Ok , everybody knows that search engine optimization is verry important for every website or forum . A fresh install of MyBB doesn`t offers you the posibility to add keywords and description to your forums . Here it is a simple tutorial of how to do that on mybb:

#1. First, login to Admin Control Panel ( ACP ) , then on the left side you will notice a box called Templates and inside the box there is a link called Modify / Delete , click on it .

#2. At default templates (or the template that you are using ) click expand .

#3. Search in page for headerinclude and click on him, then the standard page should look like this :
Code:
<link rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml" title="{$lang->latest_threads} (RSS 2.0)" href="{$mybb->settings['bburl']}/syndication.php" />
<link rel="alternate" type="application/atom+xml" title="{$lang->latest_threads} (Atom 1.0)" href="{$mybb->settings['bburl']}/syndication.php?type=atom1.0" />
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset={$charset}" />
<script type="text/javascript" src="{$mybb->settings['bburl']}/jscripts/prototype.lite.js?ver=121"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="{$mybb->settings['bburl']}/jscripts/moo.ajax.js?ver=121"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="{$mybb->settings['bburl']}/jscripts/general.js?ver=121"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="{$mybb->settings['bburl']}/jscripts/popup_menu.js?ver=121"></script>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="{$theme['css_url']}" />
<script language="Javascript" type="text/javascript">
<!--
var cookieDomain = "{$mybb->settings['cookiedomain']}";
var cookiePath = "{$mybb->settings['cookiepath']}";
var newpm_prompt = "{$lang->newpm_prompt}";
var deleteevent_confirm = "{$lang->deleteevent_confirm}";
var removeattach_confirm = "{$lang->removeattach_confirm}";
var loading_text = '{$lang->ajax_loading}';
var saving_changes = '{$lang->saving_changes}';
// -->
</script>
{$newpmmsg}
#4. Find the next line :
Code:
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset={$charset}" />
#5. After that line post the following code changing the content:
Code:
<META NAME="DESCRIPTION" CONTENT="Here i put the description of my forum" />
<META NAME="KEYWORDS" CONTENT="here, i, put, the, keywords, of, my, forum" />
Verry simple 5 steps for an important search engine optimization . It`s not verry hard and can be done by everybody in max 2 minutes .
