Forum Name

[Wulf]

Is it any use of including keywords in the Forum name? I currently have it set as:
SaabWorld Forums - Saab forum, blog, media, news (9-3, 9-4, 9-5, 900, 9000)

Is this better than having just SaabWorld or SaabWorld Forums?

SaabWorld Forums - Saab forum, blog, media, news (9-3, 9-4, 9-5, 900, 9000)

I assume you mean the board title, not a 'forum's' name.

I always suggest being concise. Keyword stuffing simply doesn't work and it looks un-professional.

I would suggest something like
"SaabWorld - Saab enthusiast forum"
or something simple like that.

all the blog/9-3/etc keywords are on page and will pick up anyway. TITLE that page appropriately.

It's called Forum Name in the vB settings so that's why I used that term. I still think having to these keywords in there shows the site is more than just a forum. Especially when it pulls in the title on vbSEO enabled sites.
SaabWorld - Saab forum, media, blog, news, archive - Home

I thought it rather looked unprofessional with the 9-3, 9-5 in the title as well but wasn't sure if that would make a difference.

I also noticed when posting a link to an individual board, it only shows the board name in the title. Instead of "Saab 9-3", it would look nicer if it would show "SaabWorld - Saab 9-3 forum". Is it possible to set it up like that?
