just a question :)

hi,

What would happen if i disabled my "Archive" on my forum please?

would i lose my spot on google, go down the ranks?

whats the down sides to this please.

the home page name of my forum makes my site go out the page, i just thought because im running seo Google/Yahoo Sitemap the site would be getting indexed anyway true?

Have you been able to verify how much traffic you actually get from your archive pages?

I personally prefer not using the archive. vBSEO in combination with our sitemap is a more powerful option.

However, you will want to verify your current level of incoming traffic that goes directly to your archive pages before making your final decision.

Hi Joe Ward, thanks for your reply.

Is there away i can find out how much incoming traffic that goes directly to my archive pages please?

thx:

Do you use Google Analytics or another statistics package?

You should be able to see your most traffic pages. You can scan the list and determine if the archived pages are playing a significant role in your incoming hits.

no i dont sorry but i will look into this thanks for your help
