I sat with a vBulletin forum for 10 months before installing vBSEO because the pricetag (~150.00 USD) was a bit steep and I wasn’t quite sure it would work. Well I figured I’d take the stab at it (as you already know if you’ve read any past posts) and the results have been nothing but good.
Not only have my Rankings for Google, Yahoo, Live, and MSN all over tripled, I’ve also been getting more traffic that wants to be here . Before vBSEO was installed during a month I was averaging about 3 pages/visit, in the month and 10 days since, I’m averaging 7.5 pages/visit.
I am now in the top 10 in google for “f body forums” and top 15 for many other similar phrases like f-body forum and others.
Have you continued to be impressed with vbSEO are did the forums settle down after the initial flurry, please?
If the price tag was $50 I would not have a 2nd thought about purchasing it however I have a few forums and I would the prioritise which forum should get vbSEO.
And with that said, my top forums have no need for it as they are well indexed already, so it then comes back to whether this replaces the normal work someone should do to develop their site or get the boost from the hack?
Hello GlobalBuzz:
Yes, I’m actually continuing to move up in rankings, and my google references are also going up each month.
Maybe you should buy it for one of your forums, see how it goes and if it all goes well then add it to your others. You will notice your indexed pages for a already established site drop for a month or two when you first install, so I suggest installing it on a younger board rather than an older one.
I was also skeptical and didn’t really want to shell out the money for it but I am actually glad I did. One thing is, it isn’t a miracle working product. It will help your site, but without other proper SEO techniques it is a waste of money. If you use it in conjunction with other optimization it should do well for you.
