| | I currently use Sphinx search, and am attempting to sort my results in time segments mode, which means time segments in descending order and then relevance in descending order.

| | From an SEO perspective, you would want different pages for the varying content. This way, each individual menu would rank in Google when searching for the particular food that it offers. |
| | I've been on a mission lately to improve the quality of content, especially within the dev forums. This means more native English speakers, more professionals, fewer homework cheaters, etc. Is anyone starting to see any improvements? |
| | Unfortunately, it's not possible. DaniWeb currently sends HTML email only. Perhaps this is something to change in the future. (vBulletin, by default, actually offers only plain text email, and I altered it to send HTML email instead.) |
| | SilverLight is coded with the .NET Framework, and we encourage programming related questions to be posted within our .NET Framework forum.

| | Keyword trackers let you keep track of how many searches specific keywords get in Google, so you can estimate how much traffic you would get by focusing your efforts on those short-tail keywords, and which keywords are the most worthwhile and which have the most competition.  |
| | Well isn't it the idea that all websites be up 24/7? In any case, a blog adds a lot of "authority" and unqiue content to your domain, from an SEO perspective. It adds overall weight and value to the domain name. |
 | I don't believe they will, especially since what you're proposing is a common way of rewriting URLs nowadays. However, for the absolute best navigation hierarchy (for both seo and usability, of course), it's a really good idea to actually create default pages for the two folders as part of your … |
| | 1) Yes, if everything on your site are movies. Otherwise, you might wish to add another level to your directory structure such as [url]www.sitename.com/movies/moviename[/url] and [url]www.sitename.com/tv/tvshowname[/url]. 2) Not sure what you mean here. Is the information about all your 3500 films in a database? What is currently in the movie.php … |

| | I assume you are a publisher and you are trying to put advertising on your site through the Yahoo! Publisher Network (aka YPN). Tried YPN once many years ago, but from what I understand it's not nearly as good as Google Analytics. I recall a bunch of people beta testing … |
| | Never heard of it until you brought it up. Turns out it's a term coined by a guy in an article for the Search Engine Journal -- [url]http://www.searchenginejournal.com/for-keyword-targeting-in-paid-search-beware-the-galaxy-effect/27788/[/url] Basically, he is saying that you should always have a broad reach that expands beyond those who are already loyal to you. |
| | We have a modal "nag window" that appears to non-logged in users when they arrive at a forum thread from a Google search. The modal can be closed out of by clicking anywhere else on the page (which is grayed out when the modal is displayed.) A couple of times … |

| | [QUOTE=bjeffries;1475931]Anyone have any insight on this? ... the weird thing is I got an email saying someone replied to this and I dont see anything.[/QUOTE] This happened because a spammer replied to your thread, but then a moderator deleted their post.

| | Use CAPTCHA images during the registration process, require users to activate their emails by clicking a link, permanently ban members when their email addresses bounce back (don't delete them because then they can recreate their accounts), and block email domains if you see they're being used primarily by spammers (@yahoo.com … |
| | Hi, Thank you for being a DaniWeb supporter :) I recall an announcement about a year ago or so saying that Google was significantly increasing the weight they put on the age of domains, meaning that a site listed in DMOZ and the Yahoo! directory for ten years carries a … |
| | Essentially you are dangling great content in front of people as bait. It's so enticing, they just can't help but link to it! Link baiting is creating great content that people will naturally want to link to. It makes your job easier trying to get people to link to you, … |

| | What is the difference between <div align="center"> and <div style="text-align:center"> aside from the obvious difference that the latter is CSS? |

| | Yes, you always want to use a different IP address for each site. Google associates sites on the same IP block as being affiliated, which means that if one site gets banned or devalued in the Google index for blackhat techniques, they all are hurt. |
| | You need to reference the sitemap in an robots.txt file which gets uploaded to the server. You do not need to link to it from your actual webpage / homepage. The sitemap should always be up-to-date and always contain all the latest pages on your site. |
| | Iframes are very much so not recommended for SEO. yes, Google will be able to crawl to the one page that you are linking to within an iframe. But Google won't get the full picture as to how your site is structured, and you'll lose a lot of PageRank in … |
| | From what I know, BeFree no longer exists and has been replaced by CJ (Commission Junction) ... [url="http://www.cj.com"]www.cj.com[/url] ... I think CJ bought them out or something.

 | Re: Up and Down Vote My response stands. There are two bugs that I hope to have fixed the next time I have time to do an all-day coding session (lately I've been swamped with so much on the business end). Those two things are the ability to take back a vote, and the ability … |

| | It's not quite SEO, but you can "optimize" your Facebook fan page by promoting it on your site. Use the Facebook widgets available. |
| | Re: infinite loop... It looks as if you are automatically assuming that Z is an integer, and then doing some math calculations with it. When it's not an integer, but it's treated as one, you could end up in some sorta loop further down in your program. It looks as if your best … |
