I wish I had the answer to that billion dollar question!! It used to be links in blog posts, but now that most blog posts are low quality AI-generated garbage, links within them aren't worth very much since Google understands those articles are churned out without real expertise or a …
> 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.
[Here you go](https://www.daniweb.com/digital-media/digital-marketing/search-engine-strategies/threads/538406/what-is-search-engine-optimization-strategies)
Read articles. Read forums. You'll learn the same way you learned SEO.
Google said at today's Google Search Central Live event that a core update is in the works and coming soon, although not necessarily before the holidays. This is different than previous years where, best I can recollect, Google almost always rolled out a core update right at the beginning of …
> E ok wait I didn’t even read this @m_oyz Huh?? I really wish I could offer more help but I have no experience with Microsoft Dynamics, I'm afraid. However, it sounds like the answer to your question is how much of your company's resources it makes sense to put …
As mentioned, what would you like the script to do?
This is a very quick 'n' simple vBulletin SEO hack. It's easy to apply and it's the one I have been using here on DaniWeb for the past couple of months. I was going to wait until we went vB 3.5 to release it but I might as well do …
I'm not sure what you mean by "hack" and why you want to hack some educational website for kids? There is, of course, ethical hacking, which is a completely legal security field, but that doesn't seem to be what you're interested in. If you are referring to the unauthorized, illegal …
It has not been my experience that design sacrifices speed. The problem with heavy plugins and scripts is that they are generally coded poorly. You can almost always accomplish the same thing in a performant way. I would add caching to the list. I cache, not just static files but …
What do you think is the biggest skill gap that you generally see between junior and senior developers today?
What part of home computing has literally received no innovation over the past handful of decades (or backwards innovation!) and still feels like it's still stuck in the 1990s? Inkjet printers? Computer speakers? Keyboards and mice? iPhone text messages on Microsoft Windows? (OK, so iPhones didn't even exist back then, …
I know that Nvidia cards are pushing the envelope these days with AI, but are we hitting diminishing returns with consumer hardware performance? On one hand, I'm not hearing the Intel vs. AMD competition trying to outdo each other in gigahertz that was the big thing in the 90s, but …
What's the most annoying hardware failure you've ever had and what did it teach you? I'll go first. Check your RAM and make backups of backups.
It looks like you have 800 pages that have been successfully crawled by Google, but Google chose not to index them because it felt as if they were too low quality (or some other reason) to make it into the index. Start by reviewing the pages that are in this …
How do you think the hardware that you use today shapes the kind of person you become in the future? I was never someone glued to my phone until a few years ago. Today I am, for sure. I'm most likely much less present because of it.
What do you miss most about the early Internet that today's generation will never experience? I'm going to answer this question from the perspective of a web entrepreneur. I miss most the wonder of it all. Everything was new. It was easier than ever to build something from scratch and …
After an argument with my husband this morning because I barged into his office when he was in a video call with his manager, I thought I'd ask how things have changed for you since COVID and the whole work from home era? Back in New York, I had an …
How do you think the "developer lifestyle" has changed from when you started today? Better, worse, or just different? I feel like at the very least, we can probably all acknowledge that it's become a lot more mainstream these days and is looked upon as a career that has the …
Hello and welcome to DaniWeb!! It looks like you posted some code [over here](https://www.daniweb.com/programming/game-development/threads/541416/seeking-help-for-creating-a-circle-generator-tool#post2306202) already.
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 …
Here are all of the [topics we currently cover](https://www.daniweb.com/community/tags/0/articles). Is there anything we're missing that you'd like to talk about, that just absolutely don't fit into any other boxes? I get that there's pretty much a subreddit (or Stack Overflow tag, for that matter) for everything these days ... but …
> Do you usually prioritize technical SEO first, or on-page SEO? Technical SEO *is* on-page SEO.
I would prefer not to hijack this tech question with a discussion about Dani AI. [Please continue the Dani AI discussion here.](https://www.daniweb.com/community-center/meta-daniweb/threads/544369/dani-ai-discussion) Thanks!
I think it's just like any project, really. Break code up into classes, functions, and different files. However, why are you using javascript to add CSS to debugOutput instead of: #debugOutput { position: absolute; padding: 10px; ... } I would strongly avoid doing that if you could at all avoid …
What do you think is a tech skill that you mastered early in your career that's now considered completely obsolete? I guess for me I used to be really into building computers (e.g. assembling from parts as we all did back in the 1990s, not doing digital circuitry lol), and …
Inkscape thanks you. However, Inkscape uses AI? I'm confused.
One of the main reasons that we switched from forums (for the top handful of programming languages) to tags years back is because the number of programming languages just kept increasing, and it became untenable to have a separate forum for each of them. With so many languages and technologies …
What's your setup like? For the longest time, I used to use Zend PHP Studio, which was a proprietary fork of Eclipse. Then for macOS I used Coda for some time, which has been discontinued and the developers now have Nova instead. Nowadays I use PHPStorm.
What was the first piece of technology that made you think, "The future is here!"? For me, it was when I got dial-up Internet when I was around 13 or 14 years old.
For a PHP app, I find application/x-www-form-urlencoded the easiest to work with. It's just a simple cURL GET or POST request, the same way an HTML form does it. application/json means that I need to format the payload as a JSON object first and make the request that way. It's …
I would read absolutely *everything* I can get my hands on at https://www.seroundtable.com/, https://searchengineland.com/, and https://www.searchenginejournal.com/ and then go from there.
> All tips marked 1. ? Weird. That is built into the Markdown language. Part of the Markdown standard is that, regardless of what number you write (e.g. for convenience, you can write `1. ` in front of every single line of a very long list, numbered lists are automagically …
Just thought I'd get yet another discussion started :) I need some time to think of my own answer to this one.
I've answered this one a thousand times around these parts already, but I'll say it again. I just love being able to conceive of something in the morning, create it in the afternoon, and by evening see people all around the world use something that was just a glimmer in …
This is more of a question for you offshore devs. How do you think that your opportunities have changed compare to 20 or even just 10 years ago?
The only one I know about is Bitbucket. What is your use case? Are you looking to host public or private Git repositories?
https://www.daniweb.com/stats/members Note the heading: 18.6K active members out of 1.2M total members. Then, if you filter just to members with posts, it’s only 1000 members. Note that this page’s definition of active members are members that have logged in sometime over the past year. DaniWeb has existed since 2002, and …
What tech-related cultural norms today do you think would have shocked you early in your career?
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 that before something like this would be useful, what the world *really* needs is an accurate way of detecting AI-generated content that doesn't have an overwhelming amount of false positives or false negatives. For now, I wouldn't really mind uploading to a content AI detector, as long as …
Here's a question to stump you: What standalone software do you use that you purchased a license to outright? No subscriptions. Nothing in the cloud. No new versions that come out every 12 months and urge you to repurchase.
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 …
AI shook up a lot of industries, and the dust is still settling. For now, we can see that Google's AI Overviews have significantly changed the number of searchers who actually click on the search results, and how they interact with the results that they *do* click on. SEO tools …
What do you want the took to do? How will AI be beneficial for your tool?
Fewer DOM nodes means less to parse. Don't overly nest DOM nodes as well. Avoid inefficient CSS selectors. Use simple selectors as much as possible like `.class` or `#id` and avoid things like the `*` wildcard. Eliminate as much unused CSS as possible. Keep in mind that any changes to …
Hello @JasonReed!! Welcome to DaniWeb. Take some time to browse around and I look forward to your posts.
I think they target different demographics. CodeCanyon will be used by people new to web development that want to upload a fully working script to their webhost and then tweak and customize it here and there. Those people are not going to want to spend the many hours it takes …
The End.
