what else to do ?

Hi all, i'm just in the process of setting up some new php coding forums, and would like to know what i could do to improve the onsite seo for them

the are located at PHP Coding Forums

I would like to see some permanent, keyword rich, introductory text on your forum homepage. Otherwise, the search engines are always going to find the keywords at the top of the page changing do to the top 5 most recent threads.

Changing of data is common on all vBulletin forums. But it would be nice to have some permanent text at the top that contain keywords related to your niche, that you can be competitive for. It will take some keyword research to figure out what these are.

I think you could get a way with adding PHP into some of your forum names to get it into your URL. However, this is optional since you have a great domain with "php" already in it.

So just keep your keywords in mind when you name and add descriptions for your forums. Also keep in mind that you can use our slugs feature to provide alternative *forum name parts* in your URLs, instead of just using the default forum name.

Thank you very much Joe, i'll look into that straight away.

Forum is loading very slow for me.

Forum speed seems fine here. Good clean look that you have. All though that Latest X Threads hack looks familiar

Thanks for the comments guys, the lastest x threads hack - not sure if i'll keep it or not, the idea is to attempt to get some of the guests to start looking at content if possible.

Slowness is relitive, but been a systems administrator - i am going to try and speed up vbulliten by putting in a postpend file and redirect all image / js / css requests to a "Static" server, that'll improve the load times greatly (it did at work!).

thanks for the comments - and if any has anymore, i am more then willing to listern

Thanks - justin.
