I'm not sure what you mean by what language? SEO isn't a programming language. However, as with anything on the web, it's a good idea to have XHTML/CSS under your belt.

PPC is pay-per-click advertising. It's when you buy advertising by paying for each individual click. Often times, PPC is associated with search engine advertising, such as Google AdWords.

I am thinking (because you are not a bank yourself) you will need to first do a credit/debit card/check payment from one person, and then a wire/ACH transfer to the other person.

The keyword is quality backlinks: give people a reason to want to link to you. Don't spam or plug your website in other forums ... it seems that's what you're doing, and all that will do is give you a bad reputation in your industry.

On DaniWeb, all members can have forum signatures, but they only show up to other registered members of the community.

Forums are a great way to supplement your traffic by making a name for yourself (and your brand) within your niche, by posting to forums within your industry and proving yourself as someone who knows their stuff. However, I'd be hard-pressed to find someone who can rely entirely on them.

Each time an article on your site ranks highly for a particular keyword, regularly create new content about similar keyword phrases.

That kinda would be cool. But it might also just end up coming off as a Twitter-copycat gimmick. :-/ But yeah, cool interesting things to add to the social networking component of DaniWeb would definitely be great. Just need the great ideas ... ;)

Us Long Islanders are bracing ourselves as we prepare for Hurricane Irene ... Some people on the south shore have already been evicted. How bad do you think it's going to be? I don't know what it is with natural disasters lately. So far this year we've been hit with …

Hi Dave, I'm not sure what version of vBulletin you are running, but with the 3.x line, you can do this with template conditionals. Add the following to the <head> section of the SHOWTHREAD template: [code]<if condition="!$threadinfo['replycount']"><meta name="robots" content="noindex" /></if>[/code]

Google AdWords? Post in related forums with a link to your site in your signature (don't spam though!)?

An error-free site is always great from an end-user usability perspective. I think that it might play a small role in site ranking but I am not sure of this. Back links are the primary way to increase site ranking in today's world.

Links pointing to your site (known as backlinks) are used by Google and other search engines as an important factor in how high you rank. Known as your PageRank, the concept is that the more relevant pages across the web that link to you, and the authority of those pages, …

Not sure what you mean by link optimization? Backlinks? You always want a steady number of new links pointing to your site from relevant deep pages on other sites, linking to relevant deep pages on your own site.

You shouldn't have to manually submit your site to any of the search engines anymore. Engines like Google find your site by crawling the web, following links from other sites pointing to your site. The more sites that link to you, and the more "authority" those sites have (based on …

Trackback URLs are used mostly for blogs and sometimes forums. Other blogs that link to a particular article ping the article's trackback URL, and "inform" the blog that their article has been mentioned or quoted.

As far as I know, you'd need the proprietary ATi software. Check ati's website is all I can offer. A friend of mine has an ATi All-in-Wonder video card/built-in tv tuner and the ATi TV Wonder software is the only thing that will work.

Sorry, I don't know much about the real estate niche at all. In fact, how would affiliate marketing even work? Would it be a cost-per-lead for a potential sale to a broker?

I've thought about this many times, but have decided to hold off until the next reincarnation of the DaniWeb design. In the meantime, exploring all of the many vast features of the site is half the experience.

OS X is built on top of BSD. As far as I know, the file system (journaled HFS+) coupled with OS X does not need to be defragmented - it is a process that happens automatically in the background. Perhaps others can clarify?
