[rob01]

hello i have a question , i made a custom index website, and im using vbulletin inside a folder /forums/

but it seems google dosnt index my forums well .. since it just crawls inside the index website and not all the forum..

any idea?

thats what i did i renamed the index.php to forum.php " the one in ur forums folder" then i moved the index.php from the public html to the forums forder
then i add that in my htaccess.

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www\.)?your site.com$ [NC]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/forums/
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ "http://you site.com/forums/" [R=301,L]

You need to link to your forums on your index page. SE spiders access the links on the page, and if there are not links to your forum, it won't get there.
