    What About A Member's Forum Not Visable To Public

    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.

    Richard

    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?
