Hi, I just created a forum with PhpBB and i wonder how to get it indexed, is it needed in Phpbb 3.0.5 or googlebots automatically index it? Plz help!
When the bots find your forum they will index it automatically. If you haven't already submitted your forum to the search engines then it'd be wise to do so.
You can also use Google Webmaster tools to tell it to specifically ignore certain GET variables like PHPSESSID, which can help with both indexing and seeing the PR of your pages.
How to submit it to Google? I can't find anywhere how to do it How to verify PHPbb forum in google webmaster tools?
To submit to google simply use the following link and fill in the details: http://www.google.com/addurl/
Pray to the Google gods. As long as you have your forum out there and have linked to it on a few sites that are already indexed, Google will find and crawl your site regardless of what you do. In my experience, directly submitting it to them never made a difference.
