lot of work put into this

this is the problem

Status OK
Total URLs in Sitemap 381
Indexed URLs in Sitemap 0

I mean, I know it is me that prob does it wrong.. but I went through the setup step by step.
Spend $300 on this vbSEO and just want it setup correctly.... All I am seeing, due to my mistakes prob, is numbers going down.

If you have changed sitemap settings recently your numbers WILL go down.

You need to have patience with this stuff. Google doesn't recognize and index changes overnight. It usually takes a couple weeks.

yeah I guess so.. but 0% seems a bit extreme...

Can I ask what is a good robot to place?

Hi.

Yeah I saw my google search show up with vbseo results, so I changed my username and made the domain name a bit weird.. but it is the same domain www. ex ter na law . c o m, no difference.. I have two vbseo sites here,

I know the robot.txt needs to be in the root, but what is a good robot.txt in regards to content.

I turned my archives back on by the way and since google has gone crazy indexing my sites..

Waw Glad to hear that Mike
