    Can VBSEO do this? If so then I will buy it TODAY

    Even though vbulletin have few vbseo hacks around, the problem with all of them is that none of them can do what I really want.

    For my members profile, I would like for all members profile links to be redirected to http://profiles.mysite.com/membername instead of http://www.mysite.com/vbulletin default link method or vbseo http://www.mysite.com/membername method


    Can someone tell me if this can be done? I know I will have to create a subdomain call profiles but will this work?

    You can do that yes. This is a member page from my site:
    http://www.blackburn247.com/members/minimouse.html

    I added the /members/ bit in vbseo admin, but you can customise it to what you wish.

    so in the seo admin interface where it says member profile url format, what code or link do I need to type inside that field for my member profile links to be http://profiles.mysite.com/membername.html. The current default on that field now is members/[user_name]/ . Also, the current member profile link on my site is the same default vbulletin link which is http://www.mysite.com/forums/member.php?u=1

    I know when I end up buying vbseo, it will be something like http://www.mysite.com/forums/membername.html but I dont want it like that. I want it to be http://profiles.mysite.com/membername.html

    *crosses fingers and closes eyes.... praying for it to be possible*

    the reason why I want it to be my that is because I am trying to transform my vbulletin forum instead a personals/dating site so that it wont look like just a forum.

    Please help. Even if I have to pay a little extra

    Hello Chris and welcome to vBSEO,

    Ok, I've done some tests and got it working... although I can't ensure it will work for everyone, so... consider it NOT and "official feature" but perhaps a "beta approach"

    1. Set "Member Profile URL Format" to:
    Code:
    http://profiles.mysite.com/[user_name].html
    2. Make your your vB forums reside in:
    Code:
    profiles.mysite.com
    3. Add one more rewrite rule to the vBSEO's .htaccess (at the top of others):
    Code:
     
    RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^profiles.mysite.com
    RewriteRule ^(.*.html)$ vbseo.php?vbseourl=http://profiles.mysite.com/$1&%{QUERY_STRING} [L]
    And that should "work" (at least it does in my local dev instance!)

    Currently its not possible to do this, they will need to an extra options, which allows you have have the sub-domain.

    I have suggested htp://user.forum.com but did't get any feedback.

    sub-domains for members username

    edit: good work

    And make sure you have your vBulletin cookie domain set to .yourdomain.com (Note the leading period.) That way the user will remained logged in for anything.yourdomain.com.

    OK

    but now, I still would like for my main forum to be http://www.mysite.com

    this might get a little confusing

    so does that mean all my thread and and forums and entire content of my forum will falls under the http://profiles.mysite.com/xxxxx and so on?

    I am not trying to be difficult or anything but there is no other way this can happen without me having to change the location of my forum? I mean that will ruin all my outside links and when people click on my outside links that will lead them to mysite.com/forums, they might end up getting link cannot found. Even though I can set the forum for them to be redirected to the main forum, I would still like for my outside links to be accessable when someone click on it from another site and it will lead them to the correct threads or area of my forum.

    There is no way for me to install the forum on profile.mysite.com (if thats the only way I can do it) with the mysite.com/forums link still working?

    Just point http://www.mysite.com and http://profile.mysite.com to the same location, no?

    sorry, didn't get that

    also, wouldn't my forum threads and file links changed to http://profiles.mysite.com/newreply.php http://profiles.mysite.com/forum-name/thread-name

    when it should be http://www.mysite.com/forums/newreply.php and http://www.mysite.com/forums/forum-name/thread-name instead? and I rather have the rest of my site this way but only the profile links should react to the subdomain rewrite.

    Can't this be possible?

    Oh.. sorry, I think I didn't explain step #2 properly.

    Your forums will reside in the normal installation URL (http://www.mysite.com) - Then, set up another subdomain (profiles.mysite.com) to point to the same folder (like a mirror domain). There's no need to change file locations or vBulletin options. Complete step 3 and it should work

    Exactly... Install vB in http://www.mysite.com and point http://profile.mysite.com to http://www.mysite.com

    got it.

    Thank you VERY much

    now, second question

    I have multiple sites and I was wondering if you guys give discount for multiple licenses and what are the guarantees that this will actually helps anyone's site? I mean one of my forum have 17 thousand members but the thing is that site have been up for 4 years now and if you ask me, that is one slow growing process for a community. I just hope this will help.

    Could someone else answer these questions for me please!!?? ...

    Yes, there's a bulk pricing structure in place. I'll PM you in a sec. with more info on that.

    what are the guarantees that this will actually helps anyone's site?
    As of now, I cannot give you black & white guarantee as SEO is a complex practice which requires a much more comprehensive approach than just on-page (or on-site optimization), which is what vBSEO does.

    vBSEO is NOT an SEO "Magic Pill" but I can assure you that it is a great first step, and maybe a little more.

    One thing I've notice though, is that the effectiveness of implementing vBSEO is more evident in larger (content rich) websites. Find some reviews here and you'll probably notice this trend.

    Cheers
