I didn't rewrite the members' URLS because I don't include the member / showpost on my sitemap.

I will install vBSEO 3.3 RC2 this weekend, I'm a little scared since this is a "RC" version, I hope it doesn't cause any problem with my forum.

No there is no problem on RC Version if you had any problem post it here and you will found the solution

- $vboptions[bbtitle] removed this today, I'm still far ahead from your recommendations. thanks.

just updated to 3.3.0

For some reason, google is removing some of the pages from the index, 1 month ago I had like 10,000 URLs indexed.

Right now I have:

Results 1 - 10 of about 6,070 from EK9.org: JDM EK9 Honda Civic Type R Forum. (0.06 seconds)

I hope I'm not being penalized or something, I only changed the thread titles

Also the traffic is going down... :(

Your forum SEO 55% Without these changes

marco1,

I'm posting a image taken from google analytics, you can check out how the traffic DROPPED after removing the forum title from the showthread pages.

Traffic is coming back again after I added again the forum title to the showthread, you can see it in the graph, the blue line is going up again.



So, this gives us a big lesson:

Should we remove forum title from the showthread?

I think only Google can answer this ...

Well, i waiting some days after remove forum name in the threadpages
So i have a picture to you from my site after removing forum title The Traffic is increased


There is thing Could Long Tail Optimize Check it : What is the Search Long Tail? - vBulletin SEO Forums

Should we remove forum title from the showthread?

Yes We Should Remove it
