    Please go through this list of recommendations:
    Your Site Review - Stuff to Do First

    Make sure you implement the tip to get rid of your site title from the *page* title of every thread, etc:
    [How To] Remove Forum Title from Thread Pages for Long Tail Optimization / Increased Thread Title Relevancy

    You should definitely check out our Relevant Replacements feature:
    [How to] Setup Relevant Replacements with vBSEO

    I recommend blocking your member profile pages via robots.txt for now at least to see if you can encourage greater indexing of the rest of your site.

    I would use our option to replace showpost links with Permalinks.

    Are you running our sitemap?

    Try the relevant replacements. I think your particular template will benefit a lot by using them. The heavier the template, the greater the impact.
