They'll also give you information about indexing status of all of the links in Google Webmaster Tools. You can also have an HTML sitemap for your … |

| | Hi there and welcome to DaniWeb!!  |

| | Been moving into the new office and the snowstorms keep putting a damper on things. I've finally got my SVN server set up again in our new office so I can start coding once again. Was there anything anyone wanted me to look at over the past few days? |

 | Received a phone call at like 4 am from the hosting company saying the load balancer was down. Meanwhile, they are supposed to manage the load balancer?! I called James and went back to sleep. |
 | Do you possibly have two email accounts set up with us, where one is an alias of the other? I haven't experienced this and I don't think there are any other complaints. Anyone else experiencing this?????  |
 | They might as well ... Anything they come up with would beat Google+ in a heartbeat. |
 | I have never heard of IP canonicalization. I'm not sure what that is. URL canonicals is when multiple URLs on your website all display the same or very similar content. Typically this happens with dynamic sites. You don't want to bog down or confuse the Google index by having multiple …  |

| | It's okay to hide content due to user interactivity reasons (such as hiding a navigation menu by default that only switches to show when a user hovers their mouse somewhere, for example).

| | For a power workstation, which is better (I'm thinking of doing a RAID 5 configuration). 15K RPM serial-attached SCSI drives, or SATA solid state drives?  |
| | How can I increase the quality of content of people who post here, or in any forum, for that matter? It seems that so many people who post in these Internet Marketing forums are just doing so for the signature links, or to promote their own brand, or posting for … |
| | Re: please help So you want us to list forums and blogs in the same niche as your website but you don't tell us the niche of your website? That's the first thing. The second thing, is please, please, please don't engage in comment and blog spam. It doesn't help you with Google … |
 | Re: Member badges Have already begun consulting with various designers about it. Unfortunately, it's beyond the scope of my own design skills.  |
| | Re: Issues? Both of these issues are related to posts that happened within minutes of each other. There was probably some type of server glitch that stopped the scripts from executing midway through. We'll be switching off of Apache onto Nginx soon, which I hope is going to improve the situation. |

| | I'll investigate to see if there's an easy way to get post replies to work sans javascript. Off the top of my head, though, it was designed with javascript in mind, so I'm not sure if this is entirely possible. As an alternative, try subscribing to our mailing list (option … |
