Yahoo sitemap - .htaccess

http://www.example.com/forums/vbseo_sitemap/

Does this suppose to show my yahoo sitemap on there, because it doesn't.

It lists my google http://www.sembmusclecarclub.com/for...p_index.xml.gz

But not yahoo
---------------

by the way I added my code:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^((urllist|sitemap).*\.(xml\.gz|txt))$ vbseo_sitemap/vbseo_getsitemap.php?sitemap=$1 [L]

like this or do I have to put "RewriteEngine On" again in there? I didn't, because it's already in the default VBSEO code

HTML Code:

# Comment the following line (add '#' at the beginning)
# to disable mod_rewrite functions.
# Please note: you still need to disable the hack in
# the vBSEO control panel to stop url rewrites.
RewriteEngine On

# Some servers require the Rewritebase directive to be
# enabled (remove '#' at the beginning to activate)
# Please note: when enabled, you must include the path
# to your root vBulletin folder (i.e. RewriteBase /forums)
#RewriteBase /

#RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.yourdomain\.com
#RewriteRule (.*) http://www.yourdomain.com/forums/$1 [L,R=301]

RewriteRule ^((urllist|sitemap).*\.(xml|txt)(\.gz)?)$ vbseo_sitemap/vbseo_getsitemap.php?sitemap=$1 [L]

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} (admincp|modcp|clientscript|cpstyles|images)/
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ $1 [L]

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME}index\.php -f
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ $1index.php [L]

RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} !vbseourl=
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !chat
RewriteRule ^(.*\.php)$ vbseo.php?vbseourl=$1&%{QUERY_STRING} [L]

RewriteRule ^$ vbseo.php?vbseourl=index.php [L]
RewriteRule ^(archive/.*)$ vbseo.php?vbseourl=$1&%{QUERY_STRING} [L]

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.+)$ vbseo.php?vbseourl=$1&%{QUERY_STRING} [L]

By the way should I submit my "http://www.sembmusclecarclub.com/forums/sitemap_index.xml.gz" sitemap to google anyways even though the hack already does it?

I know I have to manually submit yahoo, just can't find my yahoo feed

Sorry I can't answer your questions, but could you please use the features of the vBulletin message editor -- the CODE tags?

Thanks,

Jim

I'd appreciate it if I could get a little help on this please

Do I have to put my actual url in here, you guys said I didn't have to do this in the install instructions...????

HTML Code:

#RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.yourdomain\.com
#RewriteRule (.*) http://www.yourdomain.com/forums/$1 [L,R=301]

Those lines are commented out, and only needed if you wish to redrect yourdomain.com to www.yourdomain.com (To keep all URLs consistent.)

I replied to your support ticket about the Yahoo sitemaps. Your Yahoo-compatible sitemap would be located here:
http://www.sembmusclecarclub.com/forums/urllist.txt.gz

Yeah, but Keith doesn't the yahoo sitemap suppose to show in the ->>>> http://www.example.com/forums/vbseo_sitemap/ like google?

Doesn't that mean something is wrong with my sitemap?

Althought everything seems to be working alright...

Also, should I submit my google sitemap to the google webmaster?

If you go to Show Reports List and View Detail on one of the days, it will show the URLLIST file also.

Ok looks like yahoo isn't working, shouldn't there be urls next to urllist.txt.gz?

It's prolly because I had to authenticate my site on yahoo, then the yahoo sitemap will prolly work right?

By the way my google sitemap said it submitted 56,890 urls, isn't that too much? I though google can only do 50,000,

I have my settings set at 50,000 in the sitemap options, should I put it back to 20,000?

Hello Erik,

you should submit your http://yourforumsroot/urllist.txt.gz sitemap to yahoo at http://submit.search.yahoo.com/free/request (yahoo login is required)

By the way my google sitemap said it submitted 56,890 urls, isn't that too much? I though google can only do 50,000,

Google allows up to 50,000 URLs per file and vBSEO Sitemap Generator splits your sitemap automatically to multiple files.

just did that, should work now
