Hi.

The Slogon of my forum is "The Place Where Freaks, Geeks & Creeps meet"

Its not good for seo right?

Sometimes I use a desc. saying, a forum with computer talk, games, pranks and more...

Suggestions?

Your Meta description isn't super important, but it does help a little. I think it is more important to write a description that converts, though.

Pratt, i'm not talking about meta desc.

In general, like say, if you submit site to a directory or something..?

Oops, my mistake. Well if you mean using this description when submitting to directories, and getting links then you might want to try optimizing it more. Words surrounding links are important in terms of SEO (like your description would be).

First of all, your description is way off course and should be a short sentence DESCRIBING what your site is about ... then, you should also fix these 36 code warnings:

Code:

Well, most directories have separate keyword field when filling in.

You may also want to remove the session ids which can mean doom for your site in SEs.

can you please explain it.

I already have a mod installed on it.
No SID for bots

Do you mean that?

How does that work? I'd be worried Google might interpret that as cloaking? And how does it identify bots? I hear GoogleBot is starting to send out user agent strings to mimic regular browsers.

That's something that Google has always done when (or if) they need to.

But in this case it won't be a problem
