    Pretty much all vB stuff, and a couple member names.

    Any thoughts on this?

    I guess that this just highlights the issue of keyword density within vBulletin powered forums, with all these often irrelevant terms such as "search", "threads", "reply", "tools" all over thread pages in particular they are diminishing the weight of the more important keywords which you want to rank highly for.

    I mean take a look at my website for instance. The homepage, The Staff Lounge - Your vBulletin Resource contains only 8 two word phrases, which are all ones which i want to rank highly for;
    staff lounge 13 3.81%
    resource 7 2.05%
    vbulletin resources 4 1.17%
    vbulletin news
    3 0.88%
    vbulletin support 2 0.59%

    However, when examining the keyword desnity of two word phrases, on my forums index page; The Staff Lounge - Your vBulletin Resource they are infact 65. Almost a 100% increase, and even still those phrases predominantly featured on this page are completely irrelevant or keywords which i don't want to rank for;

    threads by 16 2.16%
    staff lounge 15 2.03%
    vbulletin resource 9 1.22%
    type text
    8 1.08%
    rel stylesheet
    6 0.81%
    Now, i know this isnt representative of vBulletin forums as a whole especially as at the moment by vBulletin forum is severly un-optimized for appropriate keywords - but still - shocking eh?!

    Although, from what i can remember Rob ascertained the rights to the template. Although his satire is sometimes so subtle i can never tell the difference between his humour and truth!
