vb.org Archive - View Single Post - Static Content: vBAdvanced or vBulletin-Powered Pages? [SEO]

EagleNick · #1 01-31-2009, 12:09 AM

My current goal is to create a directory of articles related to my forum's niche.
I want something free and simple. I prefer to use one of these:
vBAdvanced -OR- simply creating vBulletin-Powered pages for each article.

I know how each works; I've used both in the past.
What I want to know is which is best in terms of SEO? Which do you think will be easier for the engines to find and crawl? Which will result in my site being found when searching for the content that will be in these articles?
I'm assuming they will be almost equal, but there are probably factors that I am unaware of.

Please share any suggestions or recommendations you have.

Thanks in advance.
