After years of ignorance about the web , I found digitalpoint and a whole new world opened. I have had a few sites for the last couple of years. I knew NOTHING.. (looking back) ... about promoting a site, optimizing sites, how PR is gained. I had the mentality 'build it and google will come and give my sites good rankings' . The pain of the ignorance can be overwhelming. I once read somewhere , the more links you have the better PR and SERPS you get. So thinking I was being "clever" i got a DMOZ clone script and within months had 24,000 pages indexed in google with site wide links to my site. There were other foolish attempts at getting better rankings but I will not bore you with them. I had a couple of PR3 and PR4 sites. Needless to say I only have PR1 and PR2 sites now. I have learnt a great deal over the last few weeks. I even have some pages appearing on the first page for some terms on Yahoo and MSN. I am really, really happy to have found digitalpoint, the fantastic forums and the great tools.
Welcome. And I agree DP is one of the best, if not THE best webmaster resource on thw web. I have learned much in my few months here
Welcome, glad you found DP. I can't say DP has helped me much, but I really don't know what i'd do without the general chat area. I talk so much shit - It is like a daily colonic irrigation for me. Nice to have you here, philly nilly willyyyy
