you get?

CP,

It could be that the error is really because you are submitting /forums/sitemap_index.xml.gz, when it is supposed to be www.domain.com/sitemap_index.xml.gz (has to be at he top level - the .htaccess file makes the file appear to be in root.)

This is not working for me on 3.6.4, I followed all previous post for 3.6.4....will this be made for 3.6.4 or should the version work?

i kept getting a 404 error when trying to submit it to google, after having moved it to my top level domain.

I had to remove the line from my htaccess file in order for it to stop giving me the 404 error.
Once i removed that line it worked fine.

could someone explain to me what that line was since i know nothing of htaccess files and regex.

Please read my post 2 above yours.. it is explained there. :)

i have installed this on my site but the only place i am seeing .gz files are at

forums/vbseo_sitemap/data/sitemap.txt.gz
forums/vbseo_sitemap/data/sitemap_1.xml.gz
forums/vbseo_sitemap/data/sitemap_index.xml.gz

why is this ? this should be unusual right ?? how do i get this into

www.domain.com/ or www.domain.com/forums/

i have my .htaccess in www.domain.com/forums/

bump please

The .htaccess file that you are required to place in /root/ is what 'tricks' google into thinking that the files ARE located in the root, where they HAVE to be for Google Sitemaps.

@brvheart - works 100% fine in 3.6.4.
