H1 tag helps with SERP, this means you should position higher for a given search string.

I'll try this, thank you!

what's the meaning of $foruminfo[forumhTag]?

[CraiovaOnLine]

$foruminfo[forumhTag] - this will give the text you will put in here https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/attachment.php?attachmentid=77206&stc=1&thumb=1&d=
You can set there the text for the h1 tags on each forum (Edit Forum and you''ll find the box)

got it

[Illustrious]

And where do you go to edit the h-tag for each thread?

[Amenadiel]

why would you? just adding the code to the navbar template will do the trick.

It'd be nice if you could customize the h-tag per thread. Not all the thread titles are great for SEO.

[CraiovaOnLine]

how you suggest we do that?

A solution would be to edit the title of the thread

[red-dna]

is it possible to use the plugin and h1 tags but not to display it in the forum ?

[BuRaCh]

good hack;)

[ahmedeldeep]

does not work with 372 causes the WYSIWYG editor does not reflect the BB code changes
please update

You know for someone making an SEO MOD you sure are screwing with people's SEO,

Two weeks after I installed this MOD my forums dropped out of key spots in GOOGLE. After hours and hours of researching code I was able to find out this MOD was the reason.

He is embedding some junk hidden links in the footer.

$output = str_replace('</body>', '<center><a href="http://www.craiova-online.ro"><img src="http://e-vanzari.net/s1.gif" alt="Forum" border="0"></a></center></body>', $output);

If you want linkbacks that's fine, let people know. The fact that this was hidden (an apparently Google very much de-values your site) you completely screwed up my SEO rankings, so now I'm back trying to recover my positions lost.

Thanks for reporting this mindhunter77.

I am sorry, that should have been just a prank to somebody i know. I mixed up the files.

That also affected my rankings on Google , didn't figure out way until now.
I replaced the file with the corect one.

Also i will release a complete SEO pack for vb 3.7.x .

Once again i am sorry for the mistake

And for everyone's future reference, you do not need a plugin/modification to add these tags to your templates. You can do it with template edits, never install a modification that you do not have to.

[CraiovaOnLine]

ar you sure u can make what this mod does just with template edits ?
