 | A friend in the SEO industry (Jim Boykin) used to have a Delorean he bought off of EBay with the license plate TIMECAR. He’s since sold it, unfortunately.  |
 | Hi Ron and welcome to DaniWeb! Thanks for taking the time to sign up and join us in our little corner of the web. Something tells me that @Reverend Jim and @rproffitt will be along any moment to greet you as well ... ;) |
 | > checking if MBAMService.exe is abnormal in Task Manager What does that mean?? Abnormal in what way? |
| | I know that this is probably a hopeless question, but are there any automated scripts that would *reliably* and *automagically* convert my thousands upon thousands of lines of jQuery code into native Javascript? |
| | We used to use Sharepoint way back in the day when DaniWeb had one of those Microsoft subscriptions that gave you access to all license keys. I forget what it used to be called but they don't have it anymore and haven't for many years, as far as I know. … |
 | Thanks for the heads up! I’m able to reproduce it and I’ll look into it shortly. I’m currently still in bed. |
| | Better caching strategies? I don't have any experience with app development, but for web development, I use Redis for these kinds of things. |
 | Don't forget that if you are not going with an out-of-the-box solution, such as Mailchimp, Sendgrid, etc., that you will need to clean the list on your own! That means purging bounced addresses, purging addresses that don't interact with your emails, etc. |
| | Probably this is me just venting more than anything, but has anyone had success in getting in touch with someone from Cloudflare billing? Cloudflare recently charged us a boatload of money for Argo accelerated traffic that was the result of a DDoS attack. Cloudflare was able to detect on their … |
| | How can I identify and delete unused MySQL indexes? I have a large table that has somehow accumulated way too many indexes over the years, and I'd now like to identify and delete indexes that are no longer used by the application. |
 | CDNs such as Cloudflare offer hotlink protection via a toggle switch you could enable. But, yeah, the primary benefit of hotlink protection is that a website doesn't upload images to *your* site, and then include them in their own site without having to pay for the bandwidth of hosting the … |
| | Marking this question as solved. Thanks all! |
| | * Microsoft Office (for macOS) And then to manage DaniWeb: * PhpStorm * Remote Desktop Manager * Viscosity * Screaming Frog SEO Spider |
| | > So you're telling me Sam Web Studio fails at this? I just came across this now (yes, I admit 5 years too late), but yeah, every SEO worth anything is constantly in search of better tools to track the latest algorithm updates. And this is still true 5 years … |
| | This is something that I've really struggled with ever since DaniWeb stopped being able to afford Google Ads. Social media tends to not work as well for us because most of the questions people ask on here are so niche that they really are only relevant when people do a … |
 | > Been coming on daniweb for 20 years, was always such a great place for help and advice. Last time I visited was 4-5 years ago and I noticed then it was getting quieter. Somewhat sorry to see the state of things now, these "most recent" threads are all so … |
 | Salem linked to it (thank you!), but it seems succinct enough that I'm going to include it here in case the link were to disappear in the future. # qemu-img snapshot [ -l | -a snapshot | -c snapshot | -d snapshot ] filename -l: lists all snapshots -a: reverts … |
| | I don't understand your question. What is a project center? Something like Slack or Github that can be used to help manage a team working on a software project? Probably the wrong question for me since I'm a one-woman team. Is this a homework question? I'm so confused why you're … |
| | It has to do with the type of website that is trying to gain traffic. However, for the most part, content sites are pretty frustrated that AI bots are scraping all of their content and then using it to directly answer a searcher's question, without the searcher ever having to … |
 | Hi Steve. Welcome to DaniWeb. What brings you here? |
| | What are some best practices for optimizing memory management when working with large datasets? I am tagging this topic both with php (because that is my language of choice, and the one I work with big data with) as well as c++ (because I know DaniWeb has a large low …  |
| | Probably a silly question, but is Argo Smart Routing (the usage-based product) only applicable to content served at the origin? Otherwise, does it makes sense to be spending money to find a more efficient path between the end-user and the edge? Isn't the edge already pretty darn close? |
| | > Which digital marketing tactics gave you the most ROI early on? Purchasing backlinks, by far. But it was 2003 and Google didn't have a policy against doing it at the time. We live in a completely different world today. I wouldn't recommend it. > Are there any tools or … |
| | Is the Apple Vision Pro worth it if I already have an Oculus Quest? I'm not a big gamer, but I have my entire wedding recorded in VR, and I love watching mini-movies and shows in 3D VR. My husband is into things like Red Matter. I honestly don't remember … |
 | Reminds me of the decision to pack up and move from New York to California. Best decision I've ever made. |
 | I checked out your website and notice you're using the particles javascript at the bottom of the page. Many, many years ago, we used to use that as well, until we discovered it was causing some people's web browsers to crash, and for others, made the webpage unresponsive for users … |
| | That sounds really interesting. Did you ever launch the SDK? I am a bit in the same boat as you as DaniWeb Connect has an API but I have been really struggling getting it adopted. Sorry I can't be more help to you directly. |
| | Better late than never! Thanks for your post. It looks like it's really helped a few people already. |
| | > Presumably bumping every "coinflip" post to spam their URL Nothing wrong with that!! I'll take a trillion helpful posts if all someone wants in exchange is a free signature link back to their website (that only shows up for logged in members, so no SEO incentive). |
| | Use Cloudflare (free plan is available) and plugins such as WP Rocket or WP Engine. |
| | As you may know, yuo can customize the error pages in Cloudflare, such as for a WAF block, etc. For some reason, since the switchover to the new error pages dashboard, the custom font I always use isn't working. I can see that it converted https://cdn.daniweb.com/font.woff into inline base64 for … |

| | Starting a digital marketing/SEO agency is really tough these days because there are just sooooo many of them. What about your stands out? Play to your strengths. Choose a niche and focus on that. For example, be the absolute *best* SEO agency for car dealerships. (Just a random industry.) Reach … |

 | Any external link that points to your website is technically a backlink by definition. Do you mean they aren’t showing as links in Google Search Console? GSC only shows a subset of backlinks that it knows about. Additionally, quality and relevance of the links matter more than anything else.  |
| | I do realize that backlinks to URLs disallowed via robots.txt do still have whatever Google's modern version of pagerank is. Depending upon how many incoming backlinks there are, even if Google can't crawl a URL, it might use those external signals to still rank the URL in the search results …  |
 | Ugh, I'm so sorry that happened. I've had that happen with two different external hard drives over the years ... both were LaCie drives from a very long time ago. Unfortunately, I never took any steps to try to recover them, and lost the data on them at the time. … |
| | Just as the topic title suggests, any jQuery 4 beta users out there who could let me know what it's like? The wait for v4 gold release is killing me. Also, please don't make fun of me for being a jQuery user. DaniWeb has been built on jQuery for decades. … |
 | It’s because you are spamming your links like you did just here, and I removed it for violating our community rules. |
| | Hello, The easiest way to implement image lazy loading is by simply adding the `loading="lazy"` HTML attribute to `<img>` image tags. That will not load the image until it is about to come into view in the web browser as the user scrolls down the page. Something else that we …  |
| | I'm personally not familiar with Android development, but I'm sure there is app storage. https://developer.android.com/training/data-storage |
 | I agree that they *might* be AI generated, or at least have the help of AI. Sometimes it's hard to tell, and I always want to exercise extreme caution and not delete or infract a post unless I'm 100% confident. I have a bit of a migraine right now, so … |
| | Do you have a specific, niche audience in mind that your content is targeting? What do you envision that audience doing with their free time? Are they students who are going to be in school from 9 am to 4 pm? Are they parents of young kids who are going … |
| | It depends what you’d like to build. If a simple website, you can use HTML and CSS. Want some interactivity? Add JavaScript. Want to create more complex dynamic websites? You will need a backend language such as PHP and a database such as MySQL. I see you also tagged this … |
| | It seems as if you have to ask, you already know. ;) |
| | Official Bootstrap themes: https://themes.getbootstrap.com/product-category/admin-dashboard/ |
| | As Harry points out, my first guess would be to check robots.txt and ensure you aren't blocking any pages from SEMRush. Also make sure you aren't using a CDN or proxy like Cloudflare that is blocking it from their side. |
| | As you may know from other threads in these forums, I'm a huge supporter of Upwork. I know that they've chosen to no longer work with anyone in Russia. I believe Toptal still has a presence in Russia, so you could try there. You could also just try Googling for … |
| | Linux has come a long way, but it's still primarily a server OS, correct? How many of you linux fanboys and girls use it as your primary operating system for daily tasks? How does it compare to Windows or macOS in terms of productivity and overall user experience? |
 | Considering Google BERT was integrated into Google searches 7 years ago, strategies shouldn't really be evolving and adapting nowadays. However, I get what you're saying. Traditional keyword-based techniques stopped being effective in the early 2000s. Of course, you should always prioritize content quality and user intent. https://developers.google.com/search/docs/fundamentals/creating-helpful-content  |
The End.
