SEO Mods for forum software

[GTL]

Does anyone use 3rd party SEO mods for your forum, eg: vBSEO?

If anyone doesn't know what it is, it turns the forum URLs into more "SE freindly" links. eg:

It would turn this link;

http://www.webjuniors.com/showthread.php?t=84

...into something like;

http://www.webjuniors.com/f5/Stumbleupon/

I personally don't see the need in purchasing these kind of tools, if you're going to get found by search engines then it'll happen without the fancy links :p

Generally a site will only be found if there is only one link to a particular page of the website (ie there are no session ids in the URL). Most of the time the session IDs are removed from the URL from spiders crawling your site.

Actually VBSEO is to a great mod to have on forum as it can really increase the number of pages, that are indexed by Google.
