I have followed the instructions 100% but it won't install... I now have a forum which does not work - it says database error? What is the crawability_seo.xml file in folder docs(do not upload) ...? Would i need to upload this somewhere to get it to work? I am using Vbulletin 3.0.0 |

For vBulletin 3.0.x the instructions are slightly different and included in the 'docs (do not upload)/readme.htm' file... Basically you need to: 1) edit your '/includes/functions.php' as described 2) edit your footer template (add the copyright comment: ><!--VBSEO_COPYRIGHT-->) 3) CHMOD 666 your 'vB-root/includes/config_vbseo.php' file and then access your vbseocp.php control panel.

| Re: I can't install this...?
Thanks for the help Juan... Support for vbSEO is excellent & goes much futher than most internet companies. I did have one question which is bothering me & something iv'e never been certain of the answer. My linking to my forums has always been, http://www.widgets.com/forums But i now notice that VBSEO redirects, http://www.widgets.com/forums to http://www.widgets.com/forums/ Notice the / What i would like to know is if a search engine considers these two links as seperate? Obviously there is a possibilty because a 301 to http://www.widgets.com/forums/ should not redirect http://www.wdigets.com/forums in my opinion. In either case... Is it possible to set VBSEO to 301 to http://www.wdigets.com/forums without the / ? Should i change all my inbound links to http://www.wdigets.com/forums/ (this may be hard to get link partners to do). Does anyone know the answer to this puzzling question? |

Hello, if you have the forums/ folder, the redirection is done by apache *without vBSEO*. You can try: http://www.vbulletin.org/forum

| Re: I can't install this...?
Sorry, i am realy not sure what you mean... Vbulletin does not do 301's... What i am asking is if i should change the internal links to http://www.hostcompanies.com/forums/ Or if it is best to do the 301 to http://www.hostcompanies.com/forums If so, can it be done in VBSEO or will i need a custom hack? |

What I mean is that it is redirected without vBSEO installed as well (this redirection is not performed by vBSEO), please try it (I've posted an example link to a forum with no vBSEO installed).

| Re: I can't install this...?
Thats very strange.. i know mine never did that without VBSEO installed but i am using an early VB 3 version ( 3.0.0 ) Do you think it makes a difference if my inbound links are http://www.hostcompanies.com/forums/ or http://www.hostcompanies.com/forums ? In terms of SEO this is something that always made me curious... |

I think google knows they both are the same: /forums /forums/ But as Oleg said, I'd always try to use direct links.

I did try to change it to a direct link but in the vbulletin admin panel it said not to use a trailing / for some reason... Maybe its something to do with their coding. I guess i have to leave it as it is. |

Yes, you will have forums URL *without* trailing slash in vB admincp options, but the URLs within vB have slash added automatically.
