Im by no means an expert on the subject but wanted to point out that when i googled my domain name a google image preview appeared under the first three results.. Instantly noticing some of the images as my own i clicked on the image tab from google search page and every single image im using on Featured Threads was indexed and within the first 30 results google slurped up about 12 FT images which is probably 70 percent of the images im using ATM.. Dont know if its just a coincidence or some serious SEO voodoo happening but it was enough to impress me...
I searched this thread for adding adsense between the featured items, which apparently can't be done... so how does one ad adsense to the sidebar of the featured page only?
