Hello,
Well I really like the idea of the mod here and feel it can give us the edge in getting many of our pages indexed by the search engines.

I have one request though.
Can you code it to where the Title of each thread would be inserted in the header with <h1> tags?

Heres an example page that I believe is using you mod. His thread title is: KeyHunt back up, and better than ever!!! (if this title was using <h1> tag it would be great.
http://www.keyhunt.com/forum/showthread.php?t=2369


The header on this thread would be <h1>SEO - Forum Specific Keyword Meta Tags for vBulletin </h1>

This would add that extra punch to get picked up and rank well for many titles.

I normally use this for my header tags: <h1><font size="2" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">Your Heading Goes Here</font></h1>

We would also need a way to set the font smaller in this header tag.

Any ideas? Can this be done?

Thank you,

Greg

I need some time to document the changes but see if what I did with my Archive page here and see if that is what you had in mind...

http://www.mustangreview.com/forums/archive/index.php/

Note: The archive code is a very different kind of hack but you will notice I got the basics working... I got burried with other projects so I never finished working on that part of this... but the description in this is a little more complicated to get working...

There is no doubt that this has helped...

You can also see it working on my other forum here:

vbulletin,forum,bbs,discussion,jelsoft,bulletin board
This is a discussion forum powered by vBulletin. To find out about vBulletin, go to http://www.vbulletin.com/ .


there is your keywords and description that shows up when I view your page info, so it isn't working for the archive.

well, I thought this was to customize the forum description and keywords to fit the specific forums....

is this not the case?

Correct, the main forums work fine if you look at the forums (Quarterbore.net) ... I thought the question Treasure Quest was asking above was in regards to getting the forum title to show up in <h1> header tags... That is what I am doing in my archives... Two different problems....

Like I said above, I have not spent the time to work out the archive hack needed to replace the description and keywords in the archive (yet)... Of cource, perhaps I didn't understand what was being asked and perhaps he meant to include this <h1> instide an HTML Head tag but I fail to see how that is good coding?

more tools to keep my site on top with search engines :D

Thanks for the nice hack, this hack will work great for the first time (first few weeks) laster create problems) this is my personal assumption please confirm.

EXCELLENT HACK! A+

I was having problems with my GoogleAdsense, however with this hack I can target specific adverts in their subject forum. Almost too perfect! Now to implement a sexy 'built-in" system to the forums and mod a bunch of keywords.

I will post my success or otherwise in a few weeks.

Great hack. I tried to install it on my boards but since I have VBadvanced it is interferring with the tag generation. Is there any chance you can do a work around for this. I would hate to have to remove VBadvanced.

Also the idea for thread title being included in <h1></h1> tags is awesome. It would add an additional pow to this mod.

Jaks :)

Amazing hack i would love to see this ported to vb3.5 :)
