Improving Forum's SEO

[matrixr10]

I have today made a new forum and I am wondering where to go with SEO, it is on a subdomain (Forum.MYDOMAIN.co.uk)

Can anyone help with advising me on how best to get a PHPBB forum to the top of the search results

Thanks

I think there are some addons for phpbb that give you more search engine friendly URLs etc.,

Have you checked their plugin directory?

What's the topic of the forum?
Have you done any keyword research?
What categories are you going to create? Don't overpack the forum if it's a new board.

The more information you can provide us, the better the replies. You haven't given us any specifics so you're just going to get general replies which aren't as rewarding as replies which are focused on your actual board topic.

as cormac said .. it really doesn't help if you don't give more details...

For example if the subject of your site is "Killer Attack Donkeys" ... you'd probably stand a fairly decent chances of getting to number one without that much effort ... if the subject of your site is online dating forum ... well the competition is going to be a lot more difficult
