But what if you had to pick one, and only one. Which change to a page would you consider to be the most important as far as SEO?
Try creating a page with a title and no content. Then create another with useful content and no title. Don't include any META tags in either. Then provide equal links into each page. Which do you think would do better?
You probably don't need to actually do it. I'm not going to, but I am convinced that the page with content and no title would stand a better chance of actually showing up in some SERPs. But I would be more surprised to find either.
i finally added page titles to my forum posts, hope it helps me in the rankings...
It will, I just did that, as soon as pages were indexed I got top 10s for the subjects of the threads. Of course make sure forum has search engine friendly urls, no session ids given to bots etc.

I did this a while ago, page with title, everything except content, had one or two sentences, looked up one day and it was number one in google for 2 word key word phrase, forced me to expand that part of the site since keyword phrase was not uncommon, but expanding that part of the site worked just like Brett Tabke says it does, add content every day, do everything else right.
Is it okay to seperate words in the title with an underscore? Example: Best_Books_on_Widgets
I would say no, it is not okay. My first question would be why? What purpose does that serve? For one, it doesn't look right. Two, it goes against most readability standards. And three, it really doesn't make sense to do that.

Can somebody please clarify this for me? I've seen it mentioned a couple of times about helping your rankings. Is this referring to placing a link to your site in a forum? Does this count as an incoming link?
