 | Links within articles I would have to say is #1. |
| | A blog, or weblog, is like an online diary, and can be either personal or professional. Blog articles are the individual entries within a blog. Typically when I just hear the word "article" I think more of something that underwent a formal editorial review, which blogs don't. |
| | Fast page loading and very easy, clear navigation. |
| | Re: Not updating Yeah ... no one was watching the database :( Slave db server is still down but hoping to have it resolved as soon as James' flight lands and I pick him up from the airport and drag him over to my computer.  |
 | So sorry the site has been down for a few hours this early morning. It happened when it was time to switch the clocks back (the servers didn't like that), and James was on a flight to New York to come visit me. The site appears to be working for …  |

| | Never give up, and never get discouraged. It took DaniWeb about a year before we started to break ground. We are now nearly ten years old. Just keep creating new good, quality content, and more and more people will naturally link to it and recommend it to their friends. |
 | I am fully confident that all of the votes from the bots have been removed.  |
| | Pay-per-click can be a valuable tool when used in conjunction with an organic SEO campaign. On DaniWeb, we rely on organic SEO for all our longtail traffic to all of our forum threads. This is where the majority of our ad revenue comes from. However, we then rely on Google … |
| | Re: <strong> or <b> The <em> tag appears italicized by default, and is meant to be used for emphasis on a word or phrase. The <strong> tag appears bold by default, and is meant to be used for strong emphasis on a word or phrase. Even though these tags appear italicized or bold by … |
| | It's fine as long as there is only one web URL used to access a page. For example, you don't want domain1.com and domain2.com showing the same content. But if domain1.com automatically directs to domain2.com when you go to the site, that's fine. It's also fine to have multiple domain … |
| | Don't worry about trying to get more unique visitors right now. If the existing visitors you have all bounce, the better strategy is to work on how to make the most of your existing visitors. Work on lowering your bounce rate, and getting existing users to visit more pages on … |
| | Nofollow is an attribute added to links when you DO NOT vouch for the quality of the link (because it is an advertisement, or it is within user-generated content such as a commenting system where anyone can link to whatever they wish and you have no control over it). Dofollow … |
 | Re: A Milli Target It does't even help with ad revenue. It's great to boast a big number, but no one is going to even pay attention if you boast 846,356 versus 983,245. Big deal ;) We used to increase by about 1,500 new registrations per day. However, then, after complaint after complaint, I …  |
| | Personally I don't see the benefit of directory submissions nowadays. It's always important to gain backlinks, but I would focus on getting links from quality, relevant pages across the web. Not just listings in free-for-all directories.  |
| | I don't think link wheels work anymore. The concept was that a bunch of sites each link to each other, with the "circle" being big enough that Google doesn't catch on. But they know ;) Ooooh they know ;) |

| | Re: how to start PPC You need a credit card. As vanessa suggests, I would start out with Google AdWords. It's powerful and can get complicated, but it also offers a starting point of only a penny a click, and new users get $50 free to start out with. Plus, it's pretty much the de … |
 | Have good, high quality, compelling, unique content that people will naturally want to link to. Gain backlinks naturally. Have clean HTML code that makes proper use of CSS and JavaScript, and follows all the W3C best practices. Use social media and integrate Facebook and Twitter into your site to gain … |
| | You asked this exact question less than a month ago here: [url]http://www.daniweb.com/internet-marketing/promotion-and-marketing-plans/threads/384453[/url] Please don't double-post. Thanks! |
| | Continue to do what you're doing. Don't give up. Work on forming relationships with other sites in your industry. Promote your RSS feeds as a means of getting other relevant sites to syndicate your content (Just titles/blurbs, not full content). |
| | [i]I found this in a few different places around the 'net - hopefully it's helpful:[/i] [font=Arial][size=5][color=#0000ff]Working with Files[/color][/size][/font] [font=Arial][size=2][color=#0000ff]To rename several files at once: [/color][/size][/font] [list] [*][font=Arial][size=2]Select all of them in any folder view, or in the Windows Explorer, rename the FIRST one in the list, and the rest will … |
| | Hi Phil, Unfortunately I have absolutely no experience at all with Website Optimizer, so I probably can't be of much help. However, I noticed that [url]http://secure.ultracart.com[/url] automatically redirects to [url]https://secure.ultracart.com[/url]. I'm wondering if the cross-domain thing doesn't work when switching from the http protocol to https? Have you tried to … |
 | Re: New Sticky Full sympathy because our site search feature always sucked and returned 0 results most of the time. But we're using google search now, and the results rae pretty good. It obviously completely makes sense that people would rather post and wait hours for a response than do a search and …  |
| | Yes, it's legal, because if the job sites didn't want to allow it, they wouldn't be providing RSS feeds to use. However, mashup sites like these (sites that aggregate multiple RSS feeds) tend to not do so well in the search engines, and even worse off since the Google Panda … |
| | Yeah it shouldn't be off by more than 15 minutes for new items, instant for existing items. |
| | The actual link text that is used to hyperlink to a different page. For example, for the link [url=http://www.google.com]Best Search Engine Ever[/url], the anchor text is "best search engine ever", and the URL points to google.com. The concept is that because I am using that anchor text to link to …  |

| | Re: cloaking??? Cloaking is when a single page serves one thing to a website visitor and something completely different to a search engine bot. For example, the website visitor might see the way you want the page to look, but the bot might see something that is completely tailored for optimal SEO, … |
| | I have found that Google sometimes completely rewrites my title tags! Not just shortens them, but often completely rewrites them. It's strange, but not something we have much control over. |
| | Your online reputation can be a very, very powerful thing. Make it good. |
| | Numerous SEO publications are reporting that Google has decided to hide keywords from referral information for everyone logged into their Google account when they perform a search. What this means is that sites will no longer know what keywords were typed in to land at the resulting page. It's really … |
| | Link laundering sites are a blackhat technique in which a lot of sites owned by the same webmaster are all designed to link out to lots of other sites, in exchange for those sites to all be linking back to the single high quality site also owned by the webmaster. … |
 | Re: PayPal Quiz You can set up a survey at SurveyMonkey.com ... They're good for that. Not so sure how to integrate that with PayPal though. |
| | Breadcrumb navigation is pretty much standardized nowadays. |
| | I believe they are not a network but instead simply a company which produces DART, an ad server. In other words, as a publisher, you would pay them for their DART service to serve advertising you sell yourself. |

| | Re: Link wheel? This question has been asked about 10 times over the past week. [url]http://www.daniweb.com/internet-marketing/search-engine-optimization/threads/383068[/url] |
| | I went ahead and renamed the 'Contribute News Stories' forum to the 'Contribute Editorial' forum because that is specifically its purpose, and it can work just as well with tutorials as with news stories. [url]http://www.daniweb.com/community-center/contribute-editorial/178[/url] Anything that you post in there can only be seen by yourself as well as … |
| | You can use our thread subscription feature. You can create multiple subscription folders and subscribe to various threads in each folder, as a way of grouping them. Also, you can make use of the Threads I've Started link at the bottom of every page. |
| | Re: Drupal. It was a CMS (content management system) written in PHP. I haven't seen people use it in years. |
| | Sorry I have taken so long to make my way into this thread. I actually sorta like the idea of having pretty charts and graphs, mostly because I've been doing so much in advertising and marketing lately. I've been swayed to the dark side. If I can come up with … |

| | Lots of quality backlinks, great useful, unique information on the site, clean HTML code that follows all the best SEO practices, and a good navigation structure. |

| | Since switching to this design, the number of new threads posted daily has decreased by 75%. New posts, new registrations, and traffic has remained consistant. Is the "new thread" button really hard to locate? Confusing? What is wrong? |
| | Each individual page should only target one or two keywords. The keywords shouldn't be repeated in an unnatural way. They should be built naturally into the content. |
The End.
