When will this show up? I mean will it show up on all pages?

Yes, any page that is processed by vBSEO will display the notice. You can exclude pages from being processed also, but you would only want to do that to pages that do not contain any forum/thread/user profile links.

Such as the home aka index.php / gallery and links section pages?

Sure, depending on a lot of factors. For example, if you use CMPS for your forum home, you would want vBSEO to process that so that all the thread/forums/user profile links that show up there would be rewritten.

I do, and I'm a little actually very concerned about branding issues. I think SEO will launch our company and site off the map but at what cost to image as it pertains to branding.

Thank you very much, I really appreciate your time

Where would these settings be? What file or phrase?

You would need to manually edit your config_vbseo.php file with a plain text editor. It's located in your forums "includes" directory.

Thanks for posting this, I was wondering how you did this. I like the option to customize what it says by choosing the number. Very cool.
