Go to [url]http://www.isedb.com/[/url]. It is a directory of directories. And submitting to directories is never a bad thing and will never hurt you. To make sure you get the most from your listings do the following: 1) Start by submitting to directories that entirely related to your website. When you …

[QUOTE=classify;302930]Website directory submissions is advisable than submitting the website to search engines through their "[B]add url[/B]" forms, as they will be quickly indexed by search engines.[/quote]Simply not true. Submitting to the search engines takes two minutes of time and is the only way to guarantee they know about your site. …

This is all hype. While you can get links from these sites their value is no better then submitting to directories really. Unless you can get your submissions dugg or similar it isn't a good SEO strategy to focus on (and most submissions do not get dugg). Submit your stuff …

Each feed is different as each shopping site has their own format for feeds. You will need to go to each site and find out what format they are expecting and create each feed separately.

The best thing you can do is force the page to be viewed only by https which is not hard to do and can be done several ways. (BTW, unless you link to the non https version of that page users should never be able to get there in the …

Yes. There is no difference between file types in file uploads. The browser and server do not care what file type it is. Only your server side code does.

Null means it is nothing. It has no value or state of any kind.

No such thing. That's why you haven't found it.

Have you done any research of your own? What do you have so far?

Probably because of cost is my guess.

They can tell. That's why sites like phpbb.com can't pass PR.

There are no free payment gateways or free merchant accounts. How you actually process a credit card will vary as each payment gateway and third party processor uses a different API. No audit or anything like that needed. And it's not true that you need to process thousands of transactions …

Don't write articles for the sake of submitting them to an article directory. Besides the fact that they deliver little traffic, if the articles are any good you should put them on your own website to the traffic comes straight to you.

I'm glad you pointed out that Authorize.net is only a gateway and not a processor as many people are confused by that. Authorize.net is useless without a true merchant account. If you are really concerned about fraud control Authorize.net does offer good fraud protection. But Verisign probably has the most …

Myspace can be a good form of advertising but I wouldn't even consider calling it the best way to advertise. Traffic from myspace advertising tends to be poor as they don't hang around for long and isn't very targeted.

There are more and people talking about the same thing (plus PR fluctuations). I noticed fewer pages being reported as blocked in my Google Webmaster Tool account. Seems like Google is up to something.

Trying to install Curl 7.15.4 on a Red Hat server with PHP 5.1.2 and Apache 1.3.*. When attempting to ./configure I get the following error message: configure: error: cannot run /bin/sh ./config.sub I'm not a server guru so I'm not sure where to go from here.

YPN does but currently is not open to new registrations. They have a waiting list you can get on and as they expand their offering you may get in.

Using a single onload function is the best way to go. This javascript function allows you to keep adding functions to the onload event without having to worry about the ones already added: [code]function addLoadEvent(func) { var oldonload = window.onload; if (typeof window.onload != 'function') { window.onload = func; } …

You won't see the links for months, if ever, because Google rarely updates its link count and even then doesn't even display all of them. As far as getting indexed by Google, have you submitted your site directly to them?

It should be pointed out that the DigitalPoint Coop got flagged as a link farm so being a part of it is very bad. Members who were a part of it when Google brought down the hammer got creamed in the rankings.

This sounds very custom and will almost certainly need to be custom coded. That usually is the case with very specific ecommerce needs.

[QUOTE=Andrew008;259325]Does placing links to related sites improve rankings?[/quote]No. This is a common myth but is untrue. [QUOTE=Andrew008;259325]Has this something to do with the .edu or .gov links on the pages? I know that wikipedia has many back links but I still wonder if the .edu or .gov links have something …

Dreamweaver can only do easy/cheesy JavaScript code. Real functionality can only be done by hand.

The file extension is irrelevant for SEO. .html does not rank any better then .php.

That's not true. Your talking about people who manipulate the search intentionally to create false information to rank well. That's not SEO. That's spam and fraud. SEO is simply doing your best to make sure search engines can find and comprehend your webpages more effectively in the efforts of improving …

I want to know how to make millions in my sleep. If you want help with something show some effort. In your case better explain why you need to know and what you have come up with so far. If you have done some good work, expect to get some …

You are targeting very c0ompetitive keywords. You will be looking at years before you even have a chance at being successful. I highly suggest that you try to target less competitive phrases if you want to have any hope for short term success. Getting an ecommerce site to rank well …

Assuming you actually get listed in DMOZ, and that is a big if, you may see an improvement in rankings but most likely not. Although a link from DMOZ is more valuable then a link from a regular directory their links aren't as powerful as many people like to make …

[QUOTE=tamar;469668]Google will serve the duplicate page. It's just a matter of Google serving the right page that you want the users to see. If you don't think the page Google provides is ideal, delete it. :)[/QUOTE] Why do you say that when Google clearly is filtering out duplicate content and …

Do a search for free directories. There are thousands of them.

Do they offer database support? Most free hosts don't. You should contact them to see if they do and ask them how to connect.

You need to use [url=http://us2.php.net/strtotime]strtotime()[/url].

Use nl2br()

There is no difference at all. Search engines don't care what server-side language you use. They only see the HTML they produce.

There is no blink option in HTML. If you want text to blink you'll either have to use CSS (not sure if that actually is supported by all browsers) or JavaScript.

Just install something like phpbb just like you would on a website with a domain name.

There are no tutorials for that. It's called learning and experience. If you don't know any PHP then start off with the basics of which there are countless tutorials out there for as well as good books. Then start building websites. The more experience you have the better you will …

Reciprocal links aren't a good strategy regardless of how "natural" you try to make them look. The concept looks the same to a bot and will be disregarded by Google no matter how "natural" they look. Try to focus more on one way links as they will actual help you …

Signature links have virtually no SEO value. I would look at them more as advertisements that you hope users click on.

MySQL doesn't recognize arrays much less PHP arrays. You need to put one piece of information in each field. If you want the entire contents of an array to go into one field either serialize it or convert it to a string.

Specifically for this forum most PHP users here are new to PHP development and thus will be unable to do advanced techniques like OOP.

You can do this very easily with Apache.

It depends on the forum and the user who you buy signatures from. And even then don't expect a lot of traffic from this.

That's a competitive phrase. You're going to have to work hard to rank number one for that and even then, if you are lucky enough for that to happen, it will takes years of constant work to achieve it.

Why do you need a script to run every 10 seconds? There has to be a more efficient way to do whatever it is you are trying to do.

You can use CSS to deliver the proper content based in device. No extra programming or pages required.

Wordtracker gets its information from only one source. If that source isn't the same one you used then it obviously won't know about it. And you have to keep in mind that tools like Wordtracker are [b]not[/b] to be taken literally. The numbers presented should not be used literally at …

The toolbar PR has been unreliable for years. It's stale data that we get only every three months or longer. It's virtually useless information.
