Go to YouTube right now and listen to any SEO guru (especially the bald ones :cool: )
They will tell you that when you search for your target keyword on Google and the top 3-5 results on SERP are forums, you should be happy you have found an easy to rank keyword!

Here is the thing...

Those days are gone! Forums are evolving too. Thanks to Xenforo 2.2: Article Thread design

Forum articles will now have equal opportunity on SERPs. This feature distinguishes User Generated forum content from well-written articles. It sports al the Schema.org metadata and all the SEO goodies that WordPress has been boasting for a while!

So, when doing keyword research, if forums pop on top of SERP, take a minute and look inside to confirm! Don't celebrate just yet!
