    My forum is not indexed in google but the main site is indexed. I have added the main site to google, i believe thats why it's listed. However, my forums is not listed in google as I havn't added to their engine. I read somewhere that adding 2 URLs of your site to google is bad? or not permited?

    Is the forum considered a different website? or the same? Can I add it to the google because it has a different URL?

    Hi,

    It can take a few months for anything els to be added onto google, Google just put the main page on there and they check the links alot to make sure there still active, after like 2-3months and the links are still active it will then add other things like your forum etc.....

    You will just have to wait.

    Do you have a robot.txt ??

    Can you give the url so that we can help you better. Its not a problem having two sites but having the same content is a problem. Google might penalize one of your site for having the same content. If your forum has a robots="nofollow"that will stop robots from crawling your site. How old is the site?

    You may try to build a sitemap to help google crawling your site.
