vBulletin SEO Setup

Bottom line: Don’t do it, and don’t even think about it doing it. If you are taking care of your own SEO or have hired a company or individual to take care of your SEO Campaign, it is still your responsibilty to ensure you or your hired gun are only using “white hat SEO”. You do not want to mistakingly or knowningly take part of such a scheme…ever.

Your title tag is one of the most important aspects of Search Engine Optimisation. It tells a Search Engine exactly what the page contains, so you obviously want to target that to your most important search keywords. Here are three things you can do to maximise your title tag with vBulletin.

1. Remove “powered by vBulletin” from your titles

This one’s an oldie but a goodie, who wants to give vBulletin some of your precious title tag juice? Not me! Don’t worry, this is perfectly in line with the vBulletin TOS.

1. Open up your forum’s control panel.
2. Go to Language & Phrases > Search in Phrases
3. In the search box, enter x_powered_by_vbulletin, and make sure “Search in…” is set to Phrase Text and Phrase Variable Name.
4. Edit the phrase, and change it from {1} - Powered by vBulletin to just simply {1}
5. Save the phrase!

2. Change your FORUMHOME title tag.

On my blogging forum, I managed to get to #11 on Google by simply editing the <title> tag in my FORUMHOME to better represent the search terms I wanted to target for.

1. Open the Style Manager in your Control Panel.
2. Expand the Style you want to work with, and then expand the “Forum Home Templates”, finally choosing to edit the FORUMHOME template.
3. Find the <title> tag and edit the text inside of it to better reflect the tags you want to target for.
