phpBB generates a lot of duplicate content, a "hot issue" nowadays, I think....

And without heavy modding, this cannot be avoided...

Ofcourse you have to disable session id's, or else you board will not get indexed at all...

You could add a google sitemap generator..

I recently added this to my robots.txt:

User-agent: Googlebot
Disallow: /forum/search.php?*
Disallow: /forum/groupcp.php?*
Disallow: /forum/privmsg.php?*
Disallow: /forum/posting.php?*
Disallow: /forum/modcp.php?*
Disallow: /forum/login.php?*

I keep experimenting with phpBB, to make it right, adding my own spamfilters, and "SEO" hacks...

I have a few, sticky me if you want to see....
