Joey,

Two things. One, the archive is crap. vB archive is made specifically for the search engines, and the search engines can tell the difference. There are no outgoing links, no images, etc. It's crap.

And when people link to a they link to the the showthread.php version, not the archived version.

But here's the other thing. showthread.php?t=2579 ETC will never do as well as name-of-thread.html or name-of-thread.php in the SE's.

I noticed that when we were on Internet-Marketing-Research.net. We were running phpBB at the time, and when we rewrote the URL's to appear static, out traffic and rankings shot way up.
