Great! :)

vBSEO Sitemap Generator will ping google with your sitemap URL if you have "Google Notify" option enabled, but you can add your sitemaps to your google webmaster account to track their stats.

And check "Sitemap Downloads Log" in vbseo_sitemap/ interface after that to make sure they are downloaded.

does this look normal?

so I don't need to do anything aside from just let this be? there's 750,000 urls ... is that normal? seems like a lot and Yahoo and Google will just "know" its there?

thank you for your help!!

You will see "googlebot" in the "Bot" column when sitemap is downloaded by google. These entries are most likely the ones downloaded by yourself :)
Justr submit your sitemap URLs to google webmaster account and you will see their entries after some time.

ok one last question.. what ARE the url's to submit?

They're displayed on the sitemap report details page.
Basically:
http://yourforumsroot/sitemap_index.xml.gz
http://yourforumsroot/sitemap_1.xml.gz
http://yourforumsroot/sitemap_2.xml.gz
etc, depending on the number of sitemap files created.

so if I submit the index, the rest will get picked up automatically? (I have 38 files)

According to google sitemaps protocol, yes. But individual sitemaps will be download faster if you will submit them too.

This is really great, so if I have a google sitemaps account already do I need to modify anything about it?
