Case Study: vBSEO on HaloBoards.com Week 12
We're a little past the three month mark since the installation of vBSEO on HaloBoards.com, so I'm going to show the results from Google Analytics as well as our current SERPS results. I've decided that in order to keep the updates on track I'll be just doing one post per month for each case study. This will allow me to focus the extra time on writing other content for the blog 
. Ok, now that we've settled that here are the numbers for Week 12 (a little late) for vBSEO's affect on search engine indexing and increasing web traffic for HaloBoards.com. Here are the numbers for Week 12:
site:haloboards.com (Google) up 2,600 to 26,700
site:haloboards.com (Yahoo) down 121 to 12,729
site:haloboards.com (MSN) down 65 to 142
Well the numbers are pretty much leveling off now, but as I've said all along the most important thing to me is vBSEO's affect on sending more traffic to my forum and here are some graphs from Google Analytics:
April 10th to May 10th (1 month before vBSEO installation)
May 11th to June 11th (1 month after vBSEO installation)
June 12th to July 12th (2 months after vBSEO installation)
July 13th to August 13th (3 months after vBSEO installation)
The traffic numbers for last month were pretty low, but I'm not that concerned about it as it consisted of mid to late July and into early August (two terrible times for traffic especially on my forums). I'm really looking to see how vBSEO does as we get back into the peak times for traffic. I'm still satisfied with the results and look forward to showing more numbers on next month's vBSEO update for my vBulletin forum HaloBoards.com.
