Sure this is a nice addition. Will make this one today.

I have the keyword and the description algos almost ready.

Humm.... lets say in 3 to 4 hours it will be done :grin:

 

[nielsencl]

Great. If the keyword tag it a problem, I would just leave it off and not have any...

WOW this was really a good one.

Implemented it 3 times and everytime it was showing unknown logical errors.

Bumped my head 1000 times in the keyboard and then settled for this solution. Its done now.

Meta descriptions and Meta keywords both. :grin:

Fetches the content from the thread. Makes the description by truncating it to first 100 characters.

Fetches subject as keyword and appends some other keywords to maintain the over all weight of the page.

This is implemented in such a way that it only works for the threads. While the other pages still can have the default description and keywords.

Hey, very nice work! I just looked at a few pages and see that it's working. You are going to have to watch the stats and let us know if you see a difference?

If you are not happy with the results, I have two suggestions:

1) I would not use the same static text in the keywords. It's too easy to spot and get filtered for. The best thing to do is just parse out some of the title and description and use that, or

You could also put together a fairly large list of keywords for the tag, and set it up to rotate them at random.

-domains, keywords, parking, sell domain
-domain host, domain parked, appraise domain, registration fee
-monetize domains, Names Lot forum, hosting, scripts for sale

I'm not crazy about this idea since you will get keyword usage that is not on the page, BUT I don't think that is a huge problem since I think the keywords tag is intended for the most important words, and also things that the page is about, but cannot appear on the page, like misspelled words.

2) You could try using more of the description, up to about 200 characters. I set a limit of about 250 for this tag, so I don't think using more will hurt.

Humm.... the thing is that the keywords are dynamic. Right now. I have only appended some major keywords at the back so they don't carry much weight. But can dilute the effect of the main keyword. Because thought would not like to over do the SEO. For diluting the effect of the dynamic fetched keywords used domain name related keywords because that is the main thing that most of the threads will be discussing about.

Hoping to see some good results from this one. It cannot be bad then the one we were already using.

Lets hope google indexes this new pages faster. Have just submitted a new sitemap 2 hours ago.

And have changed the crawling speed to fastest. From the google webmaster account.

Whoops

11th for "buy and sell domains"

24th for "buy domains"

33rd for "sell domains"

The modification is showing great changes in SERP's. And don't know why but the pages are moving up and down each second for this keywords.

 

[nielsencl]

You should see some variation due to the many thousands of servers Google has and they are not all in sync all the time. I'm more interested in what you see in the web traffic reports once the changes get indexed.

Admin 1200 links have been completed. Thanks. Still trying to make some more so that the changes can be neutralized.

Would it be possible for users to be able to delete their own posts?

Occasionally, I mistakingly make a post twice and I cannot correct it without the assistance of a moderator. This is due to a poor latency on my Internet connection from our old router, so it can happen at any time and I don't want to annoy any of the moderators with such a simple error.

 

[Randall]

Well friend that option was enabled by default. I had to turn it off because sometimes the users make posts lots of posts and then one day they decided to delete them all.

This would not help us anyway in getting good rankings in the search engines. BTW our staff is not bothered by anything. So even if you make mistake of double posting 10 times in a day you can notify the staff just by pushing the report button on the right hand side bottom corner.

Thanks.

 

[Chocokriz]

Ah, okay, that makes sense. My fiancee seems to have fixed the routers, so there aren't any submission errors today.

I was reading another topic at pranavbhat suggested that we have something like an eBay rating system.

Digital Point Forums has an iTrader system in which people who have made transactions on the forums are praised or criticised in a style similar to eBay. We may be too small for a grandiose system, but maybe a section in the profile to leave notes or something might be good in the future?

Just thought I would leave a note about it. Thank you.

 

[domainstations]

Roogle, what you mean is the Rep Points? Yeah that's nice and I think it can be enable in a forum.

 

[Roogle]

It is something like that, but it is reserved only for transactions of some kind. I think it's called the iTrader plugin for vBulletin, so other forums software may have a similar approach - but it's not reputation based on "Oh, nice post, have some reputation!"

 

[Randall]

Rep points system we already have. about the iTrader ratings I will get it working sometime in this week. I will have to code it myself as no plugin would ever work even if it is made for MyBB on our board.

I have changed 80% of the code on this board :grin:

The first page which normally gets more hits used 15 queries. Right now it is using 7 queries but the output is same. So I will check it out and integrate the Trader rating kind of thing into the system.

Thanks for suggesting it.

 

[Randall]

Okay the Trader Rating system is on. I am still coding it but right now you can see it on your profile page.

I am also thinking to let it be on profile page as I don't want to disturb the already indexed pages.

In past also I had to code many modifications to remove the repeating thing like Join Date: Sep 2006 Join Date: Dec 2006 Join Date Blah Blah and Blah.

Was also tired of seeing Online Offline Online Online Offline status of members getting indexed in the search engines and ruining the onpage weight of the keywords.

So this Trader rating if added in the postbit will again ruin all the things that is why I am thinking to let it be on profile page of an individual.
