Re: How will my website on Google's first page?

You are competing with the entire web
The best you can get, may be less than you hope:

"Content is King"

Accurate, original, unique, attributed, semantic, compliant content will get you ranked as highly as possible.

Any other quick-fix, will be downgraded Fast
Gabryprof's link is a starting point explains WHY
this thread ReadMe before you ask for review, Code compliant sites rank higher in SER contains simple instructions, HOW, and code testers to make sure.

Re: help on Bing Ads Auto click

Re: Reduce bounce rate on forums

IF the site is well constructed and well indexed, the casual user will be directed by the SE to the page that answers the question, one page: success, not bounce: failure

Reduced bounce rate; the need to access second or subsequent pages, bad design or bad SEindexing, the casual user has to browse to find the answer
Bounce is not always a sign of failure, in a Q&A setting it is a sign of success

In Daniweb the most appropriate answers, however chosen, appear immediately below the question, even if they are on page 3 by date and time,

1 page; success

members, and those who become interested, will always read through multiple pages

Re: Jokes

A husband and his wife went to the Doctor to discuss a problem. The Doctor took the husband in first.
The husband was a bit embarrassed and told the Doctor he had trouble getting an erection with his wife and she was getting frustrated.
He checked his blood pressure and other things, and finally told him he would see his wife now.
He took her to another cubicle and told her to completely disrobe. Then he told her to turn all the way around slowly.
She did as instructed.
He then told her to turn all the way around in the other direction.
Then he said - OK you can get dressed now, I will talk to your husband.

Then the Doctor went into the other office and told the husband - You can relax. There is nothing wrong with you.
I couldn't get an erection either!!

Re: Is Web Directory Submission Still Good for SEO?

1, no : Google webmaster tools, Bing Webmaster tools, nothing else

2, the number of visitors : who leave after 1 page view ∴ implying something is wrong with design or content
( or they got what they needed on the first page )

3, count single page sessions : not an accurate measure if the site is well designed, well SEIndexed,

information contained on a single page,
linked by search engines,
will show as a bounce, when it was a success.

Re: What IS gray Hat SEO?

Grey hat SEO is black hat SEO that has not been caught yet and penalised
Yet is the operative word, any gains that occur until being delisted are more than lost, being delisted
The practitioner knows it isnt right, knows what will happen to the subject when it is caught, but does it anyway

Re: Jokes

A woman goes into labor at a very modern hospital.
The doctor says, we have a new pain transfer device that can let the father take some of the pain away from the mother, but I have to warn you even 10% is pretty bad on a man.

The husband says, I have a high pain threshold let me have it.

The doctor sets the machine at 10% and the husband says, that's not bad give me 25%. He takes that and says go ahead up to 50%. No problem go to 75%, not bad go to 100% The baby is born and the doctor tells the husband that is twice what any other husband has endured, it would kill most men.

The man goes home and finds the mailman, dead on the front porch.

I had a power outage at my house this morning and my PC, Laptop, TV, DVD, IPad and my new surround sound music system were all shut down.

Then I discovered that my iPhone battery was flat.

To top it off, it was raining so I couldn't go for a walk, bike or run.

The garage door opener needs electricity so I couldn't go anywhere in the car.

I went into the kitchen to make coffee and then I remember that this also needed power, so I sat and talked with my wife for a few hours.

Re: backslash on link element

HTML NEVER had a self closing element

XHTML required all elements to close, singleton elements were required to self close,
<img alt='' src='' /> or
<link href="css/style.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" media="all" /> or
<a href=''>link text</a>
XHTML is happily dead in favour of HTML5 the elements now look like
<link rel="stylesheet" href="theme.css"> type not required
<script src="scriptfile.js"></script> type not required
<img alt='' src=''>
<a href=''>link text</a>

It is properly documented in the HTML documentation
It is not mentioned:
That is entirely proper.
it is not; never was; never will be; part of the HTML specification.
It would be somewhat strange to reference everything(anything) that is not part of the specification
