The Arcive of Official vBulletin Modifications Site.

Last week I installed vbulletin in my website.

This week I got penalised from google.I lost about 1000 visitors per day from google.

My webmaster tools says 25 v bulletin pages with duplicate meta description and page title from vbulletin forums.

Anyone experienced this?

Wow thanks for opening my eyes to this as well. In my webmaster tools it says that I have 1,868 duplicate meta tags, and 1,843 duplicate title tags.

Any way to make meta data unique?! I bet this is killing PR.

What pages are these duplicates on? I know a bunch of times the admin/user forgets to change the meta tags in the bottom right of the Articles and Section pages in the CMS and so they are not unique. Make sure that is done.

It looks like it's just random forum posts. All the CMS articles on my site have unique descriptions and keywords.

I posted this in tech support and they told me to list it as a bug. My site is small and what little page rank I had managed to get went "poof" because of this. So I submitted a bug report for it and haven't heard anything on it.

Maybe if enough people vote for it they will fix it.

Thanks for submitting that bug. Voted.

I'm getting those duplicate pages just as the bug details described.

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