Could this be because it's not being sent to the correct url to the sitemap? Because it said I submitted one in January of 2006 and I have no recollection of that lol.

What is the sitemap URL that shows in your Google Webmaster account?

It should be: http://www.gamingvidz.com/forum/sitemap_index.xml.gz

Oh, it's just a "-" lol I'll just delete the one I have there and submit a new one with the correct url you posted above.

Thanks

It says I have to create a new url to GamingVidz.com in order to do it. Should I be doing my sitemap differently though? (I use vBadvanced on the home page)

You can put these lines into the .htaccess in your root directory (If you already have a RewriteEngine On line, don't repeat it. Just add the other line.):

Code:

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

Then, in your vBSEO Sitemap options in AdminCP, set the "Sitemap Files URL" field to: http://www.gamingvidz.com/

Then, go to your vBSEO Sitemap menu and manually generate the sitemap.

Then you should be able to submit your sitemap as: http://www.gamingvidz.com/sitemap_index.xml.gz

Ok cool. Yah, so you would highly recommend doing it the way you just described as opposed to the way I would have done it through the forum?

(Because I'm using vBadvanced?)
