The simplest way for me to add new content to my website is to simply post to my forum. In a post I can do almost everything I can do by creating a page of html, such as pictures, links, etc. Furthermore, I can make such additions from any computer as it doesn't require FTP software to make a forum post.

But the search engines are quick to pick up on a newly created page of html, but I rarely every come across a page of my web forum on a search engine, even if the post contains lots of good data.

Since ultimately I'd like to drive more traffic to my site so I can get more clicks, I've been reluctant to take the easy route by updating through forum posts.

Any thoughts?
