    Man-made site vs vBSEO Sitemap Generator for forum

    I had a normal website. I decided to add a forum to it so I purchased vB. Then added vBSEO and the Sitemap Generator. I don't have the vB CMS because I didn't want to rebuild my entire website just to have a forum added.

    Now I'd like to continue using vB sitemap generator. Only problem is that I need to use a sitemap generator for my man-made site as well but when I do this it adds all the links to the forum again. So, I've had to go through and manually pick out all of the forum links and delete them. I've been using xml-sitemaps.com

    Does anybody have experience with this? I can't keep taking an extra hour or two of my time to delete forum links out of my normal sites sitemap. Is there a way to exclude files from a sitemap or something?

    Most sitemap generators have you install them on the server and I'm afraid to do that and have it interfere with my vBSEO one obviously. Any recommendations to one that excludes folders so I can exclude the forum files or ideas?

    Thanks

    What are you using to power the man-made site? If you are using Wordpress, there is a great plugin which will generate a sitemap just for that. It's called Google XML Sitemaps Generator.

    Place the urls in your man made site into the blank file called /vbseo_sitemap/extra-urls.txt
    vBSEO Sitemap Generator will pick up these URLs on next run and add then to the vBSEO sitemap.

    The format is: URL,frequency,priority

    Like so:


    Code:
    http://www.domain.com/page.html,daily,0.9
    http://www.domain.com/page2.html,weekly,0.5
    More info here:
    Easy to follow guide for implementing extra-urls.txt?
