SEO

Hi,

Seeing the increased popularity of my forums, I certainly hope you'll stay in business for a long, long time!

It's been a year since I didn't use phpBB, but I can tell you for sure that it has the same SEO issues as vbulletin (if not worst).

That makes the idea of a (commercial) SEO hack for phpBB very interesting (seeing the popularity of phpBB)

I'm not trying to shift your focus away from vbSEO or vbulletin, just noting a business opportunity for Crawlability. The more you succeed financially, the better for me, as vbSEO is now integral part of my marketing toolkit!

(BTW, I know, with vbSEO, vbSEO for IIS and the tableless style for vb, I'm certain you're already *very* busy!)

just my 0.02

I believe there are already clear mod_rewrite hacks available for phpbb, and while the ethic of the phpbb development and userbase is one of useing the forums because it is free, it may therefore remain a popular product but difficult to sell paid services based on that product.

vBulletin, on the other hand, requires a webmaster to be serious enough that they will invest money into having a highest quality product, so purchasing additional services to enhance that market seems a vertical that makes some sense.

Simply a personal 2c.

SEO Report,

Thank-you for the suggestion. It would certainly be a possibility. However (as you indicated) we are 100% focused on vBSEO right now.
