XenForo already has SEO features built-inHi
vBSEO is the best SEO plugin ever , used only to optimize vBulletin
why not to copy some of it's best features and paste those features in xF ?
or would you program xFSEO for XenForo ?
Could you give concrete examples of what you would like to see?@Rigel Kentaurus : you're correct , XenForo is already well-optimized , but why not to make more optimized ?
@kkm323 : but it's not SEO'd enough !
Judging by how well Google indexes various XenForo installations, I'd have to say your assumption of XenForo being "not SEO'd enough" is incorrect. There's various examples of how XenForo excels at being indexed properly by search engines.@Rigel Kentaurus : you're correct , XenForo is already well-optimized , but why not to make more optimized ?

Most meta tags aren't really used much anymore (Keywords for example).My opinion is that much of what vBSEO offers is snake oil. Free products for vB can duplicate all the meaningful features. Indeed is there any real evidence, rather than unproven testimonials, to indicate vBSEO helps? I've seen religious fervor about it, such as an encounter once with a forum where the moderators became bent out of shape when I simply requested evidence.
As to XenForo, I'd like to see the ability to customize meta tags in the control panel, without just copying and pasting into a template.
They would be handled better by add-ons, especially if it was made so other add-ons could plug into them.There are two things that vbSEO did that are real necessities that XF doesn't do. First, sitemaps. Second, ping. Both could be handled nicely by addons.
