I just installed Vbulletin and see there is a built in site map option on the admin side. I set everything up and it does build the sitemap, but i have two questions.
1. I checked the boxes for it to submit to google, yahoo etc. How do I know it is actually getting submitted?
2. I want to submit it to Google Webmaster tools, but I just get a gz file. How do I get the XML file.
When it build the sitemap, it looks like this, so it is not actually an XML file, so how does Google or anyone read this file. Do I need to change something?
vbulletin_sitemap_forum_0_17.xml.gz
vbulletin_sitemap_index.xml.gz
vbulletin_sitemap_thread_1_222.xml.gz
Thanks in advance.
