    Homepage is indicized, discussions are not

    Hi all,
    I'm having a big problem since a couple of days. Until last week many of my forum's discussions were on the first places on google related searches, since a 3 days they have disappeared. What is the impression now is that the home page of the forum is well indicized while the posts and the discussion are not.

    What could that be due to?

    I used the script to convert phpBB links to vbulletin ones and I moved my forum from phpBB to vBulletin 3 weeks ago.

    Any help is greatly appreciated.

    Thank you.

    Yes, give it time. You're still under-going the re-indexing process. It can take 4-6 weeks for most sites.

    The fact is that everything was fine until 4 days ago, everything was on google, older and newer (eg after moving to vbulletin) posts. Suddenly everything disappeared and visits dropped...

    How would you explain that?

    Google changes its SERP indexes CONTSTANTLY. You just changed software and ALL urls. A drop is expected. It will take time to recover.

    Yes, the first 3-6 weeks is usaully when it happens. Just give it time. The hit now will pay off in the long run.

    There is only the NEW url to those threads, so they never need to be dropped out and replaced. Again, normal.
