| | Sorry about all the site downtime today. :( Long story short, there was a huge problem that was the fault of our hosting company. James #1 can explain further :) |
| | Yes, I believe it can, although I'm not sure there's official confirmation of this. Have you noticed the "sandbox" effect (where no matter what changes you make, there's just absolutely no improvement for a set period of months) after switching hosts? |
 | Browse webmaster forums looking for creative features to add to DaniWeb. I'll then have a project on my hands and will no longer be bored with nothing to do. Or I veg in front of the tv.  |
| | Do you currently use cookies to log people in? Is that working successfully for you already? As Jorge pointed out, different members can have different roles/groups/etc tied to their accounts in the database.

| | White hat on-page SEO with a bit of pagerank sculpting thrown in. |

| | File a reinclusion request in Google Webmaster Tools (google.com/webmasters). It can take a couple of weeks for a response though. Make sure that your robots.txt file is not blocking any URLs that you don't want it to, and make sure your .htaccess file is not doing any weird redirects you …  |
| | [According to Wikipedia](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Page_hijacking) An important part of Google's algorithm is duplicate content. If multiple pages on the web have the same content, only the one that Google believes is the original/authority remains. This is a technique to fool Google into thinking that the wrong one is the original, therefore deindexing … |

 | Re: Which is best HTML is a client-side markup language. Everything on the web uses HTML. PHP is a server-side language that lets you send different content to different visitors and make a website interactive. It outputs HTML. |
 | Re: Website Traffic Give people a reason to want to register. Create great content. Give them incentives. Tell them what's so great about joining and why they should do it. Promote your site through Facebook and twitter. Create a FB fan page. Encourage your FB friends to like and share your site. |
| | I think this can still be an interesting theoretical question. You have a list of email addresses. (It doesn't matter how you got them. At the end of the day, you have them.) What can you do with them? What are the possibilities? Kinda the intended purpose of the Promotion …  |

 | It can take up to about three months. |
 | That's a very broad question ... Read up in this and other SEO forums and you'll be sure to get *LOTS* of amazing information. Nice, clean HTML code, properly structured, good internal navigation with good linking strategy, etc. |
| | Re: Backlink Check Google's link: filter is super inaccurate. Use Google Webmaster Tools at [url]www.google.com/webmasters/[/url] |
 | Re: Vote up/down If you just click the arrow up or down, it doesn't affect reputation at all. If you click the arrow and type in a comment, then reputation is usually affected (unless it's in an off-topic forum such as Community Center, or you already gave that person reputation today). |
| | Option 1: The "Show Comments" link will be fixed and only visible when there actually *are* post comments to show. Option 2: A post's comments will always be visible beneath a post (a la Stack Overflow and many other forums that have commenting systems). My concern is that this will … |
 | Re: Related Article I changed it over the weekend, so it's fairly new. I also made a change where if you visit an old thread, instead of the notice that the thread is dead, there is now a link encouraging you to start a new thread instead. |
| | It seems, unfortunately, like it is your hardware. A surge from a lightning storm would definitely produce such an effect. However, the good news is that if you're not experiencing problems other than with your monitor, your motherboard, processor, and hard drives are (hopefully) saved. Now for the bad news. … |

| | Sorry about that, it was a bug. Everyone was seeing the button in member profiles to send a PM to the member regardless of whether or not they had permission to do so. Fixed :) |

 | |
| | Do you mean like joining affiliate programs? There are tons out there that you can join, and then promote through AdWords, and earn a commission when people buy. However, it's definitely more competitive nowadays than it used to be. Firstly, AdWords changed their policies awhile back so that only one … |
| | Create great content. Use social sharing buttons and widgets (facebook, twitter, etc). Create a facebook fan page. Start off by promoting it to your friends. Encourage your friends to share it. Again, it goes back to creating great content that people will naturally want to link to and share. |
 | |
| | I absolutely hate the timeline layout too, but unfortunately this is Facebook's new design, which they're rolling out to all members over time. Once you've been timelined, you're stuck with it. Just to point out, though, you have no control how a website displays. Clearing your browser cache unfortunately won't … |
| | What are some techniques that my forum can use to entice people to link to us? |

| | Re: Thread count Yes, we use AJAX when you post, so just the post itself is tacked onto the page. The purpose is to make things more speedy and use Javascript so you can post without having to refresh the page. If we updated every little thing throughout the page, you'd lose the … |

The End.
