I see that Google actively uses the html sitemap for my vbulletin big board. I do not want to loose my ranking when migrating to XF. Is there a replacement for this HTML sitemap? For the sake of clarity: I am not referring to the sitemaps.org XML that is automatically submitted to Google.

Hello everyone, Due to some issues with my crew members, I plan to change the domain name of my website. I'm not worried about the fact that changing the domain name will result in a loss in term of visits and users because the website is dead right now (we lost over the past 2 years more than...

I couldn't locate any example of how to redirect friendly URLs managed by the Zoints SEO plugin for vBulletin so came up with my own configuration. I use Nginx so my location block looks like this: #rewrite thread requests rewrite t([0-9]+)\.html.* /threads/$1 permanent; #rewrite...

I had an idea that I'll throw out there for any mod author looking for ideas: An add-on that affects link parsing: If the site has good pagerank, link with a follow link If the site is bad pagerank, rel=nofollow the link If the site is a bad neighborhood/shady site, do not parse the link...

Google Webmaster tools is flagging up a lot of duplicate title meta tags (in HTML Improvements) due to a resource and its associated discussion being seen as two distinct pages but with same title tag. I believe for better SEO this should not happen, should there be a rel=next/prevous...

First off, I apologize if this is the wrong forum. I wasn't 100% certain which one this should go in. Anyways, I've been running Google AdWords for a few months (I'm really good with AdWords as well) but finding it mostly ineffective for my newer forum (http://wranglertjforum.com). I've only...

So, I got a disk space warning on my server and started looking into what folders were the biggest offenders. To my surprise, the sitemaps folder was HUGE (like 22 gigs) There were a bunch of .gz files that were old, so I deleted those. I then wiped out the whole folder and went to...

For sites that cater to multiple languages and countries xenforo is challenging because there is no multilingual solution. The problem is this: We cater to specific groups of members who are interested in content from one, two or more languages, but are likely not interested in content in...

We run a very large number of community sites (upwards of 200). We started moving a few sites over to the xenForo platform over the past few years and we do prefer this product over vBulletin. However, Google prefers vBulletin. What can we do about this? Here are a few examples to illustrate...

I keep considering SEOmoz but I'm not sure burrying myself in any more statistics and making knee-jerk reactions based on what I keep seeing is worth it. Does anybody particularly care about how 'seo friendly' their site is beyond the core system of XF, which I have to say is pretty awesome.

We can only define one language per installation. So even if we have a multilingual setup then all content will get the same language identifier. i.e. English content will get the ISO language code lang="de" if the main language is chosen to be German. This is pretty bad for SEO, because Google...

I created this addon to import XenTag Tags on my community, it worked fine, so i would like to share here. It will import XenTag tags to XenForo 1.5 Tag system and also help to redirect old tags that indexed by search engines to new url (from (+) to (-) url). Warning: This was created on...

It would be nice to add support for open graph video tags or (and?) Schema.org for Videos. Adding support for video search would be beneficial for seo purposes I guess.

Description This add-on allows you to manually set the meta-description of any thread. This is especially useful for forums: Where posts contain images or display tags in the meta-description Where the first post contains very few relevant keywords and therefore ranks poorly Features Can...

NOTE: THIS ADDON CURRENTLY DOESN'T WORK WITH XENFORO PROXY FEATURE. Imagine a thread with 100 image attachments, when a user loads the page, these images generate 100x6 = 600 queries in my DB servers (in full-size image mode). This's crazy! This addon reduces the usual 6 queries per image to 1...
