This mod urgently needs support for images! Images and videos, both hosted on a CDN and hosted on the same server -- come on VBSEO! Nayone know of any other sitempa plugins that can index my images?

Do we need it for 4.2.1 as I can see the option by default?

I was going to ask; how is this any different from the XML Sitemap function built in vB?

They are similar but this mod offers quite a few more options ....

Reports List

The 'Show Reports List' link will display a report of each time your vBSEO Sitemap generator executed, including the (1) date, (2) run time, (3) total URLs included, and (4) and change in # of URLs included from the last generation.
Each vBSEO Sitemap generation record will include a (1) "View details" and (2) "Remove record" link. The "View Details" link shows more detailed information about the sitemap generated. The "Remove record" will permanently delete the record from your reports.

Downloads Log

The 'Show Sitemap Downloads Log' link will display a report of each time your vBSEO Sitemap was downloaded by either a search engine (Identified by the Bot's name) or by another user agent (i.e. Web browser, etc.).
The report includes the (1) date, (2) name of sitemap file downloaded, (3) Bot, (4) IP address of the downloader, and the (5) User-agent.
Each vBSEO Sitemap download record will include a "Remove record" link which will permanently delete the record from your reports.

Search Engine Bots Activity Log

Use it to track Search engine activity on your sitemaps. This area displays how often, and what volume of pages search engines visit your site on a daily basis.

Custom Pages / Extra URLs

The ability to add additional urls to the sitemap that are not native to vBulletin. For example any custom pages you have created or custom mods you have added.

Automatic Notification to Search Engines

Auto-notifies Search Engines when a new sitemap is generated (optional). Currently works for notifying both Google and Bing.

There are probably others points also but these 5 items stand out as either not offered at all with the built in vB xml sitemap system or not nearly as robust and in-depth.

Thank you for the information. :)

I decided to disable the default one and use this.

Please tell me; do I need to manually add the sitemap to my webmasters account as well? If so, which file do I submit?

I was previously using the four sitemaps generated by vBulletin.

You don't have to submit it, but I recommend you do. If submitted the search engines will show you how many submitted links are indexed versus the total links submitted.

You only need to submit the index sitemap the search engines will be able to crawl the rest from there. Your submitted sitemap link should look something like: http://www.yoursitename.com/forums/sitemap_index.xml.gz

You should also place it in robots.txt so other crawlers and smaller search engines can also find it. I place it in the top line, but you can place anywhere. The line in robots.txt should look like:

Why the hell is there no support for the paid product on your own website!?? Emergency ticket now for over 3 weeks, no response. Have the developers left?

Ball bags. Don't expect support from the useless pricks, they don't even give their paying customers support.

I am opening dispute with PayPal, Vbseo don't bother to reply to support tickets
