Google is giving me this error...

Notice the // before the sitemap_1

Where did I mess up?

FIXED:::: Had a / on the end of my hompage url in vb settings

zane99,

the submission date in google webmaster account is the date when you manually submitted it last time.

Mecho,

you should only submit xml sitemaps to Google.

so i should remove sitemap.txt.gz from my sitemaps , right ??

and also u said just submit XML Files . ok , but when i browse this file : Mysite/sitemap_1.xml or Mysite/sitemap_2.xml

i get file not found but if i add .gz at the end of them i see file . and at the top this message shows up:

and under it its a coded file with links and .... .


now i have these files in my google account :
sitemap_1.xml.gz => 49999 urls
sitemap_2.xml.gz => 77 urls
sitemap_index.xml.gz => 49999 urls

is it correct ?

and also now i checked everything and i saw that when i browse those files i get this error : !!
i delete DATA File and reupload it again and set 777 for permission . and seems its ok .. i did right ??

Thanks in advance .

This file is for Yahoo submission.
You should set permissions for downloads.dat file to 0666.

Thanks for reply ...

when i want to change permissions for download.dat file to 666 i get this error :
!

Thanks in advance


Edit : resolved .. Thanks alot for all ur help

I have vBSEO 3.0.0 RC6, but yet when I click on "Show SE Bots Activity Log", no log shows up. Do I need to change a certain setting in vBSEO? I know the sitemaps are generated, and they are submitted. I would like to see bot activity though...any ideas?

chopin2256,

make sure that you have logging option enabled in vbseocp.

Yup...I just installed this mod though, maybe it takes a few days to kick in? My forum gets spidered constantly so I didn't think this would be the problem.

Thanks both of you!

chopin2256,

yes, it may take a little while depending on spiders activity.
