I'm looking for a way to REALLY fine tune the SEO of my new MyBB. What are some of the standard SEO techniques/modifications to optimize a MYBB? As of right now, I am already using an SEO mod from spicefuse. I'm using MyBB 1.3

Impressive, since there is no MyBB 1.3 outside of our development SVN.

I take it you mean 1.2?

MyBB 1.4 comes with SEO friendly URLs, there is also a tutorial somewhere in the tutorials section about enabling NOFOLLOW for links.
Heres a link to the NOFOLLOW tutorial.

I meant 1.2.13

Anyways. I have the spicefuse seo mod working fine.. but when I view a topic it spits out something like...

http://vgchat.info/new-domain-name-t-58.html

How can I make it display the board name in front of that so it turns out like....

A modification needs to be performed for that: http://community.mybboard.net/thread-31424.html

I'd like to point out that having keywords in URLs generally does not help with SEO, despite what you may think.
Either way, I'd rather have words instead of strings of numbers for urls... *gets ready to post in said thread.

Would you like to place your .htaccess code here?
I delete this file from my ftp, and the link to the mod is broken Angel

If there is someone else with this code, please post it.

Thnx.
