well i don't know much about meta tags and have NEVER messed around with them
so my question is...if i try to create these meta tags...it won't harm my forum in any way right?

meta tags are used to get info about your site. If you want the bots to index your site then put the same meta tags in the index page as you put in the meta tag list under ACP

sorry for the late reply.

Meta tags are something which tells the browser or bots about your site.

To put meta tags about your site, goto
ACP->General admin->meta tags+
and under the META Keywords field enter whatever meta tags you wish to enter.

then open up your sites index.htm or index.asp or index.php file and enter the same keywords under the meta tag section. Example from site is given below

<head>
<title>Club Mytikas, Singapore</title>
<meta>
<meta>
<meta>
<meta>
</head>

now start adding the bots which come to your site and after a month or so you can see your site starting to get indexed by the search bots.

If your site is not getting indexed then let me know and we discuss about it further <img>

How do you know if your site is being "indexed?"

if you go into bots management screen then it will show the number of pages being indexed and the percentage of your site being indexed

i can't see the 'meta tag section' in my index.php file...maybe i'm opening the wrong file?

you can insert the meta tag section under the <head> section of the html header. Php files generate html, so you need to tell them how to generate the html with the <head> section. later i will search the web and might find an example for you.
