| Failed Pings
I have installed VBSEO and the sitemaps. However I keep getting this message in my daily reports: Summary: ============================ Forum Display: 44 Show Thread: 1072 Show Post: 5890 Member Profiles: 1264 Poll Results: 0 Archive: 31 Total Indexed URLs: 8302 Total Processing Time: 4.52 seconds Google ping: FAILED. Yahoo ping: FAILED. Ask ping: FAILED. Moreover ping: FAILED. Why are the ping failed? What would be the cause? I have a google webmaster tools account and I have linked it to sitemap_index.xml.gz Is that a problem since the software already submits daily sitemaps? How can I fix this? |

Hello, perhaps your server doesn't allow outgoing http connections, so ping cannot be completed. You can manually submit sitemap to Google: http://www.google.com/webmasters/sitemaps/siteoverview and Yahoo: https://siteexplorer.search.yahoo.com/mysites

You were right. I spoke to the tech guys at my hosting company and since I am on a reseller account, that function is disabled. Only available on dedicated servers.

I just received an email from my host company (hostdime.com) and they wrote this: "After speaking with you on the phone, a colleague of mine advised that an update to VBSEO uses a different method than the "allow_url_fopen" method, which I advised you is not activated in a shared environment. Please contact your software provider to obtain an update. Hope this helps!" What do they mean? I am running vBSEO 3.2.0 |

Hello, SE ping is a feature of vBSEO Sitemap Generator, not vBSEO. Sitemap generator uses file($url) function for pings.
