I've been watching my forum Google results closely as I have just restarted my forum after a long break. The individual forums themselves, the FAQ and all the useless stuff seems to index fine but my posts are not being indexed at all. I can't seem to work out why either.
I have vBSEO 3.3 installed and the latest version of the vBSEO Sitemap Generator which pings all the search engines successfully once a day. Yet, I still see no threads or posts popping up in Google.
I recently just added a robots.txt file to my site to try and cut down the crap that was getting indexed which is shown below:
but surely none of those should adversely effect the search engines indexing my site? I'm just trying to work it out really. Any help is appreciatedUser-agent: *
