how to create URL likes V7N

[vnbear]

For example,
http://www.v7n.com/forums/seo-forum/...able-goal.html
http://www.v7n.com/forums/seo-forum/...-pagerank.html

how to do that?

It's part of the forum script. This is a vBulletin.

Find more information here.

I know it's a vBulletin, but how to create SEO friendly links like that. The default vBulletin is just using showthread.php?p=xxxx
In V7N, it uses the header of the post.

[chicgeek]

Ah, my apologies. And I have to clue, though I'm sure someone who comes along will.

It's vbseo:
http://www.vbseo.com

Check out modrewrite in some apache docs if you're really interested in the nuts and bolts. It's pretty hairy, but explains how it works across all web apps, not just vbseo.

[vnbear]

yes, I know the apache mod_rewrite will be needed. However, how to take the header of post into the URL? All I can see is just re-write the URL like page-some details-id-some id.html

tks

Vbseo or Zoints my friend

VBSEO, quick and easy

is vbSEO applied for vBulletin only? How to do it with normal site, with .htaccess?

[roadies]

good info.

Wow, running vbulletin is getting pricey these days. $150 to get the forum, another $150 for plugin A, another $150 for plugin B, $50 here, $50 there. All these prices add up for a new webmaster, no wonder VB seems intimidating. I don't think you need to get all the plugins at once, but I would recommend AT least starting with vbseo when you launch your forum. Get the SE spiders crawling your site right the first time. The other plugins can come in later.

Yes, VBSEO = VB Only.

For normal sites use .htaccess & mod_rewrite.

You looking for a tutorial?

[vnbear]

if there is a tut for that, it would be great. Cause all the things I have read about mod_rewrite, as stated above, it just re-writes the URL like page-somedetails-id-someid.html, not taking the header of the post into the URL likes in V7N

[vnbear]

Thanks And I believe other can see it's helpful as well. So, can you just post how to do it here? It would be great!

[richardvan1]

Just need some clarification.

Im assuming your using VBEO and you want your URLS such as:

"Note to Moderators & Admin link below is not spam only example perpose"

Actually that is not the ideal link format. Google does not parse keywords in URLs when they are separated by an underscore.

Hyphen instead?
