What's the best way?

Hello guys and gals,

I installed vbseo 3-4 days ago, and was just wondering what is the best way to tell if it has been helping at all? I do notice alotta spiders on the site which I guess is a good thing But are there any other ways to tell? If anyone could post some url's that might be helpful or tell me how to go about getting search engine results, do I type in my site name? Or whatever my site is about? Sorry for all the questions but im new to all this.

There are many ways to track changes and improvements. One popular method that can show some change is:

PHP Code:

site:yourdomain.com vbseo 


Type the above in your Google search. It will give you an idea of how many of your vBSEO enabled pages have been crawled and included in the index. Growth in this # is indicative of improvement in your overall search engine positioning.

Also, watch your statistics program to look for increases in inbound traffic from the search engines.

If you run AdSense, monitor your daily earnings to identify jumps in your revenue.

If you have the vBSEO Sitemap installed, you can also use that tool to monitor bot activity on your forum, etc.

Well I do have adsense,but I have made ohhhh about 17 bux in 4 months..lol not sure why it's so bad.

I typed that into google and got these results:

Results 1 - 10 of about 27 for ufgy.com vbseo

Can anyone read all that? lol

I see google has a cache from 12/30 yesterday

I would expect to see more pages indexed soon. just keep building back-inks ( and hide the moderator column )
