Best Forum software for SEO

by PrincessPeach Posted: 15 years ago 10 replies

I am implementing a large forum into my website and I want it to have SEO optimized theads. Can anyone recommend a forum?

So far I have narrowed it down to #1. vBulletin with VBSEO. I've read mixed reviews about VBulletin however such as their original founders sold the company and they have lost their creative edge. And the fact that you have to keep on paying $xxx per update.

And #2. PHPBB with PHPBB SEO.

Ideas?

  Invision is awesome. You need to think about usability along with SEO. A forum that looks crappy and has poor usability but great SEO may make the difference between profit and no profit - or community interaction for that matter.

Vbulletin hands down, I.P. Board is a close second.

VBulletin of course. Also use the vBSEO plugin

  One more vote for smf. From seo point of view smf is better than phpbb.
