The problem with case studies is that the installation of software is rarely the only variable. On one large forum, I did see traffic climb steadily in the months following installation. But, you might well ask what else changed. More links? Sure. More user-created content? Sure. I do feel that vBSEO has boosted search traffic, but how much is impossible to say.

Having said that, I've been doing SEO for 10 years and I found that vBSEO did just about all of the things to a vBulletin forum that I thought about doing myself, and quite a few beyond that. If I was going to bring a new vBulletin forum online today and if search traffic was important, I'd install vBSEO right out of the gate.
