Hi, I'm completely desperate for some help. I am getting a handful of reports that DaniWeb keeps crashing the web browser. Most of these reports are coming in from Firefox. Supposedly the problem is fairly consistent. I *cannot* duplicate the problem no matter how hard I've tried. I spend a …

This bug should be fixed now. Can you verify? Also, if you are anti-ad, I recommend you disable ads in your member profile. It makes the spots go away :)

I think that you can successfully get all pages to rank in Google if you do it right. Ideally, you'd want each article to be hosted by a country-specific domain (i.e. site.com/page.html, site.es/page.html, site.jp/page.html, etc) and set Google Webmaster Tools to target a specific country for each domain. I would …

Hi, Thank you for your feedback :) Firstly, however, what "purple line" do you keep referring to? What a lot of people fail to realize is that advertisers and publishers don't mind most ad blockers. Most advertisers pay either each time someone clicks on their ad or each time someone …

I think I'm still confused why any additional functionality is required. How many use cases are necessary in which one would need to add backticks to inline code in such a case where using the backslash to escape the backtick is too inconvenient? Additionally, Markdown has been designed in such …

1. White hat seo is what is endorsed by Google. Black hat seo is when you use tricky tactics to fool google into ranking higher. 2. It's good to get quality backlinks from quality articles. 3. I don't think that directories do much nowadays. 4. It's good to promote your …

Hi ... We are actually on an *entirely* new platform now, so it would take forever to go through a list of everything that's changed recently. I am sure that once you start browsing around a bit and posting, you'll find things are much more intuitive and easier! Unfortunately, at …

Double-click on the code as if you were doing a Select All to copy and paste it.

I had no idea. Thanks for letting me know. Should be fixed now :) I was attempting to fix the problem that Firefox is randomly crashing for people and I guess I screwed this up in the process. It's soooo hard to diagnose a problem that I can't replicate!

In the advertising industry, an impression is a view of an ad, and a click is a click of the ad. The CTR (or click-thru rate), is the ratio of clicks to impressions.

You should always be continuing your seo work. I'm confused by your question. You're saying you lost ranking and want to know if you should work harder? The answer is yes. Always yes. Even if you are #1 it can always get better.

The system has to think you're on a mobile device, in which the bottom toolbar is disabled since it doesn't display correctly on the iPhone, iPad, and other devices. We're built on the CodeIgniter PHP framework and use CI's built in mobile detection based on user agents: $mobiles = array( …

Yes. When we redid the entire site, it's apparently taking Google awhile to recrawl everything and get a feel for the new DaniWeb URLs and structure.

There is no way to know what your site's Pagerank is. The Google PR toolbar is obsolete and Google doesn't disclose what their Pagerank algorithm really is. We know that backlinks contribute to Pagerank, but we don't know the details. Therefore, you have no way of really knowing if your …

Hi and welcome to DaniWeb :) A lot of people blame the forums for taking too long to receive replies. The biggest factor, however, is how well you phrase your questions. We're a community of members helping members, and everyone here volunteers their time. So if you don't show any …

You need to uniquely identify the record ID in order to distinguish loading record 3 from record 4. Or, do you want to just go to findanagent_details.php and have record 4 automatically load 100% of the time?

We've been approaching the big one million for a loooong time now. Ever since we took down the nag window to encourage registrations, we've been getting just a small fraction of the number of sign-ups as we used to.

Hi, Is it possible to tell how many AdWords impressions are doing placement-targeting (aka site-targeting) to a particular channel? I know that I can pull up an AdSense report which shows a cross section of a particular channel with placement targeting, but it's possible the advertiser is targeting the entire …

> I'd like to see that link made a sticky somewhere so that we can refer to it easily. It appears within every single editor, right above the Undo/Redo buttons. Certainly easier to find than a sticky ;)

Glad you got it working. I fixed code tags for you. Could you maybe post what you were able to do to fix your code so it might be able to help others in the future?

Don't keyword stuff your titles. They are the headlines that will show up in the search engines and need to encourage people to click. You can rank #1 for as many terms as you want, but if your page titles aren't enticing, you still will get no traffic.

The minimum ten major properties of web 2.0? Is this a homework question or something? O'Reilly originally coined the term Web 2.0 to be synonymous with the interactive web ... A version of the web that acts more like complete applications instead of just hyperlinked documents. Web 2.0 has carved …

New feature ... The bottom toolbar for logged in members has a button to Recently Viewed Articles. Track where you've been on the site. :) For example, suppose you were reading an article earlier in the day but then got sidetracked and can't find it again.

DaniWeb is written using CodeIgniter. I don't really have any experience with other frameworks, but I do like that it's not very in-your-face. It's super lightweight, and I can take advantage of what I want to take advantage of, and do everything else my own way (to the extent of …

An ethical SEO firm is one that only uses white hat SEO techniques (as opposed to black hat). Black hat techniques might have huge benefits at first, but they are also very risky and can get your site blacklisted by Google because they use shady techniques against Google's policies. Examples …

I would add the `/Get_a_quote/` directory to your robots.txt file. I do this whenever there are many pages with near identical content. It is a directive telling the search engine bots not to crawl the directory. Specifically, if it doesn't already exist, create a file called robots.txt at the root …

Does PR even mean anything anymore? I didn't know anyone still looked at toolbar PR. Google has announced that it no longer cooresponds to the internal PR they use in their algorithms.
