    Smallish not-for-profit forum - how much will this help?

    Hi,

    Its great to hear about how much this will help sites etc, but I was wanting a bit more "personal" advice from a sales team member. I currently run a small not-for-profit forum for an informal car club. I'm looking to offset hosting costs by using Google Ads, but not really making much/anything. As my situation is a bit different than the usual I was wondering who I could talk to that would be able to have a quick lookover my site, and give me a bit more "personal" sales advice - the investment in this addon would need to pay for itself for it to be worth it to me, as this is a site that isn't for making money!

    Cheers

    Kev

    Hi Kevin,

    vBSEO's primary goal is to deliver traffic to your site. Whether you convert that to revenue with ads, memberships, product/services of some type is up to you. vBSEO's focus is the traffic.

    Therefore, even if you do not intend to monetize your forum and you still want traffic, vBSEO is your best choice to help you do that.

    If, for example, you decided that your forum would be completely private, with all content restricted to members only (and not shown to search engines/guests) then vBSEO would not be for you. Your content has to be visible in order for vBSEO to send you traffic. However, we do have customers who have private forums but purchased anyway because they liked the usability of the keyword rich URLs. Note: Aaron Wall of the "SEO Book" is one customer that comes to mind who did so.

    You can send me your forum URL via PM and I'll have a look for you.
