Question SEO concern: have I set this properly?

As I mentioned earlier, there are many topics in this forum relating to people's concerns about how to add extra META information . I don't believe it's possible.
For those who put their faith and confidence in 3rd-party SEO tools, I think the jury is split 20% in favour of those who think they're useful and 80% who think they're more trouble than Little Bo Peep had trying to manage her sheep. But, again, that's just my personal opinion.

I am still unsure what you mean by having the forum "indexed". As I mentioned before, this seems off-topic to the original question which is about whether you have set things up properly.willtrd wrote: i would prefer to have the forum indexed because it would help seo due to a lot of content posted regularly so if there is a way i can achieve that without any negative impact i would prefer that.
As I also mentioned earlier, we have had many discussions about this subject. Again could be wrong but, as far as I know, there is no means to add metadata and "keywords" to Kunena. The page descriptions used by the big search engines (e.g. Bing, Google) are automatically extracted when your website is crawled. As an example of this, why not try searching Google now for this topic (e.g. www.google.com.au/#q=kunena+forum+seo+co...is+properly&safe=off ) and look at the number one result from that search.willtrd wrote: i have tried to go into the joomla menu's (forum, index, recent topics etc....) and add in the meta data & keywords but they do not show up in my page source so apparently it is not working for some reason?

What may be more useful, instead of trying to analyse your site, is for you to look at the pages here on this site (
www.kunena.org
) and see how things are done here. As far as we are aware, there is no penalisng effect from Google on this site as far as what they index in their search engine.
You can see the effect of what Google does with the pages on this site (and the ranking of th domain) if you search Google for this topic (as I showed in msg #7 of this topic). I cannot be certain that your site will be treated in the same way as this site is concerned but I can assure you that we are using "vanilla-flavoured" Joomla SEO to achieve the results.

We do not do anything special here. We do not attempt to add "meta information" to Joomla menus.
There is no company behind Kunena; everyone who contributes to Kunena is a hobbyist, enthusiast or professional web developer who gives their time freely to this project - volunteers every one of us. Our hope is to make Kunena the most reliable, scalable, durable and robust forum component for Joomla that we can make it and to give people the best solution to meeting their forum needs. The forum is a self-help community-driven resource for users to help one another. Our job, in moderating the forum, is not necessarily to answer every question but, rather, to point people in the right direction where they can find the answers.
What would be ideal is for someone who has true skill—instead of rank amateurs like me—to come forward and volunteer to work with the team to resolve all of these issues. The problem is that the Kunena team is small and hugely overworked; I'm busy, you're busy, we're all busy. I'm sorry that I may not be able to help you better.

No offence taken. I was only stating a few simple facts.willtrd wrote: i didn't mean anything negative or that you were not using with good intensions.

I don't spend much time following the commentary and I don't know beans about "other" forums. :lol:willtrd wrote: i have heard a lot about forums doing this.
How would you like me to do that? As I have mentioned several times in this topic, a few people have complained about the lack of means to enter meta information (and have it "take root") as far as Kunena is concerned. I think you will agree that there's been much complaining (perhaps with the expectation that the Kunena team will consider this a top priority) but not much movement. The Kunena team is currently focused on developing K 3.1—overhauling the look and feel of Kunena—but there are no current plans to extend current functionality in the SEO arena.willtrd wrote: could you please address the meta information in the kuena menus?
