Citizens,

I have installed an SEO solution which has made content relevant URLs. This will be a big help in getting the site properly indexed in major search engines. I've also installed a sitemap feature and am working on various other SEO features. Please name your threads accordingly because the name of the thread will be placed in the URL. Here's how it works.

Thread name: OMG LOOK AT THIS
URL would be: topictown.com/(forum id)/OMG-LOOK-AT-THIS-(thread_id)/

Also, you will notice that your homepage URL's are structured in this way:

Username: Andrew
Homepage: topictown.com/citizens/andrew/

Cheers,
Andrew

i dont get the point of vBSeo, its just a waste of space on you're FTP. All it does is shorten you're user's profile lengths, and pretty much makes a post's URL longer.

Content relevant URLs are a major part of search engine optimization. I discovered this through about 30 minisites with keyword domains- therefore it must work with forums, I thought. Before purchasing, I spoke with many large forum owners who have implemented vBSEO into their solutions. The results and my research was overwhelming in my decision to purchase it.

Well that´s cool. Hopefully more people will now see us on Google and join, haha.

great update makes things a lot simpler

Thanks for the update, Andrew. Makes things a little more organized.

Much better for SEO...I don't like thread urls that have a bunch of numbers in them.

Cool, I like it. Looks a lot more organized.

Great update. I hope we get more members from search engines.

I hope we become more noticed within search engines now. This update is usually very useful.

Nice way to tidy up AND improve SEO, can't go wrong with this I dont think!

Dude that's amazing! I was trying to do the thread names to thread url's (Like your example: Thread name: OMG LOOK AT THIS
URL would be: topictown.com/(thread id)/OMG-LOOK-AT-THIS/)
And I couldn't get it to work. So nice work man

ICP,

What were you trying to do exactly?

To make an actual location of topictown.com/(thread id)/OMG-LOOK-AT-THIS/) ?

Nice work, i'm sure it will help us dominate Search Rankings.

This is really cool Andrew, and I'm sure this will make the forum a lot more user-friendly which is always a great thing. Keep it up and I can't wait to see your next update.

-- Q

Seo is great for Forums especially if questions and answers pp up. They make great long tail keywords. I am sure I will be putting in some good questions as I go along..That will help fluff up our SERPS!

I've switched it around again, this time to:

topictown.com/topics/THREAD_ID an topictown.com/forums/FORUM_ID

I prefer the previous-intejualu. Not really a big deal though.

-- Q

I prefer thread title will be great.Many SEO works on thread title and number also like example:
topictown.com/topics/THREAD_TITLE or topictown.com/topics/showthread=THREAD_ID

Nice update. Hopefully it will get the site a lot more traffic.
