Can I skip /content?

Brian - can you explain why this change is worth it? I've been on vbseo for about 6 weeks and did not make this change from the beginning either. I've been reading about it here on the forum and am wondering what the real benefit is.

When set up as vb gives you in /content, your main landing page (site.com) isn't a page at all, but a redirect. Google doesn't index redirects. Having actual content on your homepage is a 10000 to 1 advantage and you should move at once.

certainly makes sense to me now. I wish I had known this when we loaded vbseo.

I'll try to make sense of the steps, thanks for the explanation!

edit: well courtesy of your post explaining how to do it, the change sure was easy, including the custom 301 redirect! thanks again Brian!
