vBSEO 3.6.0 Gold Highlights


1. A full featured “Likes” system: A “Social Graph” for your community
The long-awaited Likes Tree integration is now available! Made popular by Facebook, and now making its way to forums and social web applications everywhere, the “Likes” system allows your users to effortlessly provide feedback to one another on the content they find most useful. Most importantly, this activity creates an underlying layer of data that works as a “Social Graph” for your community, opening the doors to a myriad of USEFUL features that have the potential to alter the way we interact with forums in different ways. One of them is enabling people to find the site’s most useful content more efficiently (see our “Likes Tree” feature below). Another powerful use for this data is the ability to surface the most popular and/or relevant content for search engines, be it via Search Engine Friendly pages that list this content, or by using it as priority multipliers for your Search Engine XML sitemaps (coming in vBSEO Search Engine XML Sitemaps 3.1).

2. The vBSEO “Likes Tree”: Redefining the way people interact with forums
It gives you (and your users) an instant “birds-eye-view” of the “Likes” distribution in a thread, allowing you to *quickly* identify the most useful/important content, no matter how long the conversation is. This new feature represents a new paradigm as it allows people to extract more value out of forums in less time.

3. Updated Social Bookmarking and Sharing system
The vBSEO Bookmarks system has been highly improved. It now appears as a pop-out link in the post bit to save space and better fit the postbit layout.

The "Likes Tree" REDUX by vBSEO

02 Dec

I stopped by vBSEO the other day and saw something that looked pretty slick. At first I wasn’t impressed but the more I looked at it, the more I saw it was something vBulletin was severally missing.

Here is some info from vBSEO along with a couple screenshots.

When we first introduced the Likes Tree concept a few weeks ago, it was a vision, a dream… something that seemed cool, and perhaps useful for those seeking to browse threads more efficiently.vBSEO - Search Engine Optimization for vBulletin

The title of the original thread was: The “Likes Tree”, finding a forum’s most useful content will change forever…. and, although I do agree this title is accurate today, I was in for a surprise to the feature’s TRUE *usefulness*.

In a nutshell, I believe this feature will REDEFINE the way people interact with forums. It has done that for me, and I’m happy to announce that as of right now, all vBSEO.com users will be able to experience it for themselves!

While conducting our initial tests (admins have had the feature enabled for a few days now) we quickly realized the underlying data was SO powerful, that it would be a waste not to put it to work in areas other than enabling the discovery of a thread’s most meaningful content. That is the long way of saying that some really powerful stuff is coming from vBSEO, and the “Likes Tree” is *only* the first of those features. SEO is at the core of these enhancements, and that’s why this feature is 100% relevant to vBSEO.

The *first embodiment* of the “Likes Tree” now includes filters that enable users to:

  1. Find a thread’s “Top” liked posts in chronological order
  2. Find “All” liked posts in a thread, by author, i.e. the “Likes Distribution” of a thread
  3. Find the distribution of likes within “This Page” (a singe page of a thread)

The final implementation is quite different to the original iteration, due to both, technical limitations and performance considerations, as well as a number of *extra values* that became obvious to us during the initial testing phase. Read the rest of this entry »
