Wrestling Realm

My Forum

It doesn't have a welcome header image but I'm having one created right now. I'm looking specifically for SEO tips and so forth, so I can get my place up into the 1st page of Google for the searches -- "Wrestling Forum" - "Wrestling Forums"

Thanks for your time.

Welcome header to an image is definitely a good idea.

Consider our relevant replacements feature.

I recommend changing your forum title. It is now:

Wrestling Realm: Wrestling Forums, Sports Forums, Graphics Forums, Women Of Wrestling Forums Forums

Don't try to be all things, or you'll get traffic from none. I'd venture so far as to say, "let your logo do your *Wrestling Realm* branding", but let your title *talk to the search engines*. Try simply:

Wrestling Forum

Do some keyword research. How easy will it be to rank for wrestling forum?

So far it seems like there are at least 9 other vBulletin powered forums competing and ranking for that term in Google.

Is that the keyword you really want to rank for? Does it have a high monthly search volume?

By shorting the title down, you can focus on optimizing on a thread by thread basis.

I'm definately looking to achieve top status for that Keyword. There is no doubt. I'm vying to become #1 in that region.

I'm looking into youtube video's that display how to do some good Keyword research, recommended by a friend. I also want to rank highly for 'MMA Forums', a high trait our forum has and a great attribute.
