In this version SEO title optimization was made for: news, blogs, pictures, videos, events, hotornot page.
It takes information from Blog titles, video descriptions, etc.
So, for example, if you read a blog with title "My first blog" - the <title> of the page looks like this:
 
My first blog | Member | Yoursite name
 
Well, I think you have the idea.
Just replace your title with new SEO optimized code.

Do you see "What are you doing?" question now?
 
Inspired by godyn's post here and on vldForum I decided to develop it for vldCrowd and for extending my paid services. BTW I helped as I could Godyn with his work.
 
This mod website needn't me to alter database structure at all.
 
I'm not sure if dating websites need this feature but if you have community website you certainly need this feature :) and you can get it for $49 as vldCrowd member and for $149 if you are not :D View Comments & Reply...

Hi fellows,
I think VLD would benefit from some small facebook functions:
 
- the users' status: Sven: is reading VLDcrowd now
- a page with all the statusses
- comments on it
- icon with nr of new comments
 
Would it be easy to implement a status system?
Or maybe use the blog function for it? And put on the frontpage an input field? View Comments & Reply...

The following are instructions for the CUSTOM PAGE COMMENT MOD. Tested on and being used on vldPersonals 2.5.3 at http://www.filipina-lady.net.
 
You can find out more about vldCrowd mods at: http://www.vldcrowd.com/
 
With this mod you can add a comment section to your custom pages. You also have the option to NOT add comments to a custom page. For example, you may NOT want to add comments to your TOS custom page but may want to have comments for a custom page you created on a topic you want feedback or discussion on. A great way to let your members interact with your custom pages and to create more content for google to index.
 
Backing up is always recommended before making changes to current site.

HOW TO USE
 

 

 

 

 
IMPORTANT NOTE
 
If you created external custom pages, you may have to re-create custom pages to use the new page_default.tpl. That is what I had to do. But it was easy. All I did was copy the content and pasted it in the new external template (rename your external template, do not overwrite page_default.tpl).
 
There are plenty of instructions on the forum on how to create both a custom page from the CP or an external custom page.
 
Here is a link to one of my older posts you can use as a guide to understand the difference between custom pages created in the CP and external custom pages: http://www.vldpersonals.com/forum/viewtopic.php?id=2656 View Comments & Reply...

vldCrowd is now on hotscripts. Hopefully this will give vldCrowd more exposure.
 
I encourage all fans of vldCrowd to stop by hotscripts and give a 5 star review on vldCrowd site. I already gave my view telling the world if they own vldPersonals, they need to check out vldCrowd
 
Ok, below is the link. If it is not clickable, click the title of this post to display on the main blog page and it should be clickable.
 
You will find the listing at:

Image replacement is a simple css technique that helps with SEO. Let me explain why you would use it.
 
A lot of webmasters like to use a graphic program like photoshop to create a text heading in jpg, png, gif, etc, format. Usually they use a graphic program because they can be more creative with their heading design.
 
However, search engines prefer regular text over graphic text for indexing a site.
 
Image replacement is a technique that allows you to use a graphic program to make fancy headings, yet satisfy search engines preference for regular text.
 
MAKE THE FOLLOWING CHANGES TO YOUR HEADER TAG IN SITE.CSS BY ADDING TEXT-INDENT TO THE FOLLOWING CODE TO HIDE THE TEXT FROM THE VISITOR, BUT IT IS STILL VISIBLE FOR SEARCH ENGINES TO INDEX.
 
div#header h1 {
text-indent: -9999px;
padding-left: 60px;
float: left;
font: bold 26px/83px Trebuchet MS, tahoma, arial, sans-serif;
color: #ffffff; }
 
The proof is in the source code. I will use my site as an example. If you go to http://www.filipina-lady.net and look at the source code you will see what google's spider sees:
 
<h1><span>Filipina Lady, Asian Dating, Filipina Penpal, Asian Personals, Asian Girls, Asian Singles</span></h1>
 
(the above text was entered in the CP - Settings - Name your site:)
 
However, because of Image Replacement, you DO NOT see the above text when you look at the front end. Instead you see my graphic heading:
 
"Filipina Lady & Asian Dating" created with a graphic program like Fireworks, Photoshop, etc.
 
So basically by using Image Replacement you satisfy two requirements: (1) Provide regular text with your keywords in it to help index and get your site ranked in google yet is not visible on the front end and (2) you use a graphic program to create a graphic title for the front that stands out for the visitor.

I have been analyzing some vldPersonal sites these past few days and from the evidence, you can once again conclude that content (pages) and inbound links are the strongest player in getting traffic to your site.
 
For example: my site has over 17,000 inbound links and only 6305 pages. Another site (site B) has only 8000 inbound links but over 33,000 pages. Which one do you think gets the most traffic? In this case, the site with the most pages wins – site B. To get some good inbound links, site B needs to get more sites linking to him but the fact site B has so many pages indexed by google also means they own a lot more internet territory than I do. My 17,000 inbound links keeps it close but to pass site B in traffic, I need to generate more pages. Since I have 17,000 inbound links, I may not need 33,000 pages to pass him as long as site B's inbound links don't increase.
 
Once again, a strong SEO approach is to get as many inbound links as possible and keep creating pages for your site. With vldPersonals, you can create pages with blogs, news, and custom pages. Wouldn’t it be great if you could get every member of your site to write at least 10 blogs a day? Sorry Ramil, I can’t even do for my own site :)
 
If you check vldPersonals sitemap (generated using cron job or link) custom pages are included in the sitemap. A big plus for when google crawls your site.
 
As a side note, when I checked my backlinks I had over 300 links from vldPersonals Forum. I don’t know why members do not put a link in their signature on the Forum. vldForum is one of the few forums who allows dofollow links while more and more do not these days. Now if we could only get vldCrowd to allow signatures in blogs with links, we would have two places that may give us backlinks :) View Comments & Reply...
