Say hello to Dragonbyte Seo, it's free to use and it's feature packed. I would list all of the features here but there would be a huge wall of text if I did.

vbSEO
A) 1 mod (2 if you count there vbSEO Sitemap mod which was an add-on)
B) Continually questionable support. They had'nt supported their product(s) on here or in their own forums for nearly 2 1/2 years (and unfortunately people were still buying the product). In the nine years they were members here they only made about 60 posts.

DragonByte Tech
A) Over 80 supported mods for vBulletin which includes mods for vB3, vB4, and vb5. They are very familiar with the code and are continually putting out updates to products weekly.
B) They have their own active support forum which the respond to questions/requests to daily. They are also active here on vbulletin.org nearly daily.
C) They've produced numerous Mods of the Month and are still continually producing new products to support all versions of vBulletin.
D) Are considered by many on here to have exceptional support for their products.

This mod has received 15 updates since it was flagged stable

It shouldn't, though we haven't explicitly tested this mod on Litespeed.

It's impossible for us to make any form of guarantees regarding the lifetime of the modification, unfortunately. To take it straight to 11; I could get killed in any manner of horrible ways tomorrow, leaving the rest of the team scrambling to support it

On a more serious note: We have no plans of discontinuing support for DBSEO. It's our top priority, and due to the nature of the mod it will remain our top priority for the foreseeable future.

I don't think you should consider the money you spent on vBSEO a waste. You got the functionality you paid for, and the security vulnerabilities vBSEO currently suffers from was not something yourself nor the vBSEO team could have foreseen.

If DragonByte Tech ever closes its doors, or anything happens that would even remotely affect our ability to do business (extended holidays, injuries/illnesses/deaths rendering one of our team members incapable of working for extended periods of time), we would send out a newsletter from our site informing our customers of this.

We would never simply disappear without a word, leaving our customers high and dry. You would always be informed to the best of our abilities, leaving you time to seek alternative solutions if you feel that this is the best course of action for your site.
