Default Google not indexing all my forum
Good morning ladies and gents. Just had a quick question that I was hoping to tap your creative minds.

I have a forum with about 500 threads. The forum is 6 months old. Google only seems to have indexed about 120 of the 500 topics. Is there any way I can get it to index more?

Many thanks for any replies.

If the forum structure isn't a problem it's probably down to insufficient links/PR to warrant a deeper crawl, try "vBulletin SEO" (or whatever your forum type is) in Google and see what comes up.

This is a free tool that I have used in the past. Seems to work ok and a good place to start:

Create your Google Sitemap Online - XML Sitemaps

You can also get scripts that you can run nightly etc that would update your file dynamically.

If you're using Vbulletin there's a plugin that can do it for you

And I can't recommend VBSEO highly enough!

Is vbulletin SEO really worth 149 USD - seems a little expensive, any info on this from users of it?

I don't think it's worth it. There are plenty of free plugins available to SEO your site. VBSEO sitemaps is a free tool. There is a free rewrite plugin. Meta hacks. Page Title hacks.

Do a search for SEO on vbulletin.org and check out the many threads on vbulletin seo on this forum. There is more than enough info freely available on how to seo your site without spending your subscription money for VBSEO.

VBSEO is merely a rewrite plugin. It offers nothing else. It has a Zend optimiser which you can install freely. It comes with Sitemaps (free). A sig link extension (free)....
