CommunitySEO for IPB

Does anybody actually use CommunitySEO? Is it to IP.Board as vBSEO is to vBulletin?

If you do use it, how good is it?

 

I've never used it, but IPB 3 comes with search engine friendly URLs by default.

 

Surely CommunitySEO must offer other SEO benefits then, just as vbSEO does?

 

vB all the way

 

Okay?

This is the list for the old version. It goes much more in depth on their site.

 

They don't have a working version for 3.0 out yet its currently in Alpha and the support seems shaky there at best.

Seems to be a one man show there so i'm not sure how long it will be before a working 3.0 compatible version is out to test.

The fURL's in IPB are weird, and extremely hard to customize.

 

I never had a problem with their support.

 

I remember they were planning too, but I guess they never did for some reason.

 

Maybe now is the right time for them to revisit those plans, with some people jumping ship.

 

vBSEO is about the only reason I am dragging my feet with respect to converting over to IPB.

I had some communication with Andy yesterday and we're thinking it might be time for some current license holders to start pestering Juan & Co. about branching out again.

 

It would be awesome if vBSEO put their work into an IP.Board-compatible product. I think it would ease the decision-making process quite substantially, as lot of vBulletin customers are attached to vBSEO.

 

Maybe the IPB customer base isn't large enough to warrant the development of a Crawlability SEO script. I have no idea.

I know a handful of vB admins have reluctantly moved to IPB, not wanting to give up vBSEO advantages. I tried all the optimization tricks on my sites and had moderate success, but it was vBSEO that made the biggest differences for me. And I really don't want to leave that laying on the table.

 

Yet there's CommunitySEO and MinervaSEO. There clearly is enough people.

 

Believe me, I hear you. Feel free to comment on this thread I raised from the dead on the vBSEO forums. Maybe if enough people show interest, they will give it a bit more consideration.

Thanks Kakeru. An old dog like myself is already conflicted with making the change to a completely new forum platform. When I think about having to learn the ins and outs of a new SEO script as well...

 

Thanks for posting that; I'll definitely put my word in.
