    NOTE: It appears that you do NOT have our vBSEO Sitemap installed! We strongly recommend that you add our sitemap to your forum, in addition to vBSEO.

    The vBSEO Google/Yahoo Sitemap Generator helps to speed up the process of the search engines finding all of your pages.

    However, it is NOT included with vBSEO. It's a separate plugin we made freely available to all vBulletin users.

    You can find out more and download it here:
    vBSEO Google/Yahoo Sitemap Generator for vBulletin 3.6.x, vBulletin 3.5.x & vBulletin 3.0.x

    We have sitemap detection bot. It checks for the existence of your vBSEO Sitemap control panel.

    If it's not in the designed place, it's been altered, the forum URL in our registration database is incorrectly, your site is down, or we experience some other issue while checking your site it can result in a false detection.

    In general, if your sitemap reports show activity, then you should be fine.

    The 1970 dated PM. Was that separate from the sitemap notice, or the same one?

    Hello Paul,

    the licensed forums URL was set to Cable Forum in registration database, while it is Cable Forum - Virgin Media customer support and community forum , so the bot was checking /vbseo_sitemap/ URL instead of /board/vbseo_sitemap/. I've corrected your license record.

    I have had the same issue. When i first purchased VBseo it was for my root domain, but for the past few months when i launched my forum, it's not on root domain anymore. The sitemap has been installed since day 1 of my forum opening date which is not the root domain.

    Anyway to correct this issue? Please send me a PM if you need information. (i'm picking up dinner in a few minutes)
