    How do I

    I have four URLs in my web space
    Life In Spain Forum, British ExPat Forum Spain - Powered by vBulletin
    Life In Spain Forum, British ExPat Forum Spain - Powered by vBulletin
    Life In Spain Forum, British ExPat Forum Spain - Powered by vBulletin
    Life In Spain Forum, British ExPat Forum Spain - Powered by vBulletin

    I don't know if I'm breaking any vBulletin rules, but I run one copy in each URL, but they all link to the same data base
    So you post in one and it shows in all. The forum is mirrored in all domains this way

    Is there any way of getting vBseo to act the same?

    Because the the site name and URL are set to catralspain, you alter it in one and it affects all URLs, vBseo only works on one URL

    I'm sorry if the above don't make a blind it of sense, I was working on it till 4am this morning, with no joy

    For best SEO results, you should direct all your content to one domain, and 301 redirect all the others.

    Is it possible to do it though?

    Reasoning behind it is the search engines picking up on key words from the other URLs

    Hello Lee,

    vBSEO uses forum URL as defined in vB admincp options, so all links on rewritten pages will point to your main domain.

    I'm new to this web master lark with very limited, if any knowledge of setting up and ruining web pages

    I'm sorry

    In vBulletin's AdminCP, you have to define the URL to your forum URL. There is only one since you are running one copy of vBulletin and one database. So, whatever URL you have defined for that vBulletin field, is the URL that vBSEO will use when rewriting URLs.
