Hi,
Firstly, thanks for pointing out the issue with the
vBulletin link. I have fixed it.
The customisations in the headers of most of the vBE Styles are minimal. Only the sidebar style has a lot of customisation, but you should still be able to place your ads.
(The linked text is created by GAL -
The vB Geek ... he makes several excellent commercial modifications for vB).
Regarding the SEOed URLs, they are not the only benefit of
vBSEO - among the multiple other benefits is the Link Consolidation. Basically, stock vB has multiple URLs for a single resource - showthread with t= and p= variables pointing at the same thing etc.
vBSEO
makes all of these links into one URL, so PageRank is preserved.
Of course, I work for Crawlability, so my views are to be expected to be skewed in favour of it.
