Hello all, phpbb is fairly new only a few months old, its not in google just at the moment but it is in msn search the problem I have is that the only 2 pages that I see in msn are the /search.php and /groupcp.php but my index doesnt show up? ............ I noticed today that in my head tags these pages show up there for some reason? could someone tell me if my head tag coding looks ok etc........

Just to clarify, you added forums to your site, and there is content, but it hasn't been picked up by Google, and MSN has picked up a couple of standard pages, but not the forums content (topics). Is that correct?

If so, you can check your META tags with nukeSEO, and having a Google Sitemap (which you can also get with nukeSEO) is a fast way to get your pages indexed with Google. You might want to submit a regular sitemap (once again, available with nukeSEO) to MSN so it can find your real content more easily.
