    How many backlinks does it have? Why not try DP's Co-op to get more backlinks - and maybe your forum will get more pages indexed.

    stay away from automatic link exchange programs like coop and linkvault, ...
    If you can invest $150 try vbseo and you won't regret it. Also try to get as many quality backlinks as possible.

    I agree. If you use vbulletin then definately invest vbseo. It is a all in one solution if you are not able to spend weeks of your time optimizing.

    This is essential for long term success of your forum in my opinion. :)

    Good luck.

    So, you're saying Co-op doesn't help?
    vBSeo isn't promised to help you with indexed pages. vBulletin is seo'd out of the box.

    These programs actually hurt your website not help it. If not banned, they can get your site penalized for linking to irrelevent arbitrary websites.

    Backlinks will help; especially to pages other than the home page. So may a sitemap.

    i think you must create one sitemap for your forum and you must continue to build backlinks. backlinks is the key point for indexing

    Mine is up now 1 year 2 months. And its finally indexed by google.

    It took a long time. I think around the 7/8 month period is was quite a few links indexed, maybe 17000 or so.

    How many threads do you have?

    You have 800ish threads.

    Threads = pages.

    So how would one get 3000 pages indexed if one only has 800?

    Which are mostly duplicate content so it's unlikely Google is interested in them.

    I had a sitemap did'nt realy like using it having to update it all the time was doing my head in. after a while it would just not be worth using to much time and server memory.

    I am switching to a new hosting company this week so I might try vbseo or Zoints I had tryed vbseo but my hosting provider would not let me use Ioncube so it was a waste of time.
