Thanks a lot!

Do you have a solution for the "=" issue at the end of the links?

The URLs you showed uses vBulletin's Friendly URL library, DBSEO doesn't allow for = at the end of links I don't think.

I can't assist with issues in vB's friendly URL library unfortunately :(

We have 700k posts in our forum, when I submitted a sitemap, it says only 100k+ were only submitted. How come that happened?

The other posts are most likely in forums where guests do not have the permission to view thread contents.

All posts are visible to guests. I just double checked.. ANy other possible cause?

Are you looking at submitted or indexed threads?

It's not advised to submit both posts and threads, and it's not advised to submit individual posts as the threads provide more context than posts do. vB4 also does not provide a dedicated "view individual post" page, so by including posts you are generating a lot of duplicate content.

Hello! I went though the tags list in the mod and deleted the ones that were nothing... which was like 90% of them. Then I added a lot of words to the keywords list.

After that I did the "add tags" under "manage content tags" and it showed the first 250 items processing, but never progressed anywhere. So I did the "reset tags" feature, also under "manage content tags".
I still can't get the add tags tool to progress.. No matter how many content items per page I put, or how short of a date range I put it just sits on those items. Some times it will show "processing complete - proceed" at the bottom, but if it click it, it still doesn't move on to the next set or anything.
Thanks!

I spent a lot of time with the tags functionality because it seemed like a really useful feature that I wanted to leverage. I applied tags then I deleted them with the reset option as you did. It all worked properly for me in terms of the mechanics of applying and removing tags but the problem was once tags were applied, it resulted in an enormous amount of database activity, which I believe had to deal with the Tag Cloud functionality in VBulletin. I ended up trying a few things to address that. I changed some parameters to reduce the number of tags in the cloud, I tried to narrow down which subforums had tags applied, but nothing I did actually worked. The symptom that consistently appeared is that posts would temporarily disappear in threads. I think the excess of database activity somehow caused the post index to get corrupted. I tried to get support and in general have found DragonByte to be very good from that perspective but in this case in the end they weren't able to help me. I ended up having to turn this off. I have a pretty big/busy forum. It might work with a forum that has a smaller database and less activity.

Yeah the tagging feature will re-tag every single thread which can lead to a very bloated DB with slow searches if you have an absolutely massive amount of threads.

As for the lack of progress, that could be a PHP timeout. Make sure display_errors is turned on in php.ini :)
