Major Additions - TfSEO 2: the free vBulletin url rewrite

TfSEO 2.1

TfSEO is a powerful and free url rewrite for the vBulletin system: it rewrite forum, thread and post urls.
For me it's very hard to explain well all the feature of this plugin, soo the best way is test it.

How much does it weight on the server?

I have tested on my home server:

TfSEO enabled, heavy:

This product will be updatefor long time, I welcome (and really do ask for) any feedback, suggestions, issues, etc...

If you install it, click install.

Note: vbulletin will have by default a rewrite system from version 4.0 (beta should coming next month, april). I relly suggest you to wait, and not use this product. If the vb's rewrite will be great, i will no more update this product.

Hi, i have been using TfSEO 2.1 for quite some time now, and it did the job for me

Now that I am testing the Beta 3 version I am wondering what my options are and especially which is the best considering SEO.

I have a lot of pages well indexed in google, when I switch to vbulletin 4.0 I will lose a lot of visitors.

Question 1:
I don't know what's better, TfSEO 2.1 of the one vbulletin provides(what's the difference?). Since you're considering making a version for 4.0 explain me what's it you can offer that vbulletin 4.0 does not have?

Question 2:
Is there a way to maintain my links and use the "Mod Rewrite Friendly URLs" from vbulletin?

It's quite an frustrating situation, just don't know what's best to do and how to do it.. Any help would be more then welcome!

i did it for my *.narkive.com wich don't use tfseo. (http://de.narkive.com/s/sitemap_index.xml.gz)

Care to shed some light on how this is done?

[superjeff]

Thanks Jeff fot the support.
I already upgrade to vb4, using the url rewrite of vb, is not the same, but is something.
I'm still looking for a way to redirect the old urls of TFSEO to the new ones of VB4, becouse I lost a lot of traffic .

[James Argo]

Yes off course we would love to see it in vB 4.

Keep going Jeff

Easy: take the htaccess of the tfseo plugin, put it above the htaccess rules of the vb4 system.

Example .htaccess file::

--TFSEO RULES

--VB 4 RULES

#end

an update for vb4 would be great
