Date vbSEO installed: 4/7/06

After much recent work, I'm still working on tweaking vBSEO to work its best on my site.

Pre vBSEO 4/7/06:

Google: 1,250
Yahoo: 35,000
MSN: 50

Today 4/23/06 (more than two weeks later):

Google: 1,230
Google +vbSEO: 68
Yahoo: 41,800
Yahoo +vbSEO: 5,010
MSN: 208
MSN +vbSEO: 165

While Google has shown close to nothing in terms of updates as well as showing old pages when searching for +vbseo. The referralls from google have increased by 100% since last month. In addition, site traffic in general has risen about 70 - 100% since the installation. So while I am quite pleased about the results I'm getting I can't quite attribute it to vbSEO yet because last month I added page titles to all my pages which previously didn't have them (over 4,000) and am noticing that the google referralls I'm getting are still from the old URLs which were all updated with page titles last month.

The staff has been very supportive, I'd like to thank Oleg specifically for helping me very much with the customization of vBSEO to my website. The support was fast, personal to my problems, and without a doubt the best service I've recieved for a product bought online in a very long time.

I know most people don't see the dramatic results from vbSEO until 4 - 5 weeks later but I'll keep you guys posted.

couldn't agree more, the support is great

maybe it's just because it's a smaller group, compared to vb.org ?

looking forward to seeing your reports

It's only been 3 days since but i'm seeing big drops for some reason.

Google: 1,180
Google +vbseo: 58 (very strange..? still no new URLs)
Yahoo: 41,600
Yahoo +vbseo: 5,600
MSN: 264
MSN +vbseo: 194

Now here's where the biggest drop occured:
Avg Uniques 4/7 - 4/23 (10,500/day)
Avg Uniques 4/24 - 4/26 (8,500/day)

That's practically a 25% drop... very very weird....In addition, in the last two days for some reason the load on the server increased from an avg of 2.x to 7+.

I've made some changes (no more member/profile/attachment URLs) to decrease load and will report back if hits go back up.

Ok, so far, google is still dropping and +vbseo is rising very very slowly... yahoo jumped like crazy and MSN is climbing. In addition, as i mentioned before, while all these new URLs have the vbSEO copyright in the bottom, they all are still the old URLs without any of the keywords in the URL... very very strange... and annoying...

I suggest that you request a pre-release version of the newest sitemap via the support ticket system. It has a new feature proposed by T2DMan that might help with the dynamic to static conversion - (read rationale here)

Cheers!

Huge unexplainable jump: google site:mpcdownloads.com
Results 1 - 10 of about 47,300 from mpcdownloads.com for . (0.16 seconds)

however when searching with +vbseo it's only 150 pages and still 100% of the 47,300 are old URLs.

i see big drop:: Results 1 - 10 of about 23,600 from mpcdownloads.com. (0.19 seconds)

For months the vBSEO Sitemap Generator was not installed. I've only re-installed it about a month ago so it is being re-indexed like crazy over the last couple weeks. It's been increasing a lot since I've re-installed it.

where is everyone getting these stats from? I'd like to start a review too, but have no clue how to...lol
