Re: Adding H1 Tags to your Forum and Threads

vBSEO has a setting like this, but better

, here is a break down

(1) NEW FEATURE: Relevant Replacements - The new relevant replacements feature can be enabled from within your vBSEO Admin CP.

The Relevant Replacements feature is a significant step forward in boosting the relevancy of vBSEO-enabled pages by giving the forum admin the ability to insert combinations (i.e. phrases) containing various highly relevant content anywhere they want in their vBulletin templates. This is a very powerful feature, especially for more advanced SEO professionals.

Relevant phrase patterns are created within the vBSEO Admin Control Panel in the "Define Relevant Replacements" section.

The relevant phrase patterns can be constructed using any of the following replacement patterns along with plain text:

[thread_title] - For showthread, showpost, and printthread pages it will contain the title of the thread.
[forum_description] - For forumdisplay, showthread (etc) pages, it will contain the forum description.
[forum_title] - For forumdisplay, showthread (etc) pages, it will contain the title of the forum.
[bb_title] - For any vBSEO rewritten page, it will contain the title of your forum as defined in your vBulletin Admin CP.
[default_keywords] - For any vBSEO rewritten page, it will contain the basic forum keywords as defined in your vBulletin Admin CP.
[first_post_X_words] - For showthread, showpost, and printthread pages it will contain the first X words of the actual post. Note: The X is replaced in order to indicate the # of words you want to use in the replacement pattern. Example: [first_post_10_words] would take the first 10 words from the post to be used in the relevant replacement pattern.

The replacement patterns can be used in any combination to construct relevant replacement phrases that will be inserted by vBSEO into any of your templates in which you insert a corresponding comment tag in the format of .

The X is replaced by a # corresponding to the replacement pattern you created in your vBSEO Admin CP. Example:

Replacement Patterns

PHP Code:

[thread_title] at the [forum_title] within the [bb_title]
[thread_title]: [first_post_10_words]

The [thread_title] at the [forum_title] within the [bb_title] replacement pattern would replace the  tag whereever it occurs in any of your templates.
The [thread_title]: [first_post_10_words] replacement pattern would replace the  tag whereever it occurs in any of your templates.

After creating the above replacement patterns, the admin would insert the  and  tags into their vBulletin templates in *any* place they wish vBSEO to apply the relevant replacement content.

Note: We expect you all, with the exception of a few of our vBSEO gurus, to have some questions about this feature. As always, feel free to ask away and the Crawlability team, our moderators, and your fellow vBSEO users will help you to get started!

Re: Adding H1 Tags to your Forum and Threads

this is what we're using here

forumdisplay

Code:

<strong>[forum_title] at the [bb_title]</strong> <span class="smallfont">[forum_description]</span><br />

and showthread

Code:

<strong>[forum_title]</strong> <span class="smallfont">Discuss <em>[thread_title]</em> in the [parent_forum_title] forums; [first_post_20_words]...</span>

and I put this right under $navbar on SHOWTHREAD and FORUMDESPLAY

Code:

<center><h1><!--VBSEO_RR_1--></h1></center>

here is where you edit in vbseocp

hope that helps the vbseo users

Re: Adding H1 Tags to your Forum and Threads

Looks like I would need to turn back on my forum description in vb options then add the code to my vbseo. Plus take out the CSS and header tags I inserted in the templates.

Re: Adding H1 Tags to your Forum and Threads

no, you don't need the forum descriptions on ;)

vbseo will do that for you, but we'll talk more about it soon. I just got home and the dog is whining, so I need to take care of here, grab a bite to eat rest, and go to bed to do it agian tomarrow
