Pretty quick catch mnemtsas. Yup, I'm seeing the same thing...more backlinks, no change in PR....what's going on? Is PR as a visual indicator obsolete?

A friend of mine runs a site from godaddy for like $3 a month. In short, it doesn't take much if you don't need a ton of space.

I use a place called Network11. Quite good in my opinion.

You perhaps have a point.

I seem to be partial to phpBB. I'm not exactly sure why though. Likely because it's familiar and tends to generally have a more clean aesthetic than other types of forums.

Yeah. They say it gets incrimentally harder to go up as you go. I'm personally finding it hard to go from 5 to 6.

Hopefully next update!

Very good article.

I found it very informative.

Agreed. I have one frames site that has done better than expected, but it is no doubt harder to optimize.

Have you had success with getting email addresses this way?

I'm still trying to find out the best way to get new newsletter enrollees. It's harder than I thought it'd be!

Hey! I'm new. I'm mainly into web design and SEO stuff!

Nice article.

Very informative information. Getting visitors to return is the hardest part.

My AdSense stats always seem to be really delayed compare to AdWords though.

That's what I think! Any link is a good one!

Interesting article. I agree about not trying to boost PR just for the sake of it.

I've found that time is the best thing for indexing forums. As long as a hack is installed. Your pages will all get indexed eventually.

Perhaps more dynamic colors could bring it out more.
