vBSEO has already admitted that the mod_rewrite is not necessary to get pages indexed. Yet advertises differently on his website. I dont like the contridiction.


-

good point, you can have every page index with the mod rewrite. but if you don't have active member, you just have pretty url's
as for the $ i could buy it, i've paid mroe for script.
but for 5 php files ? seems a bit step,, but the hidden code is really the part i dislike. Also the fact that when the first vbseo thread was started there was talk of a lite (free) version, i pretty much forget about it untill now, but what happen to this ?
either way I'm happy with dean's mod and the sitemap mods

Yet, I should add that the comment is taken out of context. However, I don't see anything wrong with saying that mod_rewrite is not necessary to get pages indexed.

My apologies for the confusion - I dont know which of you are which.

However, its not taken out of context. I would be happy to post the entire PM if you like to prove it.

Although -- on the vbseo purchase page it is stated that:

vBSEO makes it easier for search engines to crawl more of your valuable vBulletin content faster and more often giving you higher keyword relevancy.

By installing vBSEO for your vBulletin forums you should expect to:

• Get more of your forum pages indexed in the major search engines
• Get your pages indexed faster
• Improve your keyword relevancy for all pages
• Prevent possible duplicate content penalties

SO whats the truth? Whats you've said to me and said here ---- or what you say on your purchase page while your trying to entice people to pay $149 for your product?

let me show you what parked is, apparently you are misunderstanding.

i do have a few extra URLs parked at my site, for no better reason then i don't have any projects for them right now..

this is what "parked" looks like..
yours are redirected..

Why would I want to do that anyway?

That is what you call duplicate content

Maybe you should read a little further. The thread is going along fine now and calmed down quite a bit. It will stay open as long as it continues that way. Suggestion rejected.
