Hi, I used manage few active forums in many years back, then priority changed and those were ignored. Gradually organic traffic to those forums degraded that in now it is almost non-existence. On-prime, one of those forums used to have around 15K unique daily and now its barely able to reach 100 unique daily.
The forum is based on vbulletin. In past, few times I tried to revive those forums but have following issues:
-
Out of around 26K topics , only few hundreds are indexed by google now. This is the main reason I suppose traffic is gone.
-
New content is not picked by Google anymore, I checked by adding regular good content for few weeks, none of it has been picked up. It looks like Google has just decided to not index my pages. In-fact, Google tools said, there is nothing indexed in last many years. (But search console says its crawling website daily)
I checked Google search console, it says URL excluded for most of my topics. I can't find any definitive reason. Pages are mobile friendly, recently I also optimized them further to comply Google Pagespeed test. Page speed score for ror mobile it hover around 75-80 For desktop : around 92-96 .
I understand that some of the pages might not be good but there are really some good content topics.
I am not sure if my effort to revive that forum is going to be futile or I am missing something major ?
