vBSEO Replacement? DragonByte?
 

I have been running vBSEO with vB4.X for 4 years now but feel that it is a ticking time bomb ready to explode.

DragonByte SEO looks good as a replacement, does anybody have experience with this? I should add that we have 4,507
threads and 16,843 posts, not sure if that is big or small in this world.

Happy new year!

They've had a fair few number of customers switch to the software. People we have recommended it to have been fairly happy, at least I haven't heard any scathing reviews.

If that was my site I wouldn't run any plugin, you can get the pretty url's with the stock vbulletin 4. What's to say DB's site will be up in a few years. I don't think anyone thought vbseo would vanish like it did.

You can "SEO" your site yourself and save your money. ;)

The one good thing about DB's is they do have a converter so you can keep the same URL structure that your vbseo install had.

If you buy the Pro version. I had a client that had vBSEO and when that went south I installed DBTech SEO on his site (Pro) and it was really simple to convert the URL'S from vBSEO to DBSEO. All the settings imported and we really did not have to do anything.

Most sites I know that switched to it have had no issues.

The main reason people have switched is to get the redirects from old vBSEO URLs.

Yeah I know Fillip has done a great job with the mod, and stays on top of any bug reports that do come in.

Great feedback thanks. I think I will give it a try.

I am almost certain you will be pleased with the outcome. :)

I use this myself though not for the seo friendly urls. I use it for the meta tag options, social links and the sitemaps mostly.

Fillip is amazing and will take care of you for sure. If you want to dump Vbseo then this is the way to go for sure! I only wish I used it a couple years ago when I dumped Vbseo!

I just bought the full package. I will let you guys know how it goes.
