entry pages via the forum

I just don't know what you mean.

For example, the forums run on few php pages that through variables represent an unlimited (or only limited by the resources available) number of URLs.

URLs with variables are a nebulous issue insofar as page rank is concerned as you can't get Google to display a pagerank sometimes but it's safe to assume that they have some value assigned.

With the forums it's not easy to do different techniques based merely on the variable, so I'm not sure what you mean.

For example, are you talking about viewforum or viewtopic or something else entirely?

my apologies, I meant each php page without the variables that go with it. viewtopic.php would have a pr and so would viewforum.php and index.php, like that. But now I see that each topic has it's own page rank because I've had visitors come through that way.

Google downgrades the PR for dynamic URLs. You may well have 0 but still be getting visitors. PR is nearly meaningless, and you can get traffic with low or no PR pages sometimes.

so what general advice could be offered to making each of the topics more visible to people searching on search engines?
