I didn't find much benefit from having my site listed with the yahoo directory. but in all honesty, you won't get much benefit from submitting to 8,000 worthless directories either. your best bet is to do manual link building, by contacting webmasters with either authoritative or semi-authoritative sites, asking them …

or you could just use SiteExplorer which does it all for you, [url]http://siteexplorer.search.yahoo.com/search?p=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.daniweb.com&bwm=i&bwmf=u&bwms=p&fr=yfp-t-501&fr2=seo-rd-se[/url]

I've used it for a few projects. I like it. I feel each CMS has it's own purpose though. Joomla Drupal Wordpress Those are the 3 primaries that I use.

good catch, thx for the heads up.

The fastest and most efficient way to get spidered at a more rapid rate is to get more backlinks going to your site. The more backlinks you get to your site, the more Google will think your site is important and will want to check for updated content. Hope that …

In the past few weeks, we have seen Microsoft trying to acquire Yahoo! for some $46-odd billion dollars. They failed. So, moving on, they are [URL="http://furrier.org/2008/05/19/silicon-valley-rumor-microsoft-to-buy-yahoo-search-and-then-facebook/"]trying to acquire Facebook now[/URL]. Mark Zuckerberg is standing firm on this one though. They are decisively saying "no" to the acquisition. [URL="http://www.ginside.com/2008/1589/google-to-buy-facebook/"]Facebook is not …

Wordpress 2.5 has been under development for 6 months.

As [URL="http://www.macrumors.com/2008/03/28/3g-iphone-in-bidding/"]rumored[/URL] around the web, the Apple iPhone with 3G support is coming out soon! The iPhone has been a revolutionary tool for consumers, corporate America, and users around the world. I held back from purchasing an iPhone largely in part because it lacked stable support for the 3G network. …

that's what I'm holding out for. iPhone on 3G + 32gb capacity

Great, 'cause I ordered mine a week ago :)

I'm excited! I pre-ordered my Air yesterday. The option of SSD is quite a bit more expensive, but worth every penny. SSD is what I was really waiting for and I'm glad I waited for it.

I wouldn't consider it being quality traffic. You can certainly get more traffic, but more often than not, those visitors are looking for the image only and not content.

There are a number of ways you can make money online. One is by creating a site, creating unique and original content, then marketing it online. Another method is by using a PPC system such as AdWords to generate traffic to affiliate related sites. Take a look at [url]www.johnchow.com[/url] and …

there's no way to do that because that's not the purpose of Illustrator. Illustrator is for designing something, not using something.

I essentially don't even look at my stats anymore. I was earning $20-$40/mo, so I would receive a check here and there for minimal traffic. but overall, I am not happy with its performance on my network.

I would suggest stronger backlinks. if you are commenting on sites, that's not going to get you "organic" backlinks. you want people to start linking to you naturally without you having to ask for the links. I always recommend this: create content which draws people in, content that makes people …

In short, commenting will not help you. It may drive a few hits here and there to your site, but search engines will not consider those links as authoritative links. Nearly all links on blogs within the comments are nofollowed to help with moderation of the web as a whole. …

The domain extension doesn't have nearly the amount of power has people have believed, in my opinion. If you have money.eu or money.in or money.biz, you're still going to rank high if you have the backlinks to support it. A larger issue with selecting your target audience is to think …

ithelp is correct. the ads being run on daniweb are for premium publishers only. in short, you need to have 20 million+ pageviews per month to even be considered as a premium publisher.

I wrote an article explaining all of this a while back, take a look at it. [URL="http://www.ginside.com/2007/1253/myth-buster-virtual-host-vs-dedicated-ips/"][Myth Buster] Virtual Host vs. Dedicated IPs[/URL]

Welcome to Daniweb!

you probably shouldn't look for a free host, you need to buy hosting. there are a ton of cheap hosts out there, such as SliceHost.com or LiquidWeb.com or Dreamhost.com A free host won't give you what you're looking for as far as flexibility goes. BUT, if you really want a …

off-site optimization is definitely something to be concerned with. Sometimes it's out of your control, but with whatever control you do have of it, you want to use it to your benefit. optimized anchor text, optimized title tags, relevant sites linking to you, sites linking to you with a lot …

it's pretty easy to use PPC to increase your traffic. write good copytext that will encourage users to click, but still be interested in your service/product. but, you're going to end up paying for what you get. depending on your industry, it could be cheap or could be expensive. law …

I think that gets down to the nitty gritty of which niche you are part of. A lyrics website I run is completely custom coded, something we've been developing for over 3 years now. my personal blog uses Wordpress with a custom theme, so it has branding as well as …

I like Pixelmator better than GIMP, better usability, I feel. It does cost $60 or something like that, but I thin it's entirely worth it. [url]http://www.pixelmator.com/[/url]

I would sign up and look at what [url]www.box.net[/url] is doing, they really know how to do it right.

It's impossible. Browsers need to be able to render images. Even if they couldn't save them, they could just take a screenshot and paste them into a favorite image editor. The best bet for you is to watermark the images. [url]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_watermarking[/url]

I would check out this site: [url]http://www.topseos.com/[/url] Some good companies listed there that you can work with.

I Strongly recommend the 30" Apple Cinema display if you can afford it. Otherwise, I have dual 20" AOC monitors which work great. I like Samsung monitors, most of the electronics are Samsung in my apt.

A personal recommendation would be to use [url]www.10e20.com[/url] -- they are close friends of mine that I respect. I know they do quality work. It's not cheap, but it's worth every penny.

why are you separating them into TabsLeft and TabsLeft2 etc etc. it would be better to just make them all in one list.

for users that are already using leopard, it wont be a huge change. there will be some minor updates, but it's really just like a Service Pack for Windows.

probably just a small google shakeup, it happens from time to time. it will normally settle back down and you'll be back where you were. one thing to note, make sure that you are returning a 200 status code for your homepage or subpage that you're ranking for, so that …

well, in case you hadn't seen the news, Yahoo! created a partnership with Google to start using their ad serving technology within their search results. Based on that agreement, I can only assume that Yahoo! has no short-term intention of completing the product since they feel it isn't working.

essentially, no limit. unless you plan on having billions of records.
