Hmm? Shouldn't a post in our "forum commenting" area ask people to give comments or feedback about the site design, layout, content, or something? Looks like this was posted only for promotional purposes to recruit new members.

Not sure if that's appropriate here... anyone?

It's fine here

Thanks, Dean

If you are intent on running a site devoted to vBulletin, you should name the product itself consistenly. The preferred abbreviation is "vB", not "VB" (which is commonly used for Visual Basic--something completely unrelated to vBulletin).

Same point with vBulletin, not VBulletin. It may seem trivial but not to everybody.

I went over this with a 16 y/o, I wish I didn't have to explain. The link is not targeting humans. It's for other reasons.

We know very well what the spelling of vBulletin looks like, but it really don't matter to someone that don't know or a search engine.

If someone is so closed minded that they don't want to know why or understand why, we probably can't help them.

Thanks

Capitilization doesn't matter to a search engine either, so why not be consistent like filburt said and keep to vB?

I didn't name the forum, I just support it. Joe did the anchors. Trust me, with his experience and success, it's an example worth following.

I'm not trying to be argumentive, but there are more then one reason for anything. I use vBulletin when conversing usually.

This is argumentive, if you can't see past the spelling of a word for a title or anchor, you're not ready for growth. Keep an open mind.

My goal is to own every variation of the keyword vbulletin no matter how it's capitalized.

Thanks Dean.

I'm not trying to be arguementative either. Just pointing something out No offence intended. Check this out, exactly the same results:

Which proves my point

I didn't say your point was invalid. You are correct that the engine is not case sensitive. However, the human eye is. Someone that is searching for VB/vbulletin is probably not aware that vB is spelled a certain way(even if they are, we got that covered too), they are looking for a keyword or phrase.

It's subjective, but we have got a better change of hitting a flying bird with a shotgun then a rifle.

Imagine how many ways we can say vbulletin and make it look. Trade marks aside, cause we can't borrow copyrighted logos for our advertising, does coke or pepsi run only one ad?

We all tent to think like admins, that is a bad mindset to get into. If your target is admins, then stick with it. Some of us are targeting regular folks though, they do not think or act or search like us admins do.
