If you were to search google for e.g football, many sites have that word but with SEO it narrows the choice down.

E.G showthread.php?t=50 -> football-play-t56.html

Which would give better results in google.

It just narrows down the results which will attract more visitors to your site. You then have a better change of those visitors clicking adsence.

Hope that helps

I don't agree with that myself, lets say a person has vBSEO installed and has a thread with 6 lines of text about football.

Now lets say another site has a thread with 50 lines of text about football, with the word football mentioned many more times in his thread, but he doesn't have vBSEO installed.

You could argue his thread will get better ranking because of the better content in that thread. Just because you have more friendly URL's using programs like vBSEO. Doesn't mean your always going to get a better rank on something, than another site without it installed. Quite a few things come into play. The domain name for starters can play a key part, Category title you create, they contain keywords for search engines to relate too, the amount of content on the forum that might mention football multiple times in various different threads. And so on, the list goes on and they all matter when combined together!

Lets take your site for example Loco.M

You run a site called: vBulletinsetup.com, great domain name with vbulletin in the title, you have lots of content about vbulletin also. And you have vBSEO installed.

Go in Google and see who gets listed first, your site or vBulletin.com. And they don't use vBSEO
