This means you can submit the feed from each forum section as its own separate sitemap. The problem is, google reports errors with the VB RSS feed. Quote:
I submitted 3 RSS feeds as a sitemap to google webmaster tools. For some reason 2 of the feeds are reported as MRSS Feed - those 2 are reporting errors. 1 feed is reported as as RSS Feed and its working just fine. | ||

| Hm, I never knew you could do that. I wonder if it is recommended or not? I'm going to go ask on the vBSEO support forum.  | Best Regards, Nick  Support AdminAddict // Purchase from the following reputable vendors: HostGator / Liquid Web / DriveThruOnline - Professional vBulletin Products / NameCheap Domains Compare Hosting Plans VPS • Dedicated Servers  |  | |

So I am trying to set the rss feeds up as a backup submission service. That way, if the sitemap goes down again, something is still being submitted directly to google. | ||

Out of about 6 or 7 rss2 feeds I submitted, google says they are MRSS, and rejects them. The vbulletin XML feed, google says its an invald feed type and rejects it. So I am just gonna sit back and see what that one feed does over the next few days and weeks. | ||
