Ah, yes. I used to have a TechNet subscription back in the day before they cancelled that service because I guess it wasn't cost-effective for them. (It sure was for me though!)

Hi there and welcome to DaniWeb!! I have 20 years of exprience in digital marketing, as well as being a web developer, so feel free to ask any questions and I'll do my best to answer.

Hi there! Welcome to DaniWeb :)

I used to use a lot of those Mega Submit apps and sites back in the mid-late 90s but I think that nowadays they're kinda spammy. If you're going to get any non-negligible amount of traffic, your site should be discoverable on its own.

Ah, gotcha. It's just that Wix is so popular and I've never heard of Webflow before, so I was wondering what the value proposition was.

Do you have experience with both? Which do you prefer?

I've never used a tool to build my site before since the days of Microsoft Frontpage '98!

Ever wonder what DaniWeb was like way back in the day?

Well now you don't have to guess.

Forums and tags have a new filter in the dropdown to list all Archived topics.

Every server is configured differently. However, you typically can do https://IP_address/... to browse a site provided you’re using the server’s external IP address.

If you send the entire project to someone with Laravel experience, they should be able to do it in less than 5 minutes. Perhaps it’s worth paying $20 for. My recommendation to you would to either go back to the person who wrote it in the first place and ask if they’ll make this simple update, or to hire a freelancer on Upwork.

Also as mentioned I could take a look at it if you post all the code for this project.

Absolutely hand-coded over WYSIWYG, no question.

However, I would make sure to be using a framework and Sass (or some other type of precompiled CSS).

Basically whatever it takes to reduce the amount of unnecessary HTML and extra CSS for optimal performance.

shutdown -P +3 should work.

-P means power off. You can alternatively use -r to reboot. You can use +3 to shutdown in 3 minutes, or "now" to happen right now.

I moved 01234567 now it's long enough!

Got tripped up by the 15 character minimum title requirement, I see.

The problem is that soooooo many people would use titles such as "help" and "c++ error" that were completely not descriptive or useful. The reason for implementing the requirement was to force people to come up with more descriptive titles.

I also see that you moved to Queens. I'm originally from Long Island, and the DaniPad by DaniWeb Coworking Space is in Bayside, not far from where you are now.

Hi there and welcome to DaniWeb. I will do my best to answer any questions you may have, as I have a 20 year career in the digital marketing space.

However, I regret that I never had much luck with affiliate marketing, despite being very into it for a short period of time 10+ years ago.

The reason is most likely because the focus was on selling products and services here on DaniWeb, and we have had much better success with CPM, CPC, and even some CPL.

I hope to see you around!!

Is it appropriate to noindex AMP pages whose desktop canonicals are noindexed?

Currently, my valid but low-quality pages are noindexed. They point to an amphtml version, and that AMP page is noindexed as well.

Should I be noindexing or fully blocking search result pages from my robots.txt?

Hi there and welcome to DaniWeb!!

Sorry, I can't help, because unfortunately I have no python experience. But I've tagged this thread pygame so hopefully it will get more eyeballs and someone will be able to help.

Voice search is huge for quick things, between Siri, Google Assistant, etc. However I don’t think it’s going to permeate all industries. For example, people still won’t be using voice search to google for answers to programming help. (And ending up at DaniWeb).

Mobile I think has made the shift within the past few years already, and it’s surprising me how it’s permeated into an industry I never thought it would.

I would have laughed in your Face if you told me 5 years ago that people would be using their mobile devices to ask a C++ question. And yet, today, a good percentage of our audience is, indeed, mobile traffic.

Do you still use reCAPTCHA or something homemade?

For us, we use jQuery to inject a hidden form field upon form submission that sends a little time sensitive and cookie sensitive string that we validate on the server side.

I’m always curious to know what everyone else is doing.

I also want to mention that their stock isn't doing too shabby either.

I started using Cloudflare yesterday, and I must say, I'm incredibly impressed with them. They have a pretty well-rounded featureset that goes above and beyond just being a static CDN.

Thanks!

Here's a link to where you can configure your Facebook widget.

https://developers.facebook.com/docs/plugins/like-button/

Change the layout to anything other than 'button' to include a count of how many people have liked the page.

Here's a wizard where you can embed a count of how many Tweets the page has gotten: https://publish.twitter.com/#

There’s a snippet of Javascript you can put on your site to show how many Facebook likes it got, how many Tweets, etc.

I’m on my cell now not near my computer but I’ll find specific code for you a bit later.

Oh, never mind! The first post of this thread shows how to restore. Does it not work?

I agree that infographics really demonstrated they helped a lot in 2019. Not sure if I can tell from 2020 yet. Hard to believe we’re almost halfway into the year.

Why can’t you use that code instead of yours? Doesn’t it do exactly what you’re looking for?

I’m in bed now about to head to sleep, but I’ll take another go at it in the morning. If you figure it out in the meantime, please post an update :)

I wasn’t able to spend much time on it tonight because it was my bedtime when I first saw the thread.

I spent about an hour on this yesterday hoping to be able to come up with a workaround but, unfortunately, no dice.

The only way to do it is to send an AJAX request each time you click next in the form, and doing so would be a bit too much additional PHP code than I’d like to spend on it. I don’t feel it’s that big of a pain point.

If you have Amazon Prime, I highly recommend Upload. It's an Amazon original. I binge watched it the other day.

Especially if you are a fan of The Good Place.

I just came across this article, which seems to be good: https://hostingcrown.com/jquery-cdn

It says that the official jQuery CDN is not recommended for Asian countries due to high latency. That's the one we're using, and we get a lot of India traffic, so good thing I'm switching. I can't decide between Cloudflare and Google.

This is by design. It’s all one single Contribute form that was broken up into a wizard to make it easier for newer members to digest it little by little.

However, we don’t actually touch the server until that final submit button is pressed.

It was hard enough work to get it to bring you back to the step that had the errors instead of the first step every time.

Technically speaking, it would not be completely impossible to validate each page before continuing to the next. However, it would be a significant amount of work, and I’m not convinced it’s a big enough pain point to warrant it.

Sorry, I forgot to mention that I fixed this a couple of hours ago.

Having a strong domain authority means that you have a lot of relevant backlinks and mentions from sites that, themselves, have a strong domain authority.

The benefit is that you will have more crawl budget, which means Google will crawl your site deeper and index more pages.

It's also believed that you will rank higher. We know this was the case in early versions of Google's algorithm, but it plays a much smaller role today.

.... Oh, I see. I don't know if that means you should resubmit later. I think it just means they don't have enough reviewers right now and so it might take longer than average to have your site reviewed.

Is it definitely a rejection letter or is it a, "Sorry, there's a delay" letter?

Sorry, can you post the entire message as a forum post instead of as a comment? It seems to be chopped off.

What about a script that assembles all the file names and concatenates then together before executing the single cp command.

How do you know COVID-19 is the reason for the denial? What does the rejection letter say?

That’s weird. I’ll fix this in just a bit. Thanks for the catch.

What does the data in your database look like? Line 20 of your code is retrieving all the data within the row(s) of the Calendar_Data table for today's date.

What do you want to be updated about?

I definitely don't regret creating DaniWeb at all.

DaniWeb lived on the vBulletin forum platform for many, many years. I was extremely involved in the vBulletin community.

In 2012ish, for many reasons, it made sense to break off of vBulletin, and I recoded a platform from the ground up.

I certainly don't regret switching to our own codebase from a business or technical perspective. However, I do miss being such an active member of the vBulletin community and all of the friends I met there.

The reason I call it the good ole days is because one of the main reasons for switching off vBulletin was that it was sold to Internet Brands who took it in a different direction, and so I jumped ship at the same time as most other people did. (Most of them migrated to the Xenforo platform instead). So good ole days because now the entire vB community is just a shell of its former self.

Sounds cool, deviance.

I checked out your site and it's reminding me of those good ole days when I was using the vBulletin platform and there was a whole community around it that I was active in.

Huh?????

I just looked it up and it looks like you just need to link to your privacy policy from within your app listing in the Google Play store.

As mentioned in my previous post, your privacy policy should outline exactly what you’re doing, and in addition to being attached to your app listing, your users should have an easy way of finding it.

Unfortunately I have very little experience with apps (I’m a web girl). My guess is that you need to explain exactly what you’re doing in a privacy policy, and show/have them agree to that policy when they sign up or attempt to log into your app for the first time.

Add fresh content. Build backlinks. Freshen up your site navigation.

I think making sure your pages interlink well and you have efficient navigation is low hanging fruit most people don’t think of.

Also, make sure all your pages have a unique title and meta description, and you aren’t noindexing pages unintentionally.

Hi,

Welcome to DaniWeb!! You started your career in digital marketing roughly at the same time as I did. I first got involved in the SEO industry in about 1998 and started selling advertising as my primary income in 2004.

How has your restaurant been doing with Coronavirus??

James,

So sorry for coming off harsh the other week. I apologize. I know you are only angry because you care. ;)

$id = $_POST['index']; will only work if someone filled out a form with an index field and ended up on that page.

$id= $_REQUEST['index']; will work if someone goes to the page with a query-string parameter, such as page.php?index=123

One of them was abandoned because the person funding the project (a non-developer who hired a dev team to work on it) ran out of money. The other was shelved when their work got busier, I believe.
