    This is for phpbb2

    1. Optimize your page titles Page titles are one of the most important elements when ranking your page.

    2. Sitemap. Everyone needs a sitemap.

    3. Robots.txt. Blocks bots from crawling things like /admin, /includes or certain pages.

    4. Remove session ID's for guest's. Reduces ways to produce duplicate content.

    5. Static page rewrites Page rewrites are a little more complex than the previous 2 but IMO its worth the effort. Server needs mod_rewrite or asapi rewrite capability.

    I'm sure there are more tweaks you can do.
