I'll be showing my traffic just to my forums soon. I don't think I can make any real conclusions just yet but I think in a few more weeks I can make a call on whether or not it is worth the money.

I was out of town for about a week and something is weird going on at the moment:

site:www.branica.com/forums/ - 10 of about 498 from www.branica.com/forums. (0.04 seconds)

site:www.branica.com/forums/* - Results 1 - 12 from www.branica.com/forums/*. (0.08 seconds)

Ratio: 2.4%

357 (11) pages are now indexed using the new url structure. The numbers in the brackets shows the query using the /*.

Don't quite understand what happened yet and it might change tomorrow. We will see. Not exactly great.

387 (30) pages are now indexed using the new url structure. The numbers in the brackets shows the query using the /*.

A little bit better. My traffic has fallen off at the moment but I am holding off judgment until a few more weeks. I am in it for the long haul.

Things are looking better but most of my previous rankings have dropped a bit. Let's see if they recover soon.

site:www.branica.com/forums/* - Results 1 - 10 of about 188 from www.branica.com/forums/*. (0.07 seconds)

Ratio: 30.3% - nice gains here.

All pages are now indexed using the new format.

So all looks good - but my previous rankings have not recovered. So I am not sure if vbSEO was well spent money for my particular site. Oh well, I will have to keep since I don't want to go through the forums to get re-index under the older urls.

I'll update this thread from time-to-time.
