    Guys Im running a vbulltin 3.7.4 version board. I checked the links and it is not getting indexed. Is there a setting to make it visible to search engines?

    As long as you have links to your forum and your forum is viewable by guests it should get indexed just fine.

    Well I found it is getting indexed a bit. 79,401 posts however only 27 are indexed. I think Im going to create an RSS feed and submit it around. By the way its not the forum in my sig.

    Your forum isn't going to be indexed any faster than any other site... if you have 79,000 pages of content, but very few links to the content, Google isn't going to think it's that important.

    A sitemap is nice, but Shawn is right, you need more backlinks to the site, and deep links while you're at it.
