    Thank you Joe,

    I hope it will be a success, it is a big board. (600 000 messages). I am waiting for further installation instructions.

    Hello Joe

    What is your advice for the sitemap configuration.

    I have "No" for this option:

    If you have vBSEO, include old urls?
    While vBSEO will automatically 301-redirect old (dynamic) URLs to the newly formatted static URLs, some users may opt to include the old URLs in the sitemap to ensure Google finds the redirect headers for each page. Include this option until you note that most old URLs have been purged from Google.

    Do you think I should choose "Yes" ?

    Thanks

    I prefer "No" for this myself, especially for larger boards.

    From my perspective it inflates the size of the sitemap too much.

    Of course it can help with the rate of dropping old content and replacing it with the new version, but for large forums a doubling of sitemap size is too significant in my opinion. I would rather have the SEs focus on identifying the new locations directly.
