Question about index file location and search engines

[trana]

Hi,

I recently configured a new board and added CMPS. My forum files are in /forum, so in order to call the site, I have to add that to the url.

I want to optimize how search engines and spiders analyze the site content. For example, I do not want the /forum to show up in the google/yahoo results. The web site should be discovered as www.mysite.com.

How do I achieve this? Should I put the CMPS index file in the root directory and change the navbar to point to the /forum php files?

Any advice would be appreciated.

Thanks.

That's what I would recommend.
