Hi,

almost all my content is in the simpel press forum. Is there a way to do the seo for each forum page ?

In the back-end all the forum content is stored in 1 page. And there for i can not set seo for each page.

Thanks

This are my general seo settings

personally, I like including the blog name and the page name... but that is more preference than required...

but more importantly, you have checked use custom meta description on all forum pages and have not entered a custom meta description... so you get nothing...

personally, I would check the last option for custom meta description...  use custom description on main forum page and then the forum meta description on forum view and the first post excerpt...

I would also use the custom keywords and then enter some...  if you had tags plugin enabled you could make the custom keywords be the tags for that topic...

yes, comma separated...

amount of tags is personal preference...  guess I would say no more than 10...  but not a hard number...

sentences would typical go in the meta description... keywords would be in the keywords...  phrases are okay, like 'support forum'...  but not typical sentence form...
