should I even bother configuring modrewrite and the forum php files so that the html URLS that are output have keywords from the post titles in them?
or is the incremental benefit so small that is would not be worth the time...? I noticed that for your seo-board set up you did not set things up this way.. you just use article1.html etc for your site... |

There's no benefit. Actually, the major seo benefit from seo-board has nothing to do with URLs. It has to do with the linkining structure. Think of it this way. Every page has a given link popularity based on the incoming links to your site. A link to your site increases the link pop of the page it links to and additionally the link pop of all other pages. If you have a given amount of links and spread their value over let's say 100 pages or over 10000 guess in which case every page will get more importance (link pop)? Basically, seo-board does not inflate the number of non-content pages and thus does not dilute the value of link pop per page. An ordinary forum inflates the number of non-content pages wildly (member lists, member profiles, reply to every post, report every post, quote post etc.). seo-board minimizes this by calling stuff like the search page using forms. The links are buttons that look like links. Also the reply/new topic are not links but are embedded in the page etc. Generally that's the major benefit. SEO-Board does not inflate the number of non-content pages (that have no chance ranking) and thus every page gets more link pop out of a given amount of links. SEO-Board only adds content pages to a site, not unnecessary things like search, reply etc.
