    Upgrading from Zoints SEO to vbSEO

    Hi there

    I'v decided to upgrade my forum from Zoints SEO to vbSEO. Can i do that easily? I have over 30,000 indexed pages, and 2,5 million page views a month coming from organic rankings. my current URLs are Zoints SEO Example: (showthread.php/keyword-keyword-keyword-196361.html?t=196361)

    I'm i going to 404 my listings? how vBulletin will react on that change?

    I really like all vBseo tools options - hopefully that will work for me.

    Any information will be very helpful - Tank you!

    Hello,

    Glad to see the switch! Once you become a customer, you can request rewrite rules that will automatically redirect all of your old URLs to your new vBSEO format rules.

    Mike - reading you comment - I see that you mentioned "automatically" - sorry if my replay sounds strange - i just want to make sure that whatever old SEO tool did and index as URLs will be not a problem... and your product will just "take over"

    automatic. it will be a couple of edits to your htacces file that will basically move

    showthread.php/keyword-keyword-keyword-xxxx.html?t=xxxxx

    to

    thread-title-xxxxx.html

    or whatever variation you chose to use
