vBSEO, the Best SEO product for vBulletin

**Brandon Sheley** · 08-14-2006, 01:55 PM

I think this is the best product for vBulletin, have you tried vBSEO

here is a press release that was published

vBSEO Demo Released for vBulletin Forums Searching for SEOCrawlability Inc. has released a demo of their popular vBSEO plugin (vBulletin SEO), giving prospective customers an opportunity to explore the powerful SEO feature set and configuration options before upgrading their vBulletin Powered Forums.
Mayagüez, Puerto Rico (PRWEB) May 18, 2006 -- Try before you buy even in the world of "Search Engine Optimization"? Crawlability Inc. says "yes" with their popular vBulletin SEO plugin called vBSEO.

A fully functional demo is now available at http://www.vbseo.com/demo/. After signup, users can completely test and configure all aspects of the vBSEO control panel on a demo forum located at http://demo.vbseo.com. All users share the same forum, but only see their own SEO settings in action.

The Crawlability Inc. team carefully chooses default settings for vBSEO and says that defaults are, in fact, more than sufficient to achieve an SEO improvement. However, they acknowledge that "SEO is a moving target" and many users may want to try alternative strategies.

"Flexibility was a priority from Day 1 and we've achieved that. No other product available today for vBulletin SEO has the depth of feature set or ease of configurability that vBSEO provides" says Crawlability President, Juan Muriente.

"As our advanced feature set grows, there was an increasing demand from our users to explore vBSEO a bit closer before vBSEO-enabling their forums."

"With vBSEO 3.0 just around the corner, we're preparing to play a big part in what we foresee as the convergence of the blogosphere with the forumosphere. People are going to be amazed at what's included with 3.0 and our demo gives them the capability to see it all in action" said Muriente.

The demo will also become an integral part of the vBSEO affiliate program (http://www.vbseo.com/aff/). Affiliate Program Manager, Joe Ward acknowledged that the demo will be a very important tool for affiliates - allowing them to see improved conversion rates for the traffic they deliver to vBSEO. "Forum admins have heard the buzz about vBSEO. Now they can see for themselves how powerful it really is. We'll be encouraging our affiliates to promote the demo, and I fully expect to see their conversion rates improve as a direct result" says Ward.

Admins of vBulletin powered forums interested in search engine optimizing their content are invited to try the vBSEO demo at http://www.vbseo.com/demo/. The current demo is of version 2.4.5, but Crawlability says vBSEO 3.0 is just around the corner.

More information about Crawlability Inc. and vBSEO can be found on their website at http://www.vbseo.com

Crawlability Inc. is an Internet software company based in Puerto Rico that delivers search engine optimization solutions for 3rd party Web publishing systems such as forums and blogs. Launched in 2005, Crawlability's first software release, named vBSEO, is already helping thousands of vBulletin powered Web forums gain more visitors from search engines such as Google, Yahoo, & MSN.

here is a little info for those who don't think CRuls's are worth messing with...

Below a compilation of quotes from Google regarding Dynamic & Static URLs. See highlights in orange. Thanks Joe!

Info from Google.com Regarding Dynamic & Static URLs

http://www.google.com/ads/glossary.html
Search optimization. Tactics and techniques that make it easier for spiders to find your page, contributing to higher ranking on a list of search engine results. Basic optimization starts with listing relevant keywords in your metatags and building clear and descriptive words into page copy, title, text hyperlinks, and image file names. It's also important to design your site on a logical link structure and follow standard HTML conventions, avoiding the use of frames, dynamic URLs, Image Maps, and JavaScript for navigation.

http://www.google.com/webmasters/2.html
Your pages are dynamically generated. We're able to index dynamically generated pages. However, because our web crawler could overwhelm and crash sites that serve dynamic content, we limit the number of dynamic pages we index. In addition, our crawlers may suspect that a URL with many dynamic parameters might be the same page as another URL with different parameters. For that reason, we recommend using fewer parameters if possible. Typically, URLs with 1-2 parameters are more easily crawlable than those with many parameters.

http://www.google.com/webmasters/guidelines.html
If you decide to use dynamic pages (i.e., the URL contains a "?" character), be aware that not every search engine spider crawls dynamic pages as well as static pages. It helps to keep the parameters short and the number of them few.

http://www.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?answer=745
Consider creating static copies of dynamic pages. Although the Google index includes dynamic pages, they comprise a small portion of our index. If you suspect that your dynamically generated pages (such as URLs containing question marks) are causing problems for our crawler, you might create static copies of these pages. If you do, don't forget to add the dynamic pages to your robots.txt file to prevent us from treating them as duplicates.

http://www.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?answer=745 (Duplicate content)
Don't create multiple copies of a page under different URLs. Many sites offer text-only or printer-friendly versions of pages that contain the same content as the corresponding graphic-rich pages. In order to ensure that your preferred page is included in our search results, you'll need to block duplicates from our spiders using a robots.txt file. For information about using a robots.txt file, please visit http://www.google.com/remove.html

I am nearly spending at least 2-3 hours at vBSEO because i love that board. Everybody is trying to help each other , no stupid fights and no unnecessary information. There are tons of people who are trying to help each other expect the hard working staff. I know how busy they are because the sale numbers are going up and unfortunately noone bothers to read Readme.html or Search a thread. Thats why sometimes support is late but it only happens really rarely.

On the other hand lets talk about vBSEO which is a way better software then vBulletin. Of course it is funny because vBSEO cannot run without vBulletin

However a regular vBulletin board is like a phpbb next to a vbseo'd board. It is totally magic. If vbseo touches your board in a way , next year you won't be able to recognize the old days because you would be overhelmes with bots , new members , more cash

I disagree with you Bradon, their support good but not always. They usually spend more time find threads and giving a redirect link. When they can just give a short answer.

I as a paid cusotmer do not find it a good responce to say customer go to that thread or reply and read the solution. If i need to look around on their forums then for what am i payign $30 per year for??? huh, just upgrades ??? Which by the way they have been very lazy at... vB 3.6.3 Gold is out and they havent yet released vBSEO Gold...

seriously, have you used the search button ?
I'm not trying to pick on you but it seems you want 24/7 phone support that will answer every single question even if it's been answered already ?

vbseo development and vbulletin development do not rely on each other

The vbseo team has been working very well IMO about upgrades and improving the script. They have a very good pre-release team that test the new version and report back with any bugs.

The regular members went from version 2.4.5 to 3.0 rc5 or 6.. something like that, but the pre-release team and coders have been testing version 3.0.0 rc1m rc2m rc3m rc4, etc....

This isn't a very good reason to dislike them

They have a solid product that speaks for themselves, I'm sorry you think the support is bad but it really is the best support I've encountered, other then my current host, on the web in 5 years.

I recently went down to vbseo to have a look at their product, I'm sure VBSEO does increases abit of load for small sites, but sits with huge traffic its big no no, I know it does help and make urls friendly but at a cost.
On one of my recent site which is new recently bought and still working on it, I'm not sure whether to go with Vbseo or not since vb it self does most of all seo job like dynamic title, meta tags, etc. VBseo just re-writes urls??
Correct me If I'm wrong.

Yep you are wrong. vBulletin doesnot handle seo at all. vBulletin is creating duplicate links to same threads which is the worst seo senario ( showthread.php?p=xxx showthread.php?t=xxx printthread.php?t=xxx )
