    Hello Daniel,


    You should really consider not to add member profile pages to your sitemaps, as it is useless and counterproductive to have Google indexing them.


    Do you ask yourself why? Quite simply, because they don't have any interesting content to show to SE's. You may want to check this thread

    The reason I ask this is because I run a gaming forum and on the forum I have alot of well known users that others search for, is that a good reason to be indexed or do you think I should leave it?

    Ohh, I see now

    If that brings you *real* traffic (users committed to register and participate actively by themselves) to your site, then it is fine to leave your sitemaps that way. I just made a quick search on Google and I do see some profile pages indexed, so I'm not quite sure what your actual problem is?.

    Please let us know!.
