I have noticed that BBO Forum threads don't appear to show up on Google searches, whereas Bridgetalk.com threads do (I found out about BBO from a Bridgetalk online poll about favorite online bridge sites - BBO won by a mile).

I think it would be a great way for people to find out about BBO if the threads could find their way into Google and other search engine results.

I'm a programmer who has done just enough web stuff to be dangerous  , and I am wondering if the reason for nonappearance is that the threads are kept in a database, and displayed dynamically when requested by a user, whereas perhaps Bridgetalk's threads are kept in files accesible to the search engines (pardon the tech talk).

In any case, is it possible that the threads could be made available to search engines?
