i need guidance..

i have CMPS v2 running on vB3.5.1

my forum URL is truncated and not running on my home page..like this..
http://twobrutal.co.uk/TBforum/index.php?

now i am concerned that my rankings are suffering not having any links on my root http://twobrutal.co.uk

is there any way to easily migrate my forum and CMPS to my root folder OR any way i can have a CMPS front page on my root domain name..?
can i simply place my CMPS index.php file in the parent folder and point to it in the CMPS admin panel or would that cause all sorts of issues with my forum?

i know this may sound like a silly idea but my site is getting a substantial amount of views (av.5000 per day) and i dont feature anywhere in google..

i can only assume its because of the lack of linking on my domain root page..

please advise..

I have moved vb/CPMS between folders numerous times. It is a breeze. Just make the path changes in the vb admincp and in your cmps index file / as well as your style image paths.. Shouldnt take you but a few minutes.

Why do you think your ranking is suffering for not having a root page on Google?

as far as i know googles rating system is calculated mainly on link exposure of a domain..having just a splash screen on my domain is not the best way to get a good rating from google..should really have my forum in my root..
