VPASP V7 status for BigYellowZone Addons:
click here for details
Released: 8/25/2009 2:05:00 PM
We've decided to extend the discounting of the BYZ subscription services, where the initial fee element is reduced by the cost of BYZ Addons that you've purchased in the last 12 months. This relates to the subscription services of BYZ147, BYZ148, and BYZ149. The reduced price will be shown when you get to the confirm-order page (ie after you have entered your domain).
Released: 4/25/2009 10:45:00 AM
BYZ Subscription Services added! You can now subscribe to get addons, or hosting, or both. For people who have bought BYZ addons in the last 12 months, you can trade-in what you've spent on addons in the last 12 months against a reduction in the relevant initial-fee element of the subscription service. This trade-in offer will only last for the next 30 days, so trade-in now! This trade-in relates to BYZ147, BYZ148, and BYZ149. See "subscription services" in the right-panel above or click on "services list" at the top. You'll get/see your discounted price of the subscription when you get to the final "confirm order" page (ie before you make payment, but after you've chosen your domain(s)). For example, if you've spent £120 on BYZ addons in the last 12 months, then you can get BYZ147 for just £37. If you've spent £200 on BYZ addons in the last 12 months then BYZ147 would only cost you £7. The prices concerned relate to prices excluding vat/tax and do not include installation cover/services. PLEASE NOTE: If you already have BYZ072/02 (Installation Cover) then that installation cover becomes invalid after you subscribe.
Released: 4/14/2009 2:00:05 PM

Released: 4/14/2009 2:00:00 PM

Sub-Modules added to your software lists - We have now ensured that all of your sub-modules are now listed for your main modules on your software screen. This means that you can now upgrade/download either the main module, and/or the sub-modules. Our upgrading and purchasing procedures use "intelligent" bundling, whereby if you've upgraded/bought all the corresponding sub-modules then you'd automatically also be assigned all appropriate parent bundls, and if you buy/upgrade a bundle then it will automatically assign access to all the sub-modules as well. Checkout your "My Software" screen, as it may now be showing you additional/new sub-modules.
Released: 9/28/2007 8:15:00 AM
BYZ Interface Improved - We have now changed our sister site (bigyellowzone.com) so that you will only get directed to bigyellowkey when you checkout, and not each time you add an item to your cart.

Note that for upgrades you should always use bigyellowkey.com for browsing/purchasing, and not bigyellowzone.com.
Released: 9/25/2007 11:45:00 PM
Version History Displays - We've added a link on the product-codes on your "My Software" screen which will popup a printer-friendly page that displays all the product details and the full version history (ie all the release notes of all versions) so that you can now see if you want/need to upgrade specific modules.

Ever wanted an easy way to have Google index your website and ALL YOUR VP-ASP PRODUCT DETAIL, PRODUCT SUMMARY, SUBCATEGORIES, AND CONTENT PAGES?
With the click of a button this simple to install utility automatically creates a special XML sitemap file that Google will read.
You simply prepare a text file containing the non VPASP pages you would like Google to read (eg non-vpasp content pages) and then click a button in VP-ASP admin and this utility will build a specially formatted file for Google containing the information Google needs to index your web pages and VP-ASP product, category, and content pages.

You simply, register for a free Google account and specify the name and location of your Google Site Map. But that's not all - your Google account also gives you some really useful additional features. We strongly recommend that anyone wanting to promote their website via Google searches signs up (see below).

Information from:
http://www.google.com/webmasters/sitemaps

Google Sitemaps is an easy way for you to submit all your URLs to the Google index and get detailed reports about the visibility of your pages on Google. With Google Sitemaps you can automatically keep us informed of all your web pages, and when you make changes to these pages to help improve your coverage in the Google crawl.

You can also specify "break points" in the sitemap generator config optoins - the number of URLs at which the generated sitemap.xml file gets split into separate files (google restrict the number of urls allowed inside a given sitemap file; you can specify a breakpoint to create multiple sitemap files automatically at the relevant points, then notify all the generated sitemap files to google)


Technical/Developer Information:
Your Google Webmaster account also gives you:

Better crawl coverage and fresher search results to help people find more of your web pages. A smarter crawl because you can tell us when a page was last modified or how frequently a page changes. Detailed reports to learn more about how Google directs traffic to your site and how the Googlebot sees your pages.

The sitemap generator allows you to add non-vpasp pages above and/or below the list of product/content pages that it will generate. There is an "above" csv file and a "below" csv file where you enter the relevant non-vpasp urls. The sitemap generator will then add those in the right places in the generated sitemap.xml file.

The "shopexd.asp?id=xxx" pages, "shopdisplayproducts.asp?id=x&cat=y", "shopdisplaycategories.asp?id=x&cat=y", and relevant shopcontent.asp pages, are automatically all included in the generated sitemap file (you can also configure which of those types of pages you want to exclude if any), the above/below text files are just for non-vpasp pages that you optionally might want to add.

Listing vpasp content pages is optional; you can also alter the restriction logic to only include certain content records/pages.
