    I wouldnt worry so much about your page rank, to increase your pagerank I suggest installing the no follow on all external links mod from vbulletin.org, that will help stop posted links giving votes from your sites to others and retaining your own PR. The main thing I see page rank as is something extra that people will pay extra for when it comes to buying advertisements on a site. Your on page seo and link building is far more important than worrying about PR.

    I suggest using better anchor text in your signature here to begin with, linking in with Manly Stuff Dot Com is certainly not going to help you so much, maybe change that to mens forums or something similar, maybe porn forum? You need to choose what will be driving you the most traffic and stick with a few similar and traffic driving terms.

    Try removing as much irrelevant text from your index page, that may help you and throw in your keywords within your descriptions as well as your board title.

    Thats not everything you need to do but of course it is a start :)

    Good luck!

    Moved to SEO forum.

    Just know that we haven't even tried to increase our PR or anything. The only thing we've done is install vBSEO and make a few tweaks.
    We left the rest to:

    • Content
    • Natural backlinks (members posting our link on other sites to share interesting articles, for example)
    • Activity
    • Sitemaps
    And it apparently has worked.

    It seems to be that you get the best results when you don't try.

    My Linnie Forum is also a PR 3, and it doesn't even have vBSEO.

    I doubt its the result of changing your signature here only at AA but wherever its coming from if its human traffic, you have something good, congrats! If its aided you in the search engines and pushed some of your content up high in Google great work!

    If that is searched more than eye candy then yeah that is a possibility. Any increase in traffic unless its paid traffic/bots is good.

    It could help, to be honest SEO is quite a major thing and is delicate and precise somewhat. Try this tool:

    Yes, that's a good place to start.

    It's necessary to choose a good keyword research tool - i use semrush for example. Have you ever tried it?

    Link building and natural backlinks are much effective tricks for improving pagerank.
