dbseo, will you be getting it?
 

Seeing as how vbseo is falling apart, db tech announced that they are currently developing a new SEO plugin, called dbseo.

Will you be getting it anytime after it comes out?

The latest release notes for it from here.

Nope, no need for it. I'm already on the first page of most search results without any SEO plugins.

Agreed, with vB4 you have mod rewrite friendly urls which work just fine so why... omdl why is someone creating a new plugin for seo... this does not bode well imo... aye of course they'll code and make money off it but do you all need to spend your money on it? Nope :p.

Also just so you're all aware, there is no "standard" in regards to seo, nor is ANYONE a seo expert, there is no such thing.

Same here. Yup.

same here.I removed vbseo a while back when mert departed and i saw and read how vbseo was crumbling and no updates for about 2 years.I'm doing way better now, then having any seo program..:)

When I first started with VB I rather liked the idea of VBSEO. It was pretty straightforward mod with a "set it and forget it" type mentality for the new user.

I had no idea how to rank or even make my site into something Google (and others) would care to index. VBSEO made it a cinch to get started without knowing the fine details needed to make your site attractive to bots/spiders.

It is especially difficult (at least for me) to get ranked when my site is very generic with no specific niche being defined. Using VBSEO did increase my presence on Google, and helped direct new traffic/members to my site.

Like the member above me I bailed on VBSEO when I found my first virus enter my site through the holes in VBSEO that were never updated.

If DBtech is designing a similar mod I say why the heck not? There is a void there now for someone to fill, as I am pretty sure there are still a lot of people out there who still want the "set it and forget it" type learning curve on SEO.

$200 seems a might steep for me at the moment, but I might consider if it ever goes on sale.

$200.00 for SEO on vBulletin 4 - This must be a joke! I sold my vBSEO over 2 years ago, it's easy enough to tweak vB4 for better SEO.

Count me out!

No, there is no need for it. After peoples dealings with vBSEO and their abrupt ending / awful support for a heavy product I don't see this being a successful product for them - although I do wish them the best with it.

DBTECH sees money signs & a gap in the market. They think people will be looking for something like this after vBSEO died.

The best SEO is consistent, unique, valuable content.

I'm surprised that VB is letting them realease a MOD on here for it, I got well slated on another forum where they were asking for beta testers.

I even pointed out that there were existing fixes for the "problem" they were solving, either on here, or elsewhere on the net for free.

I got corrected on the price, they haven't fixed one yet, but the general feeling was that $99 was too much, so why they would think people will pay double that beats me.

Of course there are people out there who will buy it, just as there are people who sleep in a tent in Africa and buy anti-Tiger dust off the locals ( I joke not).

Admins need to realise that apart from the obvious, SEO is as personal as wearing someone elses underpants, you just don't do it.

If there's a direct "VBtoDB" install of it that will let me quickly and easily move my 3.x site over to it without spending half a day making rewrites, I'll definitely be moving to it.
