Easy to follow guide for implementing extra-urls.txt?

Guys,

I tried searching and came up with massive results..can anyone point me to a nice guide for creating and implementing an extra-urls.txt file?

You should add links in that file in this format (one URL per line):

Code:

URL,frequency,priority

an example:

Code:

http://www.domain.com/page.html,daily,0.9
http://www.domain.com/page2.html,weekly,0.5
http://www.domain.com/page2.html

default priority (when not specified) is "1.0", default frequency is "daily".

Excellent..doesn't get much easier than that

Thank you Oleg!

O.K., I guess I have a gift of transforming the easy into the difficult. Where does extra-urls.txt go on my server? I see an empty extra-urls.txt file residing in the vbseo_sitemap folder, do I simply replace that file?

Also, how does google know about this file..Do I need to submit it to Google, or do I need to flip a switch in vbseocp or something?

Thanks

Yes, that's right.

When sitemap is generated next time for you, the URLs will be automatically included in xml sitemap.

thanks Oleg!

Thanks for the post, I had trouble finding this, Please create a sricky so people can find this easily, thank you.

I renamed my index.php to forum.php but made it so that it's forum/

Should I include the old URL (example.com/forum.php) or the new one (example.com/forum/) ?

Perfect, this is exactly what I was searching for.

I hope in a future version this will be a form field within the admin control panel, because it is too easy to forget to edit a file directly on the server.
