 | Not at all. Never heard of any of those, sorry. Perhaps what you found was that the SEO company is paying bloggers to link to their clients' websites within blog entries in order to gain backlinks. (Backlinks are links from other content-rich sites that link to your site, increasing your …  |
| | Is AdSense smart about which ad types to use for each ad unit? For example, I have an ad unit that performs really well with Images but not Flash, and vice versa with another one. I know that Google says that they will always try to put the highest performing … |
| | Hi there, Don't be discouraged. It *IS* possible to be successful in the search engines without any money at all. Read up about doing on page and off page optimization (on page = h1 tags, keyword density, etc and off page = links from other sites).  |
| | I'm not sure why this would be. The new version loads a LOT faster, has fewer images, calls far fewer external JavaScript files, has far less advertising and contacts far less third party servers. |
| | Don't worry. Already had a chat with the designer about this one early this morning. Working on a solution.  |
 | I also agree that divs load faster. People can steal your images either way ;) Table people can use table background="/temp/img.jpg" - In any case, I still say divs. The DaniWeb header, footer, and nearly all of the homepage are all div tags. Anyone find it not cross-browser compatible? Personally … |
| | I'm not sure what PTC means either. |

 | Re: C++ Academic Goodness gracious ... must you really? After I spent all that time making a new section just for links? ;) In any case I already live at cplusplus.com as it is :P Catcha latah  |
 | The reason not to have so many links is because it comes off as unnatural to the search engines ... If a link is supposed to be a "vote" for that page, and you vote for half the Internet, there's just way too much dilution to make any of your …  |
| | Abused my knowledge of computers? No, never, nope, not me ... What exactly do you mean by *abused* ?? Nothing illegal ... I don't play around in the IRCs although I used to run an FTP site and distribute bootleg movies. |
| | Have you tried checking your mail by going to [url="http://www.hotmail.com"]www.hotmail.com[/url] ? The Hotmail website was having some problems awhile back and I'm not sure if MSN Mail is just really Hotmail with a new skin or not. Also, did you know that you can check @msn.com and @hotmail.com mail through …  |
 | Firstly, have you made over $100 so far? Google only sends out payments that are over $100. Secondly, Google pays NET 30, which means that they first send out the check or e-check at the end of the following month after it's earned. (This means that you will receive a … |
| | There are a handful of keyword tools out there. Unfortunately, I don't know of any offhand, but a quick Google search should do the trick. The right keywords are not only relevant but also receive a good amount of search traffic and also are "achievable" goals. For example, it might … |
| | > Google usually composes its own page description based on the text of the first paragraph of the indexed page Actually, the abstract you see in the Google search results is usually the paragraph containing the keywords searched for.  |
| | I've never heard of them either. However, you're on the right track if you want to use social networking to grow traffic to your site. Start by using tools such as AddThis.com to encourage your users to bookmark and share and syndicate your content on their Twitter, Facebook, etc. |
| | There really are too many individual things to name. A well-SEO'ed site has a lot of good, useful, unique content, a really good navigational structure, very clean HTML markup, makes proper use of all HTML tags (<h1> tags for topic headers, <blockquote> tags if you're quoting something, etc etc etc), … |
| | I guess it has to do with SEO because no one at all is really going to ever click on a pixel you buy off of some million dollar homepage clone site, so the only reason someone would do it is because they would do something such as spend $100 … |
| | Hi, I am trying to do a three level suckerfish dropdown menu (live top navigation menu). However, I want to make it semi-transparent. It works fine in FF, Chrome, etc. However, there is an IE bug where if an element is transparent, then any children of that element cannot render … |
| | Hi there ... Is this possible to partner with someone to manage your SEO? Yes, it is! There are a lot of people who work in the Internet marketing industry as consultants for a retainer. Because you are a nonprofit, some SEOs may be willing to work for you pro … |
 | Re: What is daniweb? DaniWeb is based off of the vBulletin forum system. The rest of our cms is custom coded around the vB framework. vB itself is also heavily hacked. |
 | Yes, I know. :) It's a known bug but it's low on my priority list. |
| | That's because Hardware is a category. You need to drill down into one of the Hardware forums such as CPUs or Video Cards. Click on the Hardware category title to see the list of available forums. |
| | I'm going through the list of forums we have and giving them an overhaul. Technologies change, trends change, what was popular 5 years ago might not be so today. So far, I've revamped Windows, Mac, Linux, Hardware and Networking. Biggest changes to make note of => The Linux Servers and … |
| | Is it possible that your motherboard has USB 1.1 ports, while the USB devices are USB 2.0. Actually, nevermind. It's too early in the morning for me - if this is the scenerio, the USB 2.0 devices will work, but just at a reduced speed. Nevermind this rant. |
| | > I don't plan on participating here You just did. Now keep yourself logged in and you'll never see it again.  |
 | A 'start new thread' button has been added to the top of the page. |
| | Server side is code executed by the web server. Client side is code executed by the web browser of the person viewing the site. JavaScript and HTML are examples of client-side markup. |
 | The button is going back. It's just taking awhile to figure out how to specify the width of the button.  |
| | Re: How do I post? Gary, SAC originally posted his question as a reply to some other thread. I split it off and moved it to this forum. SAC instead of clicking post reply while viewing a thread, click new post while viewing a forum.  |
| | I think he's saying that he actually uses the PayPal service (and therefore, the scripts they have running on their site). They don't offer any scripts.  |
| | It's an algorithm based on both views and replies. If you hover over, you'll see the number of views and replies that it is based on.  |
 | |
| | This latest version of DanWeb uses AJAX more heavily than the previous version, and our toolkit of choice is JQuery. All of the warnings are related to the CSS for JQuery UI. However, warnings in CSS often mean that, to ensure cross-browser compatibility, we often include some CSS declarations that … |
| | They have existed for the past two years?? Even in the old design. |

 | You have two options. Option one = you can have multiple subscription folders. You can separate all threads to follow up with in a separate subscription folder. Option two = you can stop automatically subscribing to threads you post in. Just use the subscribed threads feature for threads you want … |

| | Baidu is a very popular Chinese search engine. |
| | Even when NIS is turned off, it is still running in the background and still does affect stuff. I've found this out the hard way with Norton Personal Firewall in the past. Try actually killing all of the NIS processes that are running and then let us know if that … |
| | Pigs still don't fly, but they might as well, because Google finally decided to open up about their AdSense revenue share (read: the percentage of money they take in that they split with AdSense publishers). The [url="http://adsense.blogspot.com/2010/05/adsense-revenue-share.html"]official blog article[/url] discloses that AdSense for content publishers earn a 68% revenue share … |

| | Congrats Jimmy - you found work :) Is it a steady job? Seems like a strange job to me ;) LOL Anyways, great to have you back man. TechTalk wasn't the same without you ... you were our second member to join!  |

| | Whoa. I just stumbled upon this thread. Kudos to you meabed! |
The End.
