Hello,
I'm a Java developer and i have created a forum in InvisionFree, that uses a Invision Power Board, but i want to index my forum to Google, how i can do this, remember that my account is free, then i can't upload files for the root of my forum.

Thanks,
Nathan Paulino Campos

Do you mean you want Google to index your forum? If so, this is a process that you will have to wait for. Google follows links on other sites, so when the Google Bot finds a like to your site it will follow it to your forum. Most people don't know this, but Google might have already indexed their pages. Do a Google search for site:[YOUR URL HERE] to see if your site has already been indexed. If not, you can submit it on this Google Submission Page . Make sure there are links to your site though. Place it in your forum signature, spread the link around the web, tell people about your forum, and you should have a higher page rank and a better chance of being #1 on a Google search for your forum. It might be a good idea to submit to Bing and Yahoo. Even though they aren't as popular, you will have a better chance of being found.
