    Hy guys. I have a little problem regarding my forum. I can see google(bot) visiting but its not indexing anythig. I've given this forum a lot of hours and i think i made evrything right, but still im not geting indexed. the adres is not banned by google i alredy cheked, i have all the meta tags set right( i think), i even changed all the urls to static, submited a sitemap with webmaster tools, and all that. ( the forum url exists for about 1.5 years and the forum has been active for like a month). google has catched my first page but not any other.
    And another problem is when i google my site the title and description show up like this:
    Index page
    yourdomain.com : A short text to describe your forum.

    Can anyone spot anythig rong with it ? ... maby in the source... or i dont know. The site is www.kidu.info.

    You will have to tell us the url... you don't expect people to guess, right?

    Do you think your site needs a little onpage SEO?

    I think you do.

    First of all, your home page has a title "index page", why you have such a title?

    secondly, why you have put words like "and", etc in your keyword tag?

    AND, is a keyword for your site? very strange

    In general it's preferred if you make the choice between using the www or the none-www version. If only the without www version of your domain is accessible, make sure the www version redirects to the none-www version. The other way around is good as well (though only if the www version is actually active).

    Other than that: get good on topic links to your forum. And as everyone has said: getting a title tag that actually has your topic in there is very important. It won't help your site get indexed, but it will get your site higher in the serps once it is indexed.

    I had the same problem before. What I did was that I bookmarked nice posts from my forum and then Google started indexing my forum pages.

    Forum or blog system automatically send a ping signal whenever a user publish a new post. Try to get more quality backlinks from related niche ( high pr ) will do the trick. A tip:

    Hehe.. You know why you can't access his site? hehe.. It is because of the URL that you have entered. There is no URL that has "./" after his URL.. Try to remove the "." and you'll see the difference.. :D
