Thank you for this awesome hack

installed

Another q: do we need this if we have vBSEO (is it included there?) or is this a addon to vBSEO as well as it is a standalone feature to non vBSEO users?

You need to have this vBSEO sitemap program in addition to the vBSEO rewrites.

vBSEO does the rewrites, the sitemap tells Google/Yahoo about those rewritten url's, and keeps the SE's updated with new url's.

What impact will this have on my current Yahoo/Google directory listing? My site is indexed as www.xxxxxxx.com, and I have CMPS providing the homepage index in the root folder.

The script seems to point to my /forum folder, will this cause Google or Yahoo to ignore my CMPS index in the root and start ranking other pages about the root?

What are people's experiences with this sort of configuration and what advice can you lend?

Thanks!

Just a question: Does anyone of you guys has problems with unusual memory allocation and not freeing the used memory, so that the script is terminating as memory limit is reached? With the up-to-date versions...? :banana:

helo....we are using it...
but we are a bit confused that.....
sitemap gen..points to .php & url-rewriter rewrite to .html
does that create any problem??

Trana,

google sitemap submission should not affect indexing/crawling state of pages which are not included in sitemap. You will find more details here: https://www.google.com/webmasters/si...cs/en/faq.html


KarateKid,

we have no known issues with memory allocation in the recent version of vBSEO Sitemap Generator (except of your case, of course - and we will follow up with it :) )
If someone else have the same problem, please let us know.


Zia,
if you are using vBSEO, you just need to turn on "vBSEO Installed" option for Sitemap Generator. It will create URLs accordingly.
With "vBSEO Installed" option turned off, original (dynamic) vB URLs are added to sitemap.

helo....hope u wont mind to xplain

we are not using Vbseo(vbseo.com)

we Used vbranking,after using it 2 days we uninstall it cause..after posting..it take 3-4min to display the thread..sometime it causes automerged..

now we are thinking to use vrewrite.that will convert all the url to *.html .

After install vrewrite
hack Google Site Map Generator will face any problem? or it will generate site map with url as *.html ??

can u suggest which re-write will work nice amoung vrewrite,Dcurl re-writer ?
and some other site map generator are found for other search engine
like www.rorweb.com also have ror-sitemap generator.

does bot sitemap generator create any problem or any conflict?


thankx.

My suggestion is to have a good read of the threads about each rewrite product and then make up your mind. In my opinion there is only one that is fully developed and stable, and fast.

With sitemaps, I recommend that you use one that is created via the database, rather than by spidering your site. There are many url's in a forum, not all of which you want or need ranked by the search engines. You will have a lot cleaner sitemap if it is generated from the database.

I double-check and could not download file named sitemap_1.xml.gz which placed in forums/vbseo_sitemap/data/. I don't know why???

One stupid question:
What is char. I can put in to field named Direct Script Execution Code?

Sorry, I'm a n00b
