Take note all users running the VBET Translate MOD!!!

I ran some numbers for last year and because of VBET non-english speaking traffic was up 67% from last year, while overall hits were up 19%.

Is the extra server load worth it to me? yes. Did I expect server load to go up when duplicating my content 12 times? (I didn't enable all 52 languages) yes. Was there a negative impact on traffic to regular pages? No, it's gone up as well.

So to each their own. The mod has proven to be useful for me.

I agree it could have been extremely useful. I really did see an increase in traffic. But with what it does, I can get the same out of the google translate widget which is much faster at loading I noticed. If any of the users in the past 6 months actually used the mod for what it was intended for (translating posts into other user's languages) I would have kept it on my forum. But two posts in 6 months did not make it worth while in my case. I may try it again later once I see if it makes my forum less busy that before, or when my forum grows.

tavenger5 did you get people posting in other languages?

I do - while it's not as much as English and is more in certain languages, it's still worth it right now for the traffic. Maybe in a little while I'll add more specific forums (topics) that are specific to certain countries.

Would you or anyone using vBet and VBSEO mind posting your Google Analytics and Webmaster stats?

In particular I'm looking for...
Index pages graph before and after (webmaster)
Site speed graph before and after (webmaster)
Search Engine hits before and after (analytics)
Bounce rate before and after (analytics)
Hits from native contry before and after (analytics)

Cut out the number and any specifics, by using screenshots and edited... so you don't give competitors information they might like

I know this seems like alot but I think with the graphs above it would be easy to see if there had been an overall benifit to your forum (I'm aware there are other stats, but these are the simple ones to get hold of)

I ran some numbers with analytics last month. I installed vBET in Dec 2009.

From 2009 to 2010 there was a...
- 68% increase in unique non-us visitors
- 19% increase in unique visitors overall
- 3.82% increase in bounce rate (can be attributed to increase in traffic)
- 13.95% increase in search engine traffic (bounce rate for search engine traffic was up 4.32% as well)

And now answer from vBET owner: The guy which made this thread - Dave Hybrid is lying. He refused vBET supprot. He claims that he got 10 seconds page loading, but when we him asked to give at least one link to such page he refused.

The guy - Dave Hybrid - is cheater ant thief (it is true - I have proofs for that - see below). He was making other translation mod and I (Michał Podbielski - nick NLP-er) was cooperating with him. For this cooperation all donations which came to the mod suppose to be mine. After he closed the mod it appears that he was stealing because he didn't gave me any donation which he got for the mod. He is angry, because I made my own mod and after this he tried to reopen his own, what was total failure for him. That is how I became competition for him and why he is angry and writes lies. He was also cheating people on vbulletin.org that he was author of the mod, but he wasn't - he has no idea about programming.

What he is doing now is simply hate campaign - just Google some of his text from this thread and you will see that he spammed this post everywhere he could. Hate campaign made by thief, cheater and layer, and as we see also spammer. Hate campaign made because he failed with his own translation mod. See here for proofs:
- Translation mod which Dave was making with me - you can see there that I’m writing true
- Translation mod which he started after I created my own mod - his total failure, but check what he wrote there about translation mod. I will quote it here in case he remove it immediately from vbulletin.org:

Yes, that's right, 9000 EXTRA visits per day, and growing. Nearly 3/4 of a MILLION uniques EXTRA in total.

That is what he was writing about his crappy translation mod which is much worst than vBET. And this is the true about what vBSEO team wrote: seeing is believing – now you see that he is able to create any graph he wants and write anything just to get his goal. On my free version plugin page he even wrote that he would write anything just to get one more mod download (moderators of vbulletin.ogr forum removed this post). And now this layer is doing the same - just for other reason: he is writhing anything just to make vBET loose at least one customer.
For those who are seeking the truth - this is his original image he put for his mod. You can see filter hl= what was language parameter in his mod.

His words and graphs are worth nothing. By the way - in my mod thread he was writing that he was laying before also to scare my users. He wrote first that it is not true that translation are good, and when we quoted him, then he wrote that he was lying on his mod page - really great way - Dave just wrote that he was layer before, to make people believe him now…

vBSEO team gladly puts link to this thread everywhere they can without care is it true or not and easily they forget that they argue with Dave about his translation mod (please see here: vBulletin.org Forum - View Single Post - vB Global Translator - Multiply your indexed pages & put search traffic on autopilot and here: Support for multiple languages)... Why?... Because it is convenient to vBSEO that someone is against vBET, even when they can check themselves that the author is not reliable they thanks him for this note ("Thanks again for taking the time of posting this, we really appreciate it.").
Honestly I doubt is it really free thread and my opinion from the other side will stay here. Hope this is real discussion and I have right to defend against obvious scam. Great that Dave spammed this thread in many places - I will have the chance to defend even if vBSEO removes this post (copy-paste is great ).

And here some additional opinions from this very forum:
VBSEO + vBet Glitch?

his post was back in 2010, was he using the free version or the paid version? Did he
discuss his problems with vbet to resolve his issue, or did he just post his issue to make
them look bad? or maybe vbet did fix this issue, and he posted this anyway... as if he had
went to vbet with this, then they could have fixed any issues, it does not sound like vbet
from what I have been reading to ignore their problems. It so happens at this point that
I have read more good then bad...I do not think their free version is all that great, but it
does sound like their paid version is has really been improved since last year. VBSEO is no
different i guess, you will find 20 people that will say it is great, then you will run across 2
that say it sucks...but since I have not gotten it to work yet, then I can not
really make that determination for myself...

I also find this funny. I used a backlink service a few days ago...well after I got my report,
well, they sucked, and I told them this, they gave me a refund, and even after they gave
me a refund, I still made a post on how bad their service was, so even though they
may improve their service at this point, it will not really matter if someone sees my comments.

Do we really know the entire story or is this just another one sided story?
we always here the one sided story, what is vBets response on this? or
does anyone care, and we take the word of the poster as gold?

Another:
Huge increase in traffic from vBet (with vbSEO) (he wrote good things about vBET, so vBSEO team closed this thread to cut discussion...):

Huge increase in traffic from vBet (with vbSEO)
I'll admit I was skeptical at first a couple months of the vBet plugin. I kind of just held back and waited for awhile to see & hear results from other legitimate members on their forums and even vbulletin.org.

Also, i'm not one of those guys that just jump into things out of excitement either... I analyzed the plugin and waited for months to hear other peoples stories / opinions. And see their results as well.

I finally went for it about a week ago. (paid version) And already , just under a week i'm already getting a ton of traffic from the /de/ , /fr/ , /ru/ , languages...and it seems to be increasing by the day into more languages.

I'm not going to post the link here as i'm not sure of vbSEO's stance on the plugin, but you can google vBet to see what I mean.

The 'good stories' section of their forums keeps showing more and more good stories by the day it seems. He's even hiring more people now because of the popularity of the plugin.

I think it would be great if vbSEO & vBet work together because the results are definitely there.

And i'm a paid & proud member of both plugins / services.

I've got no connection to either companies. Just think its a great plugin along with vbSEO. Infact, I think people would be dumb to not have vbSEO installed as well.

Please take up any issues elsewhere as this is not the place for it. vbseo.com is for discussing vbseo ONLY. This is directed for all involved. Any issues with other mods should be addressed at the mod's site.

Thank you.
