It pays for my car, and a good majority of my mortgage. From one forum.

Prior to vbseo, my forum income barely covered my gas for the week.

IMO, I'll never run another forum without it. It paid for itself in just a couple hours.

+ it increased our pages in google to like 57k and increased our referrals from 3 to like 25%

- i had to upgrade our server because vbseo was slowing it down

I wish I hadn't had those adsense click spikes after installing vBSEO back when it first came out.. I'd LOVE to be harnessing the power of vBSEO like you are Brian. :)

I would recommend VBSEO as well, although there is an alternative as well ZOINTS SEO...

Zoints Seo is better haha because it is forever free :)

I had over 50,000 posts on my site and was unranked in google. I added vbseo and within a month was ranked top 1000. I am at 100,000 posts now and for my main keywords I rank in the top 20 and still working on getting higher. VBSEO is 100% worth the money, it isn't fake and their are hundreds of success stories. Now it won't replace bad content or no content, but if you have it, it does wonders.

I also agree that it without a doubt is the only, and I mean only feasible thing for the vast majority of people looking for SEO for their forum.

I personally went from double digit revenues to almost 4 digit revenues in a very short amount of time from the traffic that it was driving me. Pays my rent every month, plus site costs, plus all the stuff I give away.

Reading the first post, i am not sure if he is interested in SEO at all. All he is asking for is static URL's.

With VBSEO free sitemap generator https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthrea...hlight=sitemap you can create a precise sitemap and upload it to Google + excluding everything else in robots.txt. What else is needed ??

The only advantage I can see the VBSEO package offers besides this are static URL's with content, however I believe this advantage is rather small anyway...

Have I missed something ?

You have indeed. :)

vBSEO provides lots more than just CRU (Content Relevant URLs).

For one, it has an internal HTML cleaner that removes comments from your html, making pages smaller, filesize-wise.

For another, it consolidates the links to your threads/posts etc, by using ONE LINK, rather than the multiple links to the same thing that vBulletin comes with by default. This concentrates PageRank to that URL, rather than spreading it across the multiple URLs.

For yet another, it can automatically define image height= and width= attributes. This makes pages load faster, as your browser knows how to place the images.

There is a lot more that vBSEO can do.. perhaps you could have a look at the demo. http://www.vbseo.com/demo . :)

I am going to get it when the GOLD version comes out, which is soon.
