So you already have a forum setup or planning to setup one and are wondering the best way to optimize your phpBB forum for search engine visibility?
Although phpBB forum software is a great package that helps you run a community/message board, it lacks the necessary features to allow good search engine visibility. The URLs generated by the forum software have no meaning (from SEO point of view) and usually contain php session IDs. This makes your website vulnerable to the “Duplicate content” penalty and may also result in a ban from Google(tm) and other search engines. Also the meta tags, html source code and other essential SEO parameters that are generated by phpBB are not search engine friendly.
Does that mean phpBB is a bad software package? Not at all, phpBB is a very scalable and flexible php based software. However, the developers of the software, didn’t probably think too much from the search engine optimization angle.
But you don’t have to worry at all! We have a solution to make your phpBB board SEO friendly. We will optimize your board so that search engines can crawl your website in a much better way. They can also understand the content of the page better since we remove lot of irrelevant text out of the html code that is generated by phpBB software.
