vb4.1 and VBSEO

[dsimms]

Is this mod updated for vb 4.1.1?

Do you have instructions to install on vb using VBSEO?

I do not have a large forum, but it looks very interesting to
offering multi lang support.

and if i buy now, then I can always get the brand free later, correct?
or do I have to get the BF at time of purchase?

Thank-You

Yes, we have a instruction to integrate with vBSEO.
Of course this mod is working with vB4.1.1. - TESTED.

Yes - you can upgrade your vBET to BF version.

Good Luck with vBET :)

Good Luck with vBET :)

I was going to get it, then I had to honestly ask myself, why do
I need another fancy mod? I have like 3500 posts on my forum,
and hardly any traffic to boot. Would this be helpful if I had
traffic, I am sure it would be helpful, but what point would
this mod be if I have no traffic? Would not be much useful
at all, but yet another expense added.

maybe down the road...

Dear dsimms

vBET gives you more advatage.
Your forum will be translated to 52 languages , which gives you automatic 52 more content .
Also it will make more traffic on Your forum , more content = more traffic .

Just look here :

and read about features in paid versions .

I understand what you are saying, but what you are saying really is not that true. I have had a forum for 6 months now, and I contribute posts and
articles to the forum all the time, and six months later, still no traffic...even though spiders appear to love new content, and I do see new backlinks, it
just not appears to be enough, even this site has about 3-4m backlinks, and the forum here is barely even alive...so I do not think adding your mod at
this time even with 52x more is going to make any real difference, if I had a ton of traffic already, then i would agree that it could have some serious
impact, but having no traffic means no traffic....and my forum may never have any real traffic either since I am in a very competivie market....
that does not mean I will give up trying, it just means that it is not going to happen now, and buying this will not change that fact...

I installed on a test forum. The install went rather flawless.

I do have vbseo installed, and I also noticed this url:

テストフォーラム (http://vipmmf.com/forum.php?language=ja)

as you can tell, this is not an SEO URL....

I was expecting something like:

http://vipmmf.com/ja

but the translation appears to work fine....

Dear dsimms ,

Do this instruction step by step :

What to do, to have translations links good for SEO consensus?
You have to set appropriate option in Admin CP and change/create .htaccess file (NOTE: you can use SEO translation links even without vbSEO!)
for users without vbSEO
- If you don't have .htaccess file then use the one from do-not-upload directory in mod package - just upload it to your forum directory
- If you have .htaccess file, then add those lines there:
Code:

RewriteRule ^/?(af|sq|ar|be|bg|ca|zh-CN|hr|cs|da|nl|en|et|tl|fi|fr|gl|de|el|iw|hi|hu|is|id|ga|it|ja|ko|lv|lt|mk|ms|mt|no|fa|pl|pt|ro|ru|sr|sk|sl|es|sw|sv|zh-TW|th|tr|uk|vi|sq|ca|et|tl|gl|hi|id|lv|lt|mt|sl|uk|vi|cy|yi)/archive/index.php/(.*)?$ archive/index.php?/$2&language=$1 [L,QSA]
RewriteRule ^/?(af|sq|ar|be|bg|ca|zh-CN|hr|cs|da|nl|en|et|tl|fi|fr|gl|de|el|iw|hi|hu|is|id|ga|it|ja|ko|lv|lt|mk|ms|mt|no|fa|pl|pt|ro|ru|sr|sk|sl|es|sw|sv|zh-TW|th|tr|uk|vi|cy|yi)/$ index.php?language=$1 [L,QSA]
RewriteRule ^/?(af|sq|ar|be|bg|ca|zh-CN|hr|cs|da|nl|en|et|tl|fi|fr|gl|de|el|iw|hi|hu|is|id|ga|it|ja|ko|lv|lt|mk|ms|mt|no|fa|pl|pt|ro|ru|sr|sk|sl|es|sw|sv|zh-TW|th|tr|uk|vi|cy|yi)/(.*)?$ $2?language=$1 [L,QSA]

for vbSEO users
Edit .htaccess file:
Put those rules JUST BEFORE all rules to vbseo.php:
Code:

RewriteRule ^/?(af|sq|ar|be|bg|ca|zh-CN|hr|cs|da|nl|en|et|tl|fi|fr|gl|de|el|iw|hi|hu|is|id|ga|it|ja|ko|lv|lt|mk|ms|mt|no|fa|pl|pt|ro|ru|sr|sk|sl|es|sw|sv|zh-TW|th|tr|uk|vi|cy|yi)/$ vbenterprisetranslator_seo.php?vbet_lang=$1&redirected=/ [L,QSA]
RewriteRule ^/?(af|sq|ar|be|bg|ca|zh-CN|hr|cs|da|nl|en|et|tl|fi|fr|gl|de|el|iw|hi|hu|is|id|ga|it|ja|ko|lv|lt|mk|ms|mt|no|fa|pl|pt|ro|ru|sr|sk|sl|es|sw|sv|zh-TW|th|tr|uk|vi|cy|yi)/(.*)?$ vbenterprisetranslator_seo.php?vbet_lang=$1&redirected=/$2 [L,QSA]

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !(admincp/|modcp/|vbseo_sitemap/|cron)
RewriteRule ^((archive/)?(.*\.php(/.*)?))$ vbenterprisetranslator_seo.php [L,QSA]

Now - if your forum use subdirectory in URL, then change 2 first rules adding your forum directory with leading '/' just after redirected=. So i.e. if your forum is in forum directory then you will have redirected=/forum/ and redirected=/forum/$2

It should do all ok , write if it's ok

[dsimms]

This is what I have for my test board .htaccess

RewriteRule ^/?(af|sq|ar|be|bg|ca|zh-CN|hr|cs|da|nl|en|et|tl|fi|fr|gl|de|el|iw|hi|hu|is|id|ga|it|ja|ko|lv|lt|mk|ms|mt|no|fa|pl|pt|ro|ru|sr|sk|sl|es|sw|sv|zh-TW|th|tr|uk|vi|sq|ca|et|tl|gl|hi|id|lv|lt|mt|sl|uk|vi|cy|yi)/archive/index.php/(.*)?$ archive/index.php?/$2&language=$1 [L,QSA]
RewriteRule ^/?(af|sq|ar|be|bg|ca|zh-CN|hr|cs|da|nl|en|et|tl|fi|fr|gl|de|el|iw|hi|hu|is|id|ga|it|ja|ko|lv|lt|mk|ms|mt|no|fa|pl|pt|ro|ru|sr|sk|sl|es|sw|sv|zh-TW|th|tr|uk|vi|sq|ca|et|tl|gl|hi|id|lv|lt|mt|sl|uk|vi|cy|yi)/$ index.php?language=$1 [L,QSA]
RewriteRule ^/?(af|sq|ar|be|bg|ca|zh-CN|hr|cs|da|nl|en|et|tl|fi|fr|gl|de|el|iw|hi|hu|is|id|ga|it|ja|ko|lv|lt|mk|ms|mt|no|fa|pl|pt|ro|ru|sr|sk|sl|es|sw|sv|zh-TW|th|tr|uk|vi|sq|ca|et|tl|gl|hi|id|lv|lt|mt|sl|uk|vi|cy|yi)/(.*)?$ $2?language=$1 [L,QSA]

RewriteRule ^((urllist|sitemap_).*\.(xml|txt)(\.gz)?)$ vbseo_sitemap/vbseo_getsitemap.php?sitemap=$1 [L]

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !(admincp/|modcp/|cron|vbseo_sitemap)
RewriteRule ^((archive/)?(.*\.php(/.*)?))$ vbseo.php [L,QSA]

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !/(admincp|modcp|clientscript|cpstyles|images)/
RewriteRule ^(.+)$ vbseo.php [L,QSA]

As you can see, vbet rules are before any vbseo rules.

however, I do not think this is vbet issue,
I think it is how this vbseo is setup.
it is setup to show:

http://vipmmf.com/forum.php

rather then showing:

http://vipmmf.com

[Youngster]

will wait for Kamil to response because he will know it .

[dsimms]

I have been sorta monitoring this thread, and the demo url that I have
posted: Test Forum (http://www.vipmmf.com)

I started this thread 02/02/11 and to date, the above url has
collected 29 backlinks...and what is interesting, the backlinks
are from this forum in their own perspective languages.

Site Explorer - Search Results (http://siteexplorer.search.yahoo.com/search?p=vipmmf.com&bwm=i&bwmf=s&fr=yfp-t-809&fr2=seo-rd-se)

I thought this was pretty cool....

so rather then just providing one backlink in english; It provided
backlinks in several different langauges on this forum.

[kamilkurczak]

you are right. As you see on this page - 52 languages - 52 more links to the one thread :)

I do not think it has quite indexed 52 lang just yet.

but it has increased by 10 backlinks since yesterday.
