 | Hi If &cur_date is a text field and not a MySql date field then I don't think >$cur_date will work, you need to change that field to a properly formatted date field, although I realise you say you can't. I'm not sure what to do about that. Maybe someone else … |

| | Blog comments are usually pretty good, very rarely dofollow but still effective |
| | Re: Increase ranking 1000 visitors a month is definitely realistic. The best way to get traffic is search engines and there is a lot to be said for search engine optimisation, however backlinks are probably the most important. |
