Drop in Rankings After Installing SEO Friendly URL's on Forum
Definately expecting that and I am. I started a thread to track the results on another forum. I think I"ll add them to this thread as well.
Drop in rankings for a few reasons: One being it's getting rid of ALL duplicate content and it's reindexing with the SEO friendly URL's. I read depending on how active bots are on your site will determine the time. This place has bots on it 24/7 so I think it shouldn't take too long. Also I thought why not do it now when the forum is young instead of when it has TONES of pages to process.
Only time will tell but I thought why not. I don't believe in paid advertising much and try and avoid it. My philosophy is all the ad money I could spend I put into making this place better. Seems to be working we're having our first ever over 20,000 unique month. Woohooo.
