How on earth is this possible?
I opened my original forum based site (www.thesackshack.com) a good 3 weeks before my blog (www.ncaafootballtalk.com).
The forum has a TON more posts, articles, etc. Yet somehow my blog (which has only been open a week, and Ive only published around 10 stories) has 10 indexed pages on Google, yet my forum site has 2 - the main page and somehow a members profile. How is this? |

Do you have sitemaps submitted for the lesser-indexed site? Also, do you have backlinks to both?
I've also noticed my blogs get indexed much faster than my new webpages on other sites.

yep. sitemaps for both. i have links to the forums in the "about" section and on the front page of the blog.
As for the forums, I only have a image link to the blogs. Not making sense to me :/ |

If you can remove the session "s=" from the urls it might help, and a mod rewrite like this forum has may help also but I've read several times forums have been devalued and blogs get a little boost.
One forum in particular, an automotive forum, used to always show in the results a few years ago but now only rarely does it show in the search results with lower placement. It is a very large VB site with decent seo IMO.

You need to work on linkbuilding.

Yeah, link-building for my niche is a challenge and a half :/
The only sites to really link from already have a forum. I was told (earlier post on here I think) to avoid sites such as 'linkmarket' and 'linkexchange'. I have contacted a few football blogs to talk to them but if that doesn't work then I am SOL. The only quality link option I have right upfront is purchasing a link ad space on ESPN.com's college football section, as well as CNNSI.com's. |

Your forum doesn't have keyword rich static URLs and lacks quality backlinks. Try to build TR of your forum.Blogs are crawled and indexed faster by google. |
