    Not that I am aware of. I'm sure they're working on it though.

    Glad to hear that. I think a special sitemap generator to be made for MSN would be a great idea.

    Well, they were all coming up with a single standard for sitemaps at one point. Hopefully that will happen.

    Are you saying you're going to merge all three (Google, Yahoo, MSN) and have them as a single sitemap?

    If they all agree on a sitemap "standard" then we will only have to generate one sitemap format, yes.

    Sounds good to me but is that even possible, actually? I doubt that... I mean it would be pretty hard to have them all as ONE sitemap.

    It's very easy. They all need basically the same information. They just need to agree on the format of the file.

    I see. So let me guess. This will be included in the next release of vBSEO which is v3.1.0, am I correct?

    No, it would be in vBSEO Sitemap, which is a separate product than vBSEO. And it will be included once they agree on a format. Or, if MSN has its own format before then, that will most likely be added in the interim.

    Okay I guess we'll have to wait until the vBSEO Gold version is out and then wait for the new sitemap.

    This has already happened two months ago as posted in Google, Yahoo, and MSN All Agree To Use Sitemap Standard Established by Google. - vBulletin Modification Discussions and various other places throughout the net. I believe you can already submit the google sitemap url for vBSEO sitemaps to Yahoo. Not sure where MSN is with regards to submiting.
