vBulletin SEO Setup

What is the first thing you notice when visiting a new forum? For me, it’s the vBulletin skin they are using, and any customizations that have been done to distinguish it from the thousands and thousands of other vBulletin forums on the net. We have some free vBulletin skins available for download in the forums, and I’ve seen some people really take some time and customize those skins to death. They will still be recognizable as being one of the free vBulletin skins that you can download almost everywhere. The best thing to do IMO is getting a full on custom skin, this can be rather expensive but well worth in the end. Another thing you can do is get a paid skin and customize it. These aren’t as know as the free vBulletin skins, and less likely that your guest have seen it on another forum.

Which explains why i haven’t been able to think about anything to write about and the lack of good articles from myself.

I think i know when i happened. It was the night of April the 6th, I was sitting there in my chair getting ready to finish an article about why black hat SEO is bad, and then BOOM out of no where my brain and thoughts and everything were gone.

I’m slowly working on regaining my brain cells which should provide further articles for actual use on the front page. If this ever sees the light of day the site would probably lose all creditability as being full of good vBulletin people!

I did however buy a new video game which is why i think it’s totally blocked me from doing much of anything other then playing it. Lost Odyssey its pretty awesome, i play it a lot on my 360 yea.

Ok Mr aliens please give me back my brains!

    We are still looking for individuals that are interested in vbulletin coding and designing as well as vbulletin seo and promotion work. We are about to approach 20 members in our team, I’d like to add 10 more reliable people that want to work and want to make money!
    We have made a vBulletin Services forum that only you and our vbulletin support team will have access to your threads. If you are looking for vbulletin work on your forum, then post as much info as possible in the vbulletin services forums. Post information like the website address, approximate number of hacks installed, and general stats of the forums as well as vbulletin version number. If you are looking for a forum upgrade, also include the number of styles you want updated..         The more style = more time = more money.. Most of the time I suggest not updating more then three styles, it’s just really time consuming if the designers haven’t updated their styles yet.
    I’ve been pretty busy, as always, we are getting ready to put our house on the market and we still have a lot of work to do to get it ready. So far, we’ve updated the kitchen, in the middle of the bathroom and have some miner work to do in the other rooms. We just spent $1500 on carpet tonight for two of the rooms, I need to rip the carpet up in one and find a place for everything in those two rooms..lol
    I’m not complaining, just saying because of this and my full time gig, I haven’t had much time for the forum. We have a great group of members though and I can see they have started to take up my lack of posting in welcoming new members and helping with the vbulletin questions.
Like I said, we could use a few more people interested in vBulletin work, especially SEO and back link building.

I’ve been working with a facebook developer for a week or two now and we have just released our first facebook application. It’s an arcade app that allows users to play and comment on free arcade games.
I’m planning on adding 2 or 3 more facebook apps in the next few weeks. It just depends on when the developer can get time to design a few of the suggestions.
We’re still working on a vbulletin / facebook integration and I have some exciting news about that, but I’m not at liberty to talk about it just yet. I should have some information within the next month to 6 weeks.
Anyways.. Just wanted to make a quick post about our new "Super Arcade" Facebook application
Check it out, send it to your friends !
