One part of what the vBSEO solution does is make your vBulletin forum and thread pages look “static” and content rich. Static URL means that they appear to be just like regular website pages that end in .html or .htm, etc. Search engines love static pages (as opposed to dynamic URLs like PHP scripts, etc).
But this is just the beginning. One of vBSEO’s most unique features is that it allows you to configure the actual format of all URLs (website addresses) for forum pages. You can choose to customize your own CRU (Content Relevant URL with relevant keywords embedded) however you choose. Even achieving a CNN.com style URL configuration is possible.
But the complete solution has over 200 features and configuration options. You can get a sense of all that is available in the vBSEO Demo.
Other main features include:
LinkBacks (PingBacks/TrackBacks/RefBacks™) – For relevant and inbound/outbound links to/from your forum.
Custom Rewrite Rules – Ensure full compatibility with all of your other vBulletin plugins and custom applications
Custom Redirects – Tell search engines where to find important moved content
Relevant Replacements – Add highly relevant keywords to the page, to boost ranking for those terms
Automatic Title Retrieval for External Links – More effective anchor text for links (adds optimized keywords to your page content)
