    You may need to consider other revising elements of internal optimization, rather than just using plug-ins.

    If your forums are not optimized properly for important factors of internal SEO, then it will be harder to get desirable results when posting backs.

    - You may also need to reconsider how you are optimizing your website externally.

    I would be happy to take a look at your website and evaluate it for important factors SEO, as well as check for hidden problems.

    What is the URL to the forums that you are requesting SEO help with?

    Your website and forums seem to be optimized fairly well for important factors of internal SEO.

    I did notice that these forums have meta tags that are empty, as posted below.


    To better optimize your website, you should add a few keywords in the keywords meta tag and a very short description about your website in the meta description tag.

    If used properly, meta tags will help increase relevancy and improve the way your forums are currently optimized internally.

    Another concern that I have in regards to the forums is how you are posting back links to your website from other websites.

    You are currenly using    : YourDomain.com/Forums/index.php when you link back to your website.

    You should post back links to your website without the index.php

    - I noticed that the homepage of the forums still has a PR0, but the rest of the main area's of your website has a PR2.

    To help improve keyword performance, you may also want to consider posting back links to the forums from link directory websites that offer relevant category options.

    Also Remember:     When posting back links to your website and forums, do not always post back links to the homepage and/or main page.
    (It is always a good idea to post back links to other important pages within the site.    )

    I hope this helps.....

    If you have any questions, concerns, and/or comments, please feel free to post them.

    Kind Regards,
