Looking for SEO friendly Community Forum

[obiztek]

Hi,

I am looking for SEO friendly BB for using it on some websites of our and clients.Either free ot little bit reasonable cost is ok

I am in the process of evalutaing various BB . My main requiremens are :-

1) Thread file extension should be html.
2) It should work on both Linux , Windows hosting server

My question is that whether phpbb can be configure to generate HTML pages instead of regular php /asp / aspx pages.

If i understood correctly, this is a PHPBB question, and this is the vBulletin support forums?

Guys, I don't see anything there about PHPBB... He said "various BB" meaning diffrent ones and he said a reasonable cost is good. vB= very reasonable.

You can download .html extension type packages. And then there are some third party scripts at vb.org that use mod_rewrite and use the thread name.

If you decide to go with vBulletin, you can buy a third-party plugin (assuming you go with 3.5.1) called vB SEO for $149. Somewhat expensive, but again, you get what you pay for, and this plugin supposedly makes vB as SEO friendly as possible.

vBulletin is just fine and SEO friendly out of the box.

Vbulletin when purchased is Search Engine Friendly out of the box.

And as a customer you will get access to a lot of plugins on the boards at VBorg. Many SEO plugins to choose from

if vbulletin was search engine friendly out of the box then I don't see why vbseo is so popular and peoples cares to install it... vbulletin is as search engine friendly as phpbb out of the box but you'll have to go for a a SEO plugin like Nuhit SEO or vbSEO if you really would like to make your forum SEO because the authors have a focus on SEO where the vb team has not. Btw obiztek you can check on my forum in my profile , vbseo rewrites my thread pages to .html, it looks like what you're looking for.

You do realise that the post you are replying to is over 2 years old?

And Pacman1 didn't even talk about SEO's, blatant trolling.

This thread should be closed.
