Keyword Density on the Forums

It is a bit of a mission getting the forumdisplay's high on the search engines. One of the issues is keyword density. The phrase has only been in the title/metas/firstwords. With the listings of all the threads, there needs to be more mention of the main search phrase of the forum.

So, I have now added the forum title just underneath each thread as listed on the page. It does wonders for keyword density, and even though it is being repeated, it is always next to unique words, so no duplicate content issues. With addition of Link Vault links, I have had no trouble getting forum pages ranked on Google.

Mention of the forum is only made when people are not logged in.

threadbit template -

after

Code:
<span style="cursor:pointer" onclick="window.open('member.php?$session[sessionurl]u=$thread[postuserid]')">$thread[postusername]
 			</if>


add (the if statement can be used if you don't want to show the forum title when people are logged in)

Code:
<if condition="!$show['member']"> - $foruminfo[title]</if>
We are using vbseo and they have some code that does this, but this is great for non-vbseo users.. brought to you by T2DMan
