    tutorial forum posting advice

    hello,

    I'm starting a tutorial forum and I have a lot of topics to give tutorials about so i want your advice for the best way to post it

    for example:

    Is it better to have a section for tuts and section for question?

    lets say i will make tuts about drawing programs is it better to put tuts in one thread or make different thread depending on program/tut #

    and so on..

    I need your advice from SEO side of view as well as forum management side of view

    thank you

    Each tutorial should certainly have it's own thread. For the example of drawing packages, you should post each drawing software program in a separate tutorial, each with its own thread.

    I would have that forum be ONLY tutorials.
    if you want reviews, make a new root-level reviews forum.
