Does anybody else here use vBseo for their vBulletin forums? I have several forums and am running vBseo on some of them. I am still trying to convince myself that my rankings are actually helped by it.

Does anybody else use it or have anything good or bad to say about it?

Still trying to weigh the pros and cons of it though. Anyone else have any experience with vBseo?

Own the first two help run the third. All three use VBSEO and I love it. I love it because it cleans my forum urls up, reduces the amount of duplicate urls and helps get my pages indexed faster by making the archive a sitemap. It also includes other features such as google adsense targeting, includes my google analytics code sitewide without me having to edit a single template and rewrites my homepage urls.

I researched it and decided not to use it.

i'm living proof that it works.

i got re-indexed on july 16th.

the image speaks for itself. 86% of my traffic was from google yesterday.

i have over a million SERP's in google now.... up from 15,000 before the switch over.

Results 1 - 10 of about 1,150,000 from hondaswap.com

oh, and income followed suit.

I'd appreciate it if you used my affiliate link if you do buy it

Get vBSEO

Good sales pitch lol. I cant wait till Google loves me too

Very cool Brian. I already use it personally, but thanks for posting all of those images. That was very inspiring to see. My sites haven't been completely reindexed yet but I now look forward to it now that I have a better idea of what to expect.

I also see that you are using Adsense. Another thing I have been meaning to switch back to.

took me about a month. my site was a pr4, but dropped to a 3 as it was half down during the re-index. i'm shooting for pr6 by christmass

Just created my fourth forum tonight (still got tons of setup to do), and you can bet I purchased my fourth vbseo license 5 minutes after the vbulletin license.

**briansol** · 07-28-2006, 02:43 AM

5 min? what took you so long?

**sasquatch** · 07-28-2006, 10:44 AM

I have been torn about gettng vbseo or not. Lot's of mixed results out there for VBseo.

Google currently indexes a whooping 129 pages of my forum. I have over 2000 members and 9000+ posts.

At this point, I guess I am willing to try something different.

Should I install vbseo now or wait until vb3.6 is released?

**briansol** · 07-28-2006, 11:36 AM

vbseo works on both 3.5.4 and up to 3.6.0 RC3. It's your choice. I wouldn't wait a day longer though

I am working with some people who are going to release an SEO plugin for VB.

For 1/3 of the price, of course.

Look forward to seeing it and how it compares to VBSEO.

Maybe I should get vB the forum first haha ^_^

**ltn1dr** · 07-30-2006, 12:45 AM

Yup, everyone forum I use I put vBseo on, but I don't buy the full version lol because my forums are always not good enough to spend that much money on lol
