I don't know if I'm going to explain it right, but how do you get your website to be promoted on the Internet. Like when you type in Vampire Academy into google, and all the things come up how do you get your website to come up? Do you have to ask google? or something. I'm sorry if this doesn't make any sense. Thanks in advance for anyones help!
Click on ADD URL to add your website into Google.
www.google.com/submityourcontent/website-owner/#You need to get out there and start marketing your forum. You can exchange links with other proboards forum for starters. This way you can get visitors from other forums that is related to your forums content.
As long as you have all your categories/forum section viewable to Guests and members (except private special section), the search engine bots will eventually find your forum and begin to index it's content.
To get your forum ranked for any keyword phrase you type into Google, you need to gain a lot of quality backlinks from authority sites or websites that don't look spammy. Google is cracking down on spamming sites and banning them from there search results or just deindexing half of there backlinks so they will never show up on the first few pages when you are searching Google.
You can't tell Google to place my forum on page 1 for this keyword phrase. You need to earn that position on page 1 or page 2...etc by gaining quality backlinks everyday. Just by continually updating your forum with fresh content, you are giving Google some posts/content to index into Google. V5 of proboards is SEO friendly and could help you out in the google rankings.
In V5 of proboards, the forum will be by default more SEO (search engine friendly) and should get indexed a lot faster in the search engines.
I'll mention a few things how I market my blog online.
I make sure there is always fresh new content on my blog about every other day. On your forum, everyday you'll have fresh new content because people should be posting something everyday. Google and the search engine bot's won't come to visit your site if there isn't any new content to crawl.

Just by posting quality and helpful posts, you can get free traffic from curious members/visitors wanting to check out your site.
My blog has keywords that I'm targeting. For a few of them, i got myself ranked on page 1 in google if someone was to type in those keywords. Took me a few years to get this ranking because Google been on the rampage with the Google Panda updates. The link below has some info about what this panda update is.
searchengineland.com/google-says-panda-update-is-rolling-out-now-116444I would say for now, wait till Proboards V5 comes out. Your rankings for your keywords would improve I think because of the way V5 is built with SEO friendly links and other stuff.
You do know that you can advertise your forum on Proboards in this section below.

I'm not super active no more on Proboards so i may not respond back so fast to you.
