SEO

player-ART success with vBSEO

I didn't know that you had a Flash page for a homepage. Would you consider getting rid of it?

If not, you need to get some of your navigation links placed underneath the Flash in text.

Hello Joe in waiting of the new template i just installed vBadvanced, this could help to improve my traffic?

thanks

Your homepage needs to have a link into your forum, outside of just within the Flash.

vBA will be useful only depending on how you set it up. In general avoid adding unnecessary modules like the calendar, etc., and use it for highlighting important *content* threads, NOT tech notices about updating the site, etc, which have almost 0 SEO value... since technical notices usually have nothing to do with your site theme.

Thanks some changes added.

After the moving server problems of the month ago i have lost more of 200,000 pages indexed in google and until today my number of pages doesn't improve yet.

To improve the traffic we are trying to use wordpress in main site.

Thanks

Did the traffic fall off as well when you lost the indexed page count?

The traffic was decreased when we have had the problem, now we have 1500/1600 visits a day and we have about 50,000 pages indexed, but there aren't the results hoped yet.

Ok - one very important thing we have to be clear on is what metric we are tracking.

For instance, greater indexing is obviously helpful. The problem is that the site: query is unreliable. The # of results it returns vary a lot, and we know that it is not accurate. My best advice for this is to use it for very general *trending*. If you see that it's shifting upwards over time, that's good. But even at times of positive growth, it may still jump around from time to time.

The absolute best metric is Web traffic. Most of the optimizations are based on trying to improve this one critical stat.

So - what are your *search* traffic trends?

Web page analysis says that in my page contains too many URLs

This web page contains 374 urls.

Some Search Engines have problems with more than 100 urls on a page.

The size of the web page is to big.

The size of the web page is 141969 bytes.

How can i fix this problems?

I would like to see you get rid of all those member links on your homepage (for guests only). Who is online, and members in last 24 hours, etc.

I have done Joe but i have always alot urls

I don't know what is the cause of so many urls on my homepage i've followed the Joe suggestion to rid of all those member links on the homepage (for guests only) but still i've always more of 300 urls on it, maybe there is someone that have had my same problem that could help me to fix it?

Thanks

The situation has been improved but always more than 100 urls this is the result:

This web page contains 166 urls.

The size of the web page.

The size of the web page is 77090 bytes.

The web page load time.

The web page load time is 1 seconds.

I've worked on sub-forums and i've consolidated some sections, removed member links on the homepage (for guests only), improved the forum title name (thanks Joe for the help), descriptions and keywords too now i hope to see more improvements in indexing and ranking too.
