    Which one better? VBulletin+VBSeo or Phpbb+MagicSeo?

    I just wonder if Phpbb is good with the Magic Seo for the Phpbb besides pricing?

    Anyone knows about this?

    I'm in the midst of choosing one and don't want to regret later.

    Can anyone explain to me why VBulletin is a better choice and why not Phpbb?

    Thanks.

    vBulletin is more user friendly, aside from that you can seo them both well. vBSEO has some extra features like social bookmarking, pings and trackbacks, etc. that probably make it stand out, and it's easy to use and update compared to phpBB modifications which require code edits usually. Ultimately the choice should come down to phpBB3 vs vBulletin, but that choice is clear if you have the budget.
    Submit you're vBSEO'd forum to these quality web directories: Azook, a Paid Directory, Linkature Directory, Free Website Directory, and GoGlance.

    What's the URL of the main phpbb3 modification site?

    IMO, vbulletin.org is what made vBulletin the choice for me.

    So, what's the analysis about 80 modifications? More is better or less is better? What about vBulletin?

    Ops... I'm poor in the internet slang...

    vBulletin.org Forum - The Official vBulletin Resource! is the unofficial vBulletin Modification site. It does have many more than 80 mods available.

    I can't speak to the software itself, having only used phpBB2 several years ago. phpBB3 appears to be a fine piece of software, a fine piece of free software.

    Mmm... What about SEO? Is vBulletin better in this?

    Don't know which one to choose.. .

    Until this thread, I hadn't heard of magic seo, so I can't comment on it, nor have I used phpBB3.

    I think the number of people who have used both extensively, and are therefore able to comment on the comparison, would be quite few.
