Can any one tell me what is a good hack for 3.6.5 will do the job? Also it will be really a good help if you can tell me where to find it

Zoints SEO, and vRewrite both work from my knowledge...

hello
where can I get any of them from???

thanks

hello
Zoints SEO did not change my forum url from php format to html!!!

You will need to have the correct code in your .htaccess and make sure that mod_rewrite is enabled on your server.

i do hello have the correct data in the .htaccess file in fact, it only have changed the threads url. I did not change the forum url /vb/forumdisplay.php?f=10 this should have been changed but it did not!!! what should i do here?

thanks

This isn't a support thread for Zoints SEO, post in the thread. Also, just a note, if you're using it to get better rankings in SE's, don't bother.

use what the professionals use. http://vbseo.com ;)

hello
dear Loco vbseo if not free :) i think they are asking for too much. $140 man thats way too much for a single prodect even though it is very will programed and it does the job perfectly.

I really nead a prodect to change my url pages from php format to html just so google search will not ignore the links because they are dynamic urls.

thanks

Google doesn't ignore them....Do some research.

I cannot comment on the price of this product because generally, and sadly the best products often cost the best (not all, vBulletin owns UBB Threads). But I will say that Google does not lower your rankings or ignore links because the URLs are dynamic or the pages are in PHP/ASP/CFML/SHTML. Otherwise this site and many other vB forums such as my own would not have a single page in Google, and the link wouldn't work when you are clicked on it in the seach results. This thing seems to be a common myth, and someone on Sitepoint addressed it here:

also, read the part here about Google not indexing dynamic pages, it's a myth:

Sorry, just have to comment on this....

Your statement is not entirely accurate. The SEs do not ignore links because they are dynamic. My brand new forum is ranked in the top ten for my primary and very competitive keywords on all the major SEs. I have no form of external SEO applications installed.

Don't get sucked into all the SEO hype. Spend your time building keyword rich content. Create a site around your forums... There is no "quick fix" for rankings.

Here's a good read: http://www.theadminzone.com/forums/s...ad.php?t=20404

I own vbSEO and I think it's well worth the $140. :) It does a lot more than just rewrite your URL's. My indexed pages in every major search engine more than tripled, for one, and my overall organic traffic went way up. And if you run Ads, we all know what more traffic brings.
