Recommendation

Would you recommend installing vBSEO / vBSEO Google sitemap for a brand new forum? Is that going to help better than having a forum with members / posts and THEN installing the two products?

I guess my question is: Is it a good idea to start out from scratch with vBSEO? Or should one let the forum build up over time and then install vBSEO?

Thanks,

If you are serious about running forum, I would definitely recommend that you install vBSEO & our sitemap generator at launch for your new forum. Ideally, with vBSEO installed, increased traffic to your forum should help accelerate your forum's growth.

While installing vBSEO later (i.e. after it already has content indexed in the search engines), everything will still be ok, but you will probably end up spending a lot of time monitoring your search engine results as it updates from the old dynamic URLs to our new optimized CRUs (Content Relevant URLs).

Hi XBleed,

I installed vbseo before I started my forum. You can see what's happened to me so far in this thread.

Good luck, Ross

Oh, there's no doubt in my mind that I'm serious about this site. I am aiming to have it be my source of income.. so of course I would like to use vBSEO to help with the traffic / clean URL's / etc.

I was just curious if it was better to start, cause for some reason I'd like to compare having it, and not having it.. To see how much of a difference vBSEO really makes for me.

But ideally, it seems that the best choice would be to launch it with the products. I'll be purchasing as soon as the launch is ready.

Thanks.

And thanks to you also, rmjvol.. That's reassuring and good to know.
