I don't know if this is the correct place to post this thread but I don't know where else to post it. I am a little skeptical of vbseo but I have heard great reviews about it. I decided to suck it up and fork over the $150 I could have used to purchase clothes and food. I was using zoints but I guess I really wanted to fully optimize my website. I started my forum a little over 2 weeks ago. I installed vbseo today and like others before me, I will update this thread once a week so people will know if the vbseo script for vbulletin is worth it or not. The forum I will be using vbseo on is...

sure, I will keep on eye on the thread. I myself own a VB forum though I have nothing great or bad to say about it. I had emailed them some time back asking few questions, but never got a reply. Personally, I feels $150 is ridiculous amount of amount to ask for a VB plugin (with yearly renewal fees). Check our Admin Forum to read some reviews about it What report ?
Ok, I decided to this monthly because it is more efficient for both you and I. BTW ITS MY BIRTHDAY TODAY. Anyways, here are my stats on December 3, 2008... I am very surprised by the results. Bots are now crawling my site constantly and my indexed pages have increased! What people don't understand about vbseo is that it doesn't just rewrite urls but fully optimizes every page to make it more indexable in search engines. It also directs bots on what to index so if you guys can afford $150 go for it. You can do this yourself but it takes a lot of coding and time which I don't have time for. Start: Indexed Pages Google: 3,040 [It went up by almost 3000 pages indexed!!] Yahoo: 514 Yahoo Links:1,423 [Yahoo is up as well!] MSN/Live.com: 7 lol. Up by 6! [Woot go msn! XD] I have very active members in my forum so my forum stats may surprise you... Forum Stats Threads: 603, Posts: 13,493, Members: 296 Post has increased almost 6x! Here are some screenshots. As you can see traffic has been rising slowly but surely. My server actually crashed due to the high load I am receiving.

Thanks for updates though its hard to measure the effect of vbSEO like this. What are your own conclusions so far ?
Thanks for the compliment guys. It is worth it to purchase vbseo in my opinion. @poseidon- vbseo is working great for me so far. It is getting my tons of traffic.
