google forum indexing

(1/3) > >>

RDGadz:
Awhile back, with yabbse 1.2 or something, my site was indexed on google. Every page of my forum was listed somewhere and I was getting hits from some decent keywords. I was even ranked second for keyword "gossip problems."

However my site was in frames and I thought if I got rid of the frames then it would work even better for google indexing.

To my dismay, it has been 5 months since I took my site out of frames and just recently google indexed my main forum page but will not look at anythign else.

I remember a thread awhile ago that talked about getting rid of question marks and other characters in the url would in theory index better on google.

Does anyone have a forum out there that is fully indexed on google? Or know how?

oh yeah my site is http://www.webporthole.net/forum/index.php [nofollow]

Ben_S:
It will only have indexed as far as the board index, so if you had good titled threads then you might have got a good ranking.

A few months ago my board was top of google if you searched for UEFA cup final tickets, so annoying had to make the forum register to view.

Just a sidenote, sorry for offtopic, but I couldn't resist mentioning it: As far as I know, YSE 1.2 never excisted, or at least never became public downloadable... ;)

SMF is being optimized to work well with search engines so you should have much better results with this software.
