A quick google search on "phpbb seo" turned up a few pages.

After reading several posts about session ID's recommending this, I opened sessions.php and replaced the following code:
- Code: Select all
global $SID;
if (!empty($SID) &&!preg_match('#sid=#', $url) )
with this:
- Code: Select all
global $SID, $HTTP_SERVER_VARS;
if (!empty($SID) &&!eregi('sid=', $url) &&!strstr($HTTP_SERVER_VARS['HTTP_USER_AGENT'] ,'Googlebot') &&!strstr($HTTP_SERVER_VARS['HTTP_USER_AGENT'] ,'slurp@inktomi.com;'))
Now Googlebot quite happily spiders my fora and results appear in the SERPS.

Another big tip was to get a MOD that gives you static urls. I'm not going to research that right now because I've just set this board up under a test release of version 3, and no version 2.x mods will be able to work, but it's something to look at in the future.
It looks like Able2Know will be the solution to look at:
