how much to do so?

Hello,

There are currently no Branding Free options, however you may choose from several copyright texts, linked and unlinked versions are available.

In config_vbseo.php please search for the following:

Code:

	// ****** COPYRIGHT NOTICE ******
	// As per the License Agreement (www.crawlability.com/vbseo/license/), you may NOT remove (or modify) the
	// copyright notice. Select one of the copyright notices to be displayed in ALL pages enhanced by vBSEO:
	//
	// Linked
	// 1. Search Engine Friendly URLs by vBSEO 3.0.0
	// 2. Content Relevant URLs by vBSEO 3.0.0
	// 3. Search Engine Optimization by vBSEO 3.0.0
	// 4. SEO by vBSEO 3.0.0
	// 9. Ping/Trackback Enabled by vBSEO 3.0.0
	//
	// Not Linked
	// 5. Search Engine Friendly URLs by vBSEO 3.0.0 © 2007, Crawlability, Inc.
	// 6. Content Relevant URLs by vBSEO 3.0.0 © 2007, Crawlability, Inc.

	// 8. SEO by vBSEO 3.0.0 © 2007, Crawlability, Inc.
	// 10. Ping/Trackback Enabled by vBSEO 3.0.0 © 2007, Crawlability, Inc.
	//
	//
	// When this option is set to '0', the system auto-selects a copyright notice for you. Setting this
	// option to a value from '1' to '10' will display the copyright notice of your preference.
	define('VBSEO_COPYRIGHT',           0);

Change define('VBSEO_COPYRIGHT', 0); to the number you would like to use.

I think it might be a good idea to make a sticky for this question, since it's asked so frequently.

Thanks. I was looking for this info too.

How helpful really is it to perform these tweaks?

I dont know whether to bother the forums web tec with this sort of task or not...

Should I make an effort to remove this stuff from the bottom of the page? Pay for the brand free option from VBulletin?

How will it help the site?

Thanks in advance..

I remove the copyright notices and links when possible because i believe it makes the footer more clean and pro.

My 2p

vBSEO should give a branding free option. Even at the cost of buying vBSEO as the cost for branding free, it is worth it to me. I try to remove all of them, yes it costs money, but at the end of the day it is my site.

There is nothing worse than 100's of copyright notices at the bottom of any website, it just looks like everyone is in it for the money.

Yep - I agree with this post!

Jacquii.

I'm guessing the requirement is in place to make it easier for the vBSEO team to find unlicensed copies of script via Google. It's punishing the good customers to root out the bad.

I appreciate the non-link copyright options, but I would rather have a simple "Powered by vbSEO" statement without the version number! There is no need to empower hackers to find the exact versions of scripts they are looking to exploit. I don't like having version numbers display for any scripts that I use on my web sites.

You can remove the version number from copyright footer by manually enabling this option in config_vbseo.php:

PHP Code:

    define('VBSEO_NOVER_INFO',             1); 


Thanks Oleg. Is there some docs somewhere that describe all these "hidden" configuration options? Why aren't they included in the vBSEO ACP?

Those are the options in beta stage and are not documented.

I would also greatly appreciate a copyright-free option. Not giving your clients an option to remove this is poor policy.

I think they know that by now and it will be possible in the future so don't worry

Just trying to speed things up... :-) They released it to eBay in March...
