First of all, you are a God. I have been dreaming of SEO for vBulletin. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you!

One thing that worries me a bit, does this hack of yours slow down the page load times significantly? I see a bit of a delay on your site. As much as I need this hack, I am still a speed freak. Should I worry?

Thanks again.. I look forward to installing this. I just would like your thoughts on speed.

Thanks Caliman

I now recommend vbseo rather than my hacks. vBSEO means only one php change, or one plugin with vb3.5. It is therefore so much easier to upgrade to different versions of vb, less chance for error, plus awesome clickable url's etc.

Then there are a few template changes that you can do from my hacks to add to the work of vbseo.

Speed - my hack hardly adds anything, rather speeds things up in my opinion. Less url's mean less need for google to call up adsense bots for yet another url, less url's for the bots to find therefore less server load from them...

vbseo on the other hand is doing a lot more work, and therefore there is added server load.

With both of them, there is the welcome server load of many more visitors to the site. Can you cope with that!!!

The rewritten url's have better visible PR as well. Better PR than string url's. Have a look on my forum. Great PR. PR seems to be less one for string url's.

Thanks for the info TD..

You have me convinced.
I will take your advice and go with vBSEO and your hacks. I look foward to it.
