Will I lose indexed pages initially?

My forum currently has just over 190,000 posts. Is it true that initially I will lose alot of my indexed pages because of the redirects? If so how long will it take to get back on track?

yes. Google tends to remove old pages before it adds in the new ones.

It took me about a month to turn around. But the turn around was SO worth it. See my sig :P

thanks for the response

I'm willing to sacrafice in the short-term if vbseo is the real deal, which for you it obviously is.

it's all about long term. Take a beating in hits and money for a month, and turn around and make it back and then some.

Now, I can't guarnatee you a month. That's just what it took me.


you can see my past month's trend here, live, 3rd party hosted:
Site Meter - Counter and Statistics Tracker

last thurs/friday, the site got a huge bump in SERP's, and the traffic followed... and so did the earnings.

I feel like i should make an infomerical and charge $19.98 for every post i make like this. BUT WAIT! if you order now, i'll throw in one more support post absolutely free!!!! lol

wow that's a huge spike!

I love how you've got the rss feed right next to the forums, is there a mod for that or did you do that yourself?

custom made... I put an offer out for anyone to syndicate a forum or all on their own sites/blogs for no cost. No one seems to use them though. Some people mis-click them thinking that they are the "last unread post" icon though. I'm leaving them up for now, but i might remove them.

i don't even remember the code i used to make it... i can look later tonight when i'm not "working". plus, i just got a ticket assigned to me, so i'm off of here for the rest of the business day.

Here's the code I use on mine. Mine also adds New Thread, Search, and Subscribe links for each forum, but you can customize to fit your needs. The tinyfont class is just setting the font size to 9px;

Code:

<if condition="$forum[link] == ''">
<span class="tinyfont">
 - [<a href="/forums/newthread.php?do=newthread&f=$forum[forumid]" title="Post a new thread in $forum[title]">New Thread</a>] - [<a href="/forums/search.php?forumid=$forum[forumid]" title="Search $forum[title]">Search</a>] - [<a href="/forums/subscription.php?do=addsubscription&f=$forum[forumid]" title="Subscribe to $forum[title]">Subscribe</a>] - [<a href="/forums/external.php?type=rss2&forumids=$forum[forumid]" target="_blank" title="RSS feed for $forum[title]">RSS</a>]
</span>
</if>

I put it right after the forum name in the forumhome_forumbit_level1_post and forumhome_forumbit_level2_post templates.
