Hello - looking for pre sale answers

Well people,

Richie here. Just lurking at the mo. Currently on a phpbb based site but looking to convert to vB and use vbseo to increase traffic and all that jazz

Hi Michael,

I am just searching first before I post. But I will let you know my scenario


As the opening post said, currently on a heavly hacked phpbb2 site and I am trying now to see about the conversion process to vb before I move over. I know its nothing vbseo related... its a conversion issue.

I am more concerned with my old phpbb urls (3000 topics, 45,000 posts) with a lot of links have high rankings. Its the organic back links more so, as I know that the search listing will update eventually.

Do you see what I mean?

Richie, you will definitely experience some period of fluctuation if you update from phpBB to vBulletin. Like Mike said, we do have a tool that can help with that. One very positive thing is that vBSEO in combination with our vBSEO sitemap will help accelerate the update.

If you can tolerate that period of transformation, then you'll end up on the most optimized forum plus SEO combination available out there: vBulletin + vBSEO.
