Forum goes (moderators?),
I was just reading a message from a new person (well, newer than me :)) and seen the words "glad I found the forums". Interested by this I had a quick look at the keyword metatags you guys are using on the main forum page (www.ls1.com.au redirects straight here anyway) and they don't seem very descriptive of the forum\web site contents. In fact they have very little to do with the forum content at all (meta name="keywords" content="vbulletin,forum,bbs,discussion,jelsoft"), the description meta tag seems fine though.
That said; I'm not really that sure where google and other search engine robots pick up the result keywords from so I could well be way off the mark, but I always assumed it came from the metatags. If thats true I was wondering if you guys think it might be a good idea to change the keywords to something a little more descriptive of the forums. I did some searches using google and the forums came up as first result when searching for "ls1" in Australia, but similar searches didn't yield the forums as a result. As an example I searched for "Holden" in Australian and the forums didn't show in the results in the first five pages!
Then again you guys could be very happy with the size of the forums, but then again more members can't be a bad thing.
Just a thought, thanks!
