Sitemap Generator Forum

Hy.

I need some help. I don;t understand very well how all these things work. I had installed the trial version( free one )  af this generator last fall. Now, i bought the standard one and the addition for images.

i have a forum and i am almost ready to realease the portal also. We ( me and my partner) noticed that the images that are uploaded in topics, plus all the images from Gallery are not indexed by Google. Even that we saved the image with a description name, that are not shown in google image search. That;s the reason we came back to you and bought the generator.

i downloded the zip, unzip, I deleted the generator folder from public.html , i created an empty one and i moved all the files from unzip to the new folder, with all the subdir...
i have created the empty sitemap, ror and sitemap_images as you sugested and i overwrited

I set up the configuration, i crawled ( it took 5 hours) and the generator created the sitempas.

I received an email telling me "Hello,
sitemap for your website has been updated.   

My questions are:
1. I can not download the files ar how to download them
2. Should i download them and upload on server, or they are already there
3. u said that i have to tell google about the sitemaps, or... i am nor so sure about the procedure. How google will now about all the urls
4. Do i have to re run all the procedure every day for the new entries? or how does it works?
5. I still did not fix problem with the images. In analyze there are only 2 urls for gallery

anyway, can anybody take a look and tell me what i have done good, what shall i do next, or how to fix cause, the more i read about it, the more confuse i am about this issue called SEO.

My big frustation is that i personaly created some tehnical images. I uploaded them in the forum, i renamed them so they can be find easily with google, and still they are not indexed, not even i am searching the full name of the image ((((.

Thanks very, very, very much for any help you, guys, can give it to me.

Hello,

1,2. there is no need to download sitemap files since they are already on your server.
3. You need to open google webmaster account:
[ External links are visible to logged in users only ]
and add your site and sitemap.xml there.
4. If you want to have sitemaps automatically recreated, you need to setup a scheduled task in your hosting control panel.
5.  What is an example of image URL and page where that image is located?

Thanks very much for your answer and help.


I figured out the first 3 points by myself. In webmastertools I have added the all sitemaps generated. It said that i sent 22 463 url's and google index only 9400 urls. It says no error. So.... what happened with the rest till 22 000???

Regarding the images.

here is a topic from my forum, where uploaded 3 images, all jpg.
[ External links are visible to forum administrators only ]

this is just an example. None of the images are indexed by google. Why? what i do wrong.

Also, here is the photo gallery, where we stock a lot of images for inspiration. The sitemaps_images has 1900 url . in this situation, google still working on index. they are on a waiting line

anyway, here is the url for 1 photo from gallery

Thanks for help.

I am not sure i understood the solution for automatically updating. I have to go to cpanel, on my server and how i am setting that schedule task? where?

thanks again.

Ok. i figured out what to do with that cronjob and where to put that comand.

I was looking on generator interface , on some extention that are added or not in sitemaps. i have noticed that jpg, gif, png where in NOT categorii. It is this correct? I took them off and set them in ADD extension.

please see attachment. maybe that was the cause for not taking them inti crowling...
offf i am not allowed to upload file

Any help with sitemap_images? why did it crowled only one directory? i really nead to know what is wrong with images url.

Thanks for any help.

Hello,

there are *links* to images, while they must be *embedded* on page (with <img src="">), not linked from it.
Also, they are not visible to guest visitors on your forum, that's why bots cannot access them.

I see.

Thanks for helping me.
