Awesome mod, also works with 3.7.x btw ;)

the folks over at vbseo had this to say.

We don't suggest using this mod as it breaks vBSEO's main purpose Link Consensus

Any comments?

I put this query I can now say that the pages you open, not only am I being translated

where I am wrong, help thanks:confused::confused::confused:

if someone can see my problem, so you realize apologies for not knowing write English well demo

I think you're referring to me, but I'd like to know the details as well. Would it be as simple as putting in some rewrite rules?

Just want to say that I'm proud of my new and first very own mod :D

Just made today - this one will automatically tag posts according to content, title and existing tags in forum:
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=218350

So for every one who like my support here - enjoy :D

PS.
Still support this one ;)

Who helps me to please not I who has to make it work where I can say I'm wrong by 4 days that I try and try but still unable to get to work through it.........

thanks thanks

hmm...this mod looks perfect for my site but I am going to wait to see how the vBSEO issue develops....

Right, so adding normal threads in English breaks link consensus?

Adding any content does in their eyes, so should you stop altogether?

You have to break link consensus in order to grow your forum normally or via translated pages.

Pages you should avoid in order to gain link consensus are contact, about or privacy pages.

I'm not sure you or them understands the point.

Hmmmmm.

Use the flag code I provided, otherwise I wont support you.

I don't understand your points???

I think what vBseo is concerned about is duplicate content, not 100% sure, but that's the only thing that comes to mind is being penalized by Google. link

Instead of getting so defensive why don't you log in there and ask them directly.

A lot of people here use their software so it's to your benefit I would think.


Don't get me wrong I like your mod a lot.


.

If you don't understand what you are posting or talking about then why post it?

First you mention link consensus and now duplicate content, with NO facts.

Stop spreading your FUD. None of these issues apply here.

Now you tell me to run along and ask them? You do it if your concerned, didn't you already? I don't have any doubts so I will pass on asking their advice thanks, they know SEO no better than anyone else.

How can translated pages be duplicate? They are original content, translated, so are still original and no different to your current content, except in various other languages, it's not rocket science.

Link consensus is the theory that by linking to junk pages you are wasting link juice, junk pages are things like tag pages, contact pages etc. Not thread pages, these are content rich and should be included in you site above anything else.

I have been doing SEO 5+ years, own vBSEO and have been using this MOD years too. I get 10,000's of visits daily from it.

Clearly you have been around 5 minutes, this idea has been used for years, there are countless wordpress versions, amongst others, from many other coders. Just because this is new to you and as a vB plugin doesn't mean it hasn't been around ages and tested to death.

Where are your facts? Where is your evidence to backup your claims?

Hey Dave are you always this arrogant?

You're doing your self a dis-service

So just because I don't agree with you I'm arrogant?

I'm just stating my case, you questioned my MOD and stated yours, so then it is my go no?

That's how a discussion/debate works.

Next time I suggest you research your claims before stating them, otherwise you do yourself a dis-service also, right now ppl with even the smallest amount of SEO knowledge are pointing at you, and laughing.

Kind regards.

Ok, so I took the plunge and the translation is working.

I have had to disable it for now though as every translation takes 30 seconds. Great mod though :)

Because translation has to be sent to the Google Translate API and then stored in the MySQL DB it takes a small amount of time first time.

So second page load is fast, as your site gets cached, page load speeds become a non-issue.

Hi,
i think this is no duplicated content, as long as you take out your own language.

So “?hl=en” should be working but if Google recommend “/en/” this might be better.
Try to work together with the Stuff of vBSEO and try to figure out how to add some rules for that Mod to meet the Google recommendations. My experiences are, that they have a really good support.
Christian

Ok, thanks for the explanation :)

With nearly 200,000 indexed Google pages I guess that'll take a while... lol!

Cheers.

I was talking on the Google message boards and they said that different languages doesn't count as duplicate content :)

This guy has a 2k alexa rank and is running the wordpress version.

Probably getting anything around 100,000 visits a day.

100,000's of indexed translated pages too.

Clearly they are not complaining.

Right, but imagine you added 1000,000's of normal threads overnight, these would take months to index too, so it's no different.

You install the mod and leave it, it takes no work, what is there to lose exactly? :)

Completely agree.

sorry the code talk which are not very experienced thanks

Correct. :up:

Has anyone used this with vBSEO?

I do not know really what to do, I am here Blocked

please help me thanks

I'm using it with vbSEO - works fine :)

Disable cache first, so you will know is this some cache issue. If after that it works then PM to me - I support cache issues in this mode. Otherwise call Dave :)

100's are using this with vBSEO. Why, what is your query? :)

Does this work with zoints?

if not can you explain what i need to do to get it to work.

if it works with VBSEO rewritten urls i dont see why it cant work with zoints.

100's ? it has an install count of 55, where does 100's come from ?

<removed>

how many people click install?? i know i never do

Did you miss the download numbers?

File Type: %1$s vBGT v2.0.zip (64.7 KB, 105 downloads)
File Type: %1$s vBGT v2.2.zip (26.6 KB, 45 downloads)
File Type: %1$s vBGT v2.3.zip (26.6 KB, 70 downloads)
File Type: %1$s vBGT v2.4.zip (26.5 KB, 61 downloads)

Also v1 was in an old thread, plenty of d/l there too.

Getting ready to try this on Tuesday or Wednesday. I am running VB 3.8.3 with vbSEO 3.3.0.

I have a forum with 300k messages 30k threads and 50k users.

Is the software designed to handle that type of load and are there any installation tips you might suggest?

Thanks for what looks like a really cool application.

One of my forums is around that and it runs just fine, on a site that big I would use an if condition and just show the flags on showthread pages, that will mean only the real good content gets translated and that you DB doesn't get too big and full of tag and member pages which bring little traffic anyway. Good luck.

Thanks Dave, can you give me an idea as to what the syntax would be for the conditional? I am pretty sure that I can follow the installation instructions, but I am unclear the proper way to do the conditional. I was planning on putting it in the header like the example link above.

Thanks,
Dave

Replace that with the one in the install guide.

I have no questions as such, but I was just thinking about the url rewrites, are they also going to be rewritten in that new language?

It's pretty hard to do, no such thing as Chinese urls for example...

However translated pages have a new url, new meta tags and new content.

Thanks Dave!

I'm trying to use this great addon but can't get the links to show up. It works when I add the "?hl=XXX" string manually.

I'm using PHP 5.3 running as FastCGI. And I recognized that the mechanism to fetch the appropriate language links is a little bit odd - could some of the URL rewriting stuff you do in "translateflags.php" be broken in PHP 5.3?
