I am glad I got rid of it and am now using the Vbulletin advanced friendly urls. No need for the mod rewrite urls really.

Removal was a royal pita though but mostly because we had non standard urls and we had changed a couple times.

I hired Ikopylov to take care of the htaccess for me and he has done an amazing job. If you guys are removing this and need help with htaccess this is the guy to go to. I had over 46,000 not found urls and over 6,000 server errors due to broken urls.

Removal was not easy but well worth it. It is one less major thing I have to worry about when upgrading, etc.

##yeah, there are other Post Likes and a good thumbs up mod as well. That is what I use now. No need for the Vbseo likes system.

How much did it cost?

Just shoot him a pm. He checked out my broken urls, etc using webmaster tools and than gave me a price. I am sure it would be different for every site depending on how messed up it is. It was an amazing price and he put tons of time in. It was well worth it. I just wish I did it sooner instead of spending weeks writing my own redirects, most of which were not even set up correctly.

I read through Matt Cutts blog a while ago that the way urls errors were displayed was being changed. Normally, even if you fix a url it will show as an error because it reports on the original url and not the redirected one. They were rolling this out about a month ago or so and I am waiting for4 this to go into effect. Most of my ruls have been fixed, impressions have gone back up, uniques have gone up but I still see the errors in webmaster tools. I can verify they are fixed also.

Something else I am confused about sort of related to Vbseo is the removal of the Vbseo sitemap mod. I removed it a couple months ago and switched to the Vbulletin standard. I removed the old sitemaps and resubmitted the new ones to google a couple months ago and yet it appears those old sitemaps are still indexed.

I can tell this because when I click on broken urls in the tools and then go to the tab for pages that link it still shows those old sitemaps! Why are they there and how do I get rid of them? I have requested removal, blocked the vbseo sitemap urls and have linked the new sitemap in robots.txt. The fact that google is still using those old ones is an issue because the urls were diffent at that time.

Thanks,
Rich

PS - Had this work done mostly last week and I figure results should improve more every day for a couple or few weeks as Google indexes the changes. It is nice though to already see improvement after a couple days!
