• Your forum description is too short.
• Your forum keywords is too short.
• Add your site in DMOZ Directory.
• Add your site in Yahoo Directory (The free one).
• Open RSS Feeds
• I'm recommended to use the " Social Mediasphere" like del.icio.us,digg ... etc They will help you to get more traffic (Let me know if you want to know how this will make traffic).

couldnt do this setting, wasnt sure where to find it

Step 3: Disable search engines from indexing archive:

• Inside of your robots.txt, you should add the following lines to the bottom. (If you had a custom location for your archive, then please add that just like the following)
  • Disallow: /sitemap/
  • Disallow: /archive/

wheres :-
check your meta tags.

this one killed me, how do i do this :-
validate your template: [Invalid] Markup Validation of http://www.magicalproteachings.com/ - W3C Markup Validator

just didnt get this one sorry, i couldnt find the HTML Code :-
Steps to Updating Your Header Template with a H1 Tag Using the CSS Trick

• Login to your vBulletin AdminCP.
• On the left hand side of the screen, locate Styles & Templates.
• Expand the menu and click Style Manager.
• Identify the style you wish to update, and then select Edit Templates from the menu.
• A list of all templates for the style will be displayed.
• Then double click the header template to beginning editing.
• Please locate the following text in your header template
  • Note: This is the stock vBulletin template, so it may appear slightly different for you, if you modified or created a custom style.

Find:

HTML Code:
<a href="$vboptions[forumhome].php$session[sessionurl_q]"><img src="$stylevar[titleimage]" border="0" alt="$vboptions[bbtitle]" /></a>
Replace With:

HTML Code:
<div id="header"><h1><a href="$vboptions[forumhome].php$session[sessionurl_q]">$vboptions[bbtitle]</a></h1></div>

• The next step is to add some CSS code.
  • Note: Within the following code you MUST update the "background path" to *your website's logo image*.

Code:
#header h1 { margin: 0; padding: 0; }
#header h1 a {
display: block;
background: url(images/misc/vbulletin3_logo_white.gif) center left no-repeat;
width: 209px;
height: 85px;
text-indent: -9999px;
float: left;
}

Now your H1 will enclose some important text that you want to promote to the search engines. The CSS code hides that text behind the image (i.e. your logo).

The H1 should ideally only be used once on the page. So if you plan to use additional heading tags, use H2/H3 or higher. Do not use another H1 on the same page for best results.

A semantically structured page requires the H1 tag to be the first of the H tags to be displayed on the page.

The H2 and H3 tags can be used multiple times through your page (on headings, not random text). Make sure that you follow the hierarchy as follows:

H1 -> H2 -> H3 -> H4 -> H5 -> H6

Do not use them out of order, and do not skip heading levels by jumping from (for example) H1 right to H3s. In this example you have skipped the H2 that must be included to achieve a semantic (i.e. correctly) structured page.


any help on these would be great

i still cant see robot
ill think on this one too :-
http://www.magicalproteachings.com/robots.txt

Looks like you didn't have robots file so you need to make a new txt file with this name "robots.txt" and edit it with any text editor and add the rules as you want

----------------------

Yes, Add the code in the bottom of the box

----------------------
Let me explain them more :
The Description and keywords are edit from vBulletin Admincp
RSS Feeds also from admincp
DMOZ Directory : ODP - Open Directory Project
Here is Yahoo free directory : Yahoo! Directory Suggest a Site

WOW theres loads, but im getting there thanks
im now going to attempt :-
[Invalid] Markup Validation of http://www.magicalproteachings.com/ - W3C Markup Validator


so how do i know which files to edit, or better still find them??
as an example heres my 1st 3 :-

1. Line 63, Column 225: end tag for "img" omitted, but OMITTAG NO was specified …th='800' height='120' border='0'></a></center></div></td> ✉
   You may have neglected to close an element, or perhaps you meant to "self-close" an element, that is, ending it with "/>" instead of ">".
   
2. Line 63, Column 95: start tag was here …w.youtubemagic.net/" target="_blank"><img src='http://www.magicalproteachings
3. Line 106, Column 83: document type does not allow element "link" here ….css" media="screen" type="text/css"> ✉
   The element named above was found in a context where it is not allowed. This could mean that you have incorrectly nested elements -- such as a "style" element in the "body" section instead of inside "head" -- or two elements that overlap (which is not allowed).
   One common cause for this error is the use of XHTML syntax in HTML documents. Due to HTML's rules of implicitly closed elements, this error can create cascading effects. For instance, using XHTML's "self-closing" tags for "meta" and "link" in the "head" section of a HTML document may cause the parser to infer the end of the "head" section and the beginning of the "body" section (where "link" and "meta" are not allowed; hence the reported error).
   

but i mean how do you know its the header template??
as i cant see how you would know that lol
this tells me nothing Line 63, Column 225

so where, or what file am i looking into ???

i will do it all in order, but does it mean i have to keep refreshing the page often till there all done???
thanks again

what is the souce, and where is the source to be found??

i mean theres alot of files for me to search without a good solid name, or idea what im looking for

WOW that was kool, and i can edit that??
