Non VB Pages

Hi, I am running vbulletin in a subdir with vbadvanced on the main index. I also have extra pages of content, that already have their own static urls.

How does vbseo work with the extra pages, specifically with regards to sitemap, linking and the vb archive? The static pages are all called from vb templates so they keep with the site design.

Thanks in advance

Re: Non VB Pages

vBSEO has some ability to change the general functionality of the vBulletin Archive. vBSEO can rewrite all archive URLs to automatically point to their original content equivalent, this can usually help to consolidate PageRank spread throughout your forum.

Also, vBSEO has the ability to change the name of the subfolder which the archive is located within. For example, instead of the archive index page being; ./archive/index.php/ you could change this to just ./sitemap/

vBSEO will not effect the way in which your extra pages are rendered or their general look. The pages will just not have a search engine friendly URL, unless personally specified within the Custom Rewrite Rule module.

Re: Non VB Pages

I was more after how will it include all those extra pages with the sitemap/archive. They are static pages with static urls, nothing dynamic and they will only change should I go and edit them.

As a result they already have search engine friendly urls, hence I have them seperate from vb rather than using the pages option from vbadvanced.

Re: Non VB Pages

As with the default vBulletin setup only vBulletin generated URLs will be included into the vBulletin archive. vBSEO doesnt change this. However, with the introduction of the vBulletin Plugin System, you should be able to manually insert linkbacks into all your Sitemap generated pages to your seperate static pages without having to endure the pain of modifying core vBulletin code manually.

Re: Non VB Pages

Would the vbseo sitemap generator make something like that easier. I think what I am really asking is if it spiders my site to get all the links and pages?

Re: Non VB Pages

I believe there is the ability to currently include additional URLs within the vBSEO Sitemap. Although i think support to only include vbadvanced generated pages has been included, not to sure about including manually created pages too.

Re: Non VB Pages

This would be a large part of why I would fork out the cash for vbseo. Has anyone had experience of this.

Thanks for the input Micheal

Re: Non VB Pages

vBSEO Sitemap Generator has the ability to include the 'non-vB' files.. it's just a matter of defining them within one of the modules.

One of the Documenter Staff (Oleg et al) will be able to help more than I.

Re: Non VB Pages

I'll jump in
It is possible to let vBSEO Sitemap Generator add your non-vBulletin links in google sitemap as easy as this: just put all these links in extra-urls.txt file (one URL per line) and re-generate the sitemap.

This feature is apart of vBSEO Sitemap Generator, which is freely available to licensed vBulletin customers over at vBulletin.org. vBSEO Pro is the commercial seo solution.

Ah, yes i forgot about the extra-urls.txt file

Re: Non VB Pages

Ok I have vbseo installed and running nicely, certainly saved me a lot of bother doing it all myself.

Now with regards to the sitemap (which I am yet to install)

Any extra pages I add to extra-urls.txt

will these get added to the sitemap/archive number links that are in the footer using <!--VBSEO_ARCHIVE_LINKS--> ?

or if not is there away of achieving this?

Re: Non VB Pages

Hello,

the URLs from extra-urls.txt file will be added to xml/txt sitemaps only for Google and Yahoo.

You should modify your vB template to add links of your choice to the footer.

Unfortunately the current intergration with vBSEO Pro and other vBSEO products, such as the Sitemap and the Conditional Signatures plugins are pretty lack-luster. Meaning you will have to manually insert these links into your footer template, rather than making use of the <!--VBSEO_ARCHIVE_LINKS--> tag.
