    Can someone look at my forums and tell my why google might not be indexing my topics?

    I think if the title of the page changed to the title of the topic on the topic pages it would help a lot.

    Yes it is.
    Do a Google search on "Chemistry Tutor Forums".

    you have PHPSESSID=bf29566bcb83c83180f055efc48ff6e5&board=16.0 in your forum. Try to make it SE friendly

    What you might wanting to know is why the topics aren't ranking, but that is an entirely different ball game.

    I'm having some difficulty getting an SMF site ranked as well. Sorry about the old thread but there's not a whole lot of fresh SMF sites having this problem apparently. My non SMF sites get ranked lightning fast in comparison... Add tips if you've got them pls.

    Not enough link juice to your homepage. If you want your inner pages to carry value, they need to be backlinked as well.

    I am using a few mods to make my smf forum seo friendly, namely :::

    h1 tags
    auto keyword generator

    tweaks :::
    admin>feature & options>search engine friendly urls (check it & make sure your server uses apache or else it won't work)

    I am getting roughly 200-250 hits daily from Google & my forum is roughly 5-6 months old

    Suggestion ::: upgrade your forum as its still running on 1.1.11, the latest version is 1.1.12

    if you think your forum is SE friendly enough, i think now you need more backlink pointed to your forum
