By default, all vB-powered pages have "Powered by vBulletin" in all Page Titles.

Apply the following modification to remove it, thus increasing your own keyword density.

In Phrase Manager, search for this phrase variable: x_powered_by_vbulletin

By default, it is:

PHP: 
{1} - Powered by  vBulletin

Change it to:

PHP: 
{1}


or change it to say something else you want it to say

On some styles it may be [powered_by_vbulletin] instead of [x_powered_by_vbulletin] so check it out as well.

As someone who got a set of nulled forums shut down before, if you have the ability to do so, remove the notice at the top. It's an easy thing for the "powers that be" to do a google search for that phrase and take a quick look at your link and confirm registration on vb.

If they want to discover that it's vBulletin so badly... they can just look at the forum structure and such rather then searching phrases. But then again, it's not a bad idea.

Powered By vBulletin, and vBulletin, just remember also to remove the meta generator in the header include and replace the Powered By vBulletin with another one just like GYSN like Powered By SMF or something like that,and search a good hosting company

Which files do you need to change to remove "VBulletin" from the meta in the source code?

Nevermind, found it.
For those of you wondering how to do it, edit the headinclude template, and search for "meta" you'll see where to remove the line. It seemed to have worked..

how about this:
<script type="text/javascript">
<!--
vBulletin_init();
//-->
</script><!-- vBadvanced 5-0-5-4-8 -->

</body>
</html>
Click to expand...
from vbadvanced cmps source

<!--
vBulletin_init();
//-->
</script><!-- Powered by vbadvanced -->
</body>
Click to expand...
from vbadvanced dynamics and links directory source

where do you remove this?

Here are the steps to remove the branding from vB 3.6.x:

1. Edit the footer template here:

Admin Control Panel -> Styles & Templates -> Style Manager -> Edit Templates -> footer

And remove this section:

<!-- Do not remove this copyright notice -->
$vbphrase[powered_by_vbulletin]
<!-- Do not remove this copyright notice -->

2. Then, change this section of your FORUMHOME template from this:

<title><phrase 1="$vboptions[bbtitle]">$vbphrase[x_powered_by_vbulletin]</phrase></title>

To this:

<title>$vboptions[bbtitle]</title>

3. And remove this from the printthread template:

<p class="smallfont" align="center">
$vbphrase[powered_by_vbulletin]
<br />
$copyrighttext
</p>

4. Change the phrase x_powered_by_vbulletin:

From this:

{1} - powered by vBulletin

To this:

{1}

5. Then, edit the vbulletin_message phrase and change this:

vBulletin Message

...to whatever you want.

6. For the vBulletin FAQ, just edit it with a new translation.

Admin Control Panel -> FAQ -> FAQ Manager -> vBulletin FAQ -> Edit -> Translations

7. And finally, in archive/index.php you need to remove this line:

<div id=\"copyright\">$vbphrase[vbulletin_copyright]</div>


Notes:

A. To edit Templates:

Admin Control Panel -> Styles & Templates -> Style Manager -> Edit Templates

B. To edit Phrases:

Admin Control Panel -> Languages & Phrases -> Search in Phrases -> phrasename (Phrase Variable Name Only)

Click on edit, and place the new phrase in the available language text boxes.
