Question How to associate kunena forum with google?

hi all,

i am really not sure if "associate" is the right word, but here is my question- how can I associate my kunena forum with google, so that it can finds topics that are in the forum itself, not only the joomla site articles, as now, when i type my site's name in google search it finds all the articles from the joomla site itself, but nothing from the forum- nothing at all. cheers

Perhaps one of these topics may help:

• Google not indexing any forum pages or threads ;
• [Resolved] After upgrading my forum Google can not find me ; or
• How to search forum using google

I'm STILL having this problem. Not my developer, the guys here or anyone else can wrap their minds around it. I'm still stuck with Google NOT indexing my threads and it's NOT a Google or Joomla problem.

blacktino79: I looked at your website (you are running K 1.7.1). Have you thought about upgrading to K 1.7.2?

I think we've asked you before to post your configuration report. I can't find a copy of it anywhere on this forum. Would you like to help us out and post it here, please?

Perhaps there is a member of the Kunena community who does not have this issue with Google who may be able to help you solve your problem. For example, the pages on this website are nicely indexed in Google (aren't they?) and, I might add, there's nothing particularly "special" about the way that this site is setup.

For the record, I also do not have this problem. Google indexes all our Kunena forum pages just fine. We also don't do anything special to make that work, it just does.

Hi. Do you mean this? (Configuration Report)
