    Future of Vbseo after release of Vbulletin 4.x

    What does concerned vbseo authors think about future of Vbseo.com after release of vbulletin 4.x series.

    Points to consider:
    1. Any enhancement added in vbseo series is incorporated in vbulletin (x series) after few days.weeks.months (script idea kiddies) by developers.

    2. New features (including SEO + CMS) will outdate existing vbseo requirements.

    3. Vbseo amalgamates with Vbulletin
    or
    Vbullein (any company today) acquires crawlability !

    ** We were very satisfied with vbseo support comparatively, hence the poll.

    As it had been highlighted inside vBulletin SEO announcements blog entry , vBulletin SEO options are only covering forum , thread and member urls. Which is compared nothing with vBSEO and also the url format is not compatable. Url format doesn't even allow you to have forum name inside showthread urls.
    vBulletin 4 will not have any negative effect on vBSEO as people who choose vBSEO are mainly people who invest in their forums. As vBSEO will be the best SEO software for vBulletin , people will continue to use vBSEO.

    There are many forum owners who don't even know what SEO is. By having vbulletin ship with a few options, it will likely enhance their eyes to seeing what they are missing. When vbulletin's native functions fail to deliver extra features (think of the vb .com forums...

    Q: can i do X?
    A: Sorry, that is not built in to vbulletin. try vbseo

    ) we expect to see more new webmasters/forum owners taking sight to their rankings and options.

    vbseo 3.5 will fully support vb4.

    Who have an eyes and who know what's the SEO can simply answer there is no comparison between vBulletin (0,70% SEO) And vBSEO
    Why I said (0,70% SEO) ?
    vBulletin have only rewrite URL system so you can't say this is the new vBulletin built in SEO
    You can say it's vBulletin "NEW" Rewrite URLs system
    vBSEO - vBSEO Feature List

    I'm not from vBSEO Team and I didn't have any bushiness with Crawlability, Inc But I'm say that because I'm a very happy vBSEO Customer

    SEO was myth when vbseo.com evolved, today any new customer @ vbulletin forum software (atleast 2 out of 5) knows about SEO.. (but unaware about vbseo).
    hence, the poll

    vBSEO guys will have to work harder now to convince people that vBSEO is worth it. As a customer I can not even think about leaving vBSEO, since I doubt I'll get similar URLs generated by vB4 and on top of it, like it has been mentioned before, vBSEO does a lot more than simple URL rewrite.

    People think vBSEO is nothing be URL rewriting... pfft.

    If you think it's just that, then you should probably save yourself the money and the embarrassment and just use vb4's default seo. If you want to read into vBSEO and learn what you can actually do with it other than the nice URL rewrites...then you'll want to stick with vBSEO.
