Hi,

I was wondering how I can change the URLs on my forum from PHP to HTML. Any help on this is greatly appreciated.

Also, I was wondering if anyone has used VBSEO and what you think about it. Does it realy work is it just a waste of money? Should I be good to go if I can change the URLs from PHP to HTML?

Thanks for the help.

They don't change from PHP to HTML. They are still coded in PHP. You are referring to the URLs, you want "human-readable" URLs. vBSEO does have this feature.

Thanks for the reply. I understand that they are still coded in PHP, but it displays them as if it was in HTM or HTML, right??

I realy just need search engine friendly URLs. The only reason I switched from SMF to VB was because I noticed most of my competitors have it and their forum ranks very high in the search engines. I'm not sure if "human-readable" is the same as "search engine friendly".

Any input as far as VBSEO?

Thanks.

Anything you can see in your browser window is HTML. ;)

I have not used vBSEO so I cannot comment myself.

vbSEO is supposed to be very helpful and people who have used it have reported higher indexing correctness and as a result, better statistics, but regular vBulletin is indexed pretty well if you ask me...I personally have not tried vbSEO but I am amazed at how much google searches have my site indexed in high positions for some general search words.

Changing pagenames from .php to .html will not make any difference on S.E. ranking.
