Title: Should I do SEO for my forum?
Post by: ATH019 on 10 July, 2019, 02:39:37 AM: Seeing as this is a forum I thought this would be an apt place to raise this question, which is, should I use SEO for my forum in addition to other promotion techniques, or is it a waste of time? This is what someone on another forum that I'm also a member of suggests in a fairly detailed post.
