    Hi everyone, I have this problem:

    I've submit my site http://www.mysite.com to google webmaster tools
    basically my site is a forum and I don't have a homepage, I use 301 redirect on the domain so when you typehttp://www.mysite.com you will be automatically redirected tohttp://www.mysite.com/forum
    Today I used a modification for my forum to generate a huge sitemap wich is located at http://www.mysite.com/forum/sitemap.xml, then I go to submit it like a sitemap for http://www.mysite.com but google added http://www.mysite.com/forum/ as a new site and my main domain remains without sitemap. I know that google allows to submit only the main domain and was wondering why this happend, will they consider it DUPLICATED content?

    mysite.com is not my domain I jsut used it as an example
