There is an EXCELLENT thread found here:

http://forum.time2dine.co.nz/showthread.php?t=98

It is focused around optimizing vBulletin 3.0.7 for search engines and gets into a lot of the detail regarding why the changes need to be made.

I've done most of the modifications from that URL and they seem to be working pretty well. I'm just waiting for all of my 301 redirects to take hold from my old forums URL to my new main URL.

In terms of search engine exposure, I also use LinkVault to provide static text links. After adding the link-vault code to my web site and displaying 5 text ads at the bottom of all my pages I've gained about 800 inbound links in the past month. That certainly will help your Google PR and get them indexing your site more frequently.
