    Can this be done using vbseo?

    Hi!
    I am using vbseo on my mobileforum ... very much satisfied!
    Still I was thinking if this can be done


    like each forum which is renamed to its subdomain
    eg
    forum-title.domain.com
    instead of
    domain.com/forum-title


    and similarly for thread i.e.
    forum-title.domain.com/thread-title
    instead of
    domain.com/forum-title/thread-title

    also when user enter that subdomain ..... it directly takes it to that subforum.

    I have seen people been able to do the same using vbseo, however it is bad for overall SEO for a site !
    A sub-domain is a different site for SERPs and not a part of the same domain..

    Also make sure if you need additional vbulletin licensce for each seperate subdomain.

    stay FAR FAR away from subdomains unless you have a valid reason to do so... like

    maps.google.com has NOTHING to do with a search engine, so its on its own subdomain.
    mail.google.com has NOTHING to do with the search engine, so its on its own subdomain.

    see the drift here?

    unless its an ENTIRELY different application, it's a HUGE mistake to use subdomains.
