VBadvanced good or bad for seo?

I am planning on buying another license for another site of mine and am also wanting to use VBadvanced. Now, I'm wondering of using VBadvanced will have a negative impact on my site as currently when you go to it all my forum topics are displayed, so I imagine google and the other search engine should be able to index all this fine.

But after installing vbadvanced and just displaying 'recent threads' on my homepage, will it not index everything or take longer? Will it [search engines] only index my recent threads?

I've seen sites with vBa get indexed just fine.

I think it gets crawled just fine.

Though when i first opened my forums, i was ranking number 1 for my search term without vbadvanced after switching to vBadvanced i mysterisouly started dropping, and now i'm on like page 6 all of a sudden.

The only thing changed from ranking #1 to page 6 was vbA being installed....

I am a total noobie, however this is just a random idea I had. Perhaps submitting a "webpage map" will minimize the problem. I don't even know what a webpage map is, but I've heard bits and pieces of things here and there and this is just an idea that I was planning on working on after a while.

Does anyone know if having vbadvanced integrated into the forumhome page is a good/bad idea for SEO, or does it not make any difference?

Thanks

vba itself is, in MY opinion, a waste. Tons of people use it, but i see little point to it.

all its doing is making duplicate links to your content.... its not 'adding' anything to your site.

other than an initial page load, 99% of your page views will still end up in the forum home, not on the vba page.

Depends on why you want it though - if you offer more bits than a forum, vBa is a great way to showcase everything you have (you can add latest bits to side bars etc, put latest news where everyone will see it).

Sure, vBadvanced wont give you much right out of the box. Thats not where the power of this application is. vba gives you the ability to code php for your vbulletin without having to worry about placing it on the page, styles, authentication, etc. You just code your module and select where you want your module to display on the page and you are done.

For example, we have created social networking profiles utilizing vbadvanced:
Home - Profile

This is an extremely powerful product.

The only SEO shortfall of vBA CMPS that I'm aware of is when using pages and getting dynamic urls as a result.

That is something I disliked from the get go and dont use as a result.

I totally don't agree that multiple anchors to threads and such is a negative. In fact, I would submit multiple anchors to a thread is a postive SEO method.

Other then that, I can't see it having anything to do with SEO.

My 2 month old, now PR4, CMPS home page at www.cbrxx.com disagrees with you. And PR6 on the CMPS page at www.fireblades.org.

Could you please point out a shortcoming that you are aware of as far as presentation and or end user usability?

Implemetation is subjective, so if you hate how it works on the back end, that's one thing. But that has nothing to do with the end result.

Plus vBadvanced.com being a PR7 tends to disagree with him as well.

(And my personal sites, all with vBa on the front page, are PR4, PR4, & PR6 )
