    A Lot of Duplicate Content

    Hi,

    I know that VB 5.2 is a SEO Nightmare, I think that the developers wasn't think about SEO at any.

    I came from VBulletin 3.6.8 + VBSeo to the new VBulletin 5.2.1 and my visits go down at 90 %... and my money too.

    Now, Google find a lot of duplicate content, because VB 5.2 doesn't include a ROBOT.TXT to fix this Issue.

    Can you tell me how fix this error ?

    Look



    this was in 2008...

    How can I have a list of right rules to include into Robot.txt ?

    Regards

    We don't add a robots.txt because we can't ensure that vBulletin is the root of the site. You can add one using your favorite text editor and FTP client though. You should add each URL that you want to be indexed and disallow those that shouldn't. We show no permission and 403 errors to places Search Engines shouldn't go though. We suggest that you have your site indexed via the sitemap XML files that can be generated in the AdminCP. This is the best way to let search engines where to go and it is updated weekly.

    We can't provide any support for VBSEO or recommendations from third-party sites.
