    Google Sitemap

    I have been having some problems since moving to a dedicated server in August with being idexed in google. My forum is fine and indexed thanks to your sitemap generator. My problem is my index page. Is there a posible way I can ad my shtml index page in the forum sitemap so google can find my index page again? I hope there is.
    Read below to see some of the problems I've been having:

    Hello,
    I came here seeking help as I've tried everything I can think of to get this resolved.

    It started back in Aug 2007. I moved from a VPS to a dedicated server (same host).
    My site Metal Detecting Forums, Auctions + More - Treasure Quest has been online since 2001. I've managed to rank for keyword "Metal Detecting" #1 at Yahoo & #2 at Google.
    After the move to the new server I dropped completely from both Yahoo & Google.
    After about a month Yahoo did pick me back up but they had a description of a drug co. listed for me. When I clicked on the cache it was a home interior website.
    All 9 sites I was hosting on my old server have been affected this way. Look at this whoiswebhosting: WHOIS and Reverse IP Service
    They still have all of my sites listed as being on my old server. It's been almost 4 months since I moved.

    I'm still not listed in Google and no matter what I do They will not take my sitemap at webmaster tools.

    Seems this only has affected my index because my forum is listed in the search engines: Metal Detecting Forums at Treasure Quest - Powered by vBulletin

    Could I ask for someone with knowledge of this situation to review my site and help me fix this?

    Thank you,

    Greg

    You can add non-forum pages in "extra-urls.txt" file to include them in sitemap created by vBSEO Sitemap Generator.

    Sitemaps protocol disallows including URLs from different domains in the same sitemap.
