Huh? What do you mean? I haven't made any changes to the ICODE tag?? I didn't even know there ever was a problem with the icode tag?

I think that the distinction between what falls under Software Development and what falls under Web Development are "most popular use" cases. There is sooo much crossover nowadays, as the same technologies are being used for both web and non-web based applications, that it's often indistinguishable.

Well they're not entirely separate things because you cannot give reputation without up/downvoting. Basically, you can up or down vote. And then, if you want your vote to affect someone's reputation, it's an "advanced feature" of voting.

We already have a Mobile Development forum and it is not very active at all. I'd like to see some more activity revolving around mobile dev before we would consider adding additional forums to cater to it.

[QUOTE=chriscentrally;1496805]It's called retargeting and this is done through cookies on your website. Retargeting essentially is a service that advertisers use to drive you back to their website.

Mention both keywords on the page. But don't do keyword stuffing, where it is in an unnatural way.

Is there any very rough estimate of how long it would take to recrawl our site, since we just changed around our entire URL structure. We are 301 Redirecting all the old urls to their new homes.

I echo canadafred's opinion on having two separate very niche sites. As long as they link to each other, and you have a handful of backlinks going to each one of them, I can't see the disadvantage.

I think it is most appropriate for sites that don't already have their own elaborate commenting systems or form of UGC, like forums do.

We have a new URL structure for forums and threads, that hopefully is user friendly and allows you to see where in the website's hierarchy you currently are.

I would have to definitely say that a Computer Science degree is much more prestigious than an IT degree. 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.

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.

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 …

Many years ago, keyword density was very important to SEO. Keyword density was having the exact perfect ratio of keywords to the content as a whole. 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 …

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. On the other hand, we also have a Graphics and Multimedia forum ([url]http://www.daniweb.com/forums/forum28.html[/url]) …

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.

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.
