Search engine optimization tips for Askbot-powered sites

• Carefully choose the url for your Askbot site.
• Give some care to the "about", "faq", "help", "privacy policy", "terms of service", "feedback" pages.
• Most importantly: get rid of the spam profiles that spambots create on your Askbot site. These spam profiles end up hindering your ranking in search engines (in addition to costing you storage and bandwidth).
• Have links to your Askbot sites in relevant places. For instance your profile page here could point to your Askbot site if you have one!
