    Stats on forum home... Good for SEO or not?

    Hello,

    I currently have advanced statistics on my forum home.

    WoW Hacks, Cheats, Bots

    I am really not sure if I should disable them for guests. The Links to the forums are more valuable than links to member profiles with high post count... What do you think?

    They're nofollowed, so I don't think it'll matter and really just personal preference. It's likely a bit better for SEO to not have so many unrelated keywords (member names) on your pages but it's trivial and should come down to what you think looks the best.
    Submit you're vBSEO'd forum to these quality web directories: Azook, a Paid Directory, Linkature Directory, Free Website Directory, and GoGlance.

    I definitely recommend removing them for guests.
