I installed a few addons such as Tag Essentials, Keyword linking. I also did keyword research, and I use certain keywords when I post content without over-doing it. Readable content is more important, and keyword stuffing is bad for SEO.

It’s okay to have some content that has low quality as Google will expect that coming from a forum.
