    Hi,

    Is there any Open Source forum script with Search Engine Friendly URLs?,

    I have tried SMF with SEO mod, but I need the url should have the thread title, not like "topic,16.0.html ..."

    You appear not to be using the mod or somehow using it incorrectly. A SMF forum with the SEO Mod as a URL structure like the one below:
    h ttp://www.webmasterstalks.com/general/moving-a-site-to-a-new-domain-t637.0.html

    I suggest checking your install or if still in doubt asking the question in the SMF forum.

    Yea. I can give you example from live scenario.

    http://www.110mb.com/forum used default SMF search engine friendly links. Eg "topic,16.0.html "

    For 6 straight months, google never indexed more then 3000 pages (no duplicates).

    SEO4SMF was then installed (from webmasterstalks.com) and within 3 weeks, 16,000 pages indexed in google.

    Lesson:

    SEO4SMF + SMF forum is probably the best solution you can go for.

    However I've also seen other forums using SEO4SMF, but they're hardly getting any links indexed.

    I later found that reason for that was because just like any forum, SE's won't index all pages (no matter how SEO friendly your links are) if your forum doesn't have at least a PR4+.

    You can try using phpbb with the phpbb-seo mod installed. You can download phpbb at www.phpbb.com and then download the search engine friendly mod from www.phpbb-seo.com. It's quite easy and takes very short time to install the script and the modification. You can see how the script works at www.ourktm.com/index.html .
