I, personally, associate a Comp Sci degree with someone with excellent math skills, logic skills, who is good at theoretical issues, thinking abstractly, and an excellent problem solver. I associate a …  |
| | This sometimes used to happen to me on my panther G5. I don't put my monitor to sleep anymore - I just turn off the monitor. This is because my mac is connected to my printer and my windows machine, and this way my win machine always has network access … |
 | What most interests me is what Watson's database is like. I think it's half the battle figuring out what question is being asked. But it's the other half of the battle coming up with a correct answer to an infinite number of questions on an infinite number of topics. |
 | I'm not seeing what you're seeing? It looks correct to me?  |

| | Other tech support websites do this. However, it was my decision awhile ago not to specifically point out an individual post as being the "best answer" because, often times, it is the help of multiple people, engaged in a back-and-forth discussion, that brings the solution. Therefore, when a thread is … |

The problem with this was that, over time, spammers employed techniques of keyword stuffing ... essentially, repeating the keywords more times than one would … |
| | Register your .in domain with Google webmaster tools, and there is a section there to geotarget India. The thing is, it shouldn't be necessary because Google has already expressed that country-specific domains such as .in are already targeted to their individual countries. But it can't hurt. It might also help … |
| | Your hosting company doesn't allow you to use php's mail() function? If you can't send mail from your server, you will have to use a third party (paid) service. Try something like ConstantContact.  |
 | I've made a change to the way that quote tags are implemented. As you remember: [quote] by itself will always show the full quote [quote=.....] will show/hide the quote, to eliminate redundancy and having to scroll past huge quotes Now, when you are using the quote tags that show/hide the …  |
| | So I was thinking all last night and all morning about what exactly the algorithm update that happened on Thursday entailed. Word on the street is that they are targeting content farms, and sites with lower quality information. Content quality is all subjective, of course, as opposed to Google's history …  |
| | A new google algorithm was released yesterday which has been targeted at content farms. According to the Google blog, it affects 11% of all search queries on the web, making it one MASSIVE update. We were *significantly* hit, losing about 50% of our traffic we normally get from Google. From … |

| | Do a lot of pages on your site have similar content, use the same redirect script, etc? Google has declared every page of my site that is behind a login wall (content only available to logged in members; guests just see a login box) as Soft 404s. |

| | I currently use Sphinx search, and am attempting to sort my results in time segments mode, which means time segments in descending order and then relevance in descending order. Currently I use SPH_SORT_RELEVANCE, and it works fine. But every time I switch to time segments mode, it returns zero results. … |
| | From an SEO perspective, you would want different pages for the varying content. This way, each individual menu would rank in Google when searching for the particular food that it offers. |
| | I've been on a mission lately to improve the quality of content, especially within the dev forums. This means more native English speakers, more professionals, fewer homework cheaters, etc. Is anyone starting to see any improvements? |
| | Unfortunately, it's not possible. DaniWeb currently sends HTML email only. Perhaps this is something to change in the future. (vBulletin, by default, actually offers only plain text email, and I altered it to send HTML email instead.) |
| | SilverLight is coded with the .NET Framework, and we encourage programming related questions to be posted within our .NET Framework forum. We've been keeping an eye out, but for right now there is too much overlap here.

| | Thanks for the positive reinforcement, Saith!  |
| | I am pretty sure it has been proven that Google penalizes for landing pages with popup/popunder windows, because it negatively affects the user's experience. I was just wondering if they do the same for JavaScript-based modal windows? Or if they are even able to detect them?? |
| | Keyword trackers let you keep track of how many searches specific keywords get in Google, so you can estimate how much traffic you would get by focusing your efforts on those short-tail keywords, and which keywords are the most worthwhile and which have the most competition.  |
| | Well isn't it the idea that all websites be up 24/7? In any case, a blog adds a lot of "authority" and unqiue content to your domain, from an SEO perspective. It adds overall weight and value to the domain name. |
 | I don't believe they will, especially since what you're proposing is a common way of rewriting URLs nowadays. However, for the absolute best navigation hierarchy (for both seo and usability, of course), it's a really good idea to actually create default pages for the two folders as part of your … |
| | 1) Yes, if everything on your site are movies. Otherwise, you might wish to add another level to your directory structure such as [url]www.sitename.com/movies/moviename[/url] and [url]www.sitename.com/tv/tvshowname[/url]. 2) Not sure what you mean here. Is the information about all your 3500 films in a database? What is currently in the movie.php … |

| | I assume you are a publisher and you are trying to put advertising on your site through the Yahoo! Publisher Network (aka YPN). Tried YPN once many years ago, but from what I understand it's not nearly as good as Google Analytics. I recall a bunch of people beta testing … |
| | Never heard of it until you brought it up. Turns out it's a term coined by a guy in an article for the Search Engine Journal -- [url]http://www.searchenginejournal.com/for-keyword-targeting-in-paid-search-beware-the-galaxy-effect/27788/[/url] Basically, he is saying that you should always have a broad reach that expands beyond those who are already loyal to you. |

| | [QUOTE=bjeffries;1475931]Anyone have any insight on this? ... the weird thing is I got an email saying someone replied to this and I dont see anything.[/QUOTE] This happened because a spammer replied to your thread, but then a moderator deleted their post. Try the .htaccess file: [code] RewriteEngine On RewriteRule ^([a-z0-9]+).html$ … |
| | Use CAPTCHA images during the registration process, require users to activate their emails by clicking a link, permanently ban members when their email addresses bounce back (don't delete them because then they can recreate their accounts), and block email domains if you see they're being used primarily by spammers (@yahoo.com … |
| | Hi, Thank you for being a DaniWeb supporter :) I recall an announcement about a year ago or so saying that Google was significantly increasing the weight they put on the age of domains, meaning that a site listed in DMOZ and the Yahoo! directory for ten years carries a … |
| | Essentially you are dangling great content in front of people as bait. It's so enticing, they just can't help but link to it! Link baiting is creating great content that people will naturally want to link to. It makes your job easier trying to get people to link to you, … |

| | Does a link in the Yahoo! directory get you a link anywhere else as well? For example, the way a link in Dmoz gets you a link in the Google directory. |
| | Contribute really great content to your blog on a very frequent basis. Hard work gets rewarded. |
| | What is the difference between <div align="center"> and <div style="text-align:center"> aside from the obvious difference that the latter is CSS? |
