How long does it take to run the sitemap generator? I tried running it and it just sits there for like 10 mins+. Never ends. I closed the window.

Help?

Kihon Kata,

it depends on how many URLs do you have on your forums. Did you get any sitemap files created in vbseo_sitemap/data/ folder?

How come in Google the number of "Indexed URLs" keeps declining, even though the number of URL's in my sitemap grows every day? Aren't the 'indexed URLs' supposed to be increasing?!

because a sitemap is only a guide to show google that the pages are there , google will only index pages its thinks are relevant or that have backlinks to that page, you need to look at your on site seo and internal linking to help your site get more indexed pages imo

for the google webmaster tools(sitemap submission), i should submit
mydomain/sitemap_index.xml.gz

or
mydomain/sitemap_1.xml.gz &
mydomain/sitemap_2.xml.gz

instead?

thank you:)

Just sitemap_index.xml.gz.

my sitemap is showing "
This XML file does not appear to have any style information associated with it. The document tree is shown below.
"

is this normal?

and no showing with IE

thank you :)

Yes, that's normal - sitemaps don't need a stylesheet.

I manually run the sitemap generator from the vbseo_sitemap panel and it says

[SECTION START] tags [8,993.9Kb mem used] [206,838s (+24,781s)]

and waiting so nothing happens.

what should I do?

I've installed vbseo since a long.
I've uploaded all the files and imported product and added password as mentioned in instructions.

I've submitted sitemaps to google now and status is pending ..Now what to do?anything else i need to do?
how to submit to other se like yahoo,live search or it'll be automatically submitted?

help please?

when i run sitemap generator it appears to work, and indeed it shows up beautifully in the sitemap generator history.

but when i click on the google sitemap index url it says:

Quote:

This page contains the following errors:

error on line 1 at column 1: Document is empty
Below is a rendering of the page up to the first error.

and an empty page....?

my site is very small still still, we've only been going a few days, but i know it's not totally empty!

What is your sitemap URL?

It takes a bit for Google to process sitemap.
You can submit it to Yahoo here: https://siteexplorer.search.yahoo.com/mysites

thanks very much. i got an answer too via vbseo and it seems it's a compatability error with chrome. just fyi in case anyone else experiences the same thing.

thanks for the yahoo link.

I kept getting the 404 error and did not get any help and gave up on this product for the last couple of months. I decided to try again yesterday and through lots of reading and trial and error, I got it worked out. If anyone else is getting the 404 error, try adding this to the .htaccess in the forum root:

Code:

RewriteBase /forum

Obviously you'll need to change forum to reflect your forum root.

I'm not sure why I didn't get any support but I'm glad I got it figured out.

My forum is part of a larger website. Can (or will) the sitemap generator create a map for the entire site or just the forum (in the forum subdirectory)?

If its just for the forum, is there a solution for the entire site?

Thanks

do u need a vbseo program to run this hack.?

sorry for the dumb question.,..im not very good on seo..

No, this is a separate mod and can be used without vBSEO (although it's recommended to have both installed).

OK, thanks for the tip. One more question - I'm not sure if you'll be able to answer, because it's probably more a question for Google staff.

I have a Google webmaster's account, and for some reason, it shows my sitemap as containing over 2,000 URL's (which is accurate) but there are less than 800 'indexed' URL's. Why is this? Does Google just take a while to index the others, or will they never be indexed? How does it decide which pages in the sitemap are indexed, and why are they not all indexed?

I know, a lot of questions, and like I said, I don't know if you're going to have answers for me.

The number of indexed links v. the number of links in the sitemap will not converse (for large boards) when the update frequencies are set incorrectly, see this post:

Google Sitemap Update Frequency and Sitemap Stats

cool..thank you.

Hi

Is there anyway to break up the url lists into different files? For some reason Google isn't accepting them all in 1 file.

Thanks

How do I remove all entries from the logs. I have over 400 pages worth and it seems to strain the server.

danh111,

you should submit sitemap.xml to Google, not urllist.txt

TheInsaneManiac,

you can manually remove all files from vbseo_sitemap/data/ folder.

Ahh thank you.

I've tried running the sitemap generator but get the following.

I just fixed my problem. I didn't have the VBSEO plugin installed correctly so now it's working fine. :)

Thanks, looks very good. Installed

This may seem like a silly question but during installation you have to set the data folder to CMOD 777.

Are we supposed to leave this at CMOD 777 or change it back to 755?

It should be left set to 0777.

what is the sitemap url to view reports?

update for vb 4.0?
Thx.

The 4.0 compatible version is currently in pre-release status, but can be downloaded by any vBSEO customer at the vBSEO.com Downloads section.

I installed this and it is working perfect, except the reports show that "Moreover" FAILED.

Is that something I did wrong or is it the website "moreover"?

Other than that everything works perfect.

Hello,

moreover has stopped their ping service, it will be removed in the next version of vBSEO sitemap generator.
