If you believe the program is worth it and it serves your purpose, then does it really matter what anyone else thinks in the long run? ;) |

Dare I assume that most of the "No"s are from people who havn't used it?
Anyway, are you guys specifically asking about SEO in general, or this particular product? I see both in your arguments. Me? I havn't used it, but it looks great, and everyone I've talked to who has used it, is glad they did. If my board wasn't more of a hobby site with low traffic, I would definitely try it out. For now, it's not worth it. |
A few of the no's are from those that HAVE used it. ;)
And if I recall correctly, Dean C. released a version of this for free that supposedly will do the same thing or close to it. ;) |

If I am right, vBSEO basically does URL rewriting - which is what other Hacks (like DC SEO or vBRanking) do as well. |
Quote:
The list goes on. It takes 5 minutes to install and requires no knowledge of modrewrite. Call me lazy, whatever, but time = money and time is not on my side this semester. 150 dollars got me what I wanted and even more. I actually tried Deans hack before I bought vbseo and found it to be very limiting compared to the options vbseo gives me. |
Yeah, so it might be a bit simpler then DIY rewrites - but basically it's just that: URL rewriting (like you acknowledged yourself).
But you're right, time is money - so it might be worth it :) |

same with the google site-map :p these are both free. really the things i don't like about vbseo is one the price obviously, but really more that that is the hidden code. maybe one of the beta testers or a paying member can answer this.. if vbseo goes down for some reason, wont the links in google that point to your site like www.mysite.com/forums/vbseo-thread-a.html not work ? if I'm correct ( which i may be wrong ) don't u have to register your site with vbseo or something for the script to work ? seems like there would have to be allot of trust to spend so much when knowing it could be for nothing if vbseo.com were to disappear :ermm: |

loco i know that u have almost 7 Parked Domains to locoforum if u are use vBSEO then make sure all other Parked Domains you have will not work .. people who visit your site from your other domain name will get error page :mad: |

If vbseo goes down, my site does not, my site continues to function and my site continues to rewrite urls. |
Boofoo thanks for being tolerant. Your right, there is no reason for cursing.
Folks - buy it if you want. I dont think it will hurt you to have it (as far as SEO). I just do not believe it does what it promises. Most people I have talked to believe that vBSEO wll make their pages 'Search Engine Friendly" and Get them indexed by search engines and get them ranked higher in the google search engine results. vBSEO's own site says: Quote:
Quote:
Look - I stand to gain nothing either way. Actually, thats not true. I could support and recommend this hack and be an affilliate and make a commission from the sales. vBseo would probably promote vBulletin Webmaster in return too. I simply do not believe in this product. I think its overpriced and I think it plays on people's misunderstanding or lack of understanding of Search Engines. Basically, I think the product @ $149 is taking advantage of vBulletin owners who have only a desire for their forums to do better and grow larger, but dont understand search engines. vBulletin, is just fine out of the box as far as SEO. There are some tweaks that can be made to improve things and further make your site unique, but overall its pretty good out of the box. This product wont enhance your ability to get indexed faster or indexed more. Nobody has provided any proof that it does. I on the other hand have provided alot of evidence to demonstrate that non-vbseo'd can be and are indexed and ranked just fine. I ask again - someone give me PROOF. Is there anyone here who was poorly ranked on google who is now page 1? Believe me folks, there is no magic pill. There is not SEO HACK that you can simply plug in and - BAM - your at the top of the search engine results. It just doesnt work that way. SEO isnt an exact science and is ever changing. Now, vBSEO does do some things that are helpful, such as the Google Sitemap, (btw, that hack is why your being indexed more I believe, not the mod rewrite portion) but those are hacks that are free anyway. The mod_rewrite, if your insistant on having it, is available free (Dean C did a good job coding that one) If you want to know what kinds of things you can do to improve SEO, im more then willing to help people, for free. (Although your welcome to toss $150 at me if you like :D) However, I am only going to point you in the right direction, most of the things you need to do to be ranked well in Google and other search engines has more to do with what you do off site or things vBSEO cant do for you, like having good content on your site and an active membership. Brent als made another good point. SEO can only help bring people to your site. If you dont keep them thats on you. |
I bought it because I can afford it and the URLs look cool. 'nuff said.

know you see this ? ============= About Parked Domains if u dont no what Parked Domains it is hard to explain to u .. but here is very short You have www.yoursite500.com and you have www.yoursite600.com and if u have vBSeo regisiter to www.yoursite500.com then www.yoursite600.com will not work with vBSEO i dont no but that from what i understand from a few user that have vbseo. hope this explain to u good :nervous: |
Okie, that was resolved, and wasn't due to their site being down. It was because I didn't have my license number in my config file.
And yes parked domains work fine. Please don't speak about subjects with which you have no experience. |

Now you see that? Why didn't you post the whole thread with the resolution in it? I bet I know why. Quote:

VBSeo is encrypted?

Yes, its encrypted.
Anyone know if it still link bombs Google for the keywords "Search Engine Optimisation" to vbseo's site? |

It is not beta, stop calling it beta. Christ. You take the chance with any product you buy. |

Hmmm -- Question -- when you move a thread and leave a redirect - does the redirect link still work? |
Quote:

Also, using the Thread Tools to merge threads by specifying the URL to another thread, etc. |

Dunno. Must be a separate problem on their site, because it works on mine.
http://www.fireblades.org/forums/off-topic/ "New Car Help", for example. |
Just something I noticed is all.

Meh, not sure if I shall get it.
I don't really like how the thread links are displayed, the username links are pretty cool but the main reason is I don't really have $150 to spend on it as of yet. Maybe someone is willing to donate? Haha, jokes. |
Being able to afford it is one thing. The bee in my bonnet is that people think that if they install this hack, they'll gain alot of ground in the search engines. Thats really just not true IMO. At least not because of the mod-rewrite portion of the hack.
vBSEO has already admitted that the mod_rewrite is not necessary to get pages indexed. Yet advertises differently on his website. I dont like the contridiction. - |
Quote:
Yet, I should add that the comment is taken out of context. However, I don't see anything wrong with saying that mod_rewrite is not necessary to get pages indexed. |
