Talk me into this

I've been using the free version of this for years with nice success on multiple boards (the version that creates and submits site maps). What additional features does the paid version give me that I am missing out on? One thing I would like to do for example is automatically link certain words when they appear in my forums to point to certain home pages in my network. Would VBSEO (paid) let me easily do this?

Hello,

There is no free version of vbseo. If you're referring to the sitemap generator, that is a completely separate program that just makes sitemaps.

vBSEO is a full seo solution for your vbulletin forum. We have a feature matrix here:
vBSEO - Feature Comparison vBSEO for vBulletin

With the acronym expansion feature, it is possible to link words to urls with vbseo.

Yes it is the sitemap generator that I have been using for years.
