Site activity is down since installing VBSEO

Hello,
My site use to be ranked organicly ( i never used SEO techniques prior) in the first 2 pages of google. Since installing VBSEO it has lost ranking, and now my site is almost nonexistant.

My site www spearfishingplanet com
I have just an out of the box install of VBSEO, I had thought i had read that was good enough.
In reading the this forum I found a post talking about a site map, but i can not find an option to create one, and there isnt one @ site/sitemap_index.xml.gz.

I am going to continue to read the forum but would be great full if anyone could get me going in the right direction.


VBSEOvBSEO 3.5.1 PL1
Vb 3.8.6
Site has been up since 07

thanks

Hello,

Make sure you have the 3.5.1 with the patch, or upgrade to 3.5.2. It's possible that you may have been hacked from the exploit that was fixed.

The sitemap tool is in the downloads section. It is a seperate product. 2.6 beta2 is what you want to run.

Thanks Ill jump on this asap

You also changed your forum URLs with vBSEO. I experienced a dip for about 30 days while i got reindexed and then my traffic and adsense wen't up 4x.
