    Critque Please

    Hi all,

    My forum has been online now for 7 months and I'm not really happy with how it ranks in Google. I've had vBSEO and the sitemap plugin running since January 09.

    OzMPSclub.com

    I've done all the recommended settings as suggested on here and we still aren't appearing on Google's first page when searching for a 'Mazda MPS Forum' which is essentially what we are.

    NOTE: I recently changed the forum description from "OzMPSclub - Australia's fastest growing Mazda MPS community" to "OzMPSclub - Australia's fastest growing Mazda MPS forum" to hopefully increase our rankings.

    I also just updated my keywords and meta description yesterday.

    What do you think?
