    While I believe that IB should have included a warning about potential effects for changing URLs, it is the responsibility of the site owner to consider the risks and determine the best course of action.

    I implemented vbseo on one 3.x site and while it has benefited significantly in exposure and content relevancy, it never really re-gained it's previous rank.

    However, a couple years before I implemented an seo solution on another vb 3.x site that resulted in a change on hundreds of thousands of URLs - and traffic increased exponentially.

    Although it is possible to maintain your URL structure, I think the drop in traffic on so many vb4 sites represents user's impression. If a forum isn't fun to use, there's always somewhere else to go.

      The same happened to me: http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/showt...ce-VB4-upgrade
      I didn't install CMS, I didn't change my url structure. (I am using vbseo)
      I just upgraded to vb4, nothing more.

          Maybe to much advertisings or they don't like the new style?
