It's the first time I hear about Adobe Analytics. So my answer is that I use Google Analytics. Had a stint with yandex, but it lasted only few days.

Just publishing on article websites won't cut it. Unfortunately the SEO juice you get from there is also worthless, even with excellent articles, as you mentioned you have. Ideally you should try and contact bloggers in your niche and see if they are willing to post your articles in their …

You can rank with excellent content, even if you don't actively build links. Ideally others will pick up your articles and help share, some will link from their own websites. Which is, again, link building. Ideally you should work on your onsite SEO and write superb content, while also looking …

Well, the forum has clearly evolved since I last spent time here. Anyway .. looks pretty dandy, as usual, and well developed. Dani, you're doing a tremendous work here ;)

You need a concerted effort: on-site and off-site. Put your link in all forum signatures, comment on related blogs and use any chance to actually use your link, without spamming, of course. Then work on creating relevant content on the website. It helps A LOT with SEO. Responsive design, fast …

Hello Mihai. Romanian? Welcome to the community. It's one of the best IT related forums around, I'm sure you'll really enjoy your stay here.

I don't understand the question. A trademark is a logo that has been registered as such. There are entities that solve this for you, google for register trademark and you'll find solutions. A wordmark is actually a logo that's made out of text. Such as the new microsoft logo. Or, …

I started learning logo design a while ago and hit Udemy for some courses. There are other reliable websites filled with courses, which might give you the info you need.

Don't worry, the new generation of 'designers' just download a template from ThemeForest and call it a day. I am shocked to see how incompetent some so called web designers are, they have almost no clue about creating a design, they just change few colors and a lousy logo. It …

There is no magical solution to have your forums run with many members. For the new forum admins it's indeed frustrating. You open a forum and expect people to flood it. Well, they don't. This is why a forum admin needs to work a LOT: from skinning to modding the …

Started karate years ago. Then a site called dojo.ro. From there I started calling myself dojo. The 'name' stuck, so now, online, I'm dojo.

Quality is your main friend: good design, unique content and a lot of work. Promote with links in signature and post good messages, not spam. make some exchanges, put the link in free to add directories with pr. Pay some adwords campaigns .. work constantly and you'll make it ;)

Usually the CD-rom units have a small hole in the front panel to "force" eject the cd. Don't know if it's the case anymore since I am using a laptop, but when I used a desktop computer I would insert a needle in the small hole and it would open.

Wordpress hands down. It can be "simple" or feature heavy, you decide. Excellent SEO capabilities, good support, designing for it is pretty straightforward.

I had a blog of mine get PR4 in 2 weeks since it was online, so domain age is not always important. Of course, it will help to have an older one on the long run. Focus on getting quality traffic and good rankings. They're more important than PR

You don't need encouragement, you need to learn and work :) find out what you're good with, work and learn as much as you can. There's enough money to be made, and you can be successful, it only depends on you. Best of luck and keep us posted.

There are some crimes that would "justify" this in my opinion. There are certain people who just don't deserve to live since they're a perpetual menace to society

I like wordpress and have advised my clients to use it because it's easy to use, super-versatile and good for SEO too. I've done over 100 designs in the past 2 years and my clients were ecstatic about the script. It's easy for them to update the content and, once …

I go to sleep at midnight and wake up at 9 in the morning. NO MATTER WHAT. Instead of sleepless nights and a hectic schedule, I have a good program that keeps me fresh and rested. It's been 2 months since I've changed the way I work and it's for …

I preffer php ... nevee worked too much with Java

I never used this and I don't have to complain about quality of the posts. Quality in posting is done with personal example from the staff and admin. When people see we don't post spammy one liners thet understand we mean business. As for the hack, never used it. Even …

well I have some ideas: Price: I don't have the money for VB. As much as I would love to spenf those 160 USD this is almost my monthly wage in Romania. I cannot afford spending the money I need for food and home. So .. phpBB for me. Features: …

I am using now Adwords. I will be able to tell more about it in few days, since I have just started.

In most of my forums guests have no access to the profiles. It's in the end a question of security. I am now in the position I don't like being part of a forum that lets guests see my email address for instance or my details

My all time obsession would be Morrowind. Loved this game and I still play it from time to time

If you know to install some security hacks and follow the updates you're safe with phpBB. Saying a script is more secure than the other is debatable. My latest hacks were targeting the entire server. So I had all my 14 forums down (and I run on 5 scripts: vb, …

We all had our share: people who are not being respectful to the staff and reply with 'nasty' words. Do you warn? Do you ban?

Have a clean code (as clean as you can), alt tags for images and titles for links. In 2-3 days Google should see you. I have clients with sites I am still working on and they appear already in google. And since they're still under work it's normal for me …

My best in SEO terms is a PHPBB forum. Was never able to make IPB or VB work from this point of view. I also have some bad SEO-d phpBBBs and myBBs .. in the end I think it's more our fault ...

I have used most of the known scripts and believe that all have ups and downs. For the paid script I'd go with IPB next time, I had only huge issues with VB, the only forum script that never worked as I would have expected. Even phpBB is better

First you can use a free script. I used it for 2 years almost and don't regret it. having to mod phpBB and create themes for it made me very relaxed with scripts. Now I can create a unique layout for any script possible since I have made my "schooling" …

The site won't open for me .. maybe it's my connection (again). Don't worry .. it's a good number for a first month. Keep on promoting, add new topics and it's gonna be OK

Don't know about the invisionfree stuff, but I think it's not allowing you FTP access (or does it?). You can go with phpBB and not have an issue (I am running 4 phpBB forums and I love them all), but you need to have full access to FTP and the …

I;m not using any of them at present, but I use adsense on my sites. Am pleased with it, so I think Adwords is also a good thing.

another photoshop admirer ;) After a hard start (couldn't understand those layers) I just discovered the potential. Awesome piece of software indeed.

Hmm ... paying for posts ... I think I'll get some people in my head, but anyway ... I have used some post exchanges to start up a forum. I usually contacted people I noticed had nice posts and proposed the exchange. Some are still active ;) I have also …

I have written some articles and posted them. Then I realised I'm wasing my unique content and put it in the sites that are reprinting same articles again and again. I got few visits this way and waste some great articles. Now, I just focus on posting in forums and …

I had a revelation with [url=http://www.etomite.org]Etomite[/url], a CMS I am using for the articles in my [url=http://www.wtricks.com]main site[/url]. The directory is on Indexu and the forums in phpBB, but the articles are managed by the small CMS. I have to admit I found it nice. Took me 2 days to …

I am not a specialist in VB since I use phpBB more. But ... I have 2 IPBs and I have tried working a bit in them. I think you can solve this from the admin panel. You have to find something related to skins/templates .. there you have the …

Just keep on posting. I have set myself a table with my new topics plans for the 6 forums I run. I made it a rule for myself to try to come with 5 new topics a day (if the forums are not that active in that day). Don't let …

I am not a specialist in either of the 2 techologies, but I am working on a lot of CMS scripts I have in my sites (Nuke, Etomite, forum scripts and so on). They seem to work quite well (they all use php) and people are pleased. I have heard …

I don't think paid membership would work unless the forum does provide something unique and it's very developed. Stick with free and have ads ;)

I wouldn't advice to have the host install it automaticaly. The scripts they have in cpanel are always outdated. Get your hands on the latest release of the script you want to install and do it yourself. Running a forum will mean modding the theme and script afterwards, better learn …

Well, a community is made by more people, not just you. It's true that you NEED to post new threads on a daily basis. Even if no one replies at first THEY WILL eventually. Start some post exchanges. In many webmaster forums you'll see threds like "10:10 post exchange and …

Computers are my life, so that I don't say that I don't have a life :D

There is not a fixed number for this. i have a forum with more than 300 members and 13000 posts, with a great postcount/member ratio and still i can't say it can go by itself. You need to work relentlessly to keep it active and nice.

Hello. I am running some sites, from which one is a new forum for women. It's a sort of a general chat for women only. We discuss about everything in our lives: home, career, relationships ... My question now: how and where do you think I could promote it? The …

Email activation ... nice animal :D I have it disabled in most cases. It makes people lose less time to join the communities. But then again, my forums are small, so I can handle the 2-3 spammers I get from time to time. I have used email activation (and even …

I have less and less respect for these. They were the hype once, but just seeing that ugly button or table in my projects makes me think again about it.

I am not willing to pay. I am willing to work on the theme, mods and create hundreds of topics in just days. I promote for free and little by little I get people sign up and post. My communities are hobbies for me. I don't rush anywhere, not to …
