Why isn't google indexing threads in my static forum?

    Hi all,
    I installed a static version of my forum, in addition to my dynamic one, for better SEO. But so far, google has only indexed the forum index page and the category pages, but not the posts themselves.

    For example, google has indexed these:

    http://www.happierabroad.com/forum/archive/index.php (the static version of the
    forum index)

    http://www.happierabroad.com/forum/archive/paranormal-phenomena-conspiracies-mysteries-14/
    (the static version of a category page)

    But not the threads themselves, such as this:

    http://www.happierabroad.com/forum/archive/conspiracy-theory-with-jesse-ventura-new-season-8828.htm

    Yet the threads and posts are what need to be indexed the most to spread our
    presence on the web and bring in the most traffic. Why isn't google indexing the
    threads in the static pages? Is it because google considers them to be duplicate
    content and so won't index them? If so, should I try to find a way to set the
    metatags of the dynamic php version of the forum to "nofollow"?

    What do you think?

    I think you should wait for it. Some times Google takes time try to book mark some of your post threads.

    Thanks, but since the static archive posts are a mirror of the dynamic forum posts, wouldn't that incur some kind of penalty from google?

    Try adding a sitemap XML file and registering it with Google Webmaster Tools, then in options increase the spidering speed to maximum.
