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 …

Using Google's (non-API) version is incredibly easy to implement and you get money when searchers click on sponsored links. When using the API version, none of the sponsored links show up (and until recently, google prohibited displaying AdSense on search result pages.) Of course you need programming experience to use …

Yes, the code snippets section is meant to post your completed and working code snippets for others to reference. :) I think you got confused when you thought that Dave meant for you to post your question there.

I openly accept constructive criticism, and that is the reason for this Site Feedback forum. I hope that anytime anyone has a problem with the site, something is not working, or they have a suggestion, that they please create a thread. However, I realize that sometimes people need a little …

[QUOTE=Narue]j.random_newbie@aol wants code downloads, huh? Go [url="http://www.planet-source-code.com/"]here[/url] and you'll find all kinds of good (but mostly crap) "code stuff".

First of all, I'm glad you're enjoying our community! User titles are, indeed, initially based on postcount. However, you may purchase a forum subscription for $5/month which entitles you to a custom user title of your choice in addition to many other benefits.

For starters, http://www.porscheracingclub.com is telling me that phpBB cannot connect to the database when I try to look at your forums. Also, http://www.911cup.dom is down. That aside, phpBB's ACP (adminstration panel) allows you to do database back-ups and restores. A more efficient way is via phpMyAdmin if it's supported on …

I don't disagree. But have you ever noticed that when you ... Clear your mind and watch ads for viagra or something on the television. If you watch the ads from a naiive perspective, you'll realize that what the product being sold is, is never described, explained, or shown. "Be …

A few days ago, Google released the new look for AdSense public service ads. I just noticed today, however, that every single page is suddenly ONLY showing these?? No more content ads on any page of the site out of no where? Can anyone confirm?

First of all, thank you for your suggestion. I would have answered you much sooner, but unfortunately the flu got a hold of me before you did ;) First of all, I just want to point out that the whole idea behind DaniWeb is to be an I.T. community that …

Your php script can't connect to the database. Open the file db.inc.php and make sure that the server name (usually localhost), database name, database username, and database password are all correct.

Make sure that your forum URLs don't have session IDs, as a bare minimum. You can also go the extra step to rewrite your forum URLs to have .html extensions, as the ones here at DaniWeb have.

[QUOTE=mortgage-pro-se]Thanks for you post. Is there anything that needs to be done to the database for optimization?[/QUOTE] There are some things you can do serverside to optimize - such as installing Turck mmCache to cache PHP scripts. But nothing that I know of to optimize the database or anything like …

I'm not so sure if this is the same problem or not. To be quite honest, I'm a bit confused. But I was doing some very simple OpenGL programming in Visual Studio.NET with GLUT. I made an .exe and tried to send the file off to someone. But they couldn't …

I don't think that python to C is a good beginner's introduction. I would begin with either C++ or Java as a first serious, object oriented language. Some here might argue to go with C#, or even a web-based language such as PHP. However, the reason that I strongly believe …

C++ and VB are two totally different animals. Do you want to get into the .NET archetecture? Hmm ... I'm not really a book person, I just look for a bunch of tutorials on the www. I go to www.cplusplus.com a lot but it's not really a beginner's site. Pretty …

I am taking a Computer Graphics course where we are doing some c++ programming using the OpenGL API. I'm writing a C++ program in Visual Studio.NET, where I've installed GLUT (Open GL Utility Toolkit). OpenGL, itself, apparently comes with VS. The only include that I have in my one-file program …

I definitely think that a launch party, and everything you are doing for it, is a superb idea. It's great for word-of-mouth marketing as well. The only thing that I am not entirely sure of is your idea to host it on New Year's Eve. That is usually a time …

I know that ValueClick bought Commission Junction awhile ago. But what is the relationship between CJ, BeFree, and BFAST? It looks as if CJ has tried to unite them but meanwhile the CJ homepage still has separate logins for CJ and BFAST.

I am currently deciding between the ValueClick and Burst!Media banner networks. Fastclick is out because it seems they don't accept forums right now. Has anyone been successful with either of these two? Which one do you recommend?

First of all, welcome to the community! However, you posted in the wrong place. This forum is for discussion of affiliate programs such as Commission Junction, Google AdSense, etc. In addition, no discussion or mention of one's own sites are allowed in here. If you would like to do a …

I thought gmail only gives you a gig to store your e-mails? You don't have FTP access or anything like that, right?

On a thread listing page, near the top there is a link that says "Forum Tools" ... it's a dropdown. Under Forum Tools, choose "Mark all threads in this forum read" Default vB3 ;) In addition, new threads will appear in bold.

I have always left the default vBulletin emails that my forum sends out. (i.e. to activate a new account, inform a user of a new private message, etc.) However, I finally took the time to customize each e-mail - and I can't believe how much it's helped! The vBulletin forum …

There is so much hype about PR and google SEO - but how does one go about getting up those SERPS for the other engines such as Overture and MSN? Google might be the biggest alone, but I'm sure that it can't defeat by far all of the others put …

IshWig is saying that HAD the link been posted (which it hasn't, as doing so violates our forum rules), he would have signed up just for the money.

Personally I will only purchase a .com extension. It's not so much for SEO reasons as it is for ease of getting return visitors. To make a site sticky, you have to offer a name that people can remember to type back in - quite often, I will remember a …

Take a look at sites such as [url="http://www.dyndns.org"]http://www.dyndns.org[/url] ... they let you associate a domain or subdomain name (you.dyndns.org) to a dynamic IP.

Offer something unique. A different style / color scheme other than default Invision. Provide something the others don't. Along with quick replies and knowledgable information. It may take awhile, but word WILL spread.
