I have a blog site example.com (WordPress) and have 10,000 (Alexa 30,000) visitors daily. We've decided to start a forum under example.com/forum/ (vBulletin)

Is this a wise idea for SEO? Should I upload a site map of the forum or I should let Google find the forum on its own?

What are the SEO implications of this method? Should I use a separate domain for the forum?

If you already running WordPress blog, then I suggest to go with subdomain, because there is some benefits.


Google will not penalize your whole site in future for low quality content, Generally, when people ask any question, and there is no answer, then it is consider as low quality webpage.
You can provide someone else(like developer or programmer) to control your forum without affecting to main domain.
You can host your forum on other server for better security. May be there are some good host that works cool with forum software like Mybb or vBulletin.
