I have had vbseo for over 3 months,at first I did not know how to optimize it,everything was set to default,I did nothing all I did was submit my sitemap to google and yahoo,after about a week still no change however my page rank was boosted just a little bit,then a week later I descided to change my settings in vbseo,I found a some presets, forum global forum formats,so I descided to try it out,about a week later, my rank went up and down then it went down,way down,so I descided to to see what was wrong I checked the search bot logs, and saw that each day less and less google and yahoo,as well as other bots where indexing my site less and less,so I logged into my google account,accessed my google webmaster tools,and viewed crawling information,apearently not only did I find over 1024 not found urls,I found 38,crawl erros in my site map,I was also being ranked for low search terms that had nothing to do with the keywords I was trying to rank high in,so I descided to recreate the sitemap,and restrict the bots from accessing forums that do not have quality content,about a week later, In my traffic rank went crazy,it went up,then it went down,then it went up,then down,and then finnally it went lower, when I checked my site,I got less crawl errors but more not found urls,and my site was still being ranked for low search terms,that had nothing to do with my site,so I descided to upgrade my vbseo as well as my vbulletin board, when I upgraded my vbulletin board, over 59 templates were out of date,I have no idea if this interferes with traffic,also, I descided to optimize vbseo through the optimization tips, which was just yesterday.
