| Does putting restriction on members with less post reduces the SEO? I have limited guests in viewing links from post and also members with less number of posts than 10. Also at some forum, the content is visible only after members have posted atleast 10 posts. Does this restriction limit the SEO or compromises it somehow? Regards, |

| Yup. Google is a guest. It will only see what guests see. |

| Thank You! I am using this mod Cyb - Advanced Permissions Based on Post Count - vBulletin.org Forum and had specified 10 post before members can view the content of the thread |

| Yup, using that, google will see "please register...." instead of the actual content you want to index. Trust me, blocking things to improve registrations doesn't help. all it does is either a) annoy the user, so they click back to their search and try the next result b) you end up with 80% of your membership having 0 posts. What's the point of that? |

| Agreed 100%. You need to keep your content open and accessible to the search engines. Doing otherwise *might* allow you to see a few more registrations (at your current traffic levels) at the *expense of a lot of activity*. Eventually you would lose almost all of your search engine generated traffic... since it would not be available to index.
