After uninstallation you can also redirect your indexed content to original vBulletin urls. Please carefully check the rewrite rules and use the one that fits your current url structure. If your url structure isn't listed below please post a sample example so we can supply the correct rules.

If you have your thread rewrite rules set as forum-name/threadid-threadname.html use the following .htaccess
Code:
RewriteEngine on 
RewriteRule [^/]+/([0-9]+)-[^/]+\.html http://www.domain.com/forums/showthread.php?t=$1 [L,R=301]
If you have your thread rewrite rules set as forum-name/threadname-threadid.html use the following .htaccess
Code:
RewriteEngine on 
RewriteRule [^/]+/[^/]+-([0-9]+)\.html http://www.domain.com/forums/showthread.php?t=$1 [L,R=301]
If you have your thread rewrite rules set as forum-name/threadname-threadid/ use the following .htaccess
Code:
RewriteEngine on 
RewriteRule [^/]+/[^/]+-([0-9]+)/ http://www.domain.com/forums/showthread.php?t=$1 [L,R=301]

    I have un installed vbseo now and got vb4 up and running i used this rule forum-name/threadid-threadname.html and all of my forum threads are OK but i still have lots more broken (links as below) this is where i found my ticket support has ended so i hope some one can help.
    Ive been told i need to set up redirects for each broken link now Ive asked for 1 example this was the link
    How should i redirect this so i don't loose lots of hits from google? Ive put a 404 redirect in place but thats not really great when they want this page?

    How long should i leave the redirects in place?
    Should i just leave it as it is and let google re index these pages?

    I would appreciate any help thanks.
