Can you visit my forum site (www.discussionon.com) and write something in site so i will get some posts and then user will be come by search engines? Please give your review and comments on this. I am allowing user to give signatures from first post. Tell me whether it will attract users or not.
The design looks a bit generic, you should get a logo and add some graphics into the header to make the site look more unique. A backlink from your site will not have very much seo benefits at this time so this may not attract as many users as you would like. You should do some linkbuilding to build up your online presence and increase your organic search engine traffic.
You should customize the site by chossing an interesting theme. Also a logo and some other graphics would be nice.
I like the theme but you really need some graphics, specially the logo and some nice icons for the threads good luck
Looks like the signature links are dofollow as well. Try to change on the design and having customized skin. The one which you are using seems to be the generic SMF theme.
