Best SEO Module for vB 3.8.x

[cozmin]

I am searching a powerful SEO Module for my Vb 3.8.x forum, must be free .

What are you using and what can you suggest ?

YaBBSEO Lite Version is good and free
If you really want your forum to take off, then I suggest vBSEO. However, that's a paid modification, but does a heck for your forums.

Zoints SEO is useless and doesn't rewrite enough URL's to warrant the use of.

I recommend YaBBSEO Lite or vBSEO

Guys, i want a free module. I have some problems with YabbSEO and i don't get any support.

Here's my problem:

Hello, i have a problem with this mod, i uploaded all the files to my root , added the xml product but when i am trying to access a forum section i get a 404 error.

What i done wrong ? Thanks.

You should be asking in the modification thread but, try uploading the htaccess file your supposed to upload for rewrites to work.

You need to set the rewriting option to what you need. If you've set it to mod_rewrite of URL's, did you add the text that is required into the .htaccess file on the forum root?

That's the problem, i don't understand what i should add. This is the content from httacces

Options +FollowSymLinks
# Comment the following line (add '#' at the beginning)
# to disable mod_rewrite functions.
RewriteEngine On
# Please note: RewriteBase is the path of your forum
# to your root vB installation (i.e. / or /forums without ending slash / if it is a subdirectory)
RewriteBase /

RewriteRule ^sitemap\.xml$ sitemap.php [L]

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} (admincp|modcp|clientscript|cpstyles|images)/
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ $1 [L]

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d

RewriteRule ^(.*)$ yabbseo.php?bbseourl=$1&%{QUERY_STRING} [L]

You add that yes. make a htaccess.txt file with those contents. Upload to your forum root. then rename it to .htaccess

I cannot use this SEO module because i am using lighttpd.

You have to ask in that modification thread :)
