Major Features (Lite)

PHP 5.4 Support: By creating DragonByte SEO on PHP 5.4, we've been able to ensure compatibility with this PHP version in the event you or your host decides to upgrade in order to continue to receive bugfix and security updates.

Google Analytics Integration: You can easily integrate Google Analytics with your forum by simply entering your account ID, and choose the level of detail you want to track.

Dynamic Meta Tags: Meta Keywords and Descriptions can become content-aware on certain pages like blogs and threads, increasing the relevance of these pages.

External Link Handling: You can choose to add "nofollow" to all external links, preventing search engine spiders from leaving your site. With the ability to fine-tune where this applies, white- and blacklist support as well as optional anonymisation techniques, you are in complete control over your external references.

Powerful URL Rewrites: Almost every URL found in vBulletin can be rewritten via powerful rewrite rules, enabling you to customise your rule set to perfection. The default rewrite URL settings match that of DragonByte-Tech!

Sitemap Generation: Sitemaps can be automatically created for all supported URLs, and automatically submitted to search engines.


Major Features (Pro)

vBSEO Importer: DragonByte SEO is compatible with vBSEO rewrite rules, and can import your rule set from the latest version of vBSEO seamlessly.

Custom URL Rewrites: Take further control over your forum URLs with the ability to write your own URL formats.

Custom Blog Domain: Run your vBulletin Blog from blog.yourdomain.com (or any other domain you wish).

Custom CMS Domain: Run your vBulletin CMS from cms.yourdomain.com (or any other domain you wish).

Custom Rewrite Rules: If you have custom vBulletin-powered pages, you can create rewrite rules for them using this feature.

Custom Sitemap URLs: Your custom pages can also be added to the sitemap, with individual update frequency / priority / last update date settings.

Custom 301 Redirects: You no longer have to edit your server-side rewrite rules in order to create 301 redirects for your content.

Content-Aware SEO Titles: Blogs, CMS Articles and Threads can generate SEO titles based on the content rather than the title, great for forums with a high number of unhelpful titles.

Advanced Logging: Spider and Sitemap hits can be logged, and the logs can be browsed via the DBSEO AdminCP via the same intuitive interface used in vBulletin's own log browsers.

I re-read but confirming..

Thanks.

[DragonByte Tech]

Fillip

[Cla75]

thanks for upgrade

my problem is ...

SEO Reports
Google Analytics Reports
Webmaster Reports

CLICK to Webmaster Reports

Google Accounts Authentication
In order for DragonByte SEO to generate your reports, you must authenticate with your Google account.

No data is transmitted to DragonByte Technologies during the authentication process, it's entirely handled by Google's servers.

CLICK Authenticate

Authentication Code
Enter the authentication code received from Google here.

error:

Error fetching OAuth2 access token, message: 'invalid_grant: Code was already redeemed.' on line 119 in /home/xxxxxxxxxxx/dbtech/dbseo/includes/3rdparty/Google/Auth/OAuth2.php (code: 400)

thank for support

[SaN-DeeP]

invalid_grant could me problem with time on server, or refresh token limit has been exceeded.
Are you authenticating twice.. I have not checked this tool yet but have seen those errors on GA/GWT...
are there some cookie timeout settings in this mod, if yes re-check..

Just trying to help based on my experience with this error faced on other software scripts.. probably developer mite give right shot.

[Cla75]

Thank for reply
but "Authentication Code - Enter the authentication code received from Google here", where I read this code?

[SaN-DeeP]

That error seems to be 2-factor authentication process by G ?
I will wait for the modification developer for further help..
tried my best.. Sorry.
