Happy it Installed! :)

Well I just wanted to thank the staff here for helping me install vbseo on my forum Bodybuilding & Fitness Community - Talk Fitness since I was having problems doing it myself.

1. I was just wondering, in your opinion what are the best way to have the URLS set?, are the way my URLS set good?

2. Are their anyother little tips, tricks, etc.. that will help me with SEO of my forum?

3. I was wondering about the new post.html thing, how do I turn it off so that on my forum homepage, someone clicks the thread title and they will go to the top of the thread, not the last post made, so that I have the URLS like Guerilla Cardio - Great way to lose fat - Talk Fitness instead of Guerilla Cardio - Great way to lose fat - Talk Fitness with the "new-post.html" at the end???

4. Also, how do I take that number out of the thread URL so I just have it like http://talkfitness.org/losing-fat/gu...ay-to-lose-fat .html without that number "82"?


Thanks so much!!!

Glad you got it all working

1)There's no definitive answer on how to set the URLS. that's why theres several built in options, as well as the option to make your custom ones. All work equally as well IMO.
2) add h1 headings to your skin to give the page better structure. search under my name, i posted a code snipit a few days ago
3) i'd suggest you leave this, as most vB users will be accustomed to this, and might get frustrated without it (i know i would, especially on long threads)
4) this is also not suggested, as if you ever have 2 threads with the same title, there is no way to distinguish which is which. while that topic may be unique, others like "hey i'm new" might get posted 40 times a month....

Thanks for your response, what do you mean by add "h1" headings to your skin?

Also, should I turn the "Vbulletin Archive" OFF or leave it on, I'm not sure about this because I heard that its not good to have double content or something?

Is it good to have "stopwords" on or off?

Thanks.

Oh I also noticed that the "Digg, etc.." icons are not showing up even as they are on this site on the thread view. How do I make them even throughout the posts? meaning have them at exact same position throughout?

You can see what I mean in the attached pics.
