Hi

Is my forum I.T Support SEO Friendly?

If not, do I require additional hacks to make it SEO friendly?

Thanks

At the moment you are still using slow URL's. VBSEO will rewrite them all so they will look like....

/example-url

Rather than....

/forumdisplay.php?f=23 or whatever.

www.vbseo.com

Imran, beside vbseo there are some trick to transform the forum more seo friendly.
You may want to:
  1. Remove the powered by vbulletin from the titla tag at the template editor,
  2. Placing the stlye into external css file which can be controlled from the backend as well,
  3. Redirect the index.php to the domain.
If you are thinking about some subtitution instead of vbseo, please promise me that you won't do it.

every one sings the praises of vBSEO I really do not believe it helps a forum SEO wise apart from having urls you can tell someone on the phone. This forum use it but compared with my other forum that I did not install vBSEO on there are not significant benefits that warrants investment in vBSEO.

Temi, to be honest i seriously regret installing vrewrite sef mod. The garage softwares suppose to be buggy many times and the development is usually stopped after a while.
If a forum owner don't have the willingness to invest money into vbseo i think the best he can do is to leave the default. Vbseo can be installed whenever the circumstances will be given.

Zoli,
I understand your regrets about sef mod, vBSEO is quite good compared with that. My argument is that vBSEO is really not necessary for search engines to index you site well.
