Hi,
To maximize search engine exposure, please consider adding the following meta tags to the templates:
Message pages or threads:
<META NAME="robots" content="INDEX,FOLLOW">
Forum and Message Indexes:
<META NAME="robots" content="NOINDEX,FOLLOW">
All other pages:
<META NAME="robots" content="NOINDEX,NOFOLLOW">
The above will ensure that spiders do not index pages that don't contain important data, or that is too volatile. For example, I would hate to see all my users on Google, but few of the messages. Even worst, the message indexes are indexed, but when the users visit, the data is not on that page anymore.
Best regards.
Frank

Search strategies differ from site to site. What works for you may not work for other people, therefor I'd rather leave this for each forum owner to decide for themselves.

Yes, you can embed a php script or code inside the forum header that will be used to determine which META tag to send.
