Hello Shahzad,

I suspect you were using vBulletin 4 friendly URLs a while ago prior the vBSEO installation. If so, you likely will be seen affected yourself if you didn't set a custom rule set to redirect all of that incoming URLs to new vBSEO'ed format.

SEO doesn't happen overnight, the main key for your site success is to publish exclusive content on a daily basis to get your site indexed fast. There are some tips you also may apply to your site, so I advise you to open a "critique thread" for further information .

As I suspected:

All of those URLs are not being redirected to new vBSEO'ed format, they are being redirected to your home page. Please try to put these rules in your .htaccess file, right after RewriteEngine On line:

Code:

# Threads
RewriteRule ^threads/([0-9]+)-.+ vbseo.php?vbseourl=showthread.php&t=$1 [L]

# Forums
RewriteRule ^forums/([0-9]+)-.+ vbseo.php?vbseourl=showthread.php&t=$1 [L]

RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ([0-9]+)-[^/]+
RewriteRule ^(forumdisplay\.php) vbseo.php?vbseourl=$1&f=%1 [L]

# Forums (pagination)
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ([0-9]+)-[^/]+/page([0-9]+)
RewriteRule ^(forumdisplay\.php) vbseo.php?vbseourl=$1&f=%1&page=%2 [L]

Thank You i have inserted the rules in .htaccess file, its really work , i also creating useful threads on daily basis and waiting for huge traffic swarm!
