One thing i recommend after a move to UBB.T7 is a sitemap (no i'm not just saying it because the sitemap software that I created is a possiblity); but inputting all of your threads into google at once does have positive aspects.

SE Friendly links is another good thing.

Also adding this to your header may help:
Code
<meta name="robots" content="index,follow" />
<meta name="revisit-after" content="2 days" />
<meta name="rating" content="General" />
<meta name="distribution" content="Global" />

Then Linkbacks from other sites help too.

Also, make sure you're not blocking SE bots from crawling your forums via your robots.txt


I am using...

<meta http-equiv="Pragma" content="no-cache">
<title>Football and Cricket Forums - Fans Focus - Focusing on Fans of Sport</title>
<meta name="robots" content="all,index,follow" />
<meta name="description" content="my description." />
<meta name="keywords" content="my keywords" />
<meta name="Publisher" content="isdoo Media 0871 236 0 250" />
<meta name="Author" content="isdoo Media 0871 236 0 250" />
<meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" />


I will add

<meta name="rating" content="General" />
<meta name="distribution" content="Global" />

Not sure about the revisit - had mine set to 5 days - but really I want google every day LOL

Also my robots is different.
