4-Month Old forum; Professional reviews please.

[redhawk89]

Hey there, I was wondering if I could get professional reviews of SaskForum as I bought vb-seo today and only just added it, and I'm fairly new to the SEO game -- actually, a total noob.

Any suggestions you can offer would be very much appreciated!

Hi,

Wonderful forum..

You have missed one step in your facebook login install, I think you missed the little bit to place at the bottom, under footer...

Aw thanks! You really like it?

I removed the facebook addon completely -- it was more grief that it was worth!!

I'll definitely be doing those suggestions in step one later today. Any other suggestions?

Thanks for these suggestions!! One I don't understand is installing vBSEO sig? What does that do?

Thanks for these suggestions!! One I don't understand is installing vBSEO sig? What does that do?

• * Increases keyword density for keywords related to the thread topic.
• * Reduces outbound links.
• * Boosts ratio of content to outbound links.
• * Conserves Google PageRank.
• * Improves onpage search engine optimization for relevant keywords.
• * Encourages users to post more detailed messages (helping you build more valuable content).
• * Discourages users from posting with the sole purpose of establishing outbound links to their website(s) within the thread.
• * Reduce the amount of signature clutter within threads.
• * Optionally applies signature actions for pages accessible by guests and search engine crawlers only.

Hmm... I would install it, except that vBSEO Conditional Signature mod is only for VB 3.5, and I'm running 3.7!

[redhawk89]

Also, is there a way to remove calendar from the navbar for guests only?

Another thing.. I don't really understand what Relevant Replacements are supposed to do?

I installed VBSig, should I configure it a certain way?

Is Virtual HTML something everyone should be using on their forum, or is it something I might have to skip if I'm using Cyb Adsense?

hmm, i didn't understand what you mean ? can you explain more ?

Another thing.. I don't really understand what Relevant Replacements are supposed to do?

This is done to help improve search engine ranking for the terms that are included.

I installed VBSig, should I configure it a certain way?

No , This Options as you like

Is Virtual HTML something everyone should be using on their forum, or is it something I might have to skip if I'm using Cyb Adsense?

Also As you Like
But i highly recommended use Virtual HTML Display

Hey there, what I meant by that is when you recommended that I change the code in my NAVBAR template, well, the code wasn't actually in there TO change. I suspect this may be as a result of the fact that I'm using my HEADER template, to some extent, in place of my NAVBAR. (I had 2 "navbar's", so I deleted the NAVBAR one and focused on developing the HEADER code, which contained my main navbar.

Any other useful suggestions would definitely be appreciated!

[marco1]

My apologies for the Late Reply Peter
Oh Good i check your Templates and i saw the Calender Code in your Header Template

[redhawk89]

Ok cool! Is there anything else you would change at all? Or should I leave it be?
