    Just a few questions before I buy.

    I have a new website, just started several months ago, using vBulletin Suite 4.0.

    What kind of benefits would I get from installing vBSEO as well, since the archive thread links have been fixed to direct to the actual threads and the thread links themselves are all "static" links?

    What kinds of other things would I be able to look forward to vBSEO changing that would better help my traffic? Lord knows I can use all the traffic help I can get, but I (like everyone else I'm sure) like to know EXACTLY what it is I'm paying for before I buy.

    Oh, and what will happen to all of my current forum/thread/post links if I install vBSEO? If I change the format of all of my links, will Google lower my ranking because all of the old links will no longer be working?

    Hello Micheal, welcome to vBSEO! .

    The set of vBSEO features includes a lot of SEO optimized features to give a "more attractive look" to your site in front of the look of the search engines (more than one-hundred options to configure at your taste). You will enjoy custom friendly URLs (speaking literally, there are infinite ways to configure them), which are better seen for bots because that CRU's (content static URLs) will include threads titles keywords to help you increase your long tail search.

    You also will be able to configure Relevant Replacements, one of the most powerful feature of vBSEO to help you to increase the relevancy of the first words of each thread, which contains the most important content by using H1, H2 and H3 tags. There are much other features like acronym expansion (give an opportunity to that important keywords to looks more attractive), stop words filtering, a powerful engine to build your own static pages using our Custom Rewrite Rules, management of 404 error pages, and much more features that yo can explore in our Features page.

    About your indexed content, vBSEO will take care of 301 redirect vBulletin standard URLs (i.e. showthread.php?t=123), however, if you are currently using vBulletin 4 friendly URLs, we may provide you with some 301 rewrite rules to redirect all of your indexed content to new vBSEO'ed URLs.

    Please let me know if you have any further questions. I'll be here to gladly assist you.

    Best regards,
    Andrés.

    Thanks for your reply. At this point I'm actually considering giving vbSEO a shot, but I just want to make absolutely sure. Again, thanks for the reply. I'll definitely be looking at everything you've mentioned here.

    Andrés, thanks for your help to this point. I do have a few new questions though.

    1. Will having vBSEO installed on my forum make upgrading the vB software any, or any more of a lengthy process?
    2. Would I be able to use vBSEO even if my forum is using a custom skin/theme?
    3. Will I have to make any changes to the vB templates, or will vBSEO make all the necessary changes for me?

    I knew it! I have yet another question.

    I'd like to have www.domain.com point directly to my forums. Also, I'd like to have www.domain.com/articles/ go to the cms and www.domain.com/blogs/ go to the blogs. Can this be done easily with vBSEO?

    This is probably a question that doesn't get asked a lot, but is vBSEO easy to uninstall as well? I mean, will it reverse all changes that it made to my forum if I decide to uninstall it?
