What will the links point to?

I think he's referring more towards which site would provide the best return on time investment for a social marketing campaign ... creating a Twitter account and updating it regularly or creating a...

I think I might just change my answer. I just stumbled upon this article at http://www.emarketer.com/Article.aspx?R=1007346 where a study conducted shows that 20.7% of site visitors referred by...

For marketing, I would choose twitter over facebook. I associate facebook with being more for personal reasons than twitter.

Alexa only collects data on the top 100,000 sites. If you rank in 3+ million, they won't collect any data on you.

I'm not really sure what a video search engine is?

Let me begin by asking you a question: What did you change? When did you first notice the difference? Can you attribute it to something you did or stopped doing?

Well, that's a rather broad question. In fact, one this entire forum is devoted to. Do you have anything more specific about SEO you're particularly interested in?

Iframes really aren't recommended. Is there a reason that you need to be using them?

Appropriately enough, DaniWeb uses <blockquote cite=""> for all [quote] bbcode, where the cite URL is the permalink to the individual post you cited.

The appropriate way to reproduce content is to use the <blockquote> html tag, and use <blockquote cite="original source url"> to give credit. This tells Google that your content is reproduced and so...

You just posted the same link that sam09 did?

Also, sam09 is talking about the same content under multiple URLs on the same page. Duplicate content is usually revolving around the same article or...

You'd be surprised how every little thing (as minor as it may seem) has a rippling effect.

I'm not so sure it's people using more keywords as it is people using more natural language search. Me thinks, anyways :)

I'd really think that their design is WAY too generic to be patented. Must be why deliberation on whether or not to grant the patent took 5 years.

Well we don't have a Google or Yahoo! forum so I don't see why we should have a Bing forum ;) Our Internet Marketing category is still immature compared to the other sections of DaniWeb, so I'd...

I've never even heard of Warrior forum?

It was removed in favor of a different type of link exchange ... encouraging members to use your member badges (accessible via your member profile) on your own website. It allows you to track hits...

The DaniWeb Directory no longer exists.

It's meant to allow the publisher to give a guideline to the search engines whether or not they vouch for the site they're linking to, but ultimately it's up to the search engine to decide whether or...

Correction - Buying and selling links for the purpose of increasing your PR is a violation of Google's guidelines.

You should buy links on pages when the subject is relevant, the audience is your...

Create content for humans and not spiders. If the content is good and worth reading, the traffic will naturally follow as people naturally link to the content.

Don't keyword stuff your pages by...

Oh, nevermind, I take that back. It looks like Google analytics is now reporting "bing" while before they reported "live" and "msn" as two different search engines (both started sending me 0 traffic...

Yay for Bing! They're sending me 3X the amount of traffic that MSN used to. It's LITERALLY MS flipping a little switch and sending me 3X the amount of traffic one day to the next. Did anyone else...

Whenever you load a webpage, the web server sends a status code back to your browser. 404 is a file not found error, 200 is an OK acknowledgement that the page is available, and a 301 is a permanent...

<personal rant> I hate tools where I have to specify a keyword ... doesn't work with sites like mine that only use long tail keywords for seo traffic.

I haven't heard dmoz mentioned in the longest time. Is it still as powerful as it used to be ... or am I just out of the loop?

As mentioned earlier in this thread, our link directory is no longer available. Locking thread.

You only have enough pagerank juice to spread to that number of pages. Get more links pointing to your domain.

Yes, they do ... but, as mokmok pointed out, new pages are being created and deleted every single day, new links are being added and removed every day, so there's ALWAYS going to be flucation as...

I'm confused.

Yeap :)

Right ... but the trick is figuring out just what content it is that Yahoo likes. i.e. do they like lots of text, or pages broken down more? Do they like H1 tags? Do they still use meta tags? etc etc

It used to be called the "sandbox" ... where new sites go before they get to start ranking well. Google has done away with that [supposedly].

Basically, Google factors in the age of a domain when...

Are you guys talking about the green bar in the Google toolbar? If so, it's meaningless :)

I get an amazing amount of traffic from Google, but have yet to figure Yahoo! out. I know that they put a lot of emphasis onto on-page stuff, but it seems to be different than even what Google...

Not sure what you mean? Yahoo! logs? *confused*

What is a Point2 verification code? Unfortunately I'm not so sure I can help you further without seeing your sitemap. Sometimes if you have a LOT of URLs in your sitemap, your server will timeout...

Did you make any changes recently? Were you building backlinks and then recently that slowed?

Who says they do? What are you going by? (I don't know for sure, I'm just asking what you're basing your question off of)
