| | 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? |
| | I am pretty sure it has been proven that Google penalizes for landing pages with popup/popunder windows, because it negatively affects the user's experience. I was just wondering if they do the same for JavaScript-based modal windows? Or if they are even able to detect them?? |
| | 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 … |
