Well,

I'm using this just for a couple of days, and here is my results:

Sitemap 19 Nov 2009
Total Indexed URLs: 287802

Sitemap 22 Nov 2009
Total Indexed URLs: 2970999

My forum has now indexed 10 times more pages.
Lets see how google deals with it :)

cheers

In that case sorry:) I didn't saw this - I will take a look and answer.

For those who like to see my discussion with vBSEO staff just look under the link :)

In few words - they have only personal issue about Google translation quality and no business reason and in my opinion they are acting against good business of their clients.

There is one think which is real argue. They clearly point vBET 3.x as much better to use because vBET 2.x does not support URL translation, but thanks that we have vBET 3.x so anybody who really wants have everything perfect (+ others great features) can go for vBET 3.x :)

Really good stuff :)

Yes - simply edit your templates and add:
(not tested - just put from hand)

But really I see no sense of avoiding of showing adsense for translated pages.

And the second one - also for detail go there.

In few words - the man tolds weeeery stupid things. I don't know how someone who claims himself of being SEO expert doesn't understand that having content in different languages gives you more traffic.

As I wrote - details are there and here only one think to remind what is the TRUTH - I really cannot tell why vBSEO team is lying their own clients - if they are not lying it means that they have no idea about SEO and translations and in such case they shouldn't make official statements about "how it is" cause this is also a lie. But lucky me I have such great users as you who can show the true :):

Also please note, that I show those results to some vBSEO stuff before. Make your own opinion about that...

Seems many threads are more than 5000 characters in length - often 3 times as much ...

Looks like I have been blocked by Google and am trying to find out why. I have the Google logo in the bottom of the screen and have made sure cache is updated until now.

I don't think Google blocked you because of the length of a post. The software breaks the queries up into smaller chucks.

Just post the link to your website and we will attempt to tell you why you Google has blocked you.

Google's basic policy is "Do No Harm"....maybe your website has other problems?

This is the testforum xxx - it is a fresh copy of the real forum (have temporarily disabled the mod on the real forum xxx).

I agree completely. I read that post and was really shocked by the complete falsehood (lie) posted by marco at vbSEO. His post was an utter and complete lie. In most civil courts in the world, he would be liable to you and your business for such a statement. He better be careful, because you have so many customers who can speak for you otherwise.

I know for a fact that translations are important for the world. Machine translations, while not perfect, bring people closer together. Translations help people all over the world find information they might not normally find. Translations are an absolute blessing. They are the future of the Internet.

Always remember... the purpose of machine language translations is not SEO. This is wrong. The purpose of machine translation is to make your unique content available to the world. You are not optimizing search engines, you are making more content available for global users.

If you use a machine language package with only SEO in mind, you are making a big mistake, IMHO. Translation is about making information available, not SEO. If you get more traffic because information is available in many languages (and you will !!), that is because you have unique content available for many users and languages globally.

Be Responsible and Be a Good Internet Citizen. Do No Harm.
