1) Meta tags do virtually nothing for you. 2) You have not told us what you did, I see no meta tags on your site. 3) There is nothing to index. 4) There is nothing to index. 5) There is nothing to index. You need to create a real forum with content first. _________________ Family Friendly Shareware \| \| Web Design/Services \| Free Forums

content is posts. If you have no posts, google will assume the site is pointless and not index it. Why go to an empty forum?

Google is basically chicken and egg, you need the content before you get indexed, of course it is harder to get the members to help with that until you are well indexed. But really most forum members won't be found via google unless you get to be one of the elite lucky few. _________________ Family Friendly Shareware \| \| Web Design/Services \| Free Forums
