Hi,

Now that my site re-org is somewhat finalized....

Would you be able to assist me in assuring I have this product configured properly?

I spent the past couple months watching the errors in Google Webmaster Tools improve as I watched what the issue was and corrected it.

I think I have everything pretty much set but would love an experienced set of eyes to double check that I am all good.

I would love to just set it and forget it at this point.

I'd also like an opinion if I would benefit from taking the PRO version if you feel it would be beneficial for my site.

When the fit is there, I don't hesitate in purchasing your products....


Thanks.

D.
 
To be honest, the default configuration options are already pretty much optimal :)

The only thing that we require changing is turning on the automatic sitemap generation, because the sitemap directory isn't guaranteed to be writable by the web server by default, so we can't give people the impression the sitemap is running when in fact it isn't.

That being said, if you PM me with an AdminCP account, I'd be happy to have a poke and see if there's anything I can tell that can be changed :)
 
PM with details sent.

Can you also sanity check the .htaccess I am using?

I added some items based on what I was reading on the forums.. but perhaps I didn't need them.

RewriteEngine on

# Retrieve gamedata requests and send to new dbtech locations
RewriteRule ^arcade/gamedata/(.*) dbtech/vbarcade/media/$1 [L]

# Retrieve crossdomain requests and send to new dbtech location
RewriteRule ^crossdomain\.xml dbtech/vbarcade/crossdomain.xml [L]

RewriteRule ^(.+)$ dbseo.php [L,QSA]
 
Were you using the vB4 friendly URLs before? If not, you won't need the
Code:
RewriteRule ^threads/.* showthread.php [QSA]
RewriteRule ^forums/.* forumdisplay.php [QSA]
RewriteRule ^members/.* member.php [QSA]
RewriteRule ^blogs/.* blog.php [QSA]
RewriteRule ^entries/.* entry.php [QSA]
block, as it may conflict with some DBSEO rules if they start with the same prefixes.

If you were using them, you should change all your Blog URL formats to not use the blogs/ prefix, as it's likely to conflict.
 
Hi,

I had VBSEO for years prior to my upgrade from 3.8.x to 4.2.2 in Nov.

When I upgraded in Nov, I removed VBSEO, enabled "friendly URLs" and put the redirection in the .htaccess to handle the switch.

Then I installed your product after about two weeks as I wanted a better way to generate sitemaps than what VB did natively....

Which now leads me to where I am now.... trying to figure out how to get back on track after all the messing around.


I know I really messed things up playing around like I did but it wasn't planed out as well as I had hoped for.


I just really want to get it to a point where I can just set it and forget it... and let time do it's thing
