Well - the search engines are crawling your site. That's a good start. They've taken notice of the new structure.

I recommend removing the www.sub.domain option

are showing as duplicate content all over the site, this is something I overlooked the last time we talked Bob, or I would of fixed it then.


and btw.. the pr change wouldn't have anything to do with vbseo, but congrats anyways

cheers

I didn't mention before that Brandon "Loco" was the guy that got my SEO setup, good job.

Do you mean in the CP settings of the vBulletin or the DNS?

I found this on G

What happens once I tell you my preferred domain?


Once you tell us the preferred domain for your site, we use that information for all future crawls of your site and indexing refreshes. For instance, if you specify your preferred domain as http://www.example and we find a link to your site that is formatted as http://example.com, we follow that link as http://www.example.com instead. In addition, when we list your pages in the search results, we will take your preference into account when displaying the URLs.

Note that it may take some time before you see this change fully reflected in our index. All pages that currently display the non-preferred version of the URL in the index will remain in the index that way until we refresh our indexing of those pages.

So which one we should prefer. It is not so clear for me...

It is up to webmasters own decision. They don't differ at all but you need to redirect one to another in order to prevent duplicate url's.

I've bounced this issue off a few SEO people they said to go with the www.

The SE will do a second dns lookup to convert a url without www. automatically not only G

Thanks for the reply Mert. Finally;

So what should be done is: For Number 1 Forum - Kaliteli Payla??m Forumunuz >> "Disallow: /forum/showpost.php" for robots.txt and from vbseo settings set this option to NO >> Select "Yes" to include your show post pages in your sitemaps (showpost.php).
