Strange, hope it keeps working for you now.

Well it has been working for a while I see now.

Again I can't believe the results I get from this, indexed pages from 200k to 352k !!! site - Google zoeken

Look at the result for bodybuilding.com: site:bodybuilding.com - Google zoeken

I'm only 42k pages away from beating the google index of the biggest bodybuilding website in the world

Very interesting. I really believe that bodybuilding.com does not really maximize the potential of their forum. Recently I noticed that they removed their user search on the forum!

COOP used to do very well for me. I said I would never use it again, but decided to start running the ads on one of my forums as a test. Not really using it to promote that forum very much, using half of the weight to promote another forum, LOL.

bodybuilding.com is another one of those sites that don't have to concern themselves much with doing anything to their forum.

Their search works though, not sure what you are referring to.

They should concern themselves. With all those great product review and discussion of pros, etc., they could boost their traffic... leading directly into the supersite/superstore.

They should also be place product advertising within the forums that discuss them with an automatic tool.

And, of course, they should have vBSEO in place.

Re: Search

It's there now. It didn't display the other day when I visited. Not sure if I just somehow missed it, or if they temporarily disabled it. I think they have issues with server load at certain times.

Atleast they removed the currently active users for guests I think it might be the load yes, I expect them needing server upgrades, the last thing they need now is vbseo increasing the traffic and crash the servers

nice increase of visitors.

my webalizer stats shows my forum increase in visitors approx 2 fold after installing vbseo... but i am wondering are these visitors real visitors or just spiders from search engine....

Dutchbb... How long did it take until you get reviewed in Digital Point Co-Op? I'm serving Co-Op ads since several weeks, but my own ads are still "pending review"... So I'm not getting anything from Co-Op... just serving other's links... I'm feeling kind of silly, just puting links on my forums for nothing...

Not more than a week I'm sure. Maybe contact an admin if it takes more than a month.

Thanks, I think my problem is that my Ads aren't in English, but in Spanish.. and they take some more time to validate those... I will try creating one in English...
