Installing Xenforo

Whats everyones opinion...
/forums /forum or /community

when pretty urls are active, /forums is also added to whatever you choose.

Whatever is fine. However, if you choose /forums or /forum, I'd change the forum route to something like section. I don't want my urls to look like /forums/forum/main-forum.1

/forums/section/main-forum.1 looks better.

will chaning it be better for seo?
Im just curious as to whats better for seo..

 

[Andrej]

I prefer to use /f or /board

 

[JulianD]

SEO wise, whatever you choose is fine. Technically you're wasting one keyword if you go with a URL like /forums/forum. But there's little room for improvement in that area i guess.

 

[billybatz9]

I am thinking about going with
/forums

Since that can be used as two keywords
"Forum" and "forums" right?
Or will Google only use that as "forums"

 

[JulianD]

Yeah, Google won't give you more weight because you have the keyword forum twice in your URLs.

 

[billybatz9]

how do you change it to section?

1.2 Route Filters, there's a manual entry on it.
