    key words and rankings

    i noticed that my kewords reduced by 1000 in analytics and in some cases lost rankings in important keywords.

    up to now i was using a mod from vb.org to make bots as a members of a specific usergroup.

    lately i changed that (for the better) and the result is not better.

    i also made my offtopic section public so another 100.000 posts should have made a big increase instead the result is the oppossite

    whats up ?

    What is the vb.org plugin you were running? How did it work?

    I am assuming your sub-forum content is guest accessible. Is that correct?

    You should immediately uninstall that mod. It looks like you are punished because of cloaking.

    That mod is using black hat seo tactics and what that mod does is called Cloaking. It is not allowed to use that according to Google. Thats why you should urgently remove it.

    That mod has disadvantages also because SE bots are treated as guests. If they reach the limit when they are indexing your board , they will not be able to index your site properly.
