    Exclamation URL's indexed in sitemap shot up, then went down

    Well since I installed vBSEO 11 days ago my site went from about 2,000 URL's indexed (Google) to 26,000. Today I checked it and it's down to 18,000 indexed. Why would it drop like that?

    Thanks.

    Did you change any options? close a forum, then open it? Remember, the sitemap only includes PUBLIC viewable areas.

    Brian, I did nothing like that. Now the sitemap is back up to 22,000. Very weird, any ideas?

    it's possible that it didn't finish running and timed out. just keep an eye on it, as you may need to increase some server resources, like wait_timeout or memory_limit
