SEO Mods

Is there a mod out for VB that rewrites the dynamic links to static html links? I am aware of vbSEO, but I do not want to spend $1XX. Also the sitemap mod (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=100435&page=1&pp=15&highlight=mod+rewrite) for VB 3.5.3, is it worth it? Does it work as described? How is upgrading when you have the mod? Do you have to go thru each file and copy and paste when upgrading etc...

I am kind of warry of installing these mods, #1: because I upgrade frequently and do not want the process to take hours. #2: a good amount of sites link to my forum and various topics, I do not want to loose those links.

Can anyone give some comments or insight, Please!

The sitemap mod requires nothing when upgrading vBulletin. It's a plugin and doesn't require any template edits.

Thanks, and are there any mod_rewrite type mods of VB 3.5.3, besides VBSEO?

There are at least two others here on this site. Search for SEO...

One was coded by Dean and the other is called vBRewrite, I prefer dean's though.

Thanks, are they both like the sitemap mod? Will they make upgrading any harder for me? My forum (www.exotixboard.com) also has a fully custom skin, if that complicates anything.
