I like the nuhit guys. One thing that is nice is the lack of shmear sell. I just have a difficulty when someone can't stop selling to the point where something like the Sham Wow is a welcome change of pace. Actually, it's more like the sell to the insecurity in the "Extenze" commercials... "we make certain part of your forums... um... "larger" in size." There are never any weaknesses with the product, etc. etc. etc. It rubs me the wrong way and I'm not the first to mention this. Perhaps they've toned it down a little since then.

It's your call really. Nobody can answer you. The questions really are:

(1) Paying almost $400 (unless you want to advertise for them too) for what is a guess. I've seen several large forum owners say they saw no noticeable increases. You may lose a lot of listings since your current ones are supposedly redirected after another google crawl, at least in theory.

(2) The annual maintenance fees are high and you'll need them.

(3) Last I heard nuhit wasn't encoded and vbseo is. With a point of failure that large on a huge forum, it's just something to worry about.

(4) With vb4 coming out, just how much more will SEO really do above that? No, I'm not talking about 450 settings but what will it do? Get you 50 more or less uniques a month for the price of encoding, updating and non-standard working with regard to hacks, integrations,etc.?

I don't know. With vb4 coming out, you may wish to wait rather than spending the huge sum of cash on it, despite the numerous posts I've seen egging forum owners on as if it is a must have. If the price is right, maybe you might wish to investigate. Your call.
