How to redirect vbseo urls to non vbseo urls

i have been using vbseo the last year or so and have been very happy with it. I was upgrading to the latest version of vbulletin today so i thought it would be a good time to uninstall vbseo for a few weeks to see if i see a big difference in server load etc

i will probably add vbseo back again in a couple of weeks but for now my main concern is redirecting vbseo urls to standard vbulletin urls. i dont want this decision to have a huge effect on traffic

here is the htaccess file i was using

Code:

# Comment the following line (add '#' at the beginning)
# to disable mod_rewrite functions.
# Please note: you still need to disable the hack in
# the vBSEO control panel to stop url rewrites.
RewriteEngine On

# Some servers require the Rewritebase directive to be
# enabled (remove '#' at the beginning to activate)
# Please note: when enabled, you must include the path
# to your root vBulletin folder (i.e. RewriteBase /forums)
#RewriteBase /

#RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www.yourdomain.com
#RewriteRule (.*) http://www.yourdomain.com/forums/$1 [L,R=301]

RewriteRule ^((urllist|sitemap).*.(xml|txt)(.gz)?)$ vbseo_sitemap/vbseo_getsitemap.php?sitemap=$1 [L]

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} (admincp|modcp|clientscript|cpstyles|images)/
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ $1 [L]

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME}index.php -f
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ $1index.php [L]

RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} !vbseourl=
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !chat
RewriteRule ^(.*.php)$ vbseo.php?vbseourl=$1&%{QUERY_STRING} [L]

RewriteRule ^$ vbseo.php?vbseourl=index.php [L]
RewriteRule ^(archive/.*)$ vbseo.php?vbseourl=$1&%{QUERY_STRING} [L]

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.+)$ vbseo.php?vbseourl=$1&%{QUERY_STRING} [L]

any help would be appreciated

Hello,

please note that it is NOT suggested to change URLs for long periods (like weeks) since that would hurt your search engines indexing.

In case of default vBSEO URL formats you can use this .htacces to redirect SEOed URLs to original ones (except for forumdisplay URLs which should be redirected manually with one rewrite rule per subforum):

Code:

RewriteEngine On
# thread URLs
RewriteRule [^/]+/([0-9]+)-[^/]+-([0-9]+)\.html http://www.mysite.com/showthread.php?t=$1&page=$2 [L,R=301]
RewriteRule [^/]+/([0-9]+)-[^/]+\.html http://www.mysite.com/showthread.php?t=$1 [L,R=301]

# Member List
RewriteRule ^members/list/index([0-9]+)\.html$ http://www.mysite.com/memberlist.php?page=$1 [L,R=301]
RewriteRule ^members/list/(\w)([0-9]+)\.html$ http://www.mysite.com/memberlist.php?ltr=$1&page=$2 [L,R=301]
RewriteRule ^members/list/$ http://www.mysite.com/memberlist.php [L,R=301] 

# Member Profiles
RewriteRule ^members/.+-([0-9]+)\.html$ http://www.mysite.com/member.php?u=$1 [L,R=301] 

# Attachments
RewriteRule ^attachments/[^/]+/([0-9]+)-.+$ http://www.mysite.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=$1&%{QUERY_STRING} [L,R=301]

# Showpost
RewriteRule ^([0-9]+)-post([0-9]+)\.html$ http://www.mysite.com/showpost.php?p=$1&postcount=$2 [L,R=301]

i understand that but unfrotunately theres no other way to see the difference in server load apart from uninstalling it

thanks for your help with this
