Developing a forum domain?

SageMother · 05-02-2007, 03:49 PM

The forum I want to develop will be part of my website. would it be better to give it its own sub domain instead of it being just a page?

Both my forums are integrated as part of the site in the menues. You can access them from every page. The idea is to have crossover traffic.

I was at a site where they had the main menu on the front. Then you can access the forum from clicking from the left side of the page straight to the forum.

Is this true? I am about to make a couple of forum sites and I really need to know. Also how will it hurt SEO?

What if you branch it off the main site with /forum.

Thanks

There is actually a tool called vBseo to boost your seo quality for VB sites.

Thanks for the feedback.

I also just took a look at your sporttarot site. Is that one you are selling? I just wondered because you do not have your "rn" at the front of it.

I put up a forum using phpBB version 2 on http://badkungfu.net

I was getting so much spam I just locked all the threads!
