Improve Forum SEO?

[Jam]

So I want to try and boost up my page rank for my forum that I have...

So far I have put on:
- 301 redirect script
- SEO plugin (which turns URLS for threads to simple things like website.com/my-first-thread)
- Dynamic Keywords (Takes keywords from the post, and puts them as meta tag key words)
- Meta description
- Titles on every page
- Keywords in headings
- Submitted to enough search engines
- Alt tags on images
- Most links are absolute
- Important links have titles

And I'm spending a lot of time gaining back links.

Can anyone see something that I'm not doing? Or anyways of improving what I'm doing?

Thanks,
JAM

I actually wrote a post on our company's blog the other day about SEO and SEM. Maybe it would be of some interest to you.

As far as SEO goes I think the things you've listed here are pretty well rounded. One thing you might want to look into is nichebot. They give you a one dollar 14 day trial and you can search their database for high demand/low competition keywords which you can then use to optimize your forum. I would also recommend reading some of Michael Campbell's techniques on his site and listening to some of his podcasts. I really get a lot out of them. Michael Campbell - Internet Marketing Secrets
