so where do I begin to fix this? |
varkjie,
try to remove sitemap files from forums folder, create .htaccess as described, regenerate sitemaps via vbseo_sitemap/ interface and try to open http://yourforumsroot/sitemap_index.xml.gz in browser. nirvana43, you should change this: Quote:

Code:
This XML file does not appear to have any style information associated with it. The document tree is shown below. |

I've seen some software or seo pros do that. an example sitemap_index file could include: sitemap_forums.xml.gz sitemap_threads.xml.gz etc. So yours seem normal. Did you try to open sitemap_1.xml.gz on your browser? try that. |

1) click TOOLS to expand menu 2) click Analyze robots.txt 3) paste your robots.txt file there 4) click the check button maybe it says where's the problem. also i'd try removing the sitemap: lines from the robots.txt and try that. I assume you are able to open www.YourSite.com/robots.txt on your browser succesfully. |

google has, i dunno, maybe millions of sites to crawl, so it has its priorities. Even if you submit your site to google for indexing it may take long time. if your site has links from important, high ranked sites, i'm sure it will be crawled soon after it sees the links. And its always fast. If no links, than sitemap is one of the helpers. It's worth the effort. After that, it's up to your site's content update frequency. |

is that what the page is suppose to look like? |
my site is already submitted to yahoo, do i have to submit the www.site.com again or should i submit the forum this time around, www.site.com/forums/ or should i submit a direct link to one of the xml.gz files that has been created?
thanks. ps... i do not have vbseo. do i need vbseo for this to work? |
i am also seeing, like usual, a lot of these in my users online area:
crawl-66-249-67-184.googlebot.com and lj513278.crawl.yahoo.net arent these now suppose to download or read the xml.gz file because i do not see any traffic under the "Sitemap Downloads Log" area. |
