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:

hi... this is a bug with TFSEO when used with vbadvanced. Jeff has promised an update soon fixing this bug let's see, when he updates.

all serve the same content. Meaning I have been penalised by Google and lost my Pr6 accidentally...

Hi firstly, your www.site.com and www.site.com/forum/ points to same content because there is a redirect in your htaccess file which is redirecting all request from www.site.com/forum/ to www.site.com/ and it's nothing to do with TFSEO. You should have made a directory called forum on your server and put your vbulletin files in that directory.

Secondly about the www issue, check out this post of mine

I am also using TFSEO and i have no duplicate content problem. You can check a working example at my site: Oracle Forums

The site IS IN A DIRECTORY called FORUM!!!

I have removed the htaccess and it still does this with TFseo running. I deleted all code except this

# Rewrite requests for root home page to /forum/index.php
RewriteRule ^$ /forum/index.php [L]

So that people dont get an error when going to my url.


What I was trying to acheive is so that

www.site.com/forum/ 301 redirects to www.site.com/ thereby meaning I dont have dupe content issue anymore. Alternatively if the other redirects to /forum I would still be very happy!

Any ideas please? Im desperate!!

I have one problem with my archive. When I go into a forum, the threads lead to the actual version, rather than the archive version: http://www.adminfuel.com/archive/index.php/f-13.html

What i understand is that you have put all your vbulletin files in a directory called forum. Now you want www.site.com/forum/ to redirect to www.site.com/

Is that right?

If yes, why in God's name did you first put the site in a directory called forum? Just put the whole VB files under your public_html folder and so www.site.com/ will have all your pages.

And if your www.site.com/forums/ pages are indexed in the serps then basically you have to make a choice whether you want your VBulletin webiste as www.site.com/ or www.site.com/forums. You can't have it both ways.

yes, you are right!!

But the forums have been installed in a subfolder for several years and it will be hard work to move it all to /root

and I will lose a lot of traffic/ inbound links possibly, unless I can use htaccess to redirect all requests from /forum/xxxyyy

to /xxxyyyy which should be possible.

but my question was related to the simpler task of using htaccess to try and prevent some of VBs dupe content! Im guessing you dont know the answer to my question :erm:

Hi

You DO have a duplicate content problem

It is NOT due to TFSEO I dont think, but

http://www.club-oracle.com/
http://www.club-oracle.com/index.php
http://club-oracle.com/index.php


All give identical content. That is a very bad thing for SERP

[Mr.Legolas]

Can you post the new tfseo_adv_portal_recthreads_exp template Jeff?
