I am having some terrible results with one of my sites so I need to change some things up. It is odd. The two sites I never work on get crawled like crazy and pages indexed like crazy. However my baby, my chemistry forums....nope nothing....the backlink tracker here says I have hardly any pages....i have many pages on the main page and many posts in my forums so i was thinking of taking forums.mychemistrytutor.com and putting it in the folder mychemistrytutor.com/forums what do you think?
I would leave it as subdomain and try to make more seo friendly. I see your meta title is also your description. Use sef urls. If at all possible. Just my opinion. From what I've read SMF is not good for SE's, but I've never used it myself.
I posted a similar thread a while ago. You can check people's replies there if you want. http://forums.digitalpoint.com/showthread.php?t=259719
