Hello djbaxter,
No, I don't have a sitemap in the root.
I recall having experimented with vbseo a year ago or so and I did edit the .htaccess in the root then (
http://forums.mysite.com). That info is still there in the rewrite rules:
RewriteRule ^((urllist|sitemap).*\.(xml|txt)(\.gz)?)$ vb/vbseo_sitemap/vbseo_getsitemap.php?sitemap=$1 [L]
{{Aik, I'm starting to understand what went wrong this year: nothing was there.}}
So, I only have the default htaccess supplied by this hack in forums.mydomain.com/vb and I remove the line from the root .htaccess? But how does google then know it should look into forums.mydomain.com/vb? Through the robot.txt like you mentioned? What do I put there?
Nothing at all? Is the right url submitted to the searchengines when completing the creation through CRON or run?
