Search Engine Optimizing vBulletin using the hacks on my Search Engine Optimize vBulletin thread, makes your forum rock on Google. Try Search Engine Optimizing vBulletin today and see your rankings and traffic go through the roof. In my industry of restaurants, over 80% of the restaurants I promote are in the top 10 on Google for their restaurant name. I rank very high for many other threads on the forum.

I totally recommend vBulletin for its user friendliness, many options, and ease of hacking the PHP code and customizing the templates.

vBulletin has a fantastic structure, with site map, similar threads and many other links throughout the package that spreads Google PR well, gives text link value, and allows individual threads to rank very high on the search engines.

The basic problems with the standard package can be summarized as follows:

• Badly constructed page titles
• No optimized "first paragraph" high enough on the page.
• Multiple urls for the same page content
• Site map should lead to the ultimate thread, not to yet another duplicate of the information

With the hacks I recommend each of these issues are solved, making the vBulletin package a very powerful force on the internet.

Of course, once you have finished Search Engine Optimizing vBulletin you need to make sure you have enough Google PR coming into the site. The many pages of the vBulletin package consume lots of Google PR.

Please go the the official Search Engine Optimize vBulletin thread for full explaination and discussion.
