Add Threads to ThreadSoup.com Mod (Get Backlinks & Traffic)

[Jibber]

OK a lot of you have probably already read about ThreadSoup.


If not check out this thread.

Well I am now releasing a free mod for vBulletin. (3.6.x)

Easy to add, just 1 quick copy/paste template edit.

In the SHOWTHREAD template FIND this line:

<!-- / controls above postbits -->

Then just add this code BELOW it:

<!-- START THREADSOUP.COM CODE -->
<table class="tborder" cellpadding="$stylevar[cellpadding]" cellspacing="$stylevar[cellspacing]" border="0" width="100%" align="center" style="border-bottom-width:0px">
<tr>
    <td class="thead" width="100%">
        Bookmark this thread at ThreadSoup: 
<a href="http://www.threadsoup.com/submit.php?phase=2&url=$vboptions[bburl]/showthread.php?t=$threadid" target="_blank"><img class="inlineimg" src="http://www.threadsoup.com/favicon.ico" alt="BookMark This Thread On ThreadSoup.com!" border="0" /> <a href="http://www.threadsoup.com/submit.php?phase=2&url=$vboptions[bburl]/showthread.php?t=$threadid" target="_blank">Add it!</a>        

 </td>
  </tr>
</table>
<!-- END THREADSOUP.COM CODE -->

Thanks and let me know what you think.

vBSEO 3.0.0 RC7 has built in support for adding custom entries.

Looks like digg copy. Add this to the zoints boardtracker share your content type site list. :/

[Jibber]

Well that's exactly what it is.... but then... aren't all the other sites listed in the social bookmarking feature in vbseo digg copies?

vBSEO 3.0.0 RC7 has built in support for adding custom entries.

I'm running RC6 let me upgrade.

[noppid]

Yeah, I guess it's just hard to find something that isn't harvesting members or content that's worth using IMO.

Promises of forum glory to new forum owners that don't know better. My pet peeve.

[Jibber]

I hear ya there.

That's why I put so much effort into marketing the site and it's pre-development.

I have plenty of sites that get thousands of uniques per day so I know how to promote a site. Unlike similar site owners, this is not a hobby for me. It is my livlihood.

I'm not only promoting this site in the forum webmaster community but I am also promoting it to the general public so that I actually have some traffic to send to all the webmasters submitting threads. With this mod soon your users will be submitting threads so you don't have to.

My reasoning behind this mod is simple. The more people that find out about ThreadSoup on your forums and others the more traffic ThreadSoup can send to any forum that gets a link on the front page.


It's an undeniable fact that digg send enormous amounts of traffic to sites on it's front page. I'm not promising you get that much traffic in a few weeks but I can promise you'll have free backlinks and that I'll do everything in my power to ensure this site is getting 2k uniques in the next week or so. It got 800 yesterday.

One thing I notice is that the links are real. That in itself makes your service hands above at least one other that I have disdain for.

I have not tried a site with your code on it to submit a link, but a cursory look at your service after this continued discussion has me changing my opinion of how you do business.

Your model seems more of a service then self serving. Keep up the good work.

If you can give me the correct code/url to put in the custom field I will add it to my forum

Also can there be an automotive section added?

[Jibber]

OK Automotive category added.

Not all categories show up on the home page yet because not all of them have entries yet.

I'm trying to figure out the vbseo addon code now.

[Jibber]

Well I'm lookign in my vbseocp and I don't see where to add code...

I'm runnign RC6 and I don't see a download for RC7 in my control panel...

@BamastangGuy - Can I release this mod on vbzone?

[Keith Cohen]

RC7 isn't available to the general public yet. The pre-release team is still testing it.

[BamaStangGuy]

Yes feel free to post the modification here: vBulletin 3.6 Modifications

Keith can you help me figure out how to add his site to my Bookmarking area?

I need the correct url to put in there. I got his Icon and Text to show up but the URL he gave above doesn't work through VBSEO addon

[Keith Cohen]

It looks like this should work:
