2) Is it a good idea to put my original header links on the arichive like i did with a different Search hack indexer ( http://www.NaKazdyTemat.com/forum ) <---Like i did here. Seach engines did index these even with my original header included.
3) Is it ok for the main logo to be a link to my main forum? I noticed that alot of the demo archives in your 1st post do not link the image with the main forum. Does this matter ?

Great Job... Waiting for spiders to crawl now

1. In showthread.txt file, replace:

$post['pagetext'] , $forum['forumid'] , 0

with::

$post['pagetext'] , $forum['forumid'] , 1

2. Crawlers don't have access to those files so there is no need to add them (you did perform the first 3 steps in forums optimizations, right?).

3. I really can't answer this. I expect to see fastforward posting an answer related to this. Is controversial.
I searched many web sites for an answer. Some say is good not to have it, some say that some search engines could consider this as URL cloacking if you don't link back to the main forum page.

I really want you guys to search for issue no. 3, is hard for me to do everything... So we know for sure what is best.
Toghether we can make perfect this script. I still think is a good idea to block completly the /forum folder in robots.txt file... we will see what other experts say.

Go to:
http://searchengineforums.com/
and ask there for an answer, there are many people posting, including Google tech people.
If you find other forums, post them here so we all know about it.
