my forum, http://www.historum.com, has over 10,000 posts and hardly NONE of them are indexed in google. I have 0 search engine traffic to my site. I need some help pleasee!! I only have 400 or so indexed pages in google, some look like this http://www.google.com/search?q=+site:www.historum.com+historum.com&hl=en&lr=&start=0&sa=N&filter=0 and some look like this http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&lr=&q=post+a+youtube+video+in+your+topic It seems like 90% of my indexed pages are from the photo gallery and directory and not the threads/topics of my forum! What are I doing wrong? What can I do? If you go to my site. Click General History, then click Old as Dirt ... you will see search engine friendly URLs at the top. But sometimes they f up? I should be getting tons of seo traffic with 10000 posts
I think you have long session ID's at the end of every URL.... Try disabling that, these sid's just slows down the crawling of the website.... Use this tool to check out how search engine will crawl your website. http://www.webconfs.com/search-engine-spider-simulator.php
