    Please review my site www.chattennis.com. I need to optimize it as much as possible, so any optimization tips would be nice.

    Thanks

    my advice will be to rewrite your urls so they don't have "?" and to place some keywords in your footer

    Look for PHPBB mod_rewrite URL rewriting components to turn

    http://www.chattennis.com/viewforum.php?f=6 into http://www.chattennis.com/Tennis-Strategy/

    Same for your individual topics.

    Look for a plain-text / index solution so that your threads are spat out in plain text form, the SEs will love that.

    Also, vary your sig links so that instead of always linking to the main domain you're actually linking (with appropriate anchor text) to deeper pages within your site.

    I already have the Able2know mod. I couldn't fully install it because I'm using a different style, and I'm not that good with php right now.

    To be honest, I would recommend SMF because the MODs are much easier to install, they're much more powerful AND you get ALOT less spam (I get none with the default captcha) because bots automatically target PHPBB boars because they're the most commonly used.

    I would never go back to PHPBB now..... just an honest recommendation.

    I can install SMF, transfer all your data & make your URLS search engine friendly (SEF) if you like. PM me for more details.

    check my SIG..i can analyse your site and send a report for DP special price of $10.

    Btw. phpbb makes me shiver...if you have an eye on SEO:

    VB + VBSEO plugin :)

    Just the thought of all the "by hand" modification for PHPBB and SEO makes me cringe....
