While the unspoken law with Google is “Given 2 index hits, we will give the highest SERP ranking to the website with Google AdSense adverts over the websites that do not have them”
I am puzzled why more forums do not support Google/MSN/Yahoo’s sitemap protocol?

This is the perfect chance to have every post in any forum indexed and thus be present in the SE and available for search queries.
And ultimately, more traffic for the forum.
