Until recently I was in the same boat as you, then I realised something about vbseo and it now really does do what it says on the tin

See this post, for the full story

Bottom line, I would recommend vbseo if you are prepared to put some work into it.

I would really disagree with that - vbseo does a lot more than rewrite urls. To list but a few:

- SEO friendly 404 handling
- Spider activity logging
- Analytics & Analytics funnels integration
- Adsense targeting integration
- VB Archive management
- Pingbacks / trackbacks / refbacks
- Permalinks
- No follow management
- Integrated into all of VBulletin, not just the forum pages (including blog addon)
- Custom rewrite/redirect rules
- Relevant replacements (if used well these are great for SEO and have nothing to do with URL rewrites)
- Meta word / description enhancements
- Fluff removal & HTML cleanup (enhances code to content ratios)
- External links to anchor text
- acronym expansion
