Looking my site....

Hi all,
my site is already run from 1 year, and it is about 1 year that i'm using vbseo....
But i'm not expert of web developers (vbulletin - seo etc), i'm a informatic/computer expert (main argument in my forum) and for this, despite the vbseo work, my forum don't increase the success , indeed it is slowly decreasing..... in April with AdSense my "bonus" it was of 15 us dollars like without seo.

I've need of help for increase the success of my forum, for this i want to ask to vbseo staff and to anybody want to reply this thread:
"imagine to be in my situation, what are the changements that you take in the forum for increase a bit , the users, for increase a bit, theire desire to post, and than to revive the forum?"

I work every day in my forum, i write guide, i solve a lot of pc problems posted by the users, i apply mods/hacks for increase the power of the board, but nothing, there's some issue that don't allow me to wins this battle, it is a frustrant situation that in a lot of cases i have think of giving up all and close the forum....

If anybody want suggest me some immediately changements that i can make in my forum for increse the up arguments, will be great and i would be very grateful.

Thanks to all.

Bye

Very confused

No there are different

Learn More About Long Tail Optimize What is the Search Long Tail? - vBulletin SEO Forums
But Permalinks see the first 5 lines here : [How To] Replace Showpost Links with Permalinks - Max Out Search Engine Crawling Efficiency

No, i'm sorry, i want to know if there are differences not with replacement of showlinks and permalinks, but if
Add H1 Tags to your vBulletin Templates for Long Tail Search Optimization

is different with:[How to] Setup Relevant Replacements with vBSEO

This question is because i see for each edit a title of the post in the thread/post......

Can i remove H1 tag Thread/Post template already used by RR? In this mode will rest only the title of the forum, blog, etc

Can i remove H1 tag Thread/Post template already used by RR? In this mode will rest only the title of the forum, blog, etc

OK, No Problem but if you sure you add it in RR

Ok, i have addedd this code

Code:

<if condition="THIS_SCRIPT == 'group'">
<h1>$custompagetitle</h1>
<else />
<if condition="THIS_SCRIPT == 'album'">
<h1>$custompagetitle</h1>
<else />
<if condition="THIS_SCRIPT == 'tags'">
<h1>$tag[tagtext]</h1>
<else />
<if condition="THIS_SCRIPT == 'blog'">
<h1>$pagetitle</h1>
<else />
<if condition="THIS_SCRIPT == 'member'">
<h1>$userinfo[username]</h1>
<else />
<h1>$vboptions[bbtitle]</h1>
</if>
</if>
</if>
</if>
</if>

Under the very bottom of my navbar template, i don't have added the first two edit

Code:

<if condition="THIS_SCRIPT == 'forumdisplay'">
$foruminfo[title_clean]
<else />
<if condition="THIS_SCRIPT == 'showthread'">
<h1>$thread[title]</h1>
<else />

Because it are addedd with the other Relevant replacement Edit, it's ok Marco?

This is my RR1 codes,
for forumdisplay template:

Code:

<table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="2" width="100%" align="center" border="0"><tbody><tr><td class="alt1" width="100%"><H2><i>[forum_title]</i></H2><hr width=80% size=1 color=A9A9A9 align=left><p id="relevant_replacement"><span class="smallfont">In basso troverai una lista di discussioni della sezione <b>[forum_title]</b> di [bb_title] Forum. <b>Descrizione della sezione "[forum_title]":</b> [forum_description]</span></p></td></tr></tbody></table><br/>

In showThread template

Code:

<table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="2" width="100%" align="center" border="0"><tbody><tr><td class="alt1" width="100%"><H2><i>[thread_title]</h2></i><hr width=80% size=1 color=A9A9A9 align=left><p id="relevant_replacement"><span class="smallfont">Questa è la discussione <b><em>[thread_title]</em></b> della sezione <b>[forum_title]</b>, della categoria <b>[parent_forum_title]</b> ; <i>[first_post_20_words]...</i></span></p></td></tr></tbody></table><br/>
