AWS,

could you please PM me your URL so that I can take a look?

You can find vBSEO at vbseo.com, although it is not required to run vBSEO Sitemap Generator.


bashy,

do you receive an email if you generate the sitemap manually from vbseo_sitemap/ interface (not scheduled execution).

basically, it should be downloaded immediately after submission. Have you posted your sitemap at Yahoo sitemap submit page and do you have "Google notify" option enabled? With Google, you can also manually submit your sitemaps to the google webmaster account.

Yes I have done this but
Show Sitemap Downloads Log
and
Show SE Bots Activity Log
are still empty.

I have no idea what I could have done wrong. Please assist.

Any limit to the number of records in the sitemap?
when I do a google site:mydomain.com/forums it only shows 200 records. We have over 3000+ posts and over 1000 members. Sitemap has only been running for about 10 days though.

With my added urls the Sitemap Downloads Log report shows 18000 records.

Thanks for any advice

I had the same problem... I fixed it by looking at (actually looking for)my .htaccess file at root... for some reason it didnt get uploaded :confused: now i am tracking the downloads

No i dont....not anymore

Well it looks like the problem is with my install of vbulletin. I have this running on a couple other sites and it runs just fine. I'm going to see if I can track the problem and if I can't I'll PM you the url.

Found the problem.
On my server I have short_open_tag = Off in php.ini. I have it off so I don't get lazy by using them. It also makes it easy for me to find blocks of php code in files.
I modified the scripts so that <?php is used instead of <?.
Works fine now.

vBulletin version 3.0.8
when i execute the "Run Sitemap Generator"
all i get is a blank page and no output in the data folder.

I have vbseo running as well....

Any ideas as to what the issue could be?

Sitemap has only been running for about 10 days though.[QUOTE]The maximum number of URLS per sitemap file is 50,000 (multiple files are created if you have more URLs). However, the number of *indexed* pages in google is not related directly to number of URLs in sitemap. *Ideally*, they will be the same, but it depends on google only :)


bashy
is generation completed successfully though?


AWS
ah, ok. Yes, we are aware of this and we've fixed this problem (it will work with vBSEO Sitemap Generator v1.7)

TSR

have you tried to setup a cron job for Sitemap Generator and check if it works correctly?
