2 seo optimization questions

1. I have noticed a lot of forums have an archive in the footer with all the pages listed (e.g. Noeman GSM) - What is the point? does it help with seo and if so, how do we implement this?

2. Any other pointers on what to add/remove from vbulletin to help with seo (the above situation being 1 example)?

Thank you

At this point, I recommend disabling the archive in it's entirety, thus no footer links either. With the sitemap, it is simply not needed any more.

there's 1000s of things you may want to do and i couldn't begin to list them all here. Have a run through our articles forum and check all the stickies in every tech forum as a first stop.
