 | I just got a message in my Google Webmaster Tools saying that "Googlebot found an extremely high number of URLs on your site". The last time that I got this message was right around the time that Google Panda hit the first time, so I'm a little worried. However, the … |
 | You currently earn reputation points for activities such as giving reputation and marking threads solved. An upcoming feature we're working on here in the office is creating a swag store where we'll be selling those tshirts with all the funny sayings on them, etc, to earn some extra revenue. We're … |
 | Sorry, it's a bug. I set it up earlier today but it was only supposed to do that for newbie members. None of you guys should have been affected. Give me a few mins to fix it.  |
| | There are a million different ways to earn money online. What specifically are you interested in? Blogging? Affiliate? A new concept for a social media website ... The choices are infinite. |
| | This is a very quick 'n' simple vBulletin SEO hack. It's easy to apply and it's the one I have been using here on DaniWeb for the past couple of months. I was going to wait until we went vB 3.5 to release it but I might as well do … |
| | I think I'm confused as to what you mean by "google brand links"?? I do remember reading somewhere that a factor in Google's latest algorithm (or so people think) is to favor big brands. We've certainly gone that route, encouraging backlinks and even our own page titles to emphasize our … |
| | Re: web beacon??? This question was just asked a few weeks ago: [url]http://www.daniweb.com/internet-marketing/search-engine-optimization/threads/390146[/url] Please search before starting a new thread. Thanks!  |
| | No, that's about it. It's used by third parties to do data mining and collect statistics on a website's audience. Sometimes it can be used to automatically popup a survey for a certain random percentage of visitors, to help collect demographic information. |

| | A char variable represents a single character, such as a single letter or symbol. It cannot be used for a string such as "Kevin" ... Have you learned about arrays yet? Generally a string is represented as an array of characters. I'm not sure which textbook you're using, but it …  |
| | Re: Pi Approximation [QUOTE=essentialc++33]Approximation value of pi is 3.466667.[/QUOTE] Don't you mean ~3.1415 ... ?? |
| | DFP Small Business offers a feature where you can display a creative on a page of your site, for testing purposes. This feature always worked using the Google Ad Manager tag. However, it completely doesn't work using the asynchronous version of the Google Publisher Tag (with single request enabled). Has … |
| | [icode]$pages = ceil(mysql_result($num, 0 / $per_page));[/icode] You are missing a close parenthesis, causing the syntax error. |
| | In fact, Google recommends submitting new domains manually, and then letting link popularity dictate how often and how deep they will be spidered. |
| | |
| | I have no clue what you're asking, sorry. |
| | Buy an SSL certificate from a company such as VeriSign. |
| | Google's new algorithm update, which takes advantage of the Caffeine infrastructure, is being said to impact 35% of searches on the web (Compared to Panda's measly 12%). Rolling out today, it's said to target "freshness" of content. :) Uh oh! |
 | For me, the only domains that are worth anything are the ones that have been previously used. They may already be driving some traffic and they're already on the search engine radar. |

 | Boot up your computer with the sidepanel off of the case. Listen and look which fans are causing the problem - the CPU fan, which case fans, etc. |
| | I am behind a switch and a cable modem, and sometimes this happens to me, too. I actually have to go into my Linksys switch control panel, and renew my cable modem's IP address, and suddenly it all works again. No idea why - I'm sure it's because I probably …  |
| | Hey everyone, As many of you might have heard, DaniWeb is currently working on opening up a new ecommerce store where we're going to be selling our swag ... tshirts, geek glasses, pens, silly putty, and soooo much more. For a first taste of what's in store, we've partnered with …  |
| | Create amazing, useful content that people will naturally want to link to. Use twitter and facebook social media widgets to encourage people to spread word about it to their friends. |
| | Re: Custom URL Assuming you are running a Linux based server, you will need to use something called mod_rewrite. By adding a couple of lines in an .htaccess file you upload into the directory, you could essentially rewrite URLs. For example, you can change [url="http://www.site.com/profile.php?username=dani"]www.site.com/profile.php?username=dani[/url] to [url="http://www.site.com/dani/"]www.site.com/dani/[/url] Check our Apache forum for more … |
| | Links within articles I would have to say is #1. |
| | A blog, or weblog, is like an online diary, and can be either personal or professional. Blog articles are the individual entries within a blog. Typically when I just hear the word "article" I think more of something that underwent a formal editorial review, which blogs don't. |
| | Fast page loading and very easy, clear navigation. |
| | Re: Not updating Yeah ... no one was watching the database :( Slave db server is still down but hoping to have it resolved as soon as James' flight lands and I pick him up from the airport and drag him over to my computer.  |
| | So sorry the site has been down for a few hours this early morning. It happened when it was time to switch the clocks back (the servers didn't like that), and James was on a flight to New York to come visit me. The site appears to be working for …  |

| | Never give up, and never get discouraged. It took DaniWeb about a year before we started to break ground. We are now nearly ten years old. Just keep creating new good, quality content, and more and more people will naturally link to it and recommend it to their friends. |
 | I am fully confident that all of the votes from the bots have been removed.  |
| | Pay-per-click can be a valuable tool when used in conjunction with an organic SEO campaign. On DaniWeb, we rely on organic SEO for all our longtail traffic to all of our forum threads. This is where the majority of our ad revenue comes from. However, we then rely on Google … |
| | Re: <strong> or <b> The <em> tag appears italicized by default, and is meant to be used for emphasis on a word or phrase. The <strong> tag appears bold by default, and is meant to be used for strong emphasis on a word or phrase. Even though these tags appear italicized or bold by … |
| | It's fine as long as there is only one web URL used to access a page. For example, you don't want domain1.com and domain2.com showing the same content. But if domain1.com automatically directs to domain2.com when you go to the site, that's fine. It's also fine to have multiple domain … |
| | Don't worry about trying to get more unique visitors right now. If the existing visitors you have all bounce, the better strategy is to work on how to make the most of your existing visitors. Work on lowering your bounce rate, and getting existing users to visit more pages on … |
| | Nofollow is an attribute added to links when you DO NOT vouch for the quality of the link (because it is an advertisement, or it is within user-generated content such as a commenting system where anyone can link to whatever they wish and you have no control over it). Dofollow … |
| | Re: A Milli Target It does't even help with ad revenue. It's great to boast a big number, but no one is going to even pay attention if you boast 846,356 versus 983,245. Big deal ;) We used to increase by about 1,500 new registrations per day. However, then, after complaint after complaint, I … |
| | Personally I don't see the benefit of directory submissions nowadays. It's always important to gain backlinks, but I would focus on getting links from quality, relevant pages across the web. Not just listings in free-for-all directories.  |
| | I don't think link wheels work anymore. The concept was that a bunch of sites each link to each other, with the "circle" being big enough that Google doesn't catch on. But they know ;) Ooooh they know ;) |

| | Re: how to start PPC You need a credit card. As vanessa suggests, I would start out with Google AdWords. It's powerful and can get complicated, but it also offers a starting point of only a penny a click, and new users get $50 free to start out with. Plus, it's pretty much the de … |
 | Have good, high quality, compelling, unique content that people will naturally want to link to. Gain backlinks naturally. Have clean HTML code that makes proper use of CSS and JavaScript, and follows all the W3C best practices. Use social media and integrate Facebook and Twitter into your site to gain … |
| | You asked this exact question less than a month ago here: [url]http://www.daniweb.com/internet-marketing/promotion-and-marketing-plans/threads/384453[/url] Please don't double-post. Thanks! |
| | Continue to do what you're doing. Don't give up. Work on forming relationships with other sites in your industry. Promote your RSS feeds as a means of getting other relevant sites to syndicate your content (Just titles/blurbs, not full content). |

| | Hi Phil, Unfortunately I have absolutely no experience at all with Website Optimizer, so I probably can't be of much help. However, I noticed that [url]http://secure.ultracart.com[/url] automatically redirects to [url]https://secure.ultracart.com[/url]. I'm wondering if the cross-domain thing doesn't work when switching from the http protocol to https? Have you tried to … |
 | Re: New Sticky Full sympathy because our site search feature always sucked and returned 0 results most of the time. But we're using google search now, and the results rae pretty good. It obviously completely makes sense that people would rather post and wait hours for a response than do a search and … |
| | Yes, it's legal, because if the job sites didn't want to allow it, they wouldn't be providing RSS feeds to use. However, mashup sites like these (sites that aggregate multiple RSS feeds) tend to not do so well in the search engines, and even worse off since the Google Panda … |
The End.
