Simple Sitemap

[MobileHacks]

What is it
a really simple sitemap for spiders.

Why
vbseo sitemap is good. but i need another sitemap for spiders to crawl my site more NATURALLY and a sitemap to feed spiders other than google and yahoo.

this sitemap script list all of your threads, newest first. the page updates so fast that spiders will check it more often. hopefully it helps your new threads get indexed quickly.

Install
Step 1: upload sitemap.php to your forum root.
Step 2: modify template "footer"

Find

<a href="#top" onclick="self.scrollTo(0, 0); return false;">$vbphrase[top]</a>

​

Add Above

<a href="$vboptions[bburl]/sitemap.php">Sitemap</a> -

Update
Working just fine, one question, the sitemap link is visible for all users, is this correct or should it be just for Admins?

A sitemap is used for members to get around a site quickly without having to go through endless forums with fancy graphics.

The sitemap must be seen on your forum or spiders will not see it and search.
