Hello Experts

What is your URL and what is your niche what keywords are you targeting?

By default mybb doesn't have any meta tags except <title>!!
You can either use a plugin to add meta tags: http://mods.mybb.com/view/metatags-plugin
Or add it manually however the best solution would be to add meta tag manually into your index page and use SEO plugin for the rest of the forum

You can use this free tool to generate meta tags. !!!!! Skip Title: !!!!!
