Customizing SMF > Building Your Community and other Forum Advice
Forum SEO is a myth
Illori:
maybe the issue is that people that use smf dont have forums on those topics, we have no control over that
but if you look at http://www.google.com/search?client=opera&rls=en&q=chevy+avalance+forum&sourceid=opera&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8#hl=en&safe=off&client=opera&hs=gQY&rls=en&sa=X&ei=LqXWTpmKKufn0QHZqoX2AQ&ved=0CCMQvwUoAQ&q=chevy+avalanche+forum&spell=1&bav=on.2,or.r_gc.r_pw.,cf.osb&fp=19fe89c48a8fd3e4&biw=974&bih=905 you will find an smf forum on the first page
K@:
As the software isn't required to show that it IS SMF, how would anyone know, anyway?
When people search for a pet forum, they don't give a ****** what it's powered by.
People who want forum software will search "Forum software".
Try searching "Forum software". ;)
OK, we're not top, but we ARE on the first page.

I am sorry but we are NOT on the first page for "forum software". Reset your browser and try it.
When I search for "forum software", simplemachines.org is on the second page.
Illori:
and your point? smf is a forum software we are not creating something for everyone to use just so they can get on page 1 in google, we are creating something for people to use as they wish. we dont tell them how to use their forum nor should we. if you think another forum software is better for your needs then use it, we are not stopping you.
