I used Gsitecrawler to crawl and make a sitemap of my exotic car forum (http://www.exotixboard.com). It made 5-6 files. 3-4 of those files at .gz. Will this interfere with anything? Here is a link to the sitemap-index.xml file that gsitecrawler made. http://www.exotixboard.com/sitemap-index.xml Any input or feedback would be greatly appreciated.
Maybe i'm wrong, but as far as i know you have to use only *.xml in sitemap files for google sitemaps.
You need to upload all your *.gz files and sitemap-index.xml to your webserver. Gsitecrawler has split your sitemap in 4 parts because the filesize limit imposed by google. Guido
