SEO on forum

[macy]

I run a forum but I don't do much on SEO. I just visit regularly at TAZ (http://wwwtheadminzone.com) and it helped me a lot. Especially their exchange group. Any other ways to market your forum aside from contest?

I would suggest getting quality links linking to your forum website, getting links from PR6+ will surely get you indexed into google and also give you a PR1+, buy more and your PR will increase and so will your SERPs. Marketing a forum is all about advertising at the start, then you do SEO on it

This is my opinion anyway, just my 2 cents :P.

Some forum softwares have actually a mod for SEO just like smf. You can use it as it would be easy for you.

You can buy a SEO Mod if you are using vbulletin. I think SEO mod is available for all forums now (Like IPB, SMF, PhpBB etc). Its great because it generates search engine friendly URLs.

How about Mybb? Is there a mod for that? Hope there is as I will make a mybb forum.

I am a member of TAZ.... I used to be a moderator their but lost that privilage as I was not able to visit often.... That is a great community.

paid posters
that is a good way to get new members
and a good way to promote your website/forum

Yes, you can basically get Vbulletin SEO.

It mainly does URL mod apache re-write, and makes search engine friendly urls.

VB SEO says it does other stuff, but im not sure what.
