Really? Do you use a special hack (like the one that converts threads to static HTML messages)? If not I would really like to know the secret if any.

My board has been visited by many search engine spiders (I can see them via who is online) but never get indexed by any search engines especially by google. My knowledge was that google and many search engines does not register dynamic pages and there are a lot of hints and tricks in the internet to pass their restrictions some of which does not work. There are also hacks here in vb.org for spider-friendly boards. I will be surprised if your site is indexed without any hacks..
