New Report - GridironLounge.com

Hello all...I've just purchased vBSEO and will keep you updated as to how I do. My site is Gridiron Lounge, which is a message board for fans of all 32 NFL Teams. I just recently opened it (end of March) after having a similar site for 3 years. I've been planning on using vBSEO since I opened, but just now have gotten around to purchasing and installing it.

Welcome aboard - sweet forums

Thank you Juan.


One thing I must say right away - I am very pleased with the Adsense relevancy targeting. All of my ads used to just be things like "Free Browns Tickets" or "Free Ringtones", but now a thread about a specific team will display ads that relate to that team or a thread in the Graphics Board will display ads for Photoshop Tutorials. Very nice!

Hey Buc, I see you got the welcome headers installed. Ted has updated that and has a vbseo version available. it puts the welcome header below the navbar.

Might want to take advantage of that for SEO purposes.

You can just move the output variable from the header to the bottom of the navbar template. (That was the only change he made, per my suggestion. )

Cool - Thanks for the heads up guys!

Wow, already time for the one week update!

I have seen the Yahoo Spider on my boards a lot lately.....so I think it's only a matter of time until the Yahoo number jumps way up. I also see the Google spider from time to time, but I almost never used to see it, so it's still an improvement.

Ok, it hasn't been a week since the last update yet....but I was just looking and there have been some major jumps in the Google numbers!

I wasn't expecting to see results this quickly, and I can only imagine that the numbers will continue to jump up!

I see the Yahoo spider on my boards more than any other spider, yet more than a month later the numbers are still incredibly low. Does anyone have any guesses as to why this may be happening? Is there something I can/should do?
