To add your forum to google.

To add your forum to yahoo.
Go here- http://searchmarketing.yahoo.com/arp/sponsoredsearch_ss.php?o=US1806&cmp=SYC&ctv=&s=Y&s2=S&b=25

Let me know if you want other search engines.

As for to protect your forum from hackers set all the secrity on your fourm as you can.
To do this go to admin pannel>General admin>security
Also make sure you can thrust your admins and mods 100%.

Create Meta Tags and submit to search engines

hello,

you can also submit your site to the biggest search engines and directories.For example :evrsoft, submitexpress, google, dmoz

this option is availabl on your admin panel >> home >> My first steps >> 5

so are these all free or not?

and where should i put the link?
it says somewhere in ur site but idk where is html bla bla

I just looked on there, they are free as long as you put their button on your forum. This I don't know how to do as I can't find where I am suppose to put this code:

<!-- START OF FASTSUBMIT LINK -->
<center>
<a href="http://www.evrsoft.com/fastsubmit/"><img width="114" height="41" src="http://www.evrsoft.com/submitnow.gif" alt="Free Search Engine Submission" border="0"></a><br>
<a href="http://www.evrsoft.com/fastsubmit/" target="_blank">Free Search Engine Submission</a>
</center>
<!-- END OF FASTSUBMIT LINK -->

So it won't just look like code. Can some one help me with that please.
