I used to hear both of those a lot a couple of years ago, but I haven't recently. I'm not sure whether the fad just died down, or Google changed their algorithm, or it was just myth to begin with.

This really depends on your individual needs. Both have their advantages. Do you plan on having a back-end to your website (e.g. running scripts with a database, etc?) If you would like to get into PHP as this site is, I would recommend a linux flavor with the Apache web …

I think it's a good idea. Some people consider the entire thing one forum. i.e. in the context "I run a forum." Aside from that, sometimes people make typos, so it can't hurt. In fact, we redirect ww.daniweb.com to [url]www.daniweb.com[/url] for those people who make typos.

This same question has been answered hundreds of times before here. All I can suggest is really to browse the exisitng threads and read up about SEO.

Crazily enough, the Mark Forums Read link in addition to a couple of other things on the site got broken because of my fix to have the Color and Smilie dropdown appear correctly in the editor. Because more things got broken than got fixed, I've reverted the JavaScript file so …

I like Vista. Been using it since it came out with no complaints, and it's as sturdy for me as XP was. My only major hassle is that Zend PHP Studio crashes on a regular basis, but Zend hasn't rolled out any updates in forever and I prefer the application …

None that I know of for actual events. Try Moreover for news feeds though. They used to have feeds about every subject imaginable, but I'm not sure if they still even provide that service.

Can you access the CSS file if you type the URL directly into your mac's web browser? If you can, and the path that you have specified in the [icode]<link rel="stylesheet"...[/icode] line is correct, then the issue is related to your Mac's browser application.

Viral marketing is when your site gets promoted exponentially across the web without you having to pay dollar for dollar for each individual visitor you get. For example, word of mouth marketing is the most common form of viral marketing ... people tell people, those people tell people, and the …

There are some webmaster forums, for which most, if not all, of the users already have Google AdSense publisher accounts, which participate in what's known as a revenue share program. Basically what this would mean is if you're the thread starter, your Google AdSense publisher ID (for which you earn …

SEO is no different no matter what the site is. There are the same basic principles for everything: Clear, concise navigation, write for the visitor and not the spider, lots of good inbound links, a good sitemap, and clean HTML code

AOL has always had a thing for Internet Explorer. I'm not sure this is possible. Do you currently have FireFox set as your default browser?

The file extension is not related to whether your site is dynamic or not. DaniWeb is a dynamic site and we use .html file extensions.

What's important to remember is that Google does not consider the SEO industry evil. In fact, they even have official documents published on google.com about how to interview and choose a good SEO. It's certain practices of unethical SEOs that is frowned upon.

It's really cool if you multitask in a bunch of applications ... i.e. webpages side by side, etc. Personally I find it obnoxious to have to look either right or left because all you see when you look straight ahead is space between the two of them ;)

It's things like this that will get you penalized by the search engines :( If every page on your site has the word bowling somewhere inside an article hyperlinked to your homepage, it's going to look awfully like it's done just for the sake of SEO, and the search engines …

It was fixed. Then it wasn't again. I'm still investigating exactly what is causing the issue. It appears that before the problem only affected FireFox but was fine in IE. Now the problem is only affecting IE and is fine in FireFox, from what I can tell.

It's not really a bar. The sticky threads used to be in a different box with a different background color. The idea was to make them stand out more. However, testing has shown that most people would initially focus their eye at the beginning of the regular threads, skipping over …

I think the biggest benefit to being in DMOZ is not from the site itself but from being listed on partner sites (ie Google Directory) and the dozens of individual directories which scrape DMOZ content. Overall it gives you links on targeted pages from a wide array of different domains.
