There are a few points which every search engine optimization engineer should remember. Going through this will not only get you a better SERP's ranking but also will increase your Google PR.
The more your websites content is unique the more chances are that it will rank at the top. So place your website content with some unbelivable words like for example - thought provoking content.
Many people do submit articles to various sites and think there job is over. But if you really want your article to make headlines, you should make it as unique as possible. So now you know what this technique means.
Getting Linkbacks: Most SEO's think the more the linkbacks the better the PR and SERP's which is one of the most biggest rumours going around in the world of SEO.
Don't place common anchor text on hundred's and thousands of sites as these can be identified by Search engines as link spam or a Black hat technique.
Avoid Link Farms: Avoid sites which offer thousands of links instantly by placing a folder on your site. This is one of the worst methods of getting linkbacks. While submitting to directories, have a close look at the PR and the quality of the backlink.
Make use of all tags in your pages like title, description, keywords, header 1, header 2, alt of images by focusing on 10 main keywords for optimization.
Install a sitemap script for your website if it has thousands of pages and set a cron to update it daily if you wish search engine's to crawl your site regularly. You can find many such scripts on the internet today.
Submit to as many quality directories, article sites and Press Releases as possible. While doing so the most important factor to remember is that all these should have a unique content and anchor text.
Avoid Blackhat SEO. Blackhat SEO is a vast topic that commands little respect from real webmasters as it means using underhand methods to gain search engine rankings, although the site is usually banned quickly. Blackhat SEO includes using link farms, search engine spamming, hidden or disguised text, fake meta tag data, using duplicate content and using doorway pages. I would recommend you stay away from tactics like this as you will end up losing out in the long run.Well why do you want high PageRank? Many people say it doesn’t matter, and to a degree, they are probably right. PageRank (know as PR) however, can be seen as a reflection of a sites progress, and working to increase PR is a sort of target a webmaster can set themselves. A higher PR does not necessarily mean you’ll rank above your competitors in the Search Engines, but it can be useful for other reasons. For example, in directories your site will be at the top of the list, or if you own a directory (or any website) you’ll probably be able to sell backlinks for more, as people work to increase their own PR.
Remember that there is no single key to success for a forum, so experiment with my guide above and with your own ideas and see what happens. If your forum dies or fails, don't be afraid to try again and again, until your forum is such a success you can't keep up with it anymore.
