Simple little Joomla mambot.
Installed easily.
Setup was confusing because I was not familiar with Yahoo Sitemap and the mambot did not explain it clearly enough for me.
There is only one field to fill-in on the mambot: "YahooSiteMap Key"
If you hover over the that word, you get a popup example of the YahooSiteMape Key. The example shows a number like this "d08ed6cg02tt988c".
Then sign up for Yahoo Site Explorer at: https://siteexplorer.search.yahoo.com/mysites.
Put in your website's URL. Then hit "Authenticate". This will display some key numbers. Choose the short number that looks like the example you get from your mambot when you hovered over "YahooSiteMap Key."
In yahoo you will see:
"If you have problem with downloading the authentication key, please create a text file named as y_key_e727fd6a45f03ea1.html, put this string d08ed6cg02tt988c into the file." The short number "d08ed6cg02tt988c" is the key you need for your mambot. Go back to your mambot and put in the key.
I use Open-SEF which generates a new SiteMap Xml file every week. The file is called google_opensef.xml.
Back at Yahoo Site Explorer, go to "manage" your site URL. There you can enter the path to the xml file created by Open-Sef. I put in the path to my google_opensef.xml file, and it worked with Yahoo. For example, my path is:
http://www.MyDomain.com/components/com_sef/google_opensef.xm.
