How to index all forum posts in google

google sitemaps are sufficient?

[neo2remember]

Hi friends

I have been running a forum on my site since few months. Every day my forum getting near about 300+ new posts. I want to index all the forum posts in google search engine. I am using google sitemaps since 10 days only. Are google sitemaps are enough to index all the posts in forum? if it is how long it may take to index 10,000 posts? Just estimation....

If google sitemaps are not sufficient is there any other way to index all of my forum posts in search engines?

Thanks in adnavce.

I use a whole bunch of sitemaps on my forum, like 20 I think at last count and they work very well.

The question of indexing is going to be tied to the site navigation and PR of the site.

Make sure that all "newreply", "newpost", "sendPM", login, etc pages have <meta name="robots" content="noindex"> on them so that only thread indexes, and forum threads are indexed.

Make sure that all printfriendly, threadedview, viewsinglepost, and other such duplicate content pages also have such a tag.

If you are using vbulletin, make the "next thread" and "previous thread" links issue a 301 redirect to the canonical URL for the thread with the correct thread number in place of the number that is in the &thread=nnnnnn&action=nextnewest type links.

I do not use Webwiz (I am a PHP kinda guy) but I do know that Webwiz has a big support forum..., I can not post the link here but you should have no problem finding it; i.e.: *Webwiz Forum*
