Optimizing a Forum (phpbb3)

[wallacep]

Hi all,

Over the last 6 months our small forum has be getting a tiny bit of traffic. We would like to make the forum a larger part of what we are offering (content wise). Regardless, I am wondering if anyone had any recommendations for optimizing a phpbb3 forum as Moz seems to keep telling me that I have 70,000 pieces of duplicate content, duplicate pages, etc. While the site crawl by moz outputs varying results week to week, it appears to be tagging posts and responses to posts as duplicate content. I am concerned that Google may be doing the same.

Additionally, are there any recommendations for best practices related to forum meta descriptions and page titling as well?

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Sincerely,

Jared P.
