Re: Welcome to DaniWeb and thank you for your contribution! I went ahead and made a small edit by removing the [code=asp] tag you had surrounding the code snippet. Within this code snippet library, that is done automatically for you. It still needs to be done in the forums though. Thanks! | |
Re: Many years ago, search engines didn't like dynamic URLs (URLs with query strings) because you effectively had an infinite number of pages, and robots could get caught in an infinite loop. While that may no longer be the case, Google and many other search engines still highly recommend to limit … | |
Re: Link exchanges do very little for SEO nowadays, but it's good to get your feet wet with other sites in your industry. It gets your name out there a bit. Don't worry about Google toolbar PageRank: it's meaningless. Link to sites that have good, quality content your audience would be … | |
Re: You can see that DaniWeb has the social icons here. It allows you to facebook share or tweet about the current forum thread. Facebook friends and twitter followers of the person who clicked the icon then see a recommendation from the person about the page, and it helps spread good … | |
Re: Google knows that when the header passes a 404, whatever URL was used to get to that page no longer exists. It will deindex that URL. | |
Re: Can Google index your site without making a cached version available in the SERPS? | |
Re: Unfortunately I can't recommend anything other than Google Analytics. There are some more robust solutions out there, but they cost money and are mainly tailored to advanced ROI and eCommerce features. Not only is Google Analytics the best free solution out there, but it is also the industry standard right … | |
Re: I think different things work differently for different people, based on the nature of the website. It *is* important to work on SEO daily, if that is a large part of your traffic. Long tail (ranking for millions of keywords that each don't get a lot of traffic) works better … | |
Re: You want to use 301 redirects. On a Linux (Apache) server, you would do this with an .htaccess file. I'm not sure how you would do this with IIS (Sorry, I don't work with Windows servers). Alternatively, you can do this on a page-by-page level. Either way, you're going to … | |
Re: Wow, you learn something new every day. I didn't even know about this G product. Seems like data mining at its best! | |
Re: Alexa, owned by Amazon, is a service which attempts to guestimate / extrapolate how much traffic a domain name gets based on a sample size. It then goes on to rank the top 100,000 most popular sites on the web according to popularity both globally and by country. | |
Re: > You can't "undo" a up/down vote or reputation. Once an up/down arrow is clicked, closing the window which pops up just removes the ability to add a reputation comment. The up/down vote remains. This has been fixed, actually. You now CAN undo an up/down vote. Therefore, if you click … | |
Re: [QUOTE=Ancient Dragon;690736]Happy Birthday! Actually, it isn't your brithday -- its the celebration of your birthday. You only have one birthday in your life :)[/QUOTE] According to Wikipedia, [quote]Birthday is the name given to the date of the anniversary of a person's birth. People in many cultures celebrate this anniversary. In … | |
Re: Years ago, Google used to update their pagerank algorithm quarterly. However, the public PR as shown in the Google toolbar is all but deprecated. Bottom line = It's a worthless statistic that google rarely updates and is not really a reflection of how you rank in the search engines. | |
Re: Create a Facebook group to engage in back-and-forth communication with your clients. Use it to gain feedback about your product/service. Put Facebook 'Like' buttons on your website like we have here, and each time someone 'Likes' it, they tell their friends about it on their wall, and so word of … | |
Re: That page no longer exists. The link to it is within a really old forum post from 2004. It really wasn't anything specific aside from basic vBulletin guidance. | |
Re: I got my permit as soon as I turned 16, my junior license later in the year while still 16, and it automatically converted to a full license on my 17th birthday. | |
Re: I would go with .co.in. It seems to be the nationwide standard (i.e. google.in redirects to google.co.in). | |
Re: An amount that appears naturally to be growing over time. If you have 10 backlinks total over the course of a year and suddenly increase by 50 in a day, that seems a little suspicious to Google. On the other hand, if you have 5,000, growing by 10 could be … | |
What software can I use to compress and back-up an image of my drive to DVD-R? | |
Re: Create good, unique, useful content that people will enjoy. | |
A thread was started ([url]http://www.daniweb.com/community-center/daniweb-community-feedback/threads/363816[/url]) inquiring about creating an objective-C forum. I am open to this as long as it is indeed a unique language with unique characteristics (and not a subset of C or C++, for example). However, my main hesitation is that creating a forum is, often times, … | |
Re: Should be fixed. Unfortunately it had to wait for me to wake up and make it over to the computer to notice the problem. | |
Re: I think this might be a bug with our search feature. I'll look into it, although probably not this week. | |
Re: > Some members the way they are answering for doubts are really useful. > I said they are giving impressive answers quickly for java queries. Why didn't you say so in the first place? :) | |
Re: I'm still waiting on your redo ;) The only reason I'm asking is because inscissor was over at my house the other day and we were talking about how he just set up something like this on a php site he was working on ... so it reminded me. | |
Re: Anyone is free to use twittercounter.com (or another similar website) to automatically tweet off of an RSS feed. | |
Re: Signatures don't show up unless you're logged in. | |
Re: Umm ... We're not going to just do your homework assignment for you. Try the assignment yourself, and post in the appropriate language forum (C++, Java, etc) along with what you've tried so far and exactly where you're stuck. | |
Re: What tracking code? Are you talking about Google Analytics? | |
Soooo ... In response to the thread at [url]http://www.daniweb.com/software-development/objective-c/threads/363937[/url] a new Objective-C forum has just been created within the Software Development category. You may need to empty your browser's cache in order for it to appear in the navigation menu dropdown. | |
Re: The JavaScript isn't loading? Or you have JavaScript disabled? Try clearing your browser cache. | |
Re: I'm not sure what you mean by what language? SEO isn't a programming language. However, as with anything on the web, it's a good idea to have XHTML/CSS under your belt. | |
Re: PPC is pay-per-click advertising. It's when you buy advertising by paying for each individual click. Often times, PPC is associated with search engine advertising, such as Google AdWords. | |
Re: I am thinking (because you are not a bank yourself) you will need to first do a credit/debit card/check payment from one person, and then a wire/ACH transfer to the other person. | |
Re: The keyword is quality backlinks: give people a reason to want to link to you. Don't spam or plug your website in other forums ... it seems that's what you're doing, and all that will do is give you a bad reputation in your industry. | |
Re: On DaniWeb, all members can have forum signatures, but they only show up to other registered members of the community. | |
Re: Forums are a great way to supplement your traffic by making a name for yourself (and your brand) within your niche, by posting to forums within your industry and proving yourself as someone who knows their stuff. However, I'd be hard-pressed to find someone who can rely entirely on them. | |
Re: Each time an article on your site ranks highly for a particular keyword, regularly create new content about similar keyword phrases. | |
Re: Mackone is right as far as getting search engine optimization to work for you. Word of mouth is the best form of marketing that exists on the web ... It gets buzz going about your business while building backlinks (links to your website from other sites on the 'net) all … | |
Re: That kinda would be cool. But it might also just end up coming off as a Twitter-copycat gimmick. :-/ But yeah, cool interesting things to add to the social networking component of DaniWeb would definitely be great. Just need the great ideas ... ;) | |
Us Long Islanders are bracing ourselves as we prepare for Hurricane Irene ... Some people on the south shore have already been evicted. How bad do you think it's going to be? I don't know what it is with natural disasters lately. So far this year we've been hit with … | |
Re: Hi Dave, I'm not sure what version of vBulletin you are running, but with the 3.x line, you can do this with template conditionals. Add the following to the <head> section of the SHOWTHREAD template: [code]<if condition="!$threadinfo['replycount']"><meta name="robots" content="noindex" /></if>[/code] |
The End.
