Small search engine optimisation

[admin (no pm's please)]

Codyt07 has pointed out that the number of "links" on the index page is not great for search engines.

This has been dealt with by making guests (e.g. search engine bots) not see member profile links on the index page or the forum pages. This should make some bots at least get that little bit deeper into indexing the forums.

No action is required.

But it has always been a good policy to promote key topics.

Also heres what google says.
"Offer a site map to your users with links that point to the important parts of your site. If the site map is larger than 100 or so links, you may want to break the site map into separate pages."

A site map?

A site map is usually the links to different pages of a site. My news site for my clan can be shown as a great example.
