Code:
Step 3
=================================================================================

This step is to redirect human visitors to your actual threads.
When people do a Web/Google search and when they
click on the search result (note, Search Engine only index our archive
pages now), instead of taking the visitors to the plain archive pages.
The visitor will be taken to the actual forum threads!

This step involves change of code. There are number of places you need
to change. I have include the diff result between the final files and
original files. Two files involved are archive/global.php and archive/index.php

You can use the coloured diff: diff_for_modified_vb_files.zip
or use the plain old diff: diff_global.php.txt and diff_index.php.txt
(It will be appreciated if someone can write a step by step instruction
to change these two files):)

For the archive/global.php file. I added output compression to save
bandwidth. I have also got rid of the pda links.

Please post your questions to the thread and click Install.

I can honestly say that my opinion is reversed on the cloaking side of things. I do not recommend implementing step 3.
Yes, jagger could be the main cause.

It's just not worth the risk and there are better ways to do it anyway. My archive now works like a sitemap, so visitors and spiders are redirected to the actual threads with a legit redirect. This actually works pretty good as we can see, our pages in google did go from 600 to 15000 in a few weeks.

You can do this yourself or use vbseo like I did. It's not cheap though

for security purpose & instant of giving 777 for base vB directory,
you can upload an empty file to base vB directory (as sitemap.xml) with 666 ..

noob question, but is this hack exclusive to 3.5.1 or would this work in 3.5.0 too?

i got the same question..does it work with 3.5 gold?

lierduh 11-20-2005 10:44 PM
It works for 3.5.0 too.

poprulz 12-01-2005 01:32 PM
I got a problem here.
The forum url is domain.com/forums/
and archive domain.com/forums/archive/

I changed the directory such that the forums and archive is writable(#777). But when i call up the function in the browser...i get the following error... What might be the reason?

"The directory containing /usr/local/psa/home/vhosts/mallupride.com/httpdocs/forums/archive/forums_sitemap.php cannot be world writable. "

JCD 12-03-2005 02:06 PM
Could it be that spiders are no longer redirected to the archive when having upgraded to 3.5.1? Before upgrading, it worked great, but now spiders are showing up crawling the regular threads.

poprulz 12-14-2005 07:51 PM
I installed the extension..and its been 2 weeks, still google crawls only the main page and the search results are shown frm the main page.
I am using vbadvanced and vb3.5.0
The sitemap is been properly generated n submitted on a daily basis.Wot could have gone wrong?
The google result shows the following.
Code:
http://www.google.com/search?q=site:www.mallupride.com/&hl=en
Thanx in advance!

ho guys, i am using vbSEO sitemap generation ... this plug-in for 3.5x.

Actually my question is: Which product is better?
Or should we possibly merge them by using the sitemap of vbseo and the redirection of this one here.

thanks for replies!

Is there any way to run this without having to chmod my root dir to the the most insecure values on earth?

If you create the initial file with the proper permissions, then you shouldn't have to chmod the whole directory as it just overwrites the file I believe...

samu2 01-11-2006 07:59 PM
How to I install the plugin? what hook does it go under and what title does it have? thanks :)

EDIT-Know how to install plugin,just don't know what hook name or what I should call it.

samu2 01-11-2006 09:07 PM
I need to learn to read the install files ;)

OK so submitted it,it said it couldn't make a site map from a certain file then it attempted to submit it from elsewhere and it went through OK I assume as it said that it had been submitted for crawling.

Installed the plug in.Since then my bots on my site have been stuck viewing one thread for an hour.I guess I will see what they do tomorrow :) if I made an error could it make the bots get stuck?

Eagle Creek 01-12-2006 09:28 PM
Looks nice!

Is there any possibility I will lose, or decrease my hits on google?

geezmo 01-20-2006 06:56 AM
Help, my plug-in is not sending the sitemap to Google! I've installed everything correctly, added the plug-in and set a scheduled task for it. In my /forum/archive folder, there are several .gz files so I know sitemaps are being generated by the hack. But the problem is, these are not being sent to Google.

In AdminCP > Scheduled Task Manager, I get a "Done" message everytime I click "Run Now" to test the plugin. But if I check Scheduled Task Log, there's no log entry for this plugin, not even one!

Can anyone tell me what's wrong?

Probably this could help. While installing this hack, I chmodded to 777 the /forum and /archive folders as per the instructions. However when I tried to call the forums_sitemap.php file, I always get an Error 500 (Internal Server Error). Also, the forum itself is down and inaccessible while the folders are chmodded 777. I checked my error log and it confirms that the error existed because the "directory is writable by others."

The point is, when I call the forums_sitemap.php file, I get a Server Error so I basically can't make it to run even for the first time. Because the forum is down because the "directory is writable by others," I have to chmod the folders back to 755.

Anyone who knows how to make the hack send the sitemaps to Google?

PS. I'm using ver. 3.5.3

geezmo 01-24-2006 03:14 AM
any reply to my question above anyone?

anyway, i have another question. what i just did was manually submit to Google the sitemaps generated by this hack. as i said before, in /forum/archive folder, i have a lot of gz files which i assume are sitemaps.

my question is, how are the different gz files different from one another? i have more than 50 sitemap files from number 13 until number 98 but i am missing other files. what i mean is i have sitemap_13.gz file and sitemap_98.gz but i don't have sitemap_21.gz , sitemap_22.gz and sitemap_23.gz files to name a few.

i only submitted sitemap_98.gz and i'm wondering if the other (or all?) sitemap files need to be submitted to Google?

I have The Same Qustion.....as we are not xpert hand..
we are usingng "vBSEO Google/Yahoo Sitemap Generator for vBulletin 3.5.x & vBulletin 3.0.x " located in Here

what is the difference in between this two ? if u xplain,it will help us to decide our mind.....
other hand we looks for ur suggetion about url re-writer(not vbseo origin one-that costs 150$)

does this sitemap provide rss feed portion too? (maybe i cant ask the qustion properly).i mean using this sitemap does google discover sites rss ?
btw in robots.txt why we need to disallow external.php ?


Plz let us know the details...

Thnx in advance.

stinger2 04-20-2006 07:01 PM
no one is supporting this ?

newmomsforum 04-21-2006 04:38 PM
Hmm. strange.

Everything appears to have worked well. the first manual run went well.

CMOD Archive directory and forum root to 777

Lots of nice sitemap_1.gz - sitemap_22.gz files in my Archive But no g_sitemap.xml in my forum root.

Any ideas?

Thanks All

Claire :)

As I understand it a sitemap is created for each forum?

stinger2 04-23-2006 04:41 PM
any one tried this on 3.5.4?

stinger2 04-26-2006 09:12 AM

filmking 04-29-2006 07:07 PM
Thanks fior this great hack. My only problem in install was setting permission for base directory. I don't use a "forums" directory.. all base files are in public_html root.... so for whatever reason just CHmod 777 on the root didn't allow the base sitemap index file to get created. THe program continued to put the index file in archieves with the others. Finally over came this problem by placing a blank "sitemap.xml" file in the base directory and then chmod it to 777. Ran the program and it got replaced by the program with a new one and no longer received the error message of base premissions not correct. Getting an immediate increase in Google listings.. thank you

RichieBoy67 04-29-2006 07:48 PM
Can you please post what the step 3 was so I can remove it???

ShackMaster 05-11-2006 05:36 AM
Is this hack no longer supported?

I've tried uploading /forums/archive/forums_sitemap.php to Google and it will not let me add it. I noticed in an ealier thread that /forums/g_sitemap.xml should be what is submitted... but I do not have this file anywhere that I can find.

I did check out my server weblog and these are a few lines:

Any help?
