Thanks Teck,
works a treat, within 12 hours had lots of crawlers scanning the forums :D

All I've got to do now is work out the best way to alter {imagefolder} currently it's set to /forums/images/
and the vBbutton is incorrect. http://www.mysite.com/forums//forums.../vb_bullet.gif

All Sorted..

Are html pages zipped as vb pages are?

If you ask if they are compressed with zlib, the answer is YES, if you have it enabled onto your vBulletin options.
There is no difference between the actual thread and the .html page.

Very nice & useful hack. Thank you TECK.

I installed it yesterday and now I'm just waiting on the spiders to visit. :)

how long does it take ?

To install the hack or for the spiders to visit?

To install the hack: 10 minutes or so.

For the spiders to visit: Depends on the search engine I think.

:)

Teck,

Would seem you have outdone yourself yet again. :)

We have been working on some heavy SEO in the last 8 weeks and have started to get some great results out of Google. My SEO ace has always said that link poularity and CONTENT were key points in getting good rankings and as Google is due to dance today, I suddenly thought about this hack of yours and I link it will serve us proud. Our archive:

http://www.hostnexus.com/forum/archive/

I think I will link to it from our [url=http://hostnexus.com/home/sitemap.htm]SiteMap[/url. Would you think that would be best so the bots get there? I mean, is it pointless linking to it from the forum home page?

As long as you do the first 3 steps related to forum optimizations, you are ok...
A text link will always help.

what about google ?
