I currently have a forum which opens at www.globalgoldtalk.com I want to add a website to the forum and have an index page where users will be able to select to either visit the forum or the site. I am not sure what is the best way of doing this. I am planning to add and index php with a link to the subfolder where the site will be and a link to the current forum index.php which is in the root. Will the site be penalized by the search engine for doing this? Do you have an idea what is a better way of achieving this? Thanks
The site should not be penalized as long as you set up proper php redirects. Also, doesn't vBulletin have the capability of creating a 'home' page?
