Board Optimization - Zoints SEO 2.3.2

Zoints SEO 2.3.2!

First i would like to say sorry that its taken so long to get a new version out work has been hectick

now to the update!
mainly this update is only a faster version i have cleaned the coding a bit and made a few changes here and there for better performance.

i know there is still a few bugs in the system and i will now start on a complete rewrite of a seo system as zoints is reaching its limits with the fixes you can add in so this will be my last zoints update, the next release will be a new and more complete system!

it is recommended to update just for easier life and i would recomend using mod-rewrite as its the most stable area of the zoints SEO

I hope you look forward to my next Full Release and not just an update!

this version contains Most of the updates and bug fixes from this thread also others from the zoints forum as well! it contains 1 core file from the tags file please note you MUST read the read me file before you upload anything!

this is a pretty straight forward install it will edit all the templates automatically even on a custom template (tested my self) and even if not you have the files needed to make the changes!

"THIS IS ONLY TO BE USED WITH VBULLETIN 3.8.x"

********Please do not use this modification unless you are VERY well educated on SEO and forum modification********

Zoints is a company that believes that forums are the killer application of the internet. We want to empower forum owners to take their community to the next level. Therefore, Zoints has been developing an extremely powerful vBulletin forum SEO and revenue enhancing solution for more than two years now. However, because we are focusing on our Forum Network and Thread Tagging System, we have decided to release this SEO solution to the vBulletin community under the lgpl license. Zoints SEO is now open source and NOT supported by us. We hope that the vBulletin dev community comes together to take this already powerful solution and make it even better. Empower yourselves

Zoints SEO can be discussed here or http://network.zoints.com (again, we will not be providing official support).


Known bugs
1. If a user disables cookies, infinite redirect loop.
2. index2, index3 pagination breaks some things. Standard p2, p3 works fine. (should be fixed now)

You can add every feature zoints had without fear of patent issue, because I'm positive they have not filed any patents on those features and if they had tried, they probably would have never been approved by the USPTO!

You just can't use the name "zoints," as that would violate a trademark if they have it used as a legal entity or website name.

I'm no lawyer but this how I understand it.

Anyway, having backward compatibility is make-or-break for me. I simply can't switch to any other system that can't support my old URLs or I will lose so much traffic I'll be out of business. I'd make that one thing a top priority because it will give people a migration path to your system.

ok ill make sure the urls are there! or atleast with a 301 redirect!

[rbgrn]

It should be fairly simple. You can parse out the thread ID / forum ID because it's always at the end of the URL as words-words-30.html which would just parse out to 30, then construct your new SEO URL and 301 to that.

I'd recommend supporting migration from the other SEO systems as well, which couldn't take more than a few hours of work to figure out how to parse their URLs.

If i am not mistaken, zoints seo is published under the lgpl license, if i am not mistaken. So i dont think there won`t be any copyright issues at all.

My spanking new forum is up and operational as of today, my next step is SEO. I've researched the other two main options (you know, "vbSomething"and"DaniWhatever"), and I just finished reading ALL 12 PAGES of this thread (and a few other reviews)... you've got the one I want!

Now, question is; can I wait? If I wait I risk the benefits of a strong SEO start... if I implement the current (aging) Zoints, I may have to wrestle with migration issues.

Thoughts? Opinions? Advice from dxlwebs?

Thanks

In my Forum the thread-/forumtitles are cut down after a certain length, i would prefer if it would be possible (in future versions or the new Product) that you can choose yourself how long the URLs become.

[dxlwebs]

i'll do every one a favour i have decided to make my SEO upgraderbale from Zoints meaning that you can continue to use this one untill i have finished mine which i am creating a deadline of 2 months!

so if you would like to use mine you can use this now and upgrade to mine once complete in 2 months time!

[Adromir]

that sounds great, will you tell us, what features you are planning?

You have not specified a valid URL for the thread that you want to merge. Please check that the URL includes a valid threadid, "t=xxx" or postid, "p=xxx" (where xxx is a number), and is not a redirect
