I have just added a Wordpress blog to my site (which is vbulletin based) and I am wondering if I should make it a vbulletin blog so that everything is integrated better. I am using the blog mainly for SEO reasons. Taking that into consideration, is it better to use the vbulletin blog (with vbseo) or a Wordpress blog?

I made the decision to go with vbulletin blog, mainly for faster out-of-the-box integration, it also looks like there is more development coming for the vb blog platform and it's being chipped away at. I run multiple wordpress blogs for the company I work for, and there is a giant list of good things to say about it.

That being said, I had to get my coder to fix the vb blog's handling of my templates, which is not working properly yet. Hopefully soon.

Yeah, I have been very satisfied with the vbulletin products so I would assume the blog is good. It seems a little too forumy for my taste. I like the clean look of wordpress blogs. Maybe I'll use the vb wordpress bridge.

Wordpress is far superior of the vBulletin blogs addon. Wordpress has come a long way, and is now loved by many people.

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
