Nice SEO PHPBB Mod
I found this mod for phpBB. It adds an option in the admin panel to track search engine robots. It handles about 30 of the major ones. I had just installed some other mods to help my forum get indexed, and this will surely come in handy!

I never normally use it though, i use the stat packages in CPanel Pro

My host used to have cpanel but it upgraded to Vdeck which I am liking a lot more. I still of course use the stats in that as well, but as often as I am in the admin panel of the forum it makes it easier to just look at that

Which mods do you think are useful for SEO? I am struggling with my forum to get it recognized.

This is the 'official' forum post for the SEO mod I use. It has a lot of information on the mod, and the mod has several parts. It is the biggest mod I have ever added to phpBB but as long as you have some mod adding experience (or at least can follow the directions well) it should not be a problem at all. It has very good documentation on what it does. It uses many techniques which should help.

Have you guys tried doing updates with the mod? Things seem to be pretty stable with the updates lately, but, I can't imagine spending all of that time for it to possibly not work with any updates. I added this for sessions for Yahoo, Google and MSN, and it seems to do the trick. I'm having a hard time getting it indexed by Yahoo, but, Google and MSN deepcrawl it.

Final function in sessions.php (at the end of the file), replace the original fuction append_sid with...

PHP Code:
function append_sid($url, $non_html_amp = false)
{
   global $SID;


   if ( !empty($SID) && !preg_match('#sid=#', $url) && !stristr( $_SERVER["HTTP_USER_AGENT"] ,'bot') && !stristr($_SERVER["HTTP_USER_AGENT"] ,'inktomi') && !stristr( $_SERVER["HTTP_USER_AGENT"] ,'MSN'))
   {
      $url .= ( ( strpos($url, '?') != false ) ?  ( ( $non_html_amp ) ? '&' : '&' ) : '?' ) . $SID ;
   }
   return $url;

}

I spent quite a while changing stuff within phpBB recently for a client (for non-SEO reasons) and when doing the updates I found the .patch file way of putting in updates to be the best way of changing a modded site. It's a little more delicate than just over-writing your existing files and works fine if you follow the instructions. The only problem is you need to be able to run the Patch system on your own machine (my Mac has it in-built on the command line, but my WinPC doesn't) or SSH access to your host who'll need it (this should be no problem if they are running a UNIX-style system like Linux or BSD.)

The only issue I have with the patch system is that if a board is already heavily modified, it can cause unexpected results, because sometimes the code it is looking for has already been changed.

I am going to implement that modification above though and see how it works!

Thanks for the replies. Unfortunately I don't have command line access to my server. In response to my earlier post, to remove SID for search engines, you might as well remove it for everyone that's not logged in. This seems to be a better solution.

In includes/sessions.php

Find

PHP Code:
 $SID = 'sid=' . $session_id; 

Replace with

PHP Code:
if ( $userdata['session_user_id'] != ANONYMOUS ){
   $SID = 'sid=' . $session_id;
} else {
   $SID = '';
} 

Seems to work well.
