Re: Do backlinks to disallowed URLs help the domain overall? Digital Media Digital Marketing Search Engine Strategies by MasoodDidThat The sole purpose of disavowing a link is to stop Google from indexing the backlink so it does not affect your ranking.

Re: Problem with MS Office shortcut bar Hardware and Software Microsoft Windows by asadalikhan Nick, this issue sounds like a file association problem.

Community Center Meta DaniWeb by Salem So I've seen two (possibly more) threads that end with the phrase "let's discuss" and an exclamation mark of over-enthusiasm (which is ironic, since it's low post count drive-by accounts posting this stuff). The preambles are well written, but meaningless pith.

I understand that you see a distinction when the OP is trying to start a discussion versus asking for advice or help. However, I don’t understand why you make that distinction in a Q&A discussion forum. Re: Are we being played by AI? Let's Discuss! Community Center Meta DaniWeb by Reverend Jim 1.
