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.

Also, is your sitemap working for you when opened in browser?

        <sitemapindex xsi:schemaLocation="            http://www.sitemaps.org/schemas/sitemap/0.9            http://www.sitemaps.org/schemas/sitemap/09/siteindex.xsd">

        <sitemap>
<loc>http://www.mysitename.com/sitemap_1.xml.gz</loc>
<lastmod>2008-04-05T08:01:04+00:00</lastmod>

Although I couldnt manage to get vbseositemap working, I can say with my previous sitemap creation experience, your sitemap file seems normal. sitemap_index is an index file as name says. it includes the location of sitemap files. and it really does, it points to sitemap_1 file.
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.

thank you for reply sir.:o

in google webmaster tools:
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.

my guess for google not crawling;
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.

I have the .htaccess folder, but I just deleted everything and reuploaded from scratch and this is what I see http://www.coupontradercentral.com/c...p_index.xml.gz
is that what the page is suppose to look like?

GoTTi 04-05-2008 07:02 PM

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?

GoTTi 04-05-2008 07:05 PM

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.
