    Red face Could this software help WeedSpeak.com?

    Hello, we are a new marijuana reform and information community. While we are still getting settled in the web (adding/deleting scripts, fixing tiny bugs, ect) I stumbled upon this site.

    I have been paying a company.. Blast Engine - Submit your website to over 1,000,000 search engines and directories to place us on search engines under keywords such as marijuana, weed, marijuana reform, yada yada.

    I have seen very little result and am not very happy with the service. I was thinking of using:

    Top 10 search engine ranking, AOL Lycos Google ranking placements this service to gain our rankings. We don't need to be number 1 or even number 3 on the search engines but being in the top 10 to 30 would be nice.

    Will this software help with that? Do you believe the "servicewrap.net" service is a scam or helpful? This is a very tricky art, this SEO. I can't tell what is a scam and what will actually work, heh.

    I'm not sure your site will be accepted because of the content, I'll let staff answer. As for the links, that is part of the fuctions of vbseo

    "I'm not sure your site will be accepted because of the content" Are you saying you would refuse our business because of a political view? I don't understand your statement. It is controversial, yes, but we haven't been refused business, yet.

    Are you saying that if I install this advertisements will be placed into posts as what just happened in my 1st post? Can that option be turned off?



    Thank you for the quick reply!

    Those aren't advertisements, vBSEO grabs the page title of links that are posted (optionally). It helps put more keywords on your pages.

    As for the content, it will be up to the management to decide.

    The policy disallows use by sites that discuss illegal activities.

    That sounds fair enough. I understand that it is controversial and we are working with political organizations such as Marijuana Policy Project - Home to reduce mis-information. As for my original questions: In your professional opinion do you think sites such as Google search engine ranking website promotion, Yahoo top 10 website ranking are scams or actually helpful? Will this software boost our ranking a bit? (If approved.)

    IMO, "seo specialists" are nothing more than a waste of money.

    If you run a vBulletin forum, this is the software you want. I'm sure it will be way cheaper too.

    Marijuana is iffy... while it is illegal most places, it is legal in medicinal purposes in California, and Colorado recently got lax on it (illegal to sell, but legal to have/smoke or something like that). Again, the management team will have the final word on that.

    IMO, I would think so long as its promoting legal use, discussing the "drug" in a legal manner, and not pushing for smoking, selling bongs, and talking about last night's clam back session, I would imagine it would be ok. But what do i know... lol

    Thumbs up

    We are an open community and provide educational information and links. We are new so it will take time to build information.

    I would appreciate it if the management would post here on their decision regarding our approval.

    Thanks for the SOE tip!

    Thanks! We will be purchasing it soon!

    Is there any negative effects from using this software?

    I didn't like that option which changed the text at all, nor would the community like it. =/

    Will this interfere with phpadsnew at all?

    Could you list some demo forums this is being used on?

    All options are configurable via the vBSEO Control Panel.

    Will this interfere with phpadsnew at all?
    Yes - we have users who are running both successfully: VBSEO and Phpadnews

    Could you list some demo forums this is being used on?
