    I launched a graphic design blog about 4 months ago, but my seo searches are extremely low when compared to my forums which was started two weeks ago.

    My forums has vBSEO 3.1.0 installed for vbulletin and so far this month has had 318 different key phrases searched for : http://www.yourdesignforums.com

    My blog had some site map issues but i recently got my site map working so i think this might have been the issue, but im not sure: http://www.youthedesigner.com

    My blog has only had 358 different key phrases searched for so far this month but its PR 5 and has been up way longer then my forums.I do not have any seo plugins installed for my blog and it could be my content writing thats the issue. I don't really try and enter specific keywords into all my posts.

    Any suggestions for improving the seo on my blog would be great, thanks!

    I would use your forum to promote your blog.

    I am going to change the calendar page which i think is useless and make it say Blog and link it to my blog.

    I would install the allseo mod, I'm using it on my blog
    Actually, I would install a few others too.. I posted it somewhere let me find it.
    hmm,, here are a few

    I thought I had posted more.. Guess I'll have to make a new blog post :D

    also.. add your blog rss feed in your dp profile like I have, that will help you out a lot!

    Thanks for the tips I think i got most of those plugins installed. I think I need to write more keyword targeted posts once in a while. Maybe like two days a week make sure to write posts that target specific topics people search for.

    Content and links. There are many different things that could be the issue.
