SEO

1) is there any trial version available?
because i would like to see it actually works before spending $150.
yes i checked out the admin interface but i would like to see its giving result, see it in action.

2) just out of curiosity, i checked googles rating for this site and it ranked 4/10. shouldn't it be higher than a 4? how would you explain this?

thanks.

First PR doesn't improve your rankings at all. Sites that use vbSEO do have the ability to put noFollow on all outside links, this might be the reason. Also many might buy the no branding option.

SEO is not an instant thing, so a trial version wouldn't work. In fact if you used it just for a little while didn't like, & took it off it would do more harm than good.

I'll explain the software will make seo friendly URLS & handle any URLs that can't be found or that are already indexed. If you do this for a little while & take the plugin off VB by itself can't handle redirecting those URLs. Most people see the increase in search engine results in about a month or two.

This is a longterm investment. My sight is ranking well for terms I want to target. Since the site is new I realize I'm in the sandbox for a few terms but other than those terms my site does well.

vBSEO hasnt been in business as long as other well established online entities therefore cannot be expected to have ascertained a higher PageRank. Unfortunately no trial version is avaiable, although if you have any issues with using vBSEO, its functionality or howto improve the search engine "friendlyness" of your forums the vBSEO support forum will be the perfect place to do so.

thanks for the replies guys.
