 | It would be mighty hypocritical if it did since Google's code doesn't even come close to validating. However, the cleaner your code is, the better off you'll be. It's also a good idea to use html tags the way they were meant to be used: H1 and H2 tags for …  |
| | I'm not sure what you mean by duplicate URL issues. The onclick parameter allows you to have scripting code executed when something is clicked, and search engines can't parse JavaScript. |
| | You're not going to like the simple answer: Search engines aren't capable of reading Flash. If your entire site is flash-based, search engines won't be able to read any of your content, and they won't include you in any search engine results (although they'll know about your site just as … |
| | Don't worry about it ... The PR that the Google toolbar spits out has been widely known within the SEO industry as completely stale / old / just plain flat out wrong data for about a year now. It's Google's way of making sure that we don't "buy pagerank" or …  |
| | It's not quantity, it's quality. Get lots of backlinks from a wide variety of different domains. Get links from inner pages of sites to inner pages of your site. Homepage to homepage links are massively unnatural looking, just as sitewide footer/sidebar links have become. |
| | The SEO and Internet marketing industries have brought forth the world of buying and selling domains at the drop of a hat. It's part of Google's algorithm that companies that are long established are the most trustworthy. Therefore, if the same domain is registered to the same company for a … |
| | Trackbacks include pingbacks, refbacks, and ... umm, I think there's a third one? Basically they are sites that link to a particular article. It's useful for the author of a post to see who's linking to what they wrote, and it's useful for readers to see if comments about the … |
| | Check out our Webmaster Marketplace => [url]http://www.daniweb.com/forums/forum36.html[/url] Otherwise, as ithelp said, check out our Directory ... Free PR5s and some 6s I believe, depending upon the category. |
| | I've never heard of using a "noodp" meta tag, which I assume means 'no open directory project'. The page redirection is most likely your problem. If googlebot goes to [url]www.site.com[/url] and gets instantly redirected to [url]www.site.com/blah/[/url], they have no where to pull meta information related to the specific page "www.site.com/" … |
| | RSS feeds are XML documents that allow your content to be "portable" ... You can create feeds that can be syndicated in RSS readers, mashups, on other sites, etc. |
| | Check out the "Existing Scripts" forum in the Web Development category for discussions on various content management systems, social networking systems, forum systems, etc. |
| | The short answer is that online communities are engaging ... Visitors enjoy the instant communication with people from around the world who share their interests along with the instant gratification of finding exactly what they're looking for the way they're looking for it ... something that just wasn't possible with … |
| | You say you can find your site when you do a Google search including the '.com'? If you can find your site at all, that means that Google knows about it. It just doesn't think it's worthy enough of being highly ranked in the results. Create lots of good content … |
| | Re: SEO: Unless they posted just because they wanted to plug their site, which a mod snipped. Use a real forum signature, people! :-P |
| | Nice post, John! I'm going to echo to make page titles unique for every page, and make them something that clearly describes what the user will find on that page in five words or less. Do that and those five words are more than likely to be that page's best … |

| | I fixed the code tags for you. You literally need to type out [noparse][code][/noparse] like this: [icode][noparse][code=cplusplus]cout << "blah";[/code][/noparse][/icode] |
| | Go to the processes tab (of the window you posted) and list the top few processes that are eating up all the CPU. |
| | On page optimization is the stuff that you tweak on your own website for the benefit of SEO. Such things include properly using H1 tags, having clean and well-optimized html code, keyword density, etc. Off page optimization is the stuff that is not on your own website, and therefore you … |
 | My directory used to be PR7. It's now a PR6, but I'm happy with that. There are so many directories nowadays. May I ask what your model will be? Will it be an everything directory or a niche directory that is targeted to a particular group of users? Will there … |
| | My directory pages finally got PR, which will hopefully entice more people to want to link swap with me. Other than that, I'm still a 6. Backlinks went from roughly 4,000 to roughly 6,000.  |
 | Leopard added to the list. Thanks for the catch. |
 | Re: "Directories" 1. They generate real traffic by real people looking for what they offer, and are visited by more than just other webmasters submitting their sites. 2. They aren't just free-for-all listings where anyone can submit anything to any category, but instead are well-moderated, and all the links in the directory … |
| | You should check out our search feature ... you can search for all threads within a particular topic and even all threads within a particular topic limited to a particular forum or group of forums. |
 | Re: Link Building Do Google searches for "<topic name> links" or "<topic name> directory" to find related sites that have link pages or directories. Then, email them to ask if they would consider adding your site. |

| | Spammers have ruined it for the rest of us :( |
| | A portal can mean so many things nowadays. Do you want it to have unique content? Do you want it to be more like the MSN/Yahoo portals? Do you want a forum? etc. It would almost definitely need to require a backend web development language such as PHP. Could you … |

| | Type site:[url]www.domain.com[/url] into Google and if any pages come up, then you're site is indexed. |
| | Re: alexa ranking On a rare occassion, I'll check out my alexa rankings. However, I hold absolutely 0% faith in their accuracy and I don't think they count for very much either. That's just my opinion.

| | We all know that traffic inevitably goes down during the summer months and the weekends. However, I'm confused as to exactly why this is. And, of course, by understanding why, I could perhaps help improve the situation for my site. During the weekends, for example, I understand that people go … |

| | > Make a proper source code indentation. You write C++ programs, not adult's graffiti... The indentations in code don't show up when you don't use code tags. I added code tags for him and now his code appears properly indented. (Hence the purpose of code tags)  |
 | It looks like the announcements in that category have expired ... fixing. |

| | We would need to see your code / mysql queries where the rows are being added to the table. |
 | A "flag as spam" link is pretty standard in webmail applications nowadays, and so I think it would be reasonably unconfusing. |
 | Clear out your temporary internet files / browser cache. This should fix the issue. |

| | Hi, I was away in Chicago for a couple of days, and Davey was away for the past two weeks. We are both back now :) In order to not stifle conversation as much as in the past, the rules have been slightly altered to allow links to be posted … |
 | I think that you're taking this too seriously. And yes, there are that many people interacting with the website ;) |
