    We need some help. Will VB work for us?

    Our site

    http://www.TrumpetMaster.com seems to do very poorly in the search engines.

    Can VBseo help us. We are tempted to buy it but have heard it is better to start from day one with the vbSEO. Our site has been around for about 3-4 years but we just switched over from phpbb to VB about 2 months ago. Is it too late? Or could we benefit from this?

    Thanks!

    For new forums we do recommend they install vBSEO immediately upon launch. Then they do not have to wait for 301 redirects to update the search engines.

    However, you should definitely proceed with your vBSEO installation to improve your forum's SEO. The majority of our customers have active forums prior to getting vBSEO-enabled.

    SE referrals have been going up ever since. You wont notice it within a week or even one month usually... but give it three months with a consistent url structure and you should start seeing most of your threads showing up in all the SE's as rewritten urls.

    I really do recommend it. It helps you in more was than one to get the most out of your forum.
