Hey,

Installed and ran it for a few days, and have been keeping an eye on my WebMaster tools to see how effective this is. I just see a major difference between total urls and Indexed urls:

Format URLs in Sitemap Submitted Downloaded
Sitemap Index Total: 791, Indexed: 19

Sep 15, 2009 ? Resubmit Sep 15, 2009
Sitemap errors and warnings


Could anyone explain the difference between the two? How can I get more indexed urls of the total amount?

I still have to update my robots etc, and do some other standard seo tweaking, but was just curious about the huge difference between these two.

Thanks in advance :)

A client of mine has developed an interesting situation that I can't figure out.

If I go under vBSEO Sitemap Reports, and run the generator I get this...
But if I go under the Scheduled Tasks and run it, it goes through just fine, even sending me the confirmation email.

Everything was working just fine, for about 13 days, then during the scheduled task it would cause an error. Then it worked for one day after, then errors out again.

I have uninstalled the xml file and reinstalled, overwriting... no help.
I reuploaded and overrode the install files... no help.

I've turned off all the other mods and hacks... no help.

I'm really confused on this one.

Hi guys,

are there any codes to be inserted in .htaccess in order to try to have html link in the sitemaps?

Thanks in advance

its not working for me

whenever i click on run sitemap generator

its gives me this error

any fix will be appreciated thanks

Either just keep running it (it will pick up where it left off), or increase your memory_limit.

how to increase memory_limit?

Increase your wait time between file making to 30, increase your total links per file to 40,000. Doing these *should* lower your memory usage. I am not a dev for this mod, so I could be wrong. These have helped me though.

Sitemap Settings -> Max URLs in Sitemap Files -> 40000
Sitemap Settings -> Delay Execution After Each Sitemap File -> 30

Also take a read on the following posts, because it looks to me like you are pushing entirely too much data to the engines (243 site files? Really?):

There is a problem introduced when you change your priorities to what Briansol has though (Sitemap will write the priorities wrong and mess up a tag within the sitemap causing google to get upset), so to avoid the issue I suggestion the following priorities (they meld with Briansol's, but avoid the issue that is introduced when using his priority settings):

Smart Frequency for Show Thread Pages: Yes
Priority Range - Show Post: 0.1-0.2
Priority Range - Member Profiles: 0.2-0.3
Priority Range - Forum Display: 0.6-0.7
Priority Range - Poll Results: 0.1-0.2
Priority Range - Show Thread: 0.9-1.0
Priority Range - Blog Entries: 0.2-0.3
Priority Range - Blog Tags: 0.2-0.3
Priority Range - Member Profile Albums: 0.2-0.3
Priority Range - Social Groups:0.3-0.4
Priority Range - Social Group Discussions: 0.3-0.4
Priority Range - Social Group Pictures: 0.3-0.4
Priority Range - Tags: 0.5-0.6
Smart Priority: Yes

Seriously, knock out a bunch of them links (most of which I'm sure are useless to you in terms of quality content in the eyes of the all seeing, all knowing Google) out of your sitemap and not only will you see a more efficient crawl from the spiders, but since they have an easier time crawling the most important stuff, they then will have more time to spread out within your site and consume the other bits and you'll quit overloading your server's memory :D.

@cloudrunner
