With DBSEO you just submit the .php sitemap link to webmaster tools. It just like submitting an .xml only better since you submit just one .php link and it finds all the individual .xmls from it.

I am aware that this mod is no longer supported by the developers. hoping someone might have seen this and know a solution. i have a problem that randomly started happening with vbseo sitemap generator -- nothing changed on my site which is running vb 3.8.7 pl5

Sometimes the sitemap doesn't completely generate when the script runs for that at 2am or whatever. When it fails, I get zero error notifications. when going to mysite.com/sitemap_index.xml.gz it says "sitemap file not found". The vbseo_sitemap folder contains the sitemap_forum_1.xml.gz file. Normally it should contain sitemap_forum_2.xml.gz and sitemap_forum_3.xml.gz as well. plus sitemap_index.xml.gz should be there.

A file is in that directory called progress.dat. It's as if the script starts running but can't finish. But no errors whatsoever. I checked the webserver error logs, and PHP error logs, and no problems

For years, every day my vbseo sitemap generates perfectly at 2AM on the dot. Now it fails almost every other day. The only solution to the problem is to manually re-run the sitemap generator . This always fixes the problem, and NEVER fails when I run it manually. So i'm wondering why the manual option always works yet the automated one fails basically every other day. Wouldn't it be basically the same code that executes?

thanks for any suggestions, greatly appreciate the help

So this is not working anymore? Need a sitemap builder.

For vb 4.2.2 PL4

They have a sitemap.. Best part is, developer supports the same and can be trusted..

This still works fine. If you get time outs when generating just make smaller sitemaps. You will generate more xml files but each one will be smaller.

So your using this with vb 4.2.X? If you are please point me towards any code changes. I want to use this on my 4.2.X forum

Hi there i'm getting the database error when i try to run it manually. Does it still work as a scheduled task?

I know that is no longer supported the vBSEO, but many still use it and would like to exchange some experiences.

Recently I again installed vBSEO along with sending sitemap on my site and I've had very good results on Google, but Google Webmaster is not indexing my pages many as you can see in the images below:

What should I do to improve my index pages? How to know for what reason it has not indexed the other pages?

How long has it been you re-installed? Also, Have you added each entry to you robots.txt?

Btw be careful using the words VBSEO around here. There are anti-VBSEO armies. The war never ended for them.

Same problem for me too, submitted about 200 and indexed only 3! Hmmm.
