How can anyone say with 100% certainty if Google optimizes their crawl using input from Analytics and AdSense? I guess you could ask Matt Cutts if you're really curious. However, via instrumentation, Google obviously is being indirectly notified the moment a new page is displayed. It's hard to imagi...

For example "I installed SEO Mod Rewrite and 1000 to 5000 increase my traffic via Google" Could anyone say like this? Someone could say it, but who would believe the improvements were solely attributable to the phpBB-seo mods? As a general rule, sites that are more user friendly are more ...

Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. No.

If you have the no dupe mod activated, there's no rush to modify the robots.txt. Google will continue to follow (and update where necessary) the "old" URLs. From phpBB SEO Premod V 3.0.6 : robots.txt A sample robots.txt is provided in the package to make sure no useless content is taken in...

Look out! They are trying to sell you services to correct minor problems at great expense. OK, OK... their suggestions, while not wholly worthless, are SEO 101 suggestions that Google Webmaster Tools would point out. Sign up for Google Webmaster Tools and focus on creating content worth finding. Yo...

Did you do step 6 below? Before you start, read this with caution. => For a smooth install : 1) Backup all your files; 2) Apply the mod code changes on copies of your files; 3) Upload all files; 4) CHMOD the phpbb_seo/cache/ folder to 0777; 5) Empty the phpBB/cache/ folder : just delete all files EX...
