Not really. If you look in the first post, there are a TON of options and you would have to view source of the sites to see many of them in action. In addition, things like the archive ad management system which is included cannot be seen by viewing a forum.

I seen a reply to go through both products and look for yourself, but the thread stater claimed this, I think he should be the one posting this info..

Some is fact, some is subjective. My real problem is that many people install SEO enhancements without having a clue about the SEO theory behind it. I could tell you X, Y, and Z is great about Zoints SEO, but are you going to believe me? Anyone who is well versed in SEO, programming, and monetization will quickly see the differences between the products based solely upon the screenshots and information in this thread.

I will be going through tomorrow and doing an extensive writeup. But frankly, i'm of the opinion that no SEO modifications should be installed unless you know WHY you are installing them. There isn't an SEO product on the market (Zoints SEO included) that in MY opinion doesn't have a couple features that can in fact hurt the performance of a forum. Zoints SEO is a fantastic piece of software, but I sure as hell wouldn't turn a couple of its features on. Algorithm updates happen constantly, if you're going to play with SEO, you better understand it.

Please check the screenshots posted in the first post.

No.

If they have session IDs then they aren't using any of the url changing features.

Thanks Brandon, but don't wish luck to us. Zoints SEO belongs to the vBulletin community now. Wish yourselves luck
