hi
i'm going to be installing phpbb 3 soon. i know that vBulletin is the best for seo because it has the seo plugin you can purchase. i don't want to spend money on vBulletin so i'll be using phpbb 3.
i need help with seo and phpbb 3. Are there any good plugins? what's the best way to optimize the search engine ranking?
15 frih to the person who helps me the most
thanks

An SEO plugin is only the last 5% of your search engine ranking.

The other 95% you'll get through content and being linked to. So thats what you should do, get loads of users writing for you AND get loads of pages linking to you.

Optimizing your markup and optimizing robots.txt file (which phpbb3 btw already has) is insignificant. phpbb3 is fine for SEO, without any plugins optimization. Promise Razz

PS: Dont send me frh$
PPS: Some people will recommend adding META data...don't - its not worth your effort as google and most other major search engines don't even read it.

If you are looking for a plugin (or mod), you may want to wait, because phpBB3 was just released and most of its current mods won't work.
