Legacy Serious keyword density problem

galerio · Apr 15, 2011

In my Google webmaster tool I have now as top keyword of my forum the words used by this plugin "like" and "received" (in Italian: "piace" and "ricevuto").

This is a critical problem.

I will try to substitute the words with small images. I hope this could help.

We'll look into making it optionally hidden for guests in a future version.

galerio · Apr 16, 2011

Thanks, by now I have had to disable postbit display of statistics while I'm searching for a solution.
And a solution by now is to manually put

Code:

{vb:raw thanks_postbit}

wrapped in conditional template to show for reg users only.
So it will be:

Code:

<vb:if condition="$show['member']">{vb:raw thanks_postbit}</vb:if>

Can you help me to find the right place of template where to put it inside?

I am trying to add it right after "vb:raw template_hook.postbit_userinfo_right" but nothing is shown. Same thing in other part of the template...

Fillip H. · Apr 16, 2011

Did you enable manual placement of the postbit in the options?

galerio · Apr 16, 2011

Manual Postbit Deployment -> Yes
Is the only option I changed to keep the plugin active but to remove temporary all the things under the avatar. I've also fushed the cache.... but nothing... Where do you think I should place the code?

Fillip H. · Apr 16, 2011

Anywhere in postbit or postbit_legacy will do.

Hi, the only place where it appears is in postbit.legacy, but it is not the right place, I need it in postbit, but it doesn't appear in nowhere.

This is my postbit templtate:

PHP:

<li class="postbit postbitim postcontainer" id="post_{vb:raw post.postid}">
	<div class="postdetails_noavatar">

I'll appreciate if you can help me.

But... I found another problem reguarding VB Activity: same issue as above, in Google Webmaster the most important keyword are the ones in VB Activity postbit. So if you can help me to modify the plugin itself to insert the condition "if is user then show", this will help not only me but every other user.

Fillip H. · Apr 16, 2011

I've just tested this myself on vB 4.1.2 and vB 4.1.3 and I had no problems manually moving the thanks postbit.

I'm at a loss why it wouldn't work for you.

But if Google doesn't ignore postbits, then won't the words "posts", "join date" and such also be very high on the keyword ranking for you?

galerio · Apr 16, 2011

I think that google has a filter of known keyword for web forum's common words. And "Activity" or "Received" (in italian) maybe are counted as real keyword and not just common template phrases. Maybe this happens only for an italian translation of your plugins. Now I've just replaced phrases with a png image.
This are the firsts five keywords found by google:
1. piace 100%
2. forum 94%
3. dati 63%
4. activity 63%
5. ricevuti 50%

All that terms, but "forum", come from VB Activity and Post Thanks/like.

About the postbit template, can you tell me exactly where do you have put the code? I've also tried to put it as first o last line in the code, but nothing.

Fillip H. · Apr 16, 2011

Directly below

HTML:

{vb:raw template_hook.postbit_userinfo_right_after_posts}

would probably be your best bet.

EDIT: Try using $bbuserinfo['userid'] not $show['member']

galerio · Apr 16, 2011

Thank you, but it doesn't work... I'll try other solutions.

About makeing Vb Activity and Post Thanks/Like visible only to members can be usefull also if someone want to limit server resource and bandwidth to guest.

galerio · Apr 16, 2011

I found the problem that prevents to display the info manually in postbit template and that prevent also the Require/Disable checkboxes on new posts: a plugin called MARCO1 Advanced Quick Reply - Advanced Quick Edit - With Smiles http://www.vbulletin.org/forum/showthread.php?t=232730
Now I've disabled it and everything works. Thanks for all.
