How hard do you think it would be to develop an SEO mod for a forum software?

Just thinking about all the includes you would have to do on IPB scares me.

But if you knew the code of IPB very well, and were pretty good at PHP, do you think it would still be that hard?

I do. Just think of all the updates it would require in order to keep up with the ever changing algo's and policy changes by the major indexes. Textual content has always been king in SEO. That's the best optimization anyone can produce...

... a very basic mod to help augment the basic aspects of SEO that haven't changed in ages wouldn't be so bad though, as long as it's not presented as an "end all - be all" answer to SEO. Title tags, H1 tags, key words and descriptions... even the basics that aren't already included in the forum software... well that all includes more coding than I'd want to do lol.

I would guess that any SEO mod would have to consider the database inquiries and how to avoid bogging down the forum software, since to be most effective it would have to query the database for the newest content to produce SEO info.

Just my 2cents worth. The thought of creating an effective SEO mod hurts my head. :lmao:

And what can I do myself ? Besides plugging my forum and getting a blog. Which I did already for the entire summer of 2008.
