i kinda stubled onto it.
It was talked about in another forum for Mazdas.
I may make a suggestion:
Most direct hits will come from Google and Yahoo (both the same algorythm)
Someone types in :
Mazda
or
MP3
or
Mazda MP3
And usually the top 5 links will collate what one is looking for.
Now in this sites case :
META DATA is non existant, You are promoting VBB, not MP3
meta http-equiv="Pragma" content="no-cache">
meta http-equiv="no-cache">
meta http-equiv="Expires" content="-1">
meta http-equiv="Cache-Control" content="no-cache">
!-- end no cache headers -->
meta name="keywords" content="vbulletin,forum,bbs,discussion,jelsoft">
meta name="description" content="Protege Forums is a discussion forum powered by vBulletin. To visit the forum, go to
http://www.msprotege.com/vbb225/ . To find out about vBulletin, go to
http://www.vbulletin.com/ .">
<title>Protege Forums</title>
To fix this :
meta name="keywords" content="protoge, mazda mp3, mp3, mazda, mazdaspeed protoge"
meta name="description" content="Protege Forums is a discussion forum for Mazda enthusiasts.">
If you repeat keywords more than three times you'll be heavely wieghted by the spyders. Thats bad when that happens.
Repeat your keywords a few times in TEXT on your site.
I could go on and on about how to get top ranked in most engines but I wont.
Hot air ?
Maybe, but odds say I will rank the search term "Mazdaspeed" in the top 5 positions within 90 days of this post. Just a prediction, but lets see what HoPPens (not to be confused with what PoPPens)
If your lost on how to change the meta data in your php code (VBB's php code) let me know.

Ping times are getting pretty high for your server (bsd03)
Offload something, or something.
