Few queries

Hello,

I purchased Vbseo today and have seen an instance increase in Yahoo Slurps! Now I have a few queries

(1) Yahoo Slurp says it is crawling my site for links yet when I search for my site it displays the home page and the forum yet no threads. How do I get my threads indexed or is it not possible? Seems silly to me sites which have been made on geocities and are unused are higher than alot of my posts
(2) My thread format is the default meaning it goes threadid-threadtittle. Is it possible for special posts like rules to make exeptions and use just announcements, rules etc
(3)What software is best for monitering traffic? Seems im not getting into the google analytics so need a alternative, if possible free

Thanks,
Anthony
