http://myforumsroot/sitemap_index.xml.gz and http://www.mysitename.com/sitemap_index.xml.gz do not work for me or for google.
Yahoo faithfully downloads my sitemap every week. But other MSN, Google and Ask do not. Pings to all SE are successful. robots.txt is good. I have followed installation instructions. How do I fix this? |

http://www.coupontradercentral.com/ctc/sitemap_1.xml.gz and http://www.coupontradercentral.com/ctc/sitemap_2.xml.gz I have no idea whats going wrong with this?? I took a look inside the .htaccess fold thats inside /data/ and that one said "deny from all" not sure if thats correct or if the may be playing a part in this?? |

No...robots.txt just controls spider activity.

2) if you have adsense ads on site's pages, then google media agent may be checking content for ad relevancy. so it doesnt have to be sitemap related all the time. if you submit and it succesfully reads the sitemap file, you will surely see the activity in vbseositemap reports. |

I reinstalled vbseo generator and deleted the vbseo_sitemap folder form the forum root the uploaded a fresh copy that I downloaded just now from here.
when I went to the vBSEO Sitemap Reports I found that the url of (Your Google Sitemap Index) still there before I generate it. after I generated it it still the same as before. and the sitemap ends with .xml not with .gz as in the other website... I've done everything that mentioned... but the problem still there.. hopeless |
