How Am I Doing?


PolitiCity - Political Debate Forums

I changed my header to an image, fixed the title, and installed the Google/Yahoo sitemap generator. For the sitemap mod I made the following changes:

Include Show Post Pages: No
Include Archive Pages: No

I also set "Display Simple View of Threads" to "No" in vBulletin Options>Search Engine Friendly Archive.

Any more tips? What else should I be doing?

(Btw, I don't want to spend money on vbSEO yet.)

Start building backlinks, try using some linkbait.

Re: How Am I Doing?


I read the article on linkbaiting, but I'm still a little confused. Would my forum's blog count of linkbaiting? I've written some controversial articles.

Do you have links in the articles that linkback to your site?

Re: How Am I Doing?


I thought the point of linkbaiting was that they link to you?

That is true, but it's a double-edged sword. If you don't have any outgoing links, no one will ever find your articles that you want them to link to.

Its good to get the articles out there, then let the word spread after you've at least spread the word a bit. Once you get successful with that, you won't need to do as much promotion yourself to get articles linked, because people will come to you to find them.

Ok, I gotcha

And a little question: If I bought vbSEO, do I still need Google/Yahoo sitemap generator?

Are you talking about the add-on that vBSEO makes?

I've got it installed, and it doesn't hurt since it's free. I've got it sending my sitemap nightly to google, Probably a bit overkill, but thats the default time increment.

Yes, that's what I'm talking about. I didn't know it was an add-on, because you don't need vbSEO to run it.

Re: How Am I Doing?


the vbseo sitemap product is free and can run with or without vbseo

the vseo product is $150 and can run with or without the sitemap product, altho it's recommended to use the sitemap as well.

About the link baiting, can you link to some of these blog post you might think are good linkbait material and we'll see if we can help with the format.

Are you a member at any other political blogs that allow you to post a link to your site ?
