Hi folks, thanks for this mod.

I had been looking into sitemaps before finding this mod.

I've created a google webmaster account, found a website that creates a sitemap.xml for you and uploaded the sitemap.xml to http://www.domain.co.uk/sitemap.xml.

Then I found this mod, installed and it seems to be working ok. I get a ping ok message for all search engines and I get an email saying it's been done.

I've added a .htaccess file to my http://www.domain.co.uk/forums folder.

I've read pretty much this whole thread and it's only confused me more lol.

Should I remove the sitemap.xml that I uploaded to google the first time? Is this mod uploading a sitemap as well as the one I currently have?

How does google access the file uploaded by this mod if the map is at /vbseo_sitmap/data/sitemap_1.xml.gz? Does it not need to be at /sitemap.xml? Does the .htaccess file allow a 'virtual link' from /forums to the actual sitemap??

So confused!

Any clarification would be much appreciated!

Thanks
Glen

EDIT:

I've not added a url of http://www.domain.co.uk/forums to my webmaster tools in google and added the sitemap http://www.domain.co.uk/forums/sitemap_1.xml.gz and it's accepted it ok. So I assume that everytime this mod updates the sitemap, google will be able to extract it from that location.

Think I'm understanding it now. lol
