I know that Google has a few alternatives such as Bing and DuckDuckGo, among others. However, back when I first got into SEO, there were a dozen search engines: GoTo.com, Yahoo!, Excite, Lycos, etc. They each brought a decent amount of traffic. Why is it that Google has become such …
I use Chrome, although I admit that Firefox has a good number of advanced plugins beyond the well-known Firebug and Webmaster Tools.
In the vein of a bunch of TV shows I've been watching recently (Humans, Pantheon, etc.), would you upload your brain to the cloud if it meant immortality but no physical body?
Aside from all the tinkering and learning I did as a self-taught elementary school student in the 1980s, the first real fully-functioning app I've ever programmed from soup to nuts was a Mavis Beacon Teaches Typing clone in Visual Basic 6. I was in middle school at the time and …
Thanks for posting your tips. I think that some of the things you mention, such as giving website visitors instant gratification, unfortunately often get overlooked. That being said, I get that you say how important it is to sound like a human, but are your tips AI generated? (According to …
If that’s your thing, there’s nothing illegal or wrong with porn. Lots of people watch it, right? A porn website is definitely on the seedier side of the web, but there’s a lot of money in it and it’s completely legal income. I know a handful of different people, some …
It depends on how big the company is and if anyone in the company already has SEO and marketing experience. Typically, I am a fan of full-service agencies for mid-sized businesses that come up with strategies but then also put those strategies into action, as well as track results. I …
> Let's see what happens with the August update; we might all need help to get more traffic. Which August update are you referring to? The last core update was in June.
I would look for an agency that excels at both technical SEO as well as white hat link building, and that is very strong when it comes to digital PR. The digital PR side is where I consider myself to have failed in my career. Also, I would choose a …
I think you're referring to physical memory (hard drive space) and not random access memory (RAM). Using up all your hdd space can make your phone go slower. RAM is transient and is just the memory the apps you currently have open at the time are using. The amount of …
I don't protect my online presence at all. My email is listed on DaniWeb's contact page, and I have never taken effort to use javascript to obfuscate it. I guess I just assume it's already been out there for so long, and I've always included it in media kits, biz …
So a huge pet peeve of mine right now is that Adobe has discontinued purchasing any of their software (Adobe Acrobat Pro, Adobe Photoshop, etc.) outright, and now it's subscription only. I know that Microsoft Office 365 is also subscription based, but correct me if I'm wrong, but they have …
I'm so sorry!! Were you able to figure out how to recover your data?
Does the PDF have data in tabular format? You might have better luck opening it in Microsoft Word.
It has to be Screaming Frog for me. What tools can't *you* live without?
Nice! Thank you for joining us all those years ago. :)
Don't forget that if you are not going with an out-of-the-box solution, such as Mailchimp, Sendgrid, etc., that you will need to clean the list on your own! That means purging bounced addresses, purging addresses that don't interact with your emails, etc.
Hello and welcome to DaniWeb! If you *do* want to chat about SEO, I’m your gal! ;)
Swagger has been replaced by OpenAPI, so I guess yeah. The only thing I really use is Postman.
There are a lot of reviews online about both, and both have pretty negative reviews. **Always, always use an ESP that has warmed up e-mail addresses!** It’s going to cost you quite a bit more, but this isn’t a place where you can go the cheap route. Use a reputable …
Of course not. Ahrefs, Moz, etc. all have their own crawlers, and their reports are limited to the data their crawlers collect. Unfortunately, their crawlers are not able to identify what Google might like or dislike about any particular URL. Therefore, there’s no way of knowing for sure which backlinks …
Do you mean like Salesforce (and its plug-ins)?
A friend in the SEO industry (Jim Boykin) used to have a Delorean he bought off of EBay with the license plate TIMECAR. He’s since sold it, unfortunately.
I think astrology is a huge part of Indian culture.
I'm not sure what you mean by nested if conditions. Why do you have a need to write nested ifs (unless it's because that's what your teacher is asking for?) Can you give us a little more information as to what you want your calculator to do, as well as …
DaniWeb doesn’t have a marketplace anymore, but I think your question is much better served on one of those marketplace websites that matches entrepreneurs to partners. You can also try DaniWeb Connect at https://www.daniweb.com/connect/ It’s like Tinder for Business.
As rproffitt says, different forms of advertising perform very differently totally depending on what is being promoted as well as the target audience.
I’m going to assume you’re using Auth0. Although I don’t have any Okta experience personally, the DaniWeb API is Oauth2 based, so I’m going to assume they work in a similar way. If I’m understanding you properly, you’re looking to use an access token across both an SPA app and …
That sounds really interesting. Did you ever launch the SDK? I am a bit in the same boat as you as DaniWeb Connect has an API but I have been really struggling getting it adopted. Sorry I can't be more help to you directly.
This isn’t my forte, but I would never auto play a video that includes sound. Also, depending on the design, I would lazy load the video with a static placeholder showing while the video is loading.
I'd like to continue the conversation about Dani AI [going on over here](https://www.daniweb.com/programming/software-development/threads/540350/any-iast-tool-to-recommend) without hijacking a tech question. So, without further ado ... > -1 for the Dani AI content. Why downvote someone for asking a question 2 years ago that has had Dani AI added to it 1 month …
What you are describing seems like a CSS or Javascript issue (most likely CSS). It's possible that there is a bug in the server-side code that is serving the wrong CSS files to you for some reason (it could be based on IP address, geographic location, browser user-agent, logged in …
AI is just in its infancy, and right now everyone and their mother is using it to quickly get access to information online more efficiently than a Google search, and generate articles and content for the web. A lot of companies are also switching to AI agents to power customer …
Not a whole ton of freelance consulting experience here, but enough to quote, “Walking on water and developing software from a specification are easy if both are frozen.” -- Edward V. Berard
Why not just focus entirely on your food business and partner with Instacart to make your products easily accessible via online shopping?
Here at DaniWeb, we use headless Chrome to create browser screenshots. I make requests from PHP like this: @shell_exec('timeout 15s /usr/bin/google-chrome --headless ...
There's a huge price difference between hosting packages and managed hosting packages, so this is definitely something to take into consideration when selecting a hosting provider. I would say the answer depends on how technical you are and how mission critical the website(s) you're looking to host are. For example, …
Looks like the domain is parked with GoDaddy. Another programming site gone, unfortunately. The display ad-driven business model just doesn't work anymore in the current web landscape, and too many sites, DaniWeb included, have had a difficult time pivoting.
Hi everyone! Long time, no chat. I know I've been gone from here for a long time now. My health has been pretty poor. I've been very, very drowsy and it's been difficult to sit in front of the computer screen. However, I've been in a lot less pain (aka …
Use a CDN like Cloudflare. Don't use too many third-party plug-ins. They always slow down a site and create bloat. Use Google PageSpeed Insights, WebPageTest.org, and GTMetrix.
Hi Ryan! Welcome to DaniWeb. :) Why don't you tell us a little about yourself?
Out of curiosity, can you explain what you don't like about Plex?
As [you can see here](https://www.daniweb.com/stats/members?country=&filter=&sort=timestamp), we get lots of new members signing up every day, but nearly no one posts. This has been true for decades and decades now. Anyone care to hypothesize why all these people sign up if not to contribute? #Lurker
Currently the thing I hate most about TV shows is how much time elapses between seasons. I feel like I've been waiting for season 2 of Severance on AppleTV for *forever*! (It's been over 2 years already since season 1 debuted.) Speaking of that, is there ever going to be …
Hi there Mike :) Welcome to DaniWeb. Don't mind Alexline ... sometimes newbies don't know / understand proper forum etiquette so we give them a little extra slack as long as it shows they are trying to be courteous and trying.
> YEARWEEK(NOW(), 1) returns a number of the current week. It looks like they're trying to see if the week of $givenDate is the same as the current week of the year.
I know Cloudflare has functionality to block AI bots. However, I heard something about them charging AI bots for access and then passing that money off to the website. Has anyone else heard of this before?
The End.
