Default Rebuilding a plugin similar to VBSEO, suggestions needed

Hello fellow board members,

I owned some forums using VBSEO and i have many clients from http://www.vbulletinconsultant.com/ who are using VBSEO plugin and now facing problems since the plugin or any upgrade is gone. I have already started working on the plugin and honestly it is just 25% complete yet.

We are working on keeping only certain functionalities from VBSEO, our priorities are the URL generation like VBSEO, Sitemap, pinging search engines and more functions like this, i need suggestions on what other community owners think they would like to use in similar functional plugin.

If you have any suggestion or would like to contribute to the plugin in any possible way, please let me know here.

Regards

You're a bit late in doing this. Dbseo is already being developed .

Here's their feature list so far.
http://www.dragonbyte-tech.com/produ...ragonbyte-seo/

Feature List
Major Features

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

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!

I am already keeping a tab on this while working on my product, i believe we will be able to provide similar features or almost all features but at less cost to the clients.

Thanks for the information.

Talk, talk away about features, the lot of it! Just please keep pricing out of the discussions so it's allowed per the rules .

What experience do you have in this field? It is pretty important not to do something like this if you don't have a background in it, as you could screw up people boards.

I think completion is good, but don't be silly and price yourself to slave wages or anything.

Sorry intensecool but you building yet another vbseo replacement plugin is a waste of time.

Here's why:
* You have no mods released.
* You're not an established coder (at vb.org in terms of mods/coding/tutorials/graphics releases).
* Even if you did make it cheaper, why would someone take a gamble on buying a mod from someone who hasn't even made a mod prior to this?

Dragonbyte is quite the opposite:
* They have quite a number of mods released and a good amount of coders to fix whatever issues arise.
* They also have alot of free mods available along with good support for them.
* Even if I have to pay for DBSeo, at least I know I will be getting a good quality product and excellent support for issues/bugs.

Seems like there are a bunch of dbseo humpers in here. I recommend not building or installing any SEO plugin - build out your site around high quality content and customize the default url rewrite settings & you'll be gold.

If you're already stuck with one, migrating to a supported one would be a good choice, at this point.
