I'm Considering purchasing vBseo probably in the next months, But what good will it do for my current site (see sig link), I would say Im making 2-3 video's per week on gameplay, Tips, Hints and walkthroughs (only started doing gameplay so far). Im just wondering because i don't want to spend £92~ and for it to go to waste. (I have already contacted vBseo and they will tell me how to get the old vBulletin advanced urls to something within vBseo)
i dont know man. Im in the same boat as you. Its like, I've seen HUGE popular forums that dont use vbseo. But then on the other hand, its like everywhere you look you see vbseo making small forums huge too. I guess it could be worth it, if your gonna be in it for the long run. Im sure it helps, or it wouldnt be such a popular product among us vbheads.
I read a thread about this on digitalpoint. The difference is with some of those big-boards is they have the content already. They have the time, the members from being there, etc. They don't need it. For digitalpoint, they do all their SEO on their own. Its their choice, but for a smaller forum, its great. I can say for my forum, it has paid off 200% and I don't regret it one bit!
I wouldn't question adding vbseo to any forum, large, small, brand new or mature. I wouldn't start a vBulletin site without vbseo
I've been thinking about looking deeper into SEO as well. You can follow all the tips and tricks and try to optimize on your as best you can. When it boils down to it, if you are serious about indexing, page rank, driving more potential members to your site, etc, etc. I'm thinking it might be the way to go. But again, it all comes down to content. Content, content, content. If it's not there...vBSEO can only go so far.
I use vbseo and I absolutely love it. Went from 60 visitors a day to 2000-3000 visitors a day in few months.
