Hi guys

I've been working hard on the structure of my forum since it was created in July:

http://www.RenaultForums.co.uk

I've recently installed vBSEO and vBSEO SiteMap which has helped my rankings on Yahoo! tremendously. Unfortunately, we get next to no hits in Google and practically no page rank

Things I've got in my to do list:

o Reciprocal linking arrangements
o Content creation (articles which we might even pay for)
o Reduce the number of forums in our Knowledge Base

I'd appreciate any advice that I receive

Thanks again for a great product!

Cheers!

Uhm. One thing I have noticed tonight. I entered RenaultForums.co.uk rather than renaultforums.co.uk in the vBulletin AdminCP. I've just run the link analyzer at SEOChat and it considered all my links to be external! I presume this does not help with crawling?

Hello Mike,

you have a very nice forums style and I like your URL formats - [forum_title]/[forum_id]/ works great when you have the same subforums list for every car model.

Although it should not be a problem for SE crawlers, it's better to modify your vB URL in admincp to have lowercase domain name.
