Do you think it's really worth the cash? and is this a 1 time payment only or do I have to pay each year?

thanks

BTW, when you buy and install this plugin, do you still need to insert the correct tags when posting a thread or is that done automatically by the plugin?

Because I see on the popular forums, they don't even have the option to add tags yet you still see the threads on Google instantly when a thread is posted... do you think they also must be using this plugin and it does this automatically for each thread / post?

Zachery is right on the money with his statement, as i said too, it's hard work that will get you what you want, when i started out i bought vbSEO and expected exactly what you do and complained when it didnt do what it said it would, or what i thought it said it would. I'm 4 years in now and it's been tough going getting it where it is now, whatever you decide to do you must stick with it, the like of Google...etc now are changing tack on how they index sites...etc and friendly urls are not all they were made out to be 4 years ago or so, instead you're ranked for your content, unique content, ease of navigation......etc

So, work on your content, post at other similar websites with helpful material and link to you forum in your signature with a decent anchor text thats not over subscribed, my site is to do with microsoft office, originally i wanted to use "Excel VBA" as my anchor text, it was way over subscribed and competed for, so instead i went for "Microsoft Office Help" and after all the microsoft owned sites im the very next one in google, i also used "Microsoft Office discussion" and now im page 1 pos.4, now that i'm established with those i've been working on getting recognised for the original keyword i wanted and am now page 1 pos.6 for it (googles results vary from place to place and different times), so what im saying is work at it at a lower level and build up then you'll get your immediate indexing
