Major Additions - Zoints SEO

********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).

I guess SEO isn't for everybody. I've had it installed since the last update and it has worked great and different spiders are crawling me much more frequently now from what I'm noticing in the vB who's online status.

Amazing difference!

I'd like to reiterate, pleased do not install this hack unless you are well educated when it comes to SEO.

Be patient, take a step back, see if the community develops it. If not, you're better off with your default forum setup.

Agreed. Too many people seem to think that all they have to do is install some plugin then simply sit back and watch the traffic start pouring in... It doesnt work that way sadly

+1

What SEO does is to make the site more Crawable. It doesnt put you in Top10 results in Google or whatever and it is not about patience. It justs help search engines to search better since "SEO" means "Search Engine Optimisation"

For whom "knows what he's doing" Zoints SEO is on of the best plugins I have installed on this site. I strictly recomment it and for whom "Doesnt know what he's doing", you can try buying vBSEO and start prayin' to god to give you rapid community development bec. you are paying for it.

and again DChapman, thanks for this addon.
I would like to help it making better.

Thanks.
