Google's Adsense does a pretty decent job of delivering relevant results, but too often the advertising is not at all related to the topic, or even the forum being viewed. I was able to increase my click through rate by using the targeting feature, and focusing the Adsense bots on the content. You should see an increase in the click through rate, and the ecpm through higher smart pricing. Let me know you're results if you give it a try!
In the ACP, make the following edits on the default skin your bots use. If you have Google ad section targeting already in your skin (i.e. Header & Footer Wrapper <% BOARD %>) you should remove it first. ACP -> Look & Feel (tab) -> Skin Manager -> Edit template HTML... Topic View, RenderRow Find: CODE {$post['post']} {$post['edit_by']} Replace with: CODE <!-- google_ad_section_start --> {$post['post']} <!-- google_ad_section_end --> {$post['edit_by']} Topic View, topic_page_top Find: CODE <td width='99%' style='word-wrap:break-word;'><div><{CAT_IMG}> <b>{$data['TOPIC']['title']}</b>{$data['TOPIC']['description']}</div></td> Replace with: CODE <td width='99%' style='word-wrap:break-word;'><div><{CAT_IMG}> <b><!-- google_ad_section_start -->{$data['TOPIC']['title']}</b>{$data['TOPIC']['description']}<!-- google_ad_section_end --></div></td> Optional, to increase the relevance for the forum index view (one level below the board index), edit the following... Forum Index, PageTop Find: CODE <td width='99%'><div><{CAT_IMG}> {$data['name']}</div></td> Replace: CODE <td width='99%'><div><{CAT_IMG}> <!-- google_ad_section_start -->{$data['name']}<!-- google_ad_section_end --></div></td> Forum Index, render_forum_row Find: CODE <div> {$data['go_new_post']}{$data['prefix']} {$data['attach_img']}<span id='tid-span-{$data['tid']}'><a id="tid-link-{$data['tid']}" href="{$this->ipsclass->base_url}showtopic={$data['tid']}" title="{$this->ipsclass->lang['topic_started_on']} {$data['start_date']}">{$data['title']}</a></span> {$data['PAGES']} <div class="desc"><span onclick='return span_desc_to_input("{$data['tid']}");' id='tid-desc-{$data['tid']}'>{$data['description']}</span></div></div> Replace with: CODE <!-- google_ad_section_start --> <div> {$data['go_new_post']}{$data['prefix']} {$data['attach_img']}<span id='tid-span-{$data['tid']}'><a id="tid-link-{$data['tid']}" href="{$this->ipsclass->base_url}showtopic={$data['tid']}" title="{$this->ipsclass->lang['topic_started_on']} {$data['start_date']}"> {$data['title']}</a></span> {$data['PAGES']} <div class="desc"><span onclick='return span_desc_to_input("{$data['tid']}");' id='tid-desc-{$data['tid']}'>{$data ['description']} </span></div></div><!-- google_ad_section_end --> edit: (fixed bug when using click and hold to edit option)

Since this is a new application, I thought there would be some interest in seeing the results of an actual site using it. I've purchased the copyright removal option, so I won't be including the URL, but I'm going to post regular updates regarding search engine results from Google, Yahoo, and MSN. I'll also post occasional tends regarding unique visitors, page views, and Alexa ranking.
A little background. This is a mature forum (over 4 years old). It ran the default IPB configuration with the exception of blocking user profiles from guests (and bots). It's running version 2.1.7, but will be upgraded to 2.2.2 soon. It has over 200K posts, but far fewer search engine results, and Google results have been slowly dropping. Currently, I'm only using communityseo to rewrite topics and forums, with the option to include the title in topic/forum link. It previously had a free mod to submit sitemaps to Google and Yahoo, I'm now using the communityseo sitemap. I installed it a week ago. Except for spider activity, I really don't expect to see many results the first few weeks. If results are good, I plan to install this application on a much larger forum. Initial baseline link results (03/28/2007): Google: 49,600 Yahoo: 86,096 MSN: 551 After one week: Google: 58,900 Yahoo: 87,459 MSN: 589 I have noticed a very large increase in the amount of Googlebot activity, and unique visitor traffic is trending slightly higher. Unless something drastic happens in the meantime, I'll probably post another update in a week. edit: only a handful of FURLs have been included in Google's index.

Why not offer a 90-day money back guarantee? You have a new, unproven product, and I would guess many people are on the fence, waiting for others to be the guinea pigs. A 90-day guarantee would show you have faith and confidence in the ability of this program to increase search engine referrals, and increase revenue.
If after 90-days the purchaser doesn't feel they've gotten their money's worth, they can uninstall the program, and request a refund. You deactivate the license, and refund the purchase price. Unless time is spent on support, it really costs nothing, and potentially greatly increases the installed userbase. After you get a decent base of sites using the software, and some success stories, then you can reconsider if it's needed.

As someone in the market, here's my initial impressions on CommunitySEO.
