First my special thanks to you Neutral Singh,

A little question about Meta Tags,
My Downloads Forum is limited to my registered users and i SEOed that with this AWESOME mod!
should i open my forum to guests to let my Rank/Search Rank increase? or Search Engine BOTS will update their DB using logged in accounts?
