3. For keywords is there a place where i can write blacklisted keywords ? or common words wich should not be in keywords ?

4. Robots.txt file how should look to be everything indexed and only amdins part or anything important to not be indexed. I have one but is only for joomla where phpbb3 is integrated :

1) Keeping both is not a problem.

2) In viewtopic.php, replace :
Code: Select all
page_header($topic_data['topic_title'] . ' : ' .  $topic_data['forum_name'] . $extra_title);

with :
Code: Select all
page_header($topic_data['topic_title'] . $extra_title);


3) Yes, the search_ignore_words.php in each of your language pack. Please read this thread as well (the code for Fulltext native indexing is installed use in the SEO Premod) : [ToolKit] Search table and meta keyword optimization

4) The phpBB part of the robots.txt should look as the robots.txt provided in the premod's package, in the contrib/ directory. Please note that you should NOT implement it if your forum is currently indexed with the natural urls, in such case, you need to wait at least two month after you activated the zero duplicate to do it.

5) So far, gym sitemaps only comes with prosilver templates, it's up to you to adapt them to other themes. For the xml files, you can just keep the default styling (prosilver like) or deactivate styling since it's not required. Next version will come with subsilver2 templates, but you'll still need to adapt them to any other theme you could be using.

You need that Forum title to be on all pages ?

see step 2 for topic, viewforum.php is for forums and categories. see step to where do you need to change the code.

I haved this question to, but i realised that for some forums is better to have only title and for other title : forum. If you wish that the name of the forum to have a big weight as keyword you should use if not just forgot about is better to miss the forum name in the title.
