    Critique Please: Cotilleando

    www.cotilleando.com

    • Entertaintment site (main language: Spanish)
    • Founded in 2004
    • PR 2/10 (I know...)
    • Adsense since late 2008, I didn't even knew about it before that
    • Started tagging the site this year and to get into SEO and positions, before that the people were getting into my site pretty much on a worth of mouth basis.
    • Got a VPS last year after been kicked out from several hosting companies (bandwith and resources eater they said)
    • Got a webmaster for the first time a year/half ago or so, pretty much the site were running wild and with tons of good luck.
    I just bought and installed the vbseo, actually you guys installed for me. Those are my statistics so far before vbseo:







    I don't know if this is the right place to put statistics and stuff, you guys let me know please since I'm a newbie.

    Gracias Marco. I will work on all your recommendations tonight since my webmaster came back from vacations. I bought the vbseo w/ installation so I don't know about the vbseo sig... probably my webmaster will be able to tell me later on, not that's he's a master but the Tutorials seems to be pretty informatives.

    How can I get the vbseo style 2?.

    In the future I will try to have a custom made skin just for my site but since it cost $$ I have been investing on most important things, I did have some vbulletin Styles once but uninstalled since my members didn't used them; if you don't have it by default forget it.

    Will implement all your advices and get back to you.

    Thank you Marco. Question: How can I tell if I'm receiving significant traffic or not to my showpost pages?. Can you tell me looking at the Google Analytic pictures Id left on my first post?, if it shows where I think it is I'm seeing forumdisplay...

    What is a showpost anyways? Sorry about the ignorance, learning as I go.

    I'm trying to replace showposts with permalinks but there is a warning.

    Thanks.

    Question:

    Our Installation Service Includes:

    1. Upload and configuration of .htaccess file
    2. Upload of vBSEO scripts
    3. Import of vBSEO Product to vBulletin Control Panel
    4. Default configuration of vBSEO options
    5. Basic installation troubleshooting
    6. Moving .htaccess commands to httpd.conf (for dedicated servers only; requires extra access permissions)
    7. Basic configuration of mod_rewrite or ISAPI_Rewrite (where possible only)
    Extras:

    • Set-up and configuration of the vBSEO Sitemap Generator
    • Set-up of Relevant Replacements on your forum.
    • URL Canonicalization (URL Consolidation) settings including:
      1. Activating vBSEO's Homepage Aliases feature - Will 301 redirect homepage URL variations (i.e /index.php, /index.php?) to the root directory.
      2. Setting .htaccess (or httpd.conf) rules to 301 redirect all non-www type URLs to www type URLs or vice-versa.
    • Basic forum setting check including:
      1. Removing thread pruning so that all threads are visible to Search Engines.
      2. Removal of "Powered by vBulletin" text from your title tags.
    Are those Extras included on the 79.00 fee installation?

    Ex. When I type, Zapatos de Letizia, Google will bring my site no matter if the name is Cotilleos y Actualidad Personajes blah blah blah or just Cotilleando.

    Regarding the www my site works both ways with the www.name.com and name.com

    Do you think that will be a problem in terms of positioning?.

    Hello,

    We Make 301 Redirect between these sites. Once you do that, you will get full search engine credit for your work on these sites.

    For example, Cotilleos y Actualidad Personajes Famosos y del Corazón, Monarquia. seems to have 2,380 inbound links whereas cotilleando.com has 3,246 inbound links. By correctly configuring a permanent 301 redirect, the search rankings might improve as all inbound links are correctly counted for the website.
