    I use MyBB forum. I have installed some seo plugins and 2 days after I created it, Google crawl my forum site almost hourly. There are some visitor come via search engine because they found my forum on search engine. MyBB is best forum with so many plugins for SEO. The best seo plugins -> Google SEO

    I echo superrocket's question – how is BBPress out-of-the-box for SEO?

    I have used SMF before and that was pretty easy to set up and manage although I don't know how it was for Seo.

    But this time round decided to try BBPress as it's more WordPress friendly and I can easily put the top posts in the sidebar etc. And I believe it's more Seo friendly.

    But reading this thread I'm wondering if maybe I should go back to using SMF.

    Any thoughts, anyone?

    I would say go for the one that has user friendly UI and you are comfortable with.

    SEO isn't much an issue as majority of the forums have mods for them.
