Critique or points to improve on site & forum

[BiZiMDiYaR]

Hi,

We have just installed vbseo, I would like to know how the site is according to your expert eyes.. Do we need to improve some items, change settings or so, meta names not correct, bad things for Google etc... ? Please advise and any comment good or bad is very much welcome and we would like to improve and get more knowledge on the whole picture. Has vbseo been setup correctly and does it work accordingly ? How much time until we should see some effects of the vbseo ?

Site: AleMiM Forumlari, Gurbetci Turklerin Paylasim Platformu - Powered by AleMiM.EU


p.s. they said that at the main forum page, we should remove the site map links as Google would see this as spam. Should it be removed or not, please advise on this as very unclear at this moment.

Thanks.

I would remove the "Powered by ... " message you have in your homepage title.

I noticed that your top 5 stats plugin is not rewriting the URLs.

I like that you seem to have many forums, which likely have detailed keywords. I do not know for sure, since it is not in English.

I like how you have removed the links to last post for each forum on your homepage. I think this will increase the stability of your homepage keyword relevancy (for forum name keywords).

Hi,

Thanks you very much for your comments and have checked it out on the website. Please help for below and thanks.

I would remove the "Powered by ... " message you have in your homepage title.
** Done, removed

I noticed that your top 5 stats plug in is not rewriting the URLs.
** We checked, but couldn't understand where the problem was, could you please help to advise on how to solve this and for what purpose actually ?? Is this a plug in problem ?


** We have changed the items you have mentioned, are there other things that we can change to improve the performance vor the SEO part and maybe for the performance of the whole site. Maybe you can have a better look at the site and help us out on the problem parts. Many thanks for your help on this.

Best regards,

Ufuk
