If you spend much time on blogs and forums you may have noticed that the admins are bringing them closer together. Tagging forum posts or viewing “tag clouds” may have been a dream (or nightmare) a year ago, but now it is becoming increasingly popular.
Over the past couple of months I’ve been working on the Irish Webmaster Forum and have been playing with a number of mods.
One of the coolest ones I’ve come across is VBSeo (aff) which not only takes all the pain out of making a vbulletin forum search engine friendly, but also adds a number of really cool bloglike features to it. The latest release candidate adds “social bookmarking” directly into the forum posts, so you can easily send a post / thread to a number of popular social bookmarking sites.
You can now send pingbacks to blog posts and vice-versa directly from a vbulletin forum that has the mod installed.
Pretty cool 🙂
Blogs and Forums Converging
What non blog related SEO comes with VBSEO?
Cormac – Browse http://www.irishwebmasterforum.com as a guest and you’ll see some of the features that you might miss if you are logged in.
The obvious ones are the URLs on all forums and threads. It also does dynamic meta content by pulling from the post’s body.
can’t say i noticed anything different tbh
give me some hints 🙂
Browse… Look at the page footers… Look at the HTML source
