We only have 2600 pages indexed in google, We have way more in yahoo but we gotta pick this up a lot i know this is generally frowned upon, to change your link structure and that they, but in the 7 forums i have managed, this has always lead to higher traffic and increased rankings. so this can be like a case study for all of us 1/6/07 Google --- 2,610 pages for http://www.adminfusion.com. Yahoo --- 20,900 for http :// www . adminfusion . com I'll update this once a month and we'll see how it goes. I estimate for us to see an increase in anything will be about 1.5-2.5 months  | ||||

| I never noticed the url titles before. Sounds good to me as long as my bookmarks will still work  | ||||

| Good idea altho you might want to do, forum_title - forum_id, and thread_title-thread_id to get the keywords a little closer to the root. I use the option #6 is the url presets, this is forum_id, which allows me to tweak the forum name and not disrupt the indexed pages, and thread_title-thread_id to get a few keywords in the url. good luck with it all  | ||||

| Whatever works is fine with me. Hopefully this won't hurt what little SE traffic we already get.
