stoo2000 Posted April 6, 2010 Share Posted April 6, 2010 Search Engine Referal statistics This is the OMOC forum in my signature, prior to the datapoints collected the forum was managed by someone else, and ran on PHPbb. I think this should help settle any questions about SEO capabilities of IP.Board 3.0. I'm wondering if you can tell when the forum was upgraded to 3.0 :ph34r: There was no other change in advertising etc, it's purely a 2.3.6 to 3.0.x upgrade.Changed screenshot so it doesn't include the drop off's where a full month isn't included.

stoo2000 Posted April 6, 2010 Author Share Posted April 6, 2010 hmmm.. i swear to god the chart didnt look like that last time i looked at it... sorry long night, early morning.. It didn't it included some partial data for incomplete months (this month) obviously it's going to go down alot since this month isn't over. I changed it to remove that confusion :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

openfire Posted August 19, 2010 Share Posted August 19, 2010 I'm guessing that the upgrade to 3.0 came around June 1st? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stoo2000 Posted August 19, 2010 Author Share Posted August 19, 2010 I'm guessing that the upgrade to 3.0 came around June 1st? Yep! The site in question saw an immediate increase in search engine traffic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stoo2000 Posted August 19, 2010 Author Share Posted August 19, 2010 Just thought I would take a look at the SE traffic from the upgrade until the end of July. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not if both are you are tracking visits to your main website too, but my graph shows the websites forum on a sub domain. If you combine your website with a forum on the same domain, your website might affect that traffic too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stoo2000 Posted August 19, 2010 Author Share Posted August 19, 2010 what modules did you install? or just use IPB's default naturally embeded SEO functions? The forum does use my sitemap generator, but that wasn't setup right away. The initial upwards direction in the graph was just Ip.Board 3.0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

majdi Posted August 20, 2010 Share Posted August 20, 2010 SEF link and my forum have always been under /forum (even before the migration) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
openfire Posted August 20, 2010 Share Posted August 20, 2010 SEF link and my forum have always been under /forum (even before the migration) OK, so before the switch, a URL to one of your posts would have been like this: site.com/forum/interesting-thread and after the switch to IPB your URLs are now: site.com/forum/topic/interesting-thread ?

Axel Wers Posted August 20, 2010 Share Posted August 20, 2010 I don't have data from Google Analytics, but since we upgraded to 3.x.x (one year ago) our traffic dropped down. We never reached similar traffic so far than before upgrade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
