vb advanced link directory questions!

Hi I am thinking about adding vba link directory. I am just wondering, if it is a good thing to use it together with my forum (on the same site, but under the page name directory)? I also heard rumors that it's not compatible with vbseo, is this true and will this affect my forum seo?

Thank you very much!

vba links works fine with vbseo. There's even user-contributed addons for the sitemap for it.

All links can effect your site. As long as they are quality links, it shouldn't be an issue. You can always set it to members only so guests/bots can't see it and thus has 0 bearing on seo at all if you're worried about it.

Ok, thank you very much, will a quality directory have any good affect on the rest of the site? for example giving me a better page rank?

it won't have any bearing on page rank. page rank is based on links in, not links out.... plus, it's a useless metric.

Ok, thank you for your time Brian!

As long as addition has good quality and design for you visitors. It'll also goodly influence your seo ranks. I personally zero link for forum users. somehow and some ofthem can add bad quality links and moderating these is taking for me lot of time. If i were you i would not use it for this reason not for seo.
