    Did you know google considers your forum a 'group'?

    I didn't realize this until I did some digging:
    Google Forum Search

    For example, my site:
    Google Groups

    The above result displays pages of my site that google considers an important thread (from what I can tell).

    I had a look and my forum was not there, I tried to create a group but you cant add your own website URL. I only found Google groups on my niche with 1-3 members.

    I'm not quite sure how google determines your site as a 'group' and then puts threads into it accordingly, but I do know that since I posted this my amount of 'topics' in the 'group' have went from a little under 2k to 15k. That has to be a good sign

    It looks like it's only counting our vBulletin Blogs in this search result.
    Google Groups
    Looks like I need to build the blogs up some more
