 | Hi ... We are actually on an *entirely* new platform now, so it would take forever to go through a list of everything that's changed recently. I am sure that once you start browsing around a bit and posting, you'll find things are much more intuitive and easier! Unfortunately, at … |
 | Double-click on the code as if you were doing a Select All to copy and paste it.  |
 | I had no idea. Thanks for letting me know. Should be fixed now :) I was attempting to fix the problem that Firefox is randomly crashing for people and I guess I screwed this up in the process. It's soooo hard to diagnose a problem that I can't replicate! |
| | In the advertising industry, an impression is a view of an ad, and a click is a click of the ad. The CTR (or click-thru rate), is the ratio of clicks to impressions. |
| | Re: Am I human? I blame Davey for writing the questions. Damn you, Davey! Daaaammmnnnnnn youuuuuuu!!!!! |
 | Re: ranking Down You should always be continuing your seo work. I'm confused by your question. You're saying you lost ranking and want to know if you should work harder? The answer is yes. Always yes. Even if you are #1 it can always get better. |
 | Re: Windows 8 The system has to think you're on a mobile device, in which the bottom toolbar is disabled since it doesn't display correctly on the iPhone, iPad, and other devices. We're built on the CodeIgniter PHP framework and use CI's built in mobile detection based on user agents: $mobiles = array( … |
| | Yes. When we redid the entire site, it's apparently taking Google awhile to recrawl everything and get a feel for the new DaniWeb URLs and structure. |
| | There is no way to know what your site's Pagerank is. The Google PR toolbar is obsolete and Google doesn't disclose what their Pagerank algorithm really is. We know that backlinks contribute to Pagerank, but we don't know the details. Therefore, you have no way of really knowing if your … |
 | Re: Profile Update It doesn't exist. Maybe it should. Low on the list of things to do ........ sooooo much to do! So little time!!!!  |

 | Re: Getting replies Hi and welcome to DaniWeb :) A lot of people blame the forums for taking too long to receive replies. The biggest factor, however, is how well you phrase your questions. We're a community of members helping members, and everyone here volunteers their time. So if you don't show any … |
| | Posting within forums relevant to your industry can be vital when first starting out because it helps you gain a name for yourself as a reputable and respected expert within the industry. The clout you can earn on industry forums follows you to your own website, and you gain invaluable … |
 | Re: URL encoding You need to uniquely identify the record ID in order to distinguish loading record 3 from record 4. Or, do you want to just go to findanagent_details.php and have record 4 automatically load 100% of the time?  |
 | We've been approaching the big one million for a loooong time now. Ever since we took down the nag window to encourage registrations, we've been getting just a small fraction of the number of sign-ups as we used to. |

| | Hi, Is it possible to tell how many AdWords impressions are doing placement-targeting (aka site-targeting) to a particular channel? I know that I can pull up an AdSense report which shows a cross section of a particular channel with placement targeting, but it's possible the advertiser is targeting the entire … |

 | > I'd like to see that link made a sticky somewhere so that we can refer to it easily. It appears within every single editor, right above the Undo/Redo buttons. Certainly easier to find than a sticky ;)  |
| | Glad you got it working. I fixed code tags for you. Could you maybe post what you were able to do to fix your code so it might be able to help others in the future?  |
| | Don't keyword stuff your titles. They are the headlines that will show up in the search engines and need to encourage people to click. You can rank #1 for as many terms as you want, but if your page titles aren't enticing, you still will get no traffic. |
| | Re: What is web 2.0 The minimum ten major properties of web 2.0? Is this a homework question or something? O'Reilly originally coined the term Web 2.0 to be synonymous with the interactive web ... A version of the web that acts more like complete applications instead of just hyperlinked documents. Web 2.0 has carved …  |
| | New feature ... The bottom toolbar for logged in members has a button to Recently Viewed Articles. Track where you've been on the site. :) For example, suppose you were reading an article earlier in the day but then got sidetracked and can't find it again. |
| | DaniWeb is written using CodeIgniter. I don't really have any experience with other frameworks, but I do like that it's not very in-your-face. It's super lightweight, and I can take advantage of what I want to take advantage of, and do everything else my own way (to the extent of … |
| | Not sure what you mean? Can you walk me through how to duplicate it? |
| | Try this: RewriteRule ^product/detail/(.*)/$ http://www.domain.com/index.php?route=pro/det&photo_id=$1 [R=301,L] |
| | An ethical SEO firm is one that only uses white hat SEO techniques (as opposed to black hat). Black hat techniques might have huge benefits at first, but they are also very risky and can get your site blacklisted by Google because they use shady techniques against Google's policies. Examples …  |
| | I would add the `/Get_a_quote/` directory to your robots.txt file. I do this whenever there are many pages with near identical content. It is a directive telling the search engine bots not to crawl the directory. Specifically, if it doesn't already exist, create a file called robots.txt at the root … |
| | What abou tit? What's your question? What are you trying to do? |
 | Hmmm .... that's very strange. What happens when you try? |
| | Yes, I know, it's a bug. On the todo list. |
| | Re: Pagerank Update Does PR even mean anything anymore? I didn't know anyone still looked at toolbar PR. Google has announced that it no longer cooresponds to the internal PR they use in their algorithms. |
| | I'm not really sure what you mean, but going back a bunch of years ago, everyone in the SEO industry used the Google Toolbar which indicated the PR (on a scale of 0-10) for the currently loaded page. The site's toolbar PR was an indication of the quality and quantity … |

| | You probably already ruled this out, but by any chance do you have custom CSS being set by your web browser?  |
| | 1. Yes, many other sites are affected. 2. DaniWeb was hit by the Google Panda algorithm update back in February 2011 and it took us until July I think to make a full recovery. 3. Google makes I think somewhere like 200 algorithm changes a year. I forget exactly how … |
| | Unfortunately I've just been soooo busy I haven't yet written the new newsletter script. I was actually working on it a little bit earlier today. I'm going to attempt to finish it this week so we should have a May newsletter going out next week. |

| | It should be super super easy though to vote without rep. Just one click. |
| | I autoload the Session library in CodeIgniter. However, sometimes there are controllers that output XML, JSON, an image, or other mime types, and I don't want these sending back cookies in the header. Is there a way to suppress this on a per-controller basis? |
| | Joseph: HUH???? I have no clue what you just said. Do just what qlipboard said. Get links from a lot of various mid-level trafficked websites within your niche. I say mid-level because you don't want only pages that all have PR0 and no traffic themselves, but you also want to … |
| | Click on the Files button in the editor toolbar.  |
| | Re: Plzz help me How can we help? What is it? What's wrong with it? What are you trying to do with it? |
| | We have permalinks for each individual post in the forum in the format `/posts/jump/123`. These URLs do a 301 redirect to the post in the full article, such as `/full-article-url#post123`. The landing pages have canonical URLs set to the full article URLs. I just recently started having the issue of … |
| | Re: Google page Rate There's no such thing as google page rate. Just google page rank. (Contrary to popular belief, it was actually named after Google co-founder Larry Page). There are two types of page rank - Internal PR and Toolbar PR. Internal PR is the secret Google algorithm that ranks every webpage and … |
The End.
