I used a mod_rewrite to make all of my forum topics static. But the only pages that have been listed are those not affected by the mod_write...here is a link to my indexed pages in google. http://www.google.com/search?q=site:...FA:en&filter=0 Also, I didn't know weather to put a google sitemap in my root directory or my forum root directory so I put on in both, and submitted both. Is this a bad idea, if so which one should I keep. I appreciate any help I can get in advance...take care! P.S - As long as I have an open thread, my site just had its 1 month birthday. We have had about 1,500 unique visitors, 10,000 page views and 52 members with 510 posts. Considering I had no outside help as far as posting and recruiting, are we off the a good start?  | ||||

| How long ago did you switch to static URLs? You should set up your robots.txt to exclude robots from the old URLs. But it is usually at least a week before you see any of the new static pages in the index. | ||||
