SEO

Hello I originally used phpbb3 but as it was in beta there wernt many mods etc and I ended up upgrading to vbulletin software as I felt it'd be a safer bet if my forum ever became large.

The forum is for University Students attending or going to Hull University. I started it at beginning of July and now have Threads: 145, Posts: 1,250, Members: 236.

I'm currently not really earning anything at all in adsense.

The website is http://hulluni.com

I already use the sitemap stuff.

It is recommended that you install vBSEO as early as possible, so that you have the SEO enhancements in place, and can avoid any time spent waiting for the search engines update your content later.

If you do plan to continue to develop and grow your forum, then you should get vBSEO.

However, I would also recommend that you do some research into general forum marketing, and find other strategies that can help your forum grow further over time.

SEO will help deliver the traffic. But it is ultimately your content and everything available at your forum that decides whether or not a high percentage of your visitors will stick around, register, and/or contribute.
