Whoa, not so fast. I'm familiar with your position on rewriting URL's, but here is Google's Search Engine Optimization Starter Guide that doesn't support your views. Check in around the bottom of page 6 and read on.

"Creating descriptive categories and filenames for the documents on your website can not only help you keep your site better organized, but it could also lead to better crawling of your documents by search engines."

Interesting sentence, eh? And please note this particular Google document was released after the one you've linked. And rather than recommending against rewriting URL's, they are clearly stating it "could lead to better crawling of your documents".

Perhaps a search engine is effective at indexing pages with session I.D.'s and the like, but I prefer my user-friendly URL's being indexed for potential guests. Which is one of the advantages pointed out by dxlwebs.

As for the myths of unacceptable loads being placed on a server by using either Zoints or vBSEO and mod_rewrite, I have experience with both. Frankly, I witnessed more load by upgrading from vB 3.6 to 3.7 than in using either SEO package.

Of course none of this address the fact the Google Webmaster Central Blog uses 'pretty' URL's itself. Why do you suppose they bother, if it really makes no difference?

15 minutes of cookie timeout... Can I serve more users by changing this option? What will i have and what will I lost by using longer and shorter cookie timeout?

I think you've missed the distinction between rewriting URLs and brief descriptive filenames for web pages.

Is there a way to rewrite the forum title in the thread url as well?

I was going to do a little work on this, mainly to attempt to solve the 'no cookies, infinite redirect loop' issues. Do you have a list of what you fixed? Also, did the "no input file specified" issue get dealt with?

Edit: I don't believe that you can redistribute original vBulletin files either (tags.php), you have to explain the edits needed.

right now im still going through all the bugs and doing what i can i will fix the redirect loop tomorrow :D

as for the tags.php file i havetaken that out and hopefully fixed the tags problem through a template edit instead

you can go through the programe and see if i have missed anything the vbadvanced cms still does not work!

i have just uploaded a new version which addresses some problems with the site map and so on!

mainly i have gone through all the corrections made by the community and added it all straight into the install file so that it works out of the box i am now at the end of that LONG LIST and now will start going through the problems that have not been fixed and try to sort them and please do help this is a community mod everyone is welcome to help i just had some time on my hands and thought i would give it a go plus i love problem solving :D

I believe it had something to do with the showthread_start plugin, it's the only one that touches anything to do with cookies. I'd have to go back and look at my notes, I haven't taken a look at it in a bit now.

Can i use the two products Vbseo and ZointsSEO in the same forum without any problem ?

That would be rather pointless as they both do basically the same thing.
