      After a crawl it found over 5k errors and over 5k warnings. Those are: Duplicate page content; Duplicate page title; Overly-Dynamic URLs; Missing Meta descr; Title Element too long. All those come from domain.com/forum/

      I don't need SEO on forum so what should I do? What could be an easy solution to this? No index? No follow? Please help

        Don't you need SEO? I don't understand this statement, this is SEO. By the way, with "duplicate links" do you mean "duplicate contents"? Sorry but probably my english is poor (I'm italian).

        Is domain.com/forum your site? If it is you probably missing the rel canonical tag, so the parametric urls create duplicate pages/title, etc... Is this a good point to start?

          Well, I only need optimize site.com/ and 4-5 more pages on it. I agree that indexes of forum on google are valuable but I don't know how to handle all these errors, there are way too many of them. There are canonical tags and some 301 redirects because site has duplicate content on the site (same pages on site.com/site/) but I don't know what to do with a forum.
