How to create SEO friendly URL for VBulletin?

i am a new user of VB,
how can i create seo friendly URL?
from
www.yourforum.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1
to
www.yourforum.com/threadtitle/
i know VBseo software,
but it is not free and quite expensive at this stage,
anyone can help here?
thanks in advance.

 

You don't need them.

 

zoints SEo - free mod at vbulletin.org

 

thanks, i will take a look, anymore?

 

there a vb rewrite mod that works nicely as well. but the zoints seo is a complete mod that will help you control your forums keywords and descriptions.

 

Ya, they have the "Tags" feature which is going to be enabled in the new version of vBulletin.

 

Does anybody know if you can have seo friendly URL's without a htaccess file, as I use windows hosting which does not support .htaccess files.

Thanks,
Gaj

 

The best option is vBSEO, zoints is dieing slowly and goodluck with upgrades
vbseo truly is the best option is you really want to rewrite the url's in vBulletin.

cheers

 

Cheers do you know if it will works on a windows server which does not allow .htaccess files to hosted.

Now I've bought a VBulletin license and have had a good play around with it. It seems that to really get it seo'd you do have to buy the VBseo tool.

It seems like you do need .htaccess to run it though or you need ISAPI filters. Does anybody know a way round this? or even if you can change vbulletin to use the post id and the post title? This would be a great plug-in if its not out there?

 

URL rewriting would require mod rewrite or ISAPI rewrite to be enabled on the server, unless the forum software itself is generating those urls.
