Default MOST IMPORTANT QUESTION = Vbseo OR Dbseo or Custom Vbulletin 4.x or 5.x ??

Before proceeding ahead with vbulletin software for future.
I have few important questions.

1. Vbseo developers sucked and QUIT.. heard enuff about this dont want to argue and/or question, can anyone tell me alternatives ?

2. Dbseo came across this software, to manage/handle my stuff.. not sure if its the right choice as far as security and other parameters concerned..
SEO IS DEAD i know that... lets not discuss it here..

3. Can vbulletin 4.x or 5.x handle our default customizations, specially configured for following.
a. Forumdisplay URLs
b. Memberdisplay URLs
c. Showthread Urls
d. Some vague customizations.. (if above handled.. this can be done too)..


We have around 159+ forums (**from a list of more then 400+ **) to be configured.. dont have a hurry though..
Please give proper answer ONLY/.. (will be appreciated if topic goes to point and not argument.. what is or what was better over what).

Sorry for not being active over vb.org for very long time.... occupied MANAGING STUFF.
Regards,

The main thing these mods provide is URL structure changes. I do not know if URL structure changes provide any positive SEO benefits, I installed dbseo a month ago and my traffic has dropped about 40%.

I might suggest an addition of a wordpress blog, some good content and some backlinks for SERP improvements.

I don't use either and I have no problem with people finding us and our traffic is actually going up every month ...

As long as you have fresh and new content every day you will do fine without any of those installed ...

SEO is only good at the start of your forum/site. When my forum went live, I installed DBSEO and I also made a few customizations to DBSEO, and I have been getting more and more traffic every month. My forum gets hammered with Search Spiders every week, from the top search engines. And I didn't even sign up for most of the search engines.

I would go with the built in options on vb 4. You don't want to buy another product that changes your url's and then that product vanish with security issues.. eg like vbseo

Because that's what search enginge spiders do. As long as you don't actively lock them out. And no, you do not have to sign up for search engines...

Bad english I guess it is understood.
I added dbseo.
Too bad, thousands of links that existed have disappeared from google, error 404 countless.
The problem with non English means if you put the title. If I put a forum id is not SEO and VBulletin it works better.
Upgrade every 15 days, the old bugs repaired, new additions.
The effect of the visit or google -2 due to constant lin this does not work or does not have pages.

Returned to Vbulletin frindly url.
The problem, again thousands of bad links. Fortunately, by searching the net I found that it was redirected to VBSEO to XenForo or here to Vbulletin.org topic for the same.
I've adjusted the .htaccess so now I have only about 10 percent damage. It will gogle I corrected only for a month or two ..

I had to write, for me, the installation DBseo total fiasco. The effect of any. Many hours of work for nothing.

Your right. I should have said its most effective if you SEO your forum at the start of your forum.

Even after I hit Google, my queries come on top..

FOR REQUIRED ANSWERS.

Probably I have to change queries..
Since Vbulletin is messing on all my site(s).
