Yeah, I have to say I'm very impressed and I'm usually a pretty skeptical person. I do wish I had some more Yahoo! clicks but I'll work on that.

My vBSEO Experience after 30+ days.

F-Body Online - Camaro and Firebird Forums has been running since Nov. 1st 2006, and we had been slowly creeping up in stats and SERP’s during that time as we grew our member base to about 175 users. Then I bit the bullet and bought vBSEO in August and installed it on August 15th. I have been using Google Analytics for quite some time so it has helped me to see where vBSEO could possibly be helping/hurting the site.

Let me begin by saying I am not an affiliate and don’t use their affiliate system, so this is not to get you to buy it so I receive a cut of the money, but IT IS WORTH THE MONEY from everything I’ve seen first hand from F-Body Online.

Since August 15th our stats have doubled in pageviews and unique visits per month, and tripled our Search Engine generated traffic from Google, Yahoo!, Live, MSN, and others. We’ve gone from 175 members to 217 in just over a month which is our largest member growth yet. Visitors who find us are also sticking around longer with our pages per visit going from 3.03(7/15-8/14) to 7.01(8/15-9/14) which usually means people are finding what they want when they visit.

So there it is; my experience in just 1 month with vBSEO. I’ve got other basic search engine optimization tricks on the site, but nothing that can’t be done on any other forum.

Looks great Rocket

I'd say I'm doing pretty well for the size of my site, its age, and the competition.

Still got a lot of work to do though.


But I am happy I'm slowly moving up for some solid terms

That's great, however how much effort are you making on getting backlinks?

To be honest. absolutely nothing.

Haven't paid a cent for any links, and really haven't gotten many backlinks. If I did, I'm sure I'd have even better results.

Even with lack of effort you got over 2700 backlinks in yahoo!

That's still not that many, especially when you look at some of the competition I'm going against. I started the site knowing there was a bunch of big forums already, but I didn't let that stop me. If you make somewhere that people like and optimize it a tad you'll more than likely be successful.

vBSEO review - 2 months

vBSEO seems to be helping. Especially with Yahoo! this past month.
