Pre purchase questions + LinkBack

Is LinkBack something that VBSEO produced?

Also, if I already ahve something like 250 000 results indexed on Google,. do I even need VBSEO. I liked the LuinkBakc thing, but is it constantly updated (for exampel create link for the next digg etc)

Finally, that guy who bought the BMW M3, did he sell VBSEO or did he just have a porn site

Also, any issues with installing it on a 3,5? Should I wait and do 3,6 and then upgrade?

Thanks.

Re: Linkbacks

LinkBack is term coined by the vBSEO team, and includes (1) PingBacks, (2) TrackBacks, and (3) RefBacks. The former two are methods of interlinking between two sites in a blog mechanism. The later is a method devised specifically by the vBSEO team to discover links to your site, and create automatic interlinking in real time. Find out more here:

Re: When to use vBSEO

vBSEO includes a vast number of SEO features and options, and optimizes your forum on a thread by thread, page by page basis for the thousands of terms occurring naturally in the user generated content created within forums. Any vBulletin forum can benefit from vBSEO.

Re: vBulletin 3.5.x vs. vBulletin 3.6.x

You can proceed with your installation on vBulletin 3.5.x. Many of our users are still running on that series. It won't create any additional complications now if you install vBSEO and then upgrade to vBulletin 3.6.x later.

I like several options you offering, especially tjhe .linkback and permalink ones. However I am veru heistant to change my current links, since they are linked fro all over the web and impossible to change. But the big thing here is the URL changes if I understood it correctly?

Well, vBSEO has a vast number of features and options, many of which are separate from our Content Relevant URL features.

However, this is a core component, since it helps to build "link consistency" and "link consensus", while also removing large amounts of duplicate paths (or URLs) to the same content.

This will not only help to boost your potential relevance for terms on a thread by thread, page by page basis - it will also make the search engine bot crawling process far more efficient. This is very important for forums, which have thousands of user generated thread pages.

You certainly do not want search engines stumbling in the dark when they visit your forum, nor do you want them to continually download the same pages when they can be discovering and indexing your newest content or updated threads.

Without vBSEO, from a search engine bot perspective, it's similar to being blind folded, stumbling through a complex maze, looking for a deck of 52 cards... with thousands of duplicate cards lying all over the floor!

vBSEO removes the blind fold, hands the SE bot a map, makes the maze into a straight line with a single path from A to Z, gets rid of all the extra cards, and neatly stacks the 52 you're looking for.

So, given that we have 301 redirects in place, to ensure the the bots can find your new CRUs from existing links, on top of the benefits vBSEO will provide, you should certainly consider vBSEO as an option for your forum. Thousands of forums have discovered and installed vBSEO. Make sure you get the jump on your competitors.
