Tips on How to Optimize a Forum
-
Hi, I am looking for some good tips and tricks on how to get the most of a vBulletin Forum, we already got vbseo.com which works quite nice for text/titles and many other stuff, but it would be great to know some insights on optimizing this kind of forums or any other forum.
thanks!

Is there any equivalent SEO add-on for phpBB3 that people here have used and liked? A quick search shows quite a few out there, some with extremely complex installation instructions, so it'd be great to learn what you guys out there have found to work.

Hi Alan, very useful resources indeed, so far some of my favorite tips from there are:
-
Creating extra html pages
-
Restricting the non valuable PHP files
-
And improving page speed
Thanks for your answer.

Andrés,
VBSEO is the right start. I also suggest you spend some time over at the vBulletin setup forum reading through their SEO threads http://www.vbulletinsetup.com/470-search-engine-optimization/.

Optimize code
Hi Guy's, In Wordpress we've got the plugin "WP Rocket". It's possible to optimize CSS, JS, HTML and Google Fonts. If i optimize (minify) CSS and JS the website will load faster and the pagespeed will be reduced. So i guess that's always better for SEO results en SERPS... But what will happen if i optimize my HTML code? It will be much shorter but less organized. Will this also affect SEO results and rankings? I'm awear that less code will increase my text ratio, but don't know if Google will punish the website for having a code that's not very good organized. Thanks!

Page Over-optimized?
I read over this post on the blog tonight: http://www.seomoz.org/blog/lessons-learned-by-an-over-optimizer-14730 & it's got me concerned that I might be having a similar issue on our site? Back in March & April of last year, we ranked fairly well for a number of long tail keywords, here is one in particular 'Mio Drink' for this page: http://www.discountqueens.com/free-mio-drink-from-kraft-facebook-offer The page is still indexed, but appears back on page #3 for the search term. During this time we had made a number of different updates to our site & I can't seem to put an exact finger on what might have caused the problem? Can anyone see any issues that might have caused this to drop? Thanks, BJ
