    vBSEO installed a month ago: no results

    Hello, I installed vBSEO a month ago and I still have no visits. I have the same visits I had before I installed this product. Is this normal?
    This is my forum: Klayz.com Community.
    Can you please give me some advice?

    Hello Norman,


    • Please remove your welcome message from appear on showthread make it only in forumhome it will make a negative effect with search engines
    • Setup vBSEO RR's and use vBSEO.Com RR's format
    • We don't need SE to crawl and index calendar or FAQ so remove them from navbar from guests only and also disallow them from robots.txt
    • Disable vBSEO footer archive links from vBSEOCP
    • Disable your vBulletin Archive
    • Remove your current H1 since you will use it in vBSEO RR's
    • Fix your XHTML Errors : [Invalid] Markup Validation of http://www.klayz.com/community/f4/ciao-tutti-3958/ - W3C Markup Validator
    • Include only showthreads and forumdisplay pages in your sitemap
    • Are you use vBSEO Conditional Signature ?


    Let me know if you have any questions about these tips

    Done.

    Setup vBSEO RR's and use vBSEO.Com RR's format
    Ok, I will try with this.


    We don't need SE to crawl and index calendar or FAQ so remove them from navbar from guests only and also disallow them from robots.txt
    Ok, I will do this.

    Disable vBSEO footer archive links from vBSEOCP
    Disable your vBulletin Archive
    I don't understand. Reading this: Why the vBulletin archive is useless and counterproductive is say I should use vBSEO with the archive. Now should I disable it?

    Remove your current H1 since you will use it in vBSEO RR's

    Ok.

    Include only showthreads and forumdisplay pages in your sitemap
    Should I disable the archive pages too? Just showthread and forumdisplay?

    Are you use vBSEO Conditional Signature ?
    No. Should I?

    I would say since the archive is a typical copy of your forum threads content then that's is duplicate so why I need to duplicate my content but with another fast design ? You should disable it.

    Should I disable the archive pages too? Just showthread and forumdisplay?
    Yes, Just showthreads and forumdisplay

    No. Should I?
    Yes you should.

    You doesn't do what I have asked before, I said you should post new threads daily, Google want the "ACTIVE" Forum not a forum that have a lots of threads but not active, Search engines want the new "FRESH" content not an old content.

    As I see from your forum statistics that the last 5 threads is during 2 months :(
    That's mean in 2 months 5 threads or posts has been added to your forum which is very bad to search engines in the first and your forum in second.

    Starting a new forum requires an active user base--- even if that userbase it just you. As Marco suggests, you need to be adding content daily. vBSEO can't help you index content that doesn't exist.
