Re: How many SEO mods are available?

the only one you should think about is

everything else is free

mod_rewrite hacks or edits

Zoints SEO - vBulletin.org Forum

vBulletin mod_rewrite - PHP

here is a little info about the above links that Brent had posted

some other mods that can help on-site seo

vBSEO Google/Yahoo Sitemap Generator for vBulletin 3.6.x, 3.5.x & 3.0.x - vBulletin.org Forum
vBSEO Conditional Signatures - Search Engine Optimization Plugin - vBulletin.org Forum
Zoints Thread Tags - GREAT for SEO - vBulletin.org Forum


These are just template edits

two simple template mods for vBulletin SEO - vBulletin SEO Forums

I suggest using vbseo, but no, it isn't required.

Well I don't have the $150 to spare right now. So if I needed something now that was free, which would you reccomend?

Re: How many SEO mods are available?

be carefull with this kind of stuff. If you have many pages indexed, means each url changes and search engines has to start over. Vbseo does use redirects if I'm correct to not loose ranking but for example Zoints doesn't

plus if you ever don't want or can renew vbseo license....

for me it is once you start your stuck with the one you choose like marriage, divorce will be painful.

Re: How many SEO mods are available?

I'll use url-rewrite only when vb has it as standard feature (I use it for example on Gallery since they implement it)

Never know if a third party product will be discontinued ... what do you do then ... It happened to me in the past with non critical components but each time you have quite a lot of work to solve/change things.

And with url rewrite you loose all work with search engines if you change url structure.

Re: How many SEO mods are available?

I wouldn't be using vbseo if I didn't think they would be around for years to come

I know this already. I am starting a new forum and wanted an inexpensive way to get url rewrite. I opted for Zoints. They DO have 301 redirect using .htaccess file.

Thanks for your time Brandon.

Re: How many SEO mods are available?

I tested out Zoints for a bit, and switched to vBSEO instead. Mostly due to the support they give.

Here is a couple more free mods that can help SEO:
NuHIT URLs: Add rel=nofollow and control where links are opened - vBulletin.org Forum
External Link Titles, retrieve descriptive titles for URLs - vBulletin.org Forum
