Re: What are the latest SEO techniques to push keywords high in the rankings?

It entirely depends what niche you're in and what type of website you're running. The techiques I would recommend for an ecommerce site are very different than those I would recommend to a news site. Can you tell a little bit about your website and what your marketing goals are? e.g. are you very conversion-focused, trying to get leads, just the most amount of traffic possible, etc.

Re: Colored text based on days of the week

In PHP, you can make use of the date function

Something like this should work, although this code is completely untested, so I'm not sure if it has any typos or is bug-free.

<?php

// Set the day of week variable to 0 (for Sunday) through 6 (for Saturday)
$day_of_week = date('w');

?>

<html>
    <head>
        <title>Calendar</title>

        <!-- CSS stylesheet -->

        <style type="text/css">
            <!--
                We say that the nth <td> element of #calendar-days should be colored red
                where n is the value of day_of_week plus 1
                So, if it's Tuesday, $day_of_week should be set to 2, so we color the 3rd <td> element red
            -->
            #calendar-days td:nth-of-type(<?= $day_of_week ?> + 1) { color: red }
        </style>
    </head>
    <body>

        <!-- First Row of Calendar Table -->

        <table>
            <tr id="calendar-days">
                <td>Sunday</td>
                <td>Monday</td>
                <td>Tuesday</td>
                <td>Wednesday</td>

Re: Colored text based on days of the week

Hi,

What you’re asking for involves logic. If this, then that. If it’s this day of the week, then do that. This means your webpage doesn’t look 100% exactly the same 100% of the time.

Therefore, you need a programming language (other than HTML markup) to do what you want.

In my previous post, I suggested you use Javascript since it is used and understood by virtually every modern day web browser, and you can just stick a couple of lines of javascript code in your html to do what you want.

However, I’m now seeing that you’ve tagged this question PHP. Php is a server side language that takes some configuring of your web server in order to set up and use. Are you already using php? You can use php to accomplish what you’re looking to do as well, although, unless you’re already using php for this project, it’s a little more complicated to get started.

Re: Need Help for Bsc final year project

An index page for a website is simply the homepage. It can have anything you want on it. What do you mean by a complaint page? Should it just say: “Welcome to my complaint site”?? If so, you can simply have:

<html>
    <head><title>Complaints</title></head>
    <body><h1>Welcome to my complaint site.</h1></body>
</html>

Save that to a file called index.html and you’re good to go. :)

Re: Colored text based on days of the week

You need to use a programming language such as javascript. I’m on my phone right now so I can’t really toe out code, but there’s a link to a resource here: https://www.w3schools.com/jsref/jsref_getday.asp

This lets your web browser know the day of the week. You then just need to use javascript to color the text differently based on the day.

Re: How to display URL as hot link?

and don't tell me what I should do -- although I am wide open to suggestions.

Sorry if it came across as insulting. I simply mean that, if you're first learning PHP or taking an introductory class in school, you might not be using a PHP templating system. However, for any actual web apps that you wish to build with PHP, you're pretty much always going to be using a PHP templating system. I've been doing PHP for 20+ years, and have not ever come across any PHP-based projects that don't use PHP templates. It simply means separating the HTML code from the PHP logic.

My reason for asking the question is you're saying you have $website = $row["website"];, but where, exactly, is that code? What do you mean by "variable loaded"? I've heard of loading a variable into a templating system, for use by your templates, if that's what you mean?

Typically you will have a PHP file that looks something like:

// ... Logic to fetch $row from the database
// blah blah blah

// Load variable into the template
load_variable('website', $row['website']);

And then you'll have your template file that looks something like:

<a href="<?= $website ?>">Click Here</a>

I'm still confused what you mean by variable loaded and where it is in relation to your HTML within the PH file. That's why I asked if you could please show your full PHP code.

Secondly, i'm not sure I understand what you mean by making a hot …

Re: How to convert Word Doc to HrTML using JavaScript or Using PHP?

Well Javascript is primarily a front-end language, and it would make it hard to do that type of conversion. PHP is a back-end language, in which that kind of conversion is possible. Codemirror is a Javascript-based front-end library used to build a code editor. DaniWeb uses it for our own post editor.

Check out https://www.phpdocx.com as it's a PHP-based bundle that lets you do just what you're asking. Note it's not free, but requires a one-time licensing fee.

Re: Creating a quiz that shows one after the other from database

OK, so let's see ... You want to develop a webpage that enables someone to take a practice test. You want it to be done in PHP, but you don't really know PHP. You think you might need MySQL, but you don't know MySQL at all. And this is for a school assignment due Friday.

Sooo ... this might be a silly question, but is this for a course in which you are being taught PHP and MySQL? If so, are there any lessons you've learned so far that could give some instruction or direction as to what type of practice test site this should be, or what it should look like, or how it should function? Do you need to use Javascript? Is there meant to be a login system? Why do you think you need to use MySQL? Should it be a fixed number of questions, or random questions being asked?

A web app that enables people to take a practice test can be very minimal, or it can be a huge project with all the bells and whistles. How each are done is very different.

AMP pages clogging the Coverage Report

AMP pages are clogging the Valid Pages coverage report, grouped as Indexed, Not Submitted In Sitemap.

My AMP pages are linking to the AMP version of the URLs the desktop versions link to. Desktop links to desktop. AMP links to AMP.

What this means is that sometimes the AMP version of a page gets discovered before the non-AMP version. When that happens, it gets indexed as its own page, cluttering up the coverage report. Once the non-AMP version gets crawled, the AMP version leaves the coverage report.

With millions of pages, and new pages constantly added, the coverage report is completely useless in helping me to discover any URLs that actually should be in the sitemap but aren’t, or should be noindexed but aren’t.

I guess this is more of a pet peeve than anything. Any suggestions?

Re: How can i get traffic from web/mobile app?

Let me put it a different way ...

And do they offer added value?

The value that they bring is by bringing business to the eCommerce store. In return, the eCommerce store pays them a commission for any business they bring in.

If not, not much if any value to me.

Affiliate marketers are not meant to provide any value to you. Affiliate marketers are meant to provide value to the business that they partner with.

Folk I know think of them as cannon fodder and while it's an industry, is it a good industry?

That's actually quite insulting. You think of all commission-based salespeople are cannon fodder? Affiliate marketing is simply the digital equivalent of a commision-based salesperson. You can think of them exactly the same. They do the exact same thing only through different mediums. A commission-based salesperson such as a broker of some type might pound the pavement, make cold calls, go door to door, try to spread word of mouth, make business connections, network, really hustle, etc. to try to drum up business. An affiliate marketer does the exact same thing only through as many digital methods as he can think of. The more creative, the more ways of reaching potential customers. The OP's question was essentially asking what different types of creative ways are there beyond the obvious. He didn't deserve to be insulted.

Re: Which is the best jQuery CDN?

Since starting this thread, I’ve given up on using CDNs almost completely. Nearly all our third-party resources are served in-house now, although our website runs through Cloudflare as a whole.

The decision came when I read some articles a few months back about how a security change in Chrome and other web browsers will keep all assets siloed to a particular domain. That kinda makes the idea of using a CDN in case the end-user already downloaded the asset as the result of a different website they visited obsolete.

Re: How i can change variable php in one page

What do you mean that you want to save the variables on the same page? If you’re referring to having a form where you’re enter data and then hit submit and that data shows up on the page, then yes, there’s no need for a database. But if you want persistent data where once you set it, it always stays even after you refresh/reload the page, or is seen by others, then you need a database to store those values somewhere to be retrieved later or by other people.

Databases are typically meant to give you access to information storage, not to fix slowness issues in and of themselves. The reason to add a database to an app that doesn’t already have one is typically to add new dynamic functionality.

True, it may take a really long time and it's not actually guaranteed (especially if Google thinks it's a typo or server misconfiguration on your end, they may ignore your directives), but I think you can be confident that if you noindex a page, and Google recrawls it since that meta directive was added, they won't index it. Googlebot also attemps to be a good citizen and they won't crawl pages in robots.txt, although they may still index these pages (especially if they have a lot of backlinks) even though they don't have access to the content on the page.
