 | I'm confused what you mean by marketing channels. Do you mean places to get the word out there? This is very tough - especially for search engine optimization - because you will be in competition with all of the many, many, many webhosts out there for the highly competitive "web … |
| | As Narue pointed out, you already asked this question, where you received some help on it. To help keep this site organized, and to help you find the answers you're looking for, we request that you only start one thread per question. I am locking this thread. Everyone can participate …  |
| | I currently use Photoshop 7 for Windows and Photoshop 7 for my mac, as well. Most of what I use them for are web designs - i.e. the logo for DaniWeb, some designs for other websites, etc. I've actually never tried CS so I can't compare myself. So now my … |
 | Hey Scribbller. May I ask which site you run? The forum you have in your signature only has 65,000 posts. 400,000 is quite the big accomplishment! According to the vBulletin admin panel, the data usage is 320 megs, with 60 megs of attachments, 3 megs of profile pictures, and another … |
| | <rant> Does it bother everyone else as much as it irritates me that AdSense reporting stats are delayed by 2+ days when selecting specific channels? End rant.  |
| | Are you keeping up with a link building campaign? Are you getting other sites to use "email marketing" and "bulk email" as anchor text pointing to your site? Are you using those terms throughout your site, and especially on your homepage, as CSS'ed H1 and H2 tags, etc.? |
| | Re: What is your PR? 6 for the homepage. 5 for the forum categories. 4 for most forums. 0-3 for the threads. |
| | I was just about to say that I can't help you quick, but I could try to help you sloooow ;) Sorry I don't really have much to contribute, now that I've read this thread. <sarcasm> It was awfully nice of the eBay seller to show you a nice, close-up … |
| | Re: More members!!! When starting out, make sure to answer all of the questions that are posted. That will influence people to come back, because they'll see their own questions are answered. By nature, people are selfish ;) Even if it's a new forum, with very little activity, you can get people to … |
 | I disagree. I definitely think that spam should not be tolerated. Don't allow people to randomly post threads advertising their site, etc. You may wish to disallow references to other communities as replies to posts, i.e. "Didn't find what you were looking for? I heard Forum XYZ is more helpful!" … |
| | Hey Floris! I can't exactly call myself just a moderator here, but this is one of my favorite forums on the site. It's directly related to what I spend all my time working on. Can you guess what that is? |
| | When I first started DaniWeb, and it wasn't making any income, I put myself on a shared server. Had I know then what I know today, I would not have done it. Reasons include not having a dedicated IP and simply not having the control over my server that I … |
| | I use the vBulletin FAQ feature to inform members of sitewide forum rules, regulations, and policies. I then use the vBulletin announcement feature to notify members of forum-specific rules. For example, if you enter the Webmaster Marketplace, there will be an announcement indicating there is a ten post minimum to … |
 | Re: Hello! Hey Ramiro! Welcome ... based on your interests, it looks like this community should be a good fit for you. We cover all of that - and more! |
| | I know that somewhere in the registry it has the Windows wallpaper. I am originally suspecting that a small program which loads at startup could change this value. However, it wouldn't take effect until the next time you restarted the machine (right?) So maybe each time Windows loads, your program …  |
| | Hello there Maple Tiger! Welcome to DaniWeb. I think that getting started with C++ is a great way to delve into programming. It's a really good first language because it has a very shallow learning curve. In other words, you can learn as you go, starting off with the simple … |
| | Re: Hi All. Hehe. Thanks Stack! Yup, I'm here to welcome ya, Elmo :) No need to bother showing you the ropes since you're probably an experienced DaniWebber by now :) So enjoy, and I'll see you around on the forums. |
 | Hey Willliam! Welcome to DaniWeb. Unfortunately, I don't think that what you are asking is possible, since once you reach that Save As dialog, all of the work being done is client-side. I'm confused what you're asking for though. If the "cancel" button is hit, no bandwidth is wasted? Are … |
 | When you log into the site, arrows will show up next to the forums where posts have been made since your last visit to the site. They're updated each time you login to DaniWeb for a new visit.  |
| | Sorry, I don't know how to do it in Invision. Here in vBulletin, I'm using what are called vB template conditionals. I'm able to edit the postbit template and basically use a conditional to show google code if this is the first post, otherwise, not to.  |
| | Re: Just joined Hey Steve! Welcome to DaniWeb. Maybe this is a silly question, but what is middleware? |
| | Re: Hello out there! Hello out there in Internet land! Welcome to DaniWeb. Do you mean to say you don't have to play with IRQs and jumpers anymore? Gosh, you really do learn something new everyday. ;) |
 | Re: myself :P Hello there Visal. Welcome to DaniWeb! I hope that you enjoy yourself here. I see you've already delved into the VB forum :) You should check out our PHP forum ... I'm a PHP junkie! I just love that stuff. |

| | Generally, you don't make as much with affiliate (CPA) programs as you do with banner ad networks (such as FastClick, ValueClick, Burst!Media, Tribal Fusion, MaxOnline, Casale Media, and so on and so forth) that pay on a CPM or CPC basis. The problem with the ad networks is generally you … |

| | Nonono, bulk e-mail is definitely not a good idea. Many people mistakingly feel that if they can get their word out to the masses, people will visit their site. The problem is that most people feel that businesses who resort to spamming tactics to generate traffic almost always aren't businesses … |
| | Word of mouth, because it's a whole lot cheaper ;) In all honesty, both are equally important. For company branding, and to get the word out there, you want to go with paid advertising in the form of PPC text links as well as banners. But any amount of advertising … |
| | I think JTroopSoldier is referring to [url="http://adwords.google.com"]http://adwords.google.com[/url] - indeed, they're very good for targeted ad campaigns. |
| | A very general rule of thumb is to double or triple a site's annual revenue, and use that as a general ballpark area. Then, take into consideration what is being offered (i.e. custom design, custom scripts, keyword-rich domain name, how much branding you've done on the site, whether it has … |
| | And if you run into snags on the way, we're here to help. :) I don't think it is too hard to set up a default out of the box vBulletin installation. The trick is then in driving traffic, customizing it, and offering something unique! |
| | What are some tips to increase AdSense CTR? So far, I'm trying to integrate the ads into the content, and I know that the box ads perform the best. What else can I do?  |
| | [b]Declaring Objects[/b] When one works with classes, each instance of the class which is defined is known as an object. C++ is an extremely object oriented language (perhaps not so much so as Java, however). In OOP, or Object Oriented Programming, one can easily perform multiple tasks on objects which … |
| | Just to set the record straight - you have to be a registered member to post. Guest posting is no longer allowed here due to abuse. And YES! Of course everyone is welcome. |
| | In most cases, when the moderating team sees a need for some extra help in a particular forum, community members who show exemplory knowledge in the area in addition to experience being a member of an online forum, are voted into moderator positions by the current moderators on the team. …  |
| | I just noticed that Google has gone back and readjusted all of their reports and figures for the month of February. A few dollars and cents were added to each day of my AdWords account. Along the same lines, I earned a few more dollars and cents via my AdSense …  |
| | Some of you may have noticed the color changes made to DaniWeb just recently. The goal of this was to help navigation by giving each section its own color - almost like making mini-sites out of DaniWeb. Something else was done to promote this same idea. The "Today's Posts" link … |
| | Google has a new program going ... [url="http://www.google.com/referral/"]http://www.google.com/referral/[/url] It's an affiliate program in which they pay $20 CPA for anyone you refer to AdSense / AdWords. Unfortunately, it's currently - of course! - in beta, which means it's by invitation only. Has anyone been one of the privileged few to … |
| | I'm already in the ODP and I get a good amount of traffic from Google. I'm also in Yahoo! search. However, I'm not currently listed in the Yahoo! directory. Is it worth it to pay the annual $300 fee to be listed? How much traffic will it get me? Is … |
| | I used to use ValueClick, but I was incredibly disappointed by their low quality of advertisers. (Nearly as bad as FastClick's) In addition, all ads were run-of-network (untargeted) and mostly CPC, so there was very little revenue generated. Recovering from the holiday season and a bit strapped for cash, I … |

| | It will wipe out all of your personal files, customized settings, and software you have installed. It will be a fresh installation of Windows XP as if you had just bought your computer. Are you sure this is something you need to do? What errors are you getting that prompted …  |
| | They don't seem too professionally designed to me - which basically means no real company backing. You say Google got into the game? How so? Personally, I think the best these can do are be Xanga type sites. I don't think they'll ever get enough pull to reach the professional … |
