    Looking for your help

    I have a website that I created PHP forums.
    I want to have the forums indexed by Google, as non are showing up.

    What do I need to do in order to make this happen?

    The site is indexed, and there is a sitemap - attached to my google account.

    thanks

    A link to your forums would help, but generally speaking it just takes time and building more incoming links.

    Off the main page there is a link to Forums.
    So my thought is the google will follow that link - but it has not happened..

    Try to get lots of quality backlinks. Any technique that can give you backlinks like forums posting, social bookmarking site, link exchanging with other related sites, blogging and etc. The more links that your site can have the better it can indexed more of your site pages.

    submit a sitemap for your forum and find backlinks as much as you can do
