Wordpress and VBSEO

I currently have a vb forum with VBSEO running sweet at www.mydomain/

I want to add a wordpress installation for an on site magazine in a folder called magazine at www.mydomain/magazine/


Couple of questions, will the permalinks I set for the wordpress install affect anything in my forum/vbseo setup or will I not be able to have custom permalinks for that /magazine wordpress folder.

I already have the forum sitemap in the root of mydomain, could I generate another sitemap in /mydomain/magazine/ and would google find it or does it only look in the the root.

Thanks

As long as they are in different folders, there is no issue. The htaccess in the subfolder with over-ride anything set in root. You can use a WP sitemap and submit that file as well to webmaster tools.

Thanks for that Brian. As an aside, would you have a separate database for the wordpress installation?

Yes, I would, solely for ease of backups. wp uses all wp_ prefixed table names, so it shouldn't be any conflicts with vb.

i think wordpress better,wordpress very good for seo!
