 | I just tweeted "Stabbing at Comic-Con resulted from atendees fighting over the better seat to see Seth Rogen" ... It is sad and pathetic that I had to tweet that.  |
| | If they're in the Sitemap.xml file and they were previously in Google's index, then that means that google definitely knows they exist. Google's algorithm has made the decision, for one reason or another, that they aren't important enough to send traffic to. Perhaps they need more freshly updated content. Or … |
 | From what I've been hearing for a very long time, Google actually gives penalties for duplicate keywords. |
| | Not sure what you mean? It is currently considered unethical SEO / black hat SEO to purchase links solely to increase search engine rankings. Sometimes it works. Sometimes it doesn't. Are you asking whether people should do it themselves or hire a company? |
 | There is a link at the bottom saying Threads I've Started.  |
| | First of all, great to have you as a member frisky :) What mouse are you using? Is it the Apple Pro mouse? A two button or three button mouse? Did you install the mouse drivers or let the OS just use the default drivers? Also, what OS are you … |
 | We get no traffic from Yahoo! either. I think it's because Yahoo! themselves get virtually no traffic. ;) |
| | Yes, keyword density is important, but a different way today than it was in the past. Previously, the more repetitively a keyword was mentioned, the better it would rank. Toooo excessive though, and it could begin to work against you. Today, search engines are getting smarter and smarter at being … |
 | :( Dave will definitely be very missed. I don't think that DaniWeb will be the same without him. |
 | You can sort listings by thread start time instead of last post time.  |
 | Yes. I am not so sure you'd be penalized as much as the search engines will just discount the meta tags entirely. |
| | Re: innodb vs myisam This thread should answer your question: [url="http://www.daniweb.com/techtalkforums/thread40911.html"]http://www.daniweb.com/techtalkforums/thread40911.html[/url] |
 | By default we don't save a copy of messages in sent items because then the message is in our database twice (once in someone's inbox and a second time in someone else's outbox), and we try to conserve as many resources as possible. |
| | We get just about all of our SE traffic from Google. All the other search engines amount to just barely a fraction of a percent! |

| | Does it operate on a CPC model? I would just stick with AdWords now that they offer demographic targeting. When FB's marketplace first came out it was unique in that there was all this demographic targeting you couldn't do elsewhere, but AdWords is just as feature-rich, if not more so, … |
| | Google AdWords tends to do well with ad campaigns that need to back out into a performance-based metric (leads, purchases, etc). There is also always the social media angle (Twitter, YouTube channel, etc) |
| | I have a Linksys router (WAN = cable modem) connected to a Linksys gigabit switch in addition to a Linksys Wireless G router. My XBOX 360 is connected via CAT6 to either the router or the switch - I forget which one and my cables are so crazy underneath my … |
| | People use short URLs for twitter because there is a low character limit and in most cases full URLs are too long to fit. If you care about SEO, make sure that you use a URL shortener that does a 301 Permanent Redirect to the full URL so that "seo … |
| | Has anyone received their AdSense payment for October yet? It doesn't even say my check went out yet nevermind having received it. I e-mailed AdSense a lil under 2 weeks ago to make sure I correctly submitted the tax information and they said I did. I just e-mailed them again … |
 | Click the button in the bottom purple toolbar that says Threads I've Posted In.  |
| | The idea is that your content should be good enough that you will constantly grow links naturally. A link building campaign is a good start to grow traffic to a page, but the content should be good enough that once the page has a decent amount of traffic, people will … |
 | Re: Daniweb DaniWeb's forums are based on the vBulletin forum system. It's not free but it's reasonably priced for what it is capable of at just under $200 for a license. However, not only are the forums highly customized, but all of the other features the site offers are coded in house … |
| | Are your videos related to your website content? Do they add value to your website? Are you giving visitors who watch the YouTube videos a good reason why they should instantly follow up with a visit to your site? That last question is the doosey. |
| | [i]I found this in a few different places around the 'net - hopefully it's helpful:[/i] [font=Arial][size=5][color=#0000ff]Correcting System Hang at Startup [/color][/size][size=2]If your system hangs about 2 or 3 minutes at startup, where you can't access the Start button or the Taskbar, it may be due to one specific service (Background … |
| | I send out an e-bulletin every couple of months. It's a plain text e-mail newsletter to forum members, although I'm considering moving over to HTML. I'm thinking about selling an ad per newsletter. What do you think? Should it be a text ad? If I move over to an HTML … |

| | Hey guys, Well, our new design is launched, our DaniWeb event is behind us, and I'm starting to settle back into a routine. That means I have some time on my hands (not really, but I can dream). In any case, I thought it was a good time to ask …  |
| | I think that Google is constantly in flux and constantly changing its algorithm non-stop. Every so often (more and more rarely) they do have a major rollout but things are constantly changing. |
| | When you flag a bad post, a thread is created in a hidden queue of submitted reports, where moderators act on each submission as a ticketing system of sorts. All you're really doing is calling a moderator's attention to the post. :) If you want, flag the post again with … |
| | Hi, I just want to let everyone know that, unfortunately, our user table became corrupt today and we do not have a recent backup. Unfortuantely, we lost about 40 users. Some of these users currently do not exist in the database at all and the other 25 or so do … |
| | It is against our rules, and the rules of many forums, to plug your site or affiliate links within posts. |
 | I don't know anything about GoDaddy's built-in ecommerce solutions, but if you're just selling one product quick 'n' simple you may want to consider PayPal? |
| | I think that how prominent a keyword is within your content is how many times it is repeated/mentioned throughout the copy. |
| | Because everyone knows Google is awesome. :)  |
 | Hi, Thanks for the bug report. :) Will investigate ... although it seems to be a bug report that's existed for a very long time already. |
| | |
| | Re: Forum Database A new table for each thread is like a separate hard drive for each Word document you save! I think what you mean is you want to create one database. One table in the database contains all of the threads. And then columns for replier_name, date, text and category_name. |
| | vBulletin designs run from anywhere between $100 and $800, depending upon the quality, the experience level, etc. It really varies greatly - just like any web design. Unfortunately there isn't a way [b]that I know of[/b] to add a direct download to PayPal. What you can do is set up … |

| | Re: Best Tool There are a handful of really good free SEO tools ... just Google for them. Also, as joelchrist suggests, use google webmaster tools.  |
| | Do you think that it might finally be time to go install the ol' antivirus software on a trusty OS X system? |
| | Re: Dinner with Dani David Doria was there, as was one of our former news story staff writers Eddie Correia. My friend Dan (incissor / samaru) was also there, DaniWeb's very first member ([url]http://www.daniweb.com/forums/member12.html[/url]). How have I changed, hehe? :)  |
| | No clue but if I had to take a stab in the dark, I'd say that it's all about optimizing the page for the end user and not for the search engine bots. The sites that rank the best in the search engines are the ones that don't seem like …  |
| | |
 | I think I'm a lil confused. It seems to me that big_k doesn't want to pay a webhost to serve his website. Rather, he wants to open his own web hosting company. And lets say he has clients that he advertises 100mb to, for example. He wants to know how … |
| | Google Analytics is the best free option available IMO. Is there a reason you want to look beyond it? |
The End.
