Rewrite urls hack FREE

Just seen this hack; TfSEO: a Light Url-Rewrite (thread and forum only) - Page 2 - vBulletin.org Forum

Anyone used it? It looks good, puts the urls like f50 ect..

The only gripe I have is will it be supported for future versions? Very unlikely, therefore you will lose all your indexed pages ect..

Regards Jason

you already have vbseo. going to that would be like trading in your bugatti veryon for a le car

I'm not saying I'm going with it, I'm happy with vBSEO! I just thought I'd post here and see what everyones thoughts are

Even if it was able to duplicate 100% the URL re-write rules of vBSEO then it would still go back to the argument seen time & time again on various community sites... if every feature of vBSEO was available as a free hack then how much would it be worth to you as a site administrator to have all of those hacks not only bundled together but also fully supported?

For most people the initial cost of a vBSEO license & yearly renewals are a cheap price considering the support that is given to the product. It could be argued that it is the level of support provided by the vBSEO team is what the real value of the product is. When you have tens of thousands (and in some cases, hundreds of thousands or even millions) or re-written URLs indexed by the SEs, you want to make sure that you can reach a support person pretty fast in case there is a problem.

Like I said in my previous post; I am not installing this! I just wanted to show people.

I also have the exact same same feelings about TAZ

All other factors ignored, rewriting *some* URLs is not sufficient to achieve link consensus:
Pin the Tail on the SEO Donkey (with Link Consensus)!

This hack has much less effort than the other attempts and I suspect it's 15 seconds of fame has already passed.

I hope it's not because of my post I did my best to provide a useful comparison.

I wouldn't use that hack, I have no need for it with vbseo.... although I'm always on the look for SEO tips. vbseo is an excellent start but search engines change, competitors do things and you need to be always on the move.

It's not necessary to bash competitors products, really, vbseo is great and only needs to keep improving, any other product would never keep up. I have read a lot of posts from here and I am under the impression that most of the staff are SEO experts. I like that. That advice itself given in the forums is for me as valuable as vbseo itself.

Yes, the staff here are great. Although I would never call someone an "expert".

Why? Is it impolite in some way or not accurate? I have never seen it used in a bad context.

I mean expert in the sense of "reliable source of information". I think they are.

Yes, they are good and very informative. But to call someone an 'expert'... That would mean you know every single thing, in which I'm sure they don't. I don't mind anyone using it, I just don't believe anyone is an 'expert'.
