 | I think the best option is what I'm doing. For undergraduate, a B.S. in Computer Science with a minor in Business Computer Information Systems (So I get a taste of Business IT/CIS in my minor) with all of the math and programming skills in my major. Now that I'm graduating, …  |

| | Just wanna check up on something ... Personally, I've never connected to a database via ODBC. However, just wanna check: You say you used the command Set db = DBEngine.Workspaces(0).OpenDatabase("[b]dbsourcename[/b]", ,"DSN=[b]dbsourcename[/b];UID=[b]MyUID[/b];PWD=[b]Mypassw[/b]") to connect to the database. You *DID* replace the items in bold with your own variables, right? Just making … |

 | It means that if you want to rank for the keyword "blue and white shoes" then don't force every single site that links to you through your marketing efforts to use the anchor text "blue and white shoes". That looks really unnatural and obvious that you are behind placing those … |
| | I'm pretty well acquainted with most of Google's offerings, but unfortunately I don't think they do. Google Buzz is the only thing that comes to mind, but it's not really a bookmarking service. |
 | You're going to pay $100 out of pocket to some lucky member? ;) |
| | Hi ... Yeah, your question is a little long :) I guess what I'm confused about is what specifically you are asking. It's hard to give you feedback because many of the links in your dynamic version don't work. For example, I clicked on Replacement Light Bulbs and all of … |

| | Unless you're awfully new here, you know that this site was recently moved from [url]www.techtalkforums.com[/url] over to [url]www.daniweb.com[/url] How can I get Google and the rest of the biggies to re-index daniweb.com with its new content, without spamming the hell outta the engines? |
| | Re: frames Yes, slightly, but not nearly to the full extent that a non-frames page could be. Just make sure that the frames page has meta tags in addition to all of the frames themselves. Also, be sure to include a NOFRAMES tag with hyperlinks to all of the framed pages. May …  |
| | I use Google AdSense primarily. When Google ads are unavailable for a given page (i.e. page hasn't yet been spidered for google) then ValueClick skyscraper ads are used instead. |

| | I think I'm confused what you're trying to accomplish. Manual submission?? I think what you're trying to do is build backlinks ... incoming links from other sites to your website to increase natural listings in the search engines. A couple of links from a forum aren't going to do anything. … |

 | Hi, It looks as if the reason only moderators currently have access was because the announcement was set to expire last month. vBulletin requires that an end-date be set for all announcements. Because this one was created back in 2004, at the time the year 2010 seemed so distantly far …  |

| | Re: Sounds weird I'm not sure what CB hoplinks are?? However, the more links from the widest variety of places the better ... as long as the links aren't from bad neighborhoods. If you were banned from Google, you can usually go into Google Webmaster Tools and submit a reinclusion request.  |
| | This is really funny. |
| | Mark thread as being a waste of time is essentially what down voting the first post in a thread does. Then, when skimming the list of threads, just don't go into any of them that are indicating down votes. |
| | I don't think it's a matter of a greater percentage of people screwing up as much as it is just more posts being made in general. However, I can definitely understand the frustration. I went ahead and made it so that members must have either a reputation of at least … |

 | [I]> However, the most applicable means of identifying the thief will be the integrated use of the iPhone camera into the security measures.
