sorry if this has been asked already and covered, but can someone briefly explain the differences between this and the vbseo that costs $149?

but vbseo actually converts all your links on vbulletin to be keyword rich... instead of showthread.php...blablabla this time it would be example www.domain.com/forum/threadnumber/something.html which makes google and yahoo crawler index your pages higher because of the keywords that's the difference That's a rough explanation but check vbseo.com for more info |

IMHO... I have two sites, one with vbseo and this and one with just this. Being 100% honest Vbseo doesn't make a huge difference other than you can administer settings and monitor your site a lot easier. If you would have to struggle to afford it I wouldn't bother but if you have spare ?s go for it. It does have a lot of handy features. |

I have vbadvanced installed in the root, so I setup the .htaccess to include /forums/ in it. I can access the xml.gz files just fine from the root, but when I try and access urllist.txt.gz, I get a "The webpage cannot be found" error. The urllist.txt.gz file exists in data just like the .xml.gz files.
http://www.broncosforums.com/sitemap_index.xml.gz works ok http://www.broncosforums.com/urllist.txt.gz results in page not found My .htaccess in the root (not forums folder) is: Code:
RewriteEngine On RewriteRule ^(sitemap.*\.(xml|txt)(\.gz)?)$ /forums/vbseo_sitemap/vbseo_getsitemap.php?sitemap=$1 [L] Also, as I am using vBadvanced, I put vbseo_sm_vba in the addon generator modules and changed the sitemap file URLs to http://www.broncosforums.com. Is there anything else I should do to include my vBadvanced page in my sitemap? Do I need to add anything to the extra-urls.txt file? |

just77me,
make sure that you set 0777 permissions for data/ folder. tnedator, you should use this rewrite rule: RewriteRule ^((urllist|sitemap_).*\.(xml|txt)(\.gz)?)$ /forums/vbseo_sitemap/vbseo_getsitemap.php?sitemap=$1 [L] |

I got something similar as Tnedator.
I also have vBA (3.0 RC2) installed and have a .htaccess in my web-root folder like this: Code:
RewriteEngine On RewriteRule ^((urllist|sitemap).*\.(xml|txt)(\.gz)?)$ /bbs/vbseo_sitemap/vbseo_getsitemap.php?sitemap=$1 [L] Now google sees my sitemap and the url list, no problem. But in the ACP under "vBSeo Sitemap Reports" when I look there it says my homepage is: www.myforums.org/bbs whilest it should be www.myforums.org. Also it says "Your forums sitemap index url: www.myforums.org/bbs/sitemap_index.xml.gz which also should be www.myforums.org/sitemap_index.xml.gz. How do i fix it so vbSeo is displaying the correct url's? By the way, does this make any difference if google is getting the sitemap in good order? Or should I better point the sitemap to the /bbs folder so move my .htaccess file? |

Got another question, how do I use the vbseo_sm_vba.php? Or is that being used automatically? I removed both the // in front of this line:
