Yes, you will definity have more pages indexed by Google by using sitemaps.

With my experience, if a web site's structure is too complicated, Google will be hesitated to go deeper. Sitemaps files basically advice Google that the URLs you want Google to crawl. Despite Google claims their crawlers do not base their crawling habbit entirely on sitemaps. In reality, they use sitemaps extensively. They crawl the URLs with higher "priority" first. My sitemaps have the forum list set to higher priority only after the home archive page, followed the thread pages.

My script will only write one small sitemap index file to the base vBulletin directory (g_sitemap.xml), all the sitemaps files are written to 'archive' directory. (sitemap_11.gz, sitemaps_15.gz...)

To keep my opened treads in order,I had to have so many subforums on my board, over then 1 million post..there is even no treads opened under main forums but all treads have placed in subforums of the forums..Even though my archive is pr 4 (main forum pr5), google just doesn't get in to those subforums and not indexing my treads..Pls, correct me if i am wrong..With this extension, can we solve this problem?

I use Vb 3.5 rc2
Linux rhel 4.0
my base directory is home/account/Public_html/
And archive at the public_html/archive/

On my base directory I see files like
core.1000 sizes are around 22.000KB
I got more than maybe 30 of these
But Under Archive i can not see a map file
Still looking at the issue on my side

My apache runs as nobody and both directorys have 777 for nobody

Best regards..
