Dont Buy VBSEO
if u are going to buy vBseo dont buy it. When you pay the money they doesnt send you download link or instructions and they never reply your tickets,mails etc. I'm going to take legal action against Crawlability. There is too many ppl like me at vbseo forums.

That's some nice work there Lou. Why not complain over at VBSEO forums where it might actually make a difference.
Good luck! |
until now?
|
I love VBSEO
|
i share it here coz its biggest vbulletin forum here so i can prevent others get ....ed. I make an thread in vbseo forums. and no one answers.
|
I have it and love it. They always respond to my inquiries... and I paid for them to install it. It was installed within 2 days. No complaints here about VBSEO.
|
The support as of late has taken a pretty big hit. I've got a ticket in for a week now still waiting to get any kind of reply. People making purchases getting the CC $ taken out but hearing nothing from the company. A couple threads open on the topic and staff stonewalling the threads.
I've used it for years, and needed to make a change after a server move. The natives on the forums restless missing features so I just removed it entirely and decided to move forward with the other quality plug-ins out there that can do the exact same thing. |
I have left it running on only one forum I own, the thing that made me think twice was this many moons ago and ever since then I simply can't trust it 100% and avoid it honestly - http://www.vbseo.com/f5/vbseo-securi...tml#post325749
^ Left quite a sour taste in my mouth as you can imagine :(. |
i just disputed on paypal they sent me an e-mail, replied it and waiting now.

vbseo is no more, the company website is shut down as well.
|
Wrong, the site is now back up.
|
Only partly correct - while the website is up for sales of vbseo (yes, they want your money), the support section of the site is dead. This is because vbseo is already dead; it just forgot to lie down.
http://admin-talk.com/threads/dear-v...rations.43684/ There will be no further versions of vbseo (none for vbulletin 5, for example); there will be no further support from vbseo. |

From vbseo 7/30/2013: "Hello,
Unfortunately we will not offer compatibility with vBulletin 5. Kind regards, Andr?s Dur?n / Crawlability Inc. vBSEO Sales Specialist." vbseo no longer responds to support tickets. Open one and see if you ever get a response. As well, the sibling founders of vbseo have been feuding for some time and the sister states, as noted in the above link, that vbseo will be closing down soon. |
So what is the best replacement SEO software for vBulletin forums if/when VBSEO shuts down for good?
|
You don't need vbseo in the first place, so I don't see the need for a replacement ;)
|
Proper use of keywords and thread titles is all you need. I get hit by google and other search engines like crazy and I am not having problems with SEO on my site at all.
If you have fresh content and manage to figure out how to get your forum's members involved in the discussions you don't need anything like vbseo. |

Hell - I was just about to move a forum to a new domain. I saw the vbseo.com site was down and found this thread.
Presumably I won't be able to move the forum to a new domain, without vbseo giving a warning of being an unlicenced copy because the new domain is not in their records? |
That would mean that vbseo has a link back system built in, so would that not give everyone errors?.

I personally (from google analytics) saw an increase in organic traffic of 40% in the first month. I see people talking about one or two options that vBSEO has but if you have it, then you know what I mean when I say "there are 30-40 options that can really help the SEO of your site" If anyone is looking to get into SEO I suggest following WebmasterTools (Matt Cutts) on youtube, in the 500 videos he has you can see how many of the features vbseo provides is crucial to being optimized Though.... This was with 3.8.7, now with 4.2 I do see it being needed less and less, but there are still some options that VB cannot provide that as an SEO I would not do without. --------------- Added [DATE]1382310258[/DATE] at [TIME]1382310258[/TIME] --------------- Quote:

For those that do not know, whether you have vbseo or not or even content on your page, pagerank and vbseo have nothing to do with each other. |

What If The URL in Vbseo's database Is Forwarded To The New Domain?
|
Quote:
No idea why it's doing that - seems to have crashed - but no expectation of help from the vbseo team. Am going to have to do an emergency upgrade of the forums to vb5, which I really wasn't planning to do until later. |

I don't use it because I do not need it, I haven't in the past and I have worked on sites that use it or have used it and if you do have fresh content all the time with proper titles you will be fine. You have your opinion on this and I have mine, I am doing just great without it and have been in the past. Don't go assuming my Man, I could actually say more here but I will not because causing an argument with you is not what I want to do . Have a good day ! |

the vbseo page seems to come back ;) there is an database error now
|
Just verifying - it sounds like if we try to install vbseo files we are using on a current site on another domain, that not only will it not work on the new domain, but it may cease working on the original domain as well? Can anyone verify that's the case?

However, as of last week many people have problems with vBSEO. It seems like it's due to their server not functioning properly. Therefore, keys cannot be verified and vBSEO doesn't function. I have made fixes myself to make vBSEO work and function still. If you are interested feel free to privately contact me. |

Anyhow, Vbseo is gone I think without a word to anyone about it or any support what so ever. Nice bunch of people there..:mad: |
I actually had disabled vbseo plugins some time ago, then later removed them and deleted all the files. However, I have still got the suspect file versions tool reporting vbseo files missing. I realised I still had .htaccess and have since amended that, but still I have this problem.
Additionally, my site will only work when I disable plugins globally, even though I have individually disabled each plugin. It just started happening suddenly last week (like the others I also hear about). I have re-uploaded every single file (from a fresh 4.2.2 download), but somehow remnants of VBSEO hang on and I can't seem to remove it properly from my site. Does anyone know of a step by step process to properly remove it (apart from uninstalling the product and deleting the files - which I've already done)? |
