 | Has anyone noticed the new graphical icons that are appearing in text-based AdSense ads? I started to notice them in eBay and then later for a register.com ad. I'm attaching a screenshot in case anyone is interested. |
 | The color coding was accomplished by a perl syntax highlighter known as the beautifier ([url="http://www.beautifier.org/"]www.beautifier.org[/url]), later ported to php. Alternatively, there are two built-in php functions known as highlight_string() and highlight_file() which output syntax highlighted PHP. For example, [php] <?php highlight_string('<?php phpinfo(); ?>'); ?> [/php] For more information, [url="http://us4.php.net/manual/en/function.highlight-string.php"]http://us4.php.net/manual/en/function.highlight-string.php[/url] [url="http://us4.php.net/manual/en/function.highlight-file.php"]http://us4.php.net/manual/en/function.highlight-file.php[/url] |

 | Re: hit counters Unfortunately you can't make a hit counter in either JavaScript or DHTML (and I'm assuming that's what you wanted to do, since you posted in the JavaScript and DHTML forum). You see, a hit counter needs some way of keeping track of how many hits you've received so far - … |
| | Re: question Do you mean JSP? It stands for Java Servlet Pages. It's a technology which takes the power of Java and allows you to use it as a backend language for websites. |
 | Re: CTR questions CTR represents clickthru rate. It is the percentage (sometimes represented as a decimal, however) of those viewing the ad who click on it. Average CTR has been publicized to be about 0.5% for banner ads, and as much as four times that (2.0%) for text-based advertising. Your absurdly large results … |
| | Trolls are pains because they're hard as heck to get rid of. So I, too, would prefer the spammer to the troll. If someone's blatantly trolling but not violating any written rules, it's time to update the site rules. Every forum's site rules should include a no trolling clause ;) |
| | Do you have any folders (junk mail, deleted mail, sent mail) that are simply enormous? Perhaps extensive mail rules are slowing it down (does Mail even support this feature?) I use Entourage myself, and I'm quite happy with it. Did you do an upgrade from Panther to Tiger or a …  |
| | I apologize for not replying to your e-mail. I actually don't remember seeing it so it's possible my SPAM filter caught it before it landed in my inbox. (Email must actually pass through three layers of SPAM protection before there's even a chance I'll get to it.) The following is … |
| | Unfortunately, questions such as this are a bit too involved for this site to handle in most case. I would ask your question over at [url="http://www.vbulletin.com"]www.vbulletin.com[/url] if you haven't already. Please make sure that you are trying to upload a file you're sure is smaller than the maximum file size … |
| | I hate to complicate things further but I would just like to make you guys aware of a newer technology known as AJAX which lets interactive PHP code to be executed or elements on a page to be altered without doing full page reloads. I don't know much about it … |
| | Google definitely favors links that are part of sentences and phrases as opposed to standalone. The best way to do it is [html]<a href="http://www.mysite.com/">keyword</a> service for free[/html] Notice how it's a phrase or sentence with only the keyword hyperlinked, so as to not dilute the keyword value in the link. …  |
| | Use DHTML - similar to the dropdowns that appears in certain areas here on DaniWeb. For example, see the Thread Tools menu just above? Check out [url="http://www.dynamicdrive.com"]www.dynamicdrive.com[/url] for some handy DHTML things you can do. Also, sometimes a little bit of CSS is all you need! |
| | Please help me! I seem to have fallen into a google slump. In April, the site was redone with a new navigation scheme. Soon after, the latest version of my mod_rewrite hack was applied, which changed around a bunch of the links. (More stuff was mod_rewritten than ever before). At … |
| | Hello cybersaber! Welcome to DaniWeb. I had to snip our your URL because this forum is a place to introduce yourself, not introduce / advertise your website. Please don't plug in here ;) Thanks! |
| | Anyone have any clue what's been going on with DaniWeb lately. They're reporting I have a million backlinks ... and I don't have near a million pages? ;) In addition, I've been hearing of a PR update going on. With a million backlinks, don't you think I should be at … |

| | Out of only twelve options to select, I'm a bit surprised that one of them is Slashdot. Targeted towards techies (more specifically, OSTG open source techies), it's obviously such a niche audience I'm surprised Google is including it. |

| | All that I can suggest is calling Microsoft's toll-free number to take care of this. It's a pretty efficient system, doesn't take longer than a minute. And it's a lot cheaper than buying another retail Windows XP license ;) I've called up in the past, quickly explained the situation, and …  |
| | Suppose a site generates all of its revenue via Google AdSense. Is it best to put an AdSense banner in the same spot consistantly throughout the site? Or is it best to use different variations of the ad size and ad placement on different pages? Which is more user friendly? … |
| | Whoa! First I must commend you on 40,000+ posts per month, that is QUITE the amazing accomplishment. I can only dream DaniWeb will one day get that big. However, I do understand the problem, and I think it's the same one that nearly all forums suffer from. The problem is … |
| | 1.25 x 100 = 125 23 x 100 = 2300 19.99 x 100 = 1999 Whether there is or isn't a decimal place, multiplying by 100 should work. No? |

| | Re: cPanel???????? cPanel is a popular server maintenance software that is often used for webhosting accounts. It is very possible that many major sites use cPanel. Personally, I am not a fan, but instead use their major competitor, Plesk, here on DaniWeb. I'm not sure why you might be seeing that on … |
| | Re: Google Ranking Just once is more than enough. Even that isn't necessary ;) Google finds your site by reaching it from other sites that link to you - thus the nature of the world wide web - a giant network of hyperlinks. Therefore, the key to getting high rankings on google is … |
| | Absolutely! You should check out our links page more often ;) |
 | Re: which degree I, along with inscissor, have majors in Computer Science and minors in Business Computer Information Systems (basically a CIS degree brought to you by the university's business school). Comp Sci definitely holds a lot more weight. CIS is really good if you want to do less science / math theory … |
 | A feature that will be coming very soon is the ability to syndicate blogs via RSS feeds. I'm not familiar with GnomeBlogger at all. I did a Google search and am still sorta confused. Can you shed some light on the subject please? Thanks! |
| | REALbasic is comparable to VB6 - perhaps a little more stripped down than even that. I have the mac version and wasn't aware there was a windows equivalent. Good alternative to doing VB-style coding on the mac platform (OSX native). I would also assume that if Microsoft is putting out … |
| | Re: Domains You tell the domain's registrar service - be it Network Solutions, GoDaddy, etc - to point to your DNS server. |

| | Hey there vord. You guessed it, it's custom written. While Morgan conned me into releasing my mod_rewrite tutorial ;) I would rather keep everything else I have on DaniWeb exclusive to DaniWeb. Tech forums nowadays are a dime a dozen, and it's our unique portal, blogs, code snippets, tutorials, irc … |
| | People would rather give their birthday instead of their year of birth. For example, I don't mind telling a forum that my birthday is November 11th so that this way, every year on my birthday, the forum system sends me a little happy birthday email :) (DaniWeb does this, for … |
| | I saw it available for download yesterday. But I was busy doing schoolwork so I figured I'd check it out later. And, alas, it's no longer offered! |
| | That would be great if only I could think of anything. What, oh what, do I have to offer? I don't deal with retail at all, and it would be counterproductive to offer some free advertising. Any ideas? |
| | [QUOTE=OurNation]What site is it?[/QUOTE] No site-specific talk is allowed in this forum. |
| | Sorry, no experience with FindWhat. Although they are relatively small compared to Google or Overture. Do their sponsored results show up on other partner sites? Have you tried an AdWords campaign? I've found it to be more cost-effective than Overture. Good luck!! |
| | Thanks for the read. I remember back in the day when it was big news that Steve Jobs did this. |
| | PR and Alexa both have something very important in common - they are both ridiculously unreliable and a bad gauge of your SEO. Let's begin with PR. Google's algorithm is based on an internal PR that they secretely assign to every webpage. However, this isn't the value that they display … |
