Based on my experience.. all pages will not appear. My sitemap contains over 14,000 URLS and Google has only indexed a little over 100 of them. This is with a couple weeks worth of crawling too.. and Google is indeed downloading my sitemap on a daily basis. YMMV.

Does seem to be making a change

When I add the htaccess file, I get this when trying to access my CP and the forum itself... :(

Any ideas? There was no htaccess file already there.

Ok, it's at the bottom of the install instructions (heart-attack averted).

Where is the httpd.ini file I have to edit? :confused:

You should have ISAPI_rewrite module for IIS installed for that. Otherwise you can move your sitemap files manually from vbseo_sitemap/data/ folder to forums root.

Is the module something I get from my host?

What are the sitemap files? Do I still have to edit/upload the htaccess file?

iojam, I don't think that's the problem. Two other people who use the sitemap generator are on the same host as I am and they received their emails daily.

Additionally, having been using this generator for a couple of years now, I was receiving the emails prior to upgrading to this latest version.

I've posted this on the vbseo site, so perhaps I'll get some help there.

Thanks!

thanks....

Umm.... that sorta sux... have you gotten a respone on how this can be improved...?? Or is it just too early...

cuz you have a success rate of less than 1%

I have over 200K threads in my forum... lucky i didn't ask to do the posts...

No idea. Probably has to do with (not using) SEO. Google likes to see words in links not just showthreadphp?=xxxx.

Google has reportedly indexed a little over 100 threads from my sitemap (these stats are contained in webmaster tools), but it has indexed hundreds of other pages on its own (based on http://www.google.com/search?q=site:[MY SITE URL HERE]). So I'm not sure how hit-or-miss this sitemap method is. I'm getting more traffic from Yahoo and Live bots though so at least that's a good thing.

Whats up everyone :D newbie here. first time install so be a little patient! I apologize to all you vets, these questions are gonna be SIMPLE to you.

1)Im learning as I go so, just to make sure before i go messing something up, when it says upload to 'forum root' folder, would it be this: public_html -> forums
(* I named the folder I put all of my vbulletin stuff in 'forums'*)

I uploaded it in the 'forums' folder, did the htaccess file and everything seems fine. Im on the final step where Im creating a scheduled task. At the very bottom it says 'product' and has options for vBSEO or Vbulletin. I havent purchased the $149 vBSEO program so I would go with vbulletin right?
