I have had my forum up for a month.. and am just beginning to show in google index. Not very well I am afraid. I have Google SEO and the sitemap along with anylatics. Anylatics are showing massive hits for the forum, while the listing is peanuts. It seems to track me here there and everywhere and yet my pages are not indexed. Is it too soon to expect anything yet? I opened mid March. Also my keywords are good, and the speed is fast.. so what gives? I add fresh content daily and both Yahoo and Google are regular visitors on the forum.
So I don't get it.... What do you mean by not very well? Isn't it good enough that your forum is already indexed in google? CMIIW.
The forum type website need a lot more link building to help inner pages being indexed / cached faster. Just submit sitemap is not enough anyway. I would recommend you to boost up post number and content to convince Googlebots come and crawl more often for 2 weeks. It would help Googlebots know the frequently and change their crawling rate to be more often later.
I guess I should be happy then you are correct williammfelix..and I do agree with you Sxperm that I need to do more building. I am working on it and hopefully will make at least 20 new posts a day for a while. Then that should help. I don't like using scripts I prefer to have a place where people can contribute but because the forum is not yet discovered as that.. it's all me. That is okay though for the time being. I thought it was the address. Thank you
It's only been a month too? You need to relax a little and just focus on link building. Your site needs to mature before you can reach your potential. Many people start websites and forums and end up quitting right before it could of took off. One thing you need is patience. SEO is like playing chess by mail. Every move you make takes time to see the results
I would invest in adding links to your website. More links should show the Google spiders that your website is important and it should move up in search engines.
