None of those results you posted are threads though and as an outsider, if I search for something and then have to click through various threads before I find what I'm looking for, I get annoyed.

And there are less than 20,000 results for each meaning that they are highly UNCOMPETITIVE keywords. My bet is if someone wrote a quality thread/article for each of those keywords that they would outrank you.

As forum owners, we should be able to line up thread after thread after thread where we say, "Look, this is quality content." And I just don't think most can do that, me included.

Cool, thanks My tone is meant to be helpful/evangelical I'm passionate about forums to the point of it probably being unhealthy. And I think a lot of us have forgotten the basics. We've gotten so caught up on SEO and fancy mods and styles. Let me use an analogy. Would you regularly go to someone's house that is easy to find and looks great if you knew that when you and the people in the house sat down together, you'd just stare at each other and once in awhile say, "Sup dude?"
