In the site title, its called the "powered_by" phrase, change that to something besides "powered by vbulletin. This is different then the copyright at the bottom of the page. The copyright has to stay, but you can edit the "powered by vbulletin" in the site title.

Edit the meta keywords and meta description. Right now your keywords are vbulletin.

<meta name="keywords" content="vbulletin,jelsoft,forum,bbs,discussion,bulletin board" />
<meta name="description" content="This is a discussion forum powered by vBulletin. To find out about vBulletin, go to http://www.vbulletin.com/ ." />

When people go to register, your are using the standard captcha phrase. The new spam bots have broken that code. So you can expect to the flooded by spammers. Switch to either ReCaptcha or image verification - those options are built into VB.

Ok thanks :)

Ok thanks :)

Your welcome.

And change the keywords in your signature links. Right now you are telling google that your site is about "visit my site" - that does not help.

Always use targeted keywords in your signature links.
