VB3 Archive - Suggestion

[jeoworks]

vBulletin-

I am assuming vBulletin is not aware that their archive is not search engine friendly in a complete form.

VB2 had the same archive setup.

What I mean by this is that none of the actual archives pickup "Google Page Rank". If you use the Google Toolbar to determine the page rank on the archive, every archive that is built by vBulletin has a PR of 0/10.

We had a quick mod_rewrite installed and now the forum is taking on Page Rank.

Your archive allows spiders to spider the archive, but it does not allow page rank to be passed. This means that users of your archive will have a hard time gaining position with their archive.

Currently it only serves the purpose of increasing the amount of pages indexed by Google.

This is because of the /archive/<b>index.php</b>/

Our mod_rewrite changes this to /archive/, getting rid of the index.php.

I suggest fixing this because it provides ten times better search engine rankings.

If you are already aware of this problem, my apologies, but it was brought up a long time ago, and VB3 didn't include this update.

Thanks.
