I am also a SEO noob, but I managed to install some SEO features on my fourm. http://www.thecollegeforum.org I have only 2 pages indexed in Google and hit the #6 spot when I search "the college forum" (pretty good for first time ever building a website, and it being ~7 days old and blank) and I think there might be a problem with the SEO. Please suggest anything that will improve my SEO!
You should remove the word "Home" from the title of your page, and you don't have any content on the landing page that's very bad for seo, you should add some content asap. If you are ranked 6th for a search term I am almost certain that it's not a competitive search term because your site is new and you do not have any backlinks as yet.
currently only 7 pages has been indexed in google. Most of pages title is same with other. If possible than use unique title and description for each page. Make proper keyword research and create appropriate title, meta description and meta keywords for each page.
