Re: Why!!


How old is that forum?

Edit: thats quite an old forum (January 2005), apart from pagerank the forum has 1230 indexed pages in google, even though the forum itself has 14000+ threads and over 100000 posts!

Did the forum ever had a page rank?

It was created in 2005, but was under co.uk at the time, changed it to .com around 10-11 months ago. I don't know if it has ever had a PR as i is only the past few weeks that i have become interested in SEO, ranking etc.

Not the best way to use the older domain, you should have done a 301 redirect from the older domain to the new one.

In any case, now you need to focus on getting inbound links. Whether its through submission to various free directories or by utilizing the social bookmarking sites and forum signatures.

Also you need to optimize your forum so that google can spider its content easily, easiest way would be buying vbseo if you can afford it.

Re: Why!!


In that case you would need to get your hands dirty, first off get rid of duplicate content, convert your welcome header into an image, install vBSEO Google/Yahoo Sitemap Generator if you haven't done that already, customize the Title, Meta Description, and Meta Keywords and add h1 tag to thread name.

Just few things to get you started ;)
