What About A Member's Forum Not Visable To Public

[Hollywood]

Is there anything that can be done with a Member's Forum that is not visable to the public. I have about 4000 threads and 16,000 posts.

Any suggestions? Or am I out of luck?

Thank you.

If its all set to private then vBSEO would not be good for you.

Is it a subscription model? Are you doing well?

You absolutely have to open up at least a portion of your content to take advantage of organic search traffic.

Joe,

No it is simply a non-paying support forum I use as a bonus with our program.

Any suggestions on how to open up a "portion" of the forums for Google?

Also do you know of software that can bring the latest Thread subjects to the home page...such as the last 6 Threads?

Thanks,
Dick

If it is non-paid support, why not simply open the entire forum up to guests/search engines? Traffic landing on the site because of opening it up, might end up becoming customers for your program.

Check out vBulletin.org for plugins. I assume you are probably running vBAdvanced?
