What this add-on BADLY needs is an easy way to prune all the outdated reports it leaves behind, without having to go through a gazillion screens.
Even better would be to have it automated so that it only keeps say a week's worth. |

Hi guys, love this mod. I have a question:
Is there a reason to make member profiles crawlable? I turned that part off because I wasn't sure if there was a reason to let the spiders crawl that. Got any good reasons why I should use it? Thanks. |

The only reason would be to encourage even more spammers to sign up and never post anything just for the privilege of dropping a link back to their sites in the member profile. The best thing you can do is NOT include that in the sitemap and in fact shut it off to viewing for everyone except logged in members.

Network unreachable: robots.txt unreachable
We encountered an error while trying to access your Sitemap. Please ensure your Sitemap follows our guidelines and can be accessed at the location you provided and then resubmit. We require your Sitemap file to be UTF-8 encoded (you can generally do this when you save the file). As with all XML files, any data values (including URLs) must use entity escape codes for the characters listed in the table below. |

I don't want /vbseo_sitemap viewable to the world.
Did I miss something in the instructions? If I password protect that directory, will the script still work? |

If you password protect the directory, how will Google and Yahoo be able to readi it?
|

I believe the .htaccess takes care of that since the url for the sitemap is not pointing directly to the vbseo directory.
