Hello Sonya,

Installing the forums is very simple. Just copy the forum folder with all the asp files to your web host then point your browser to the forum URL. You can find the default administrator username and password in the read me files.

If you have any other questions I am sure someone will be able to help

Thanks a lot for responding..

Ya.. I have many queries.. you guys may find them silly.. but I m new to this..

Anyway.. can I ask u some more..??

Actually... I want to know that since I have downloaded "web_wiz_forums_SQL_Server_v7.97.zip".. and now I want to install it too..

But do i need to buy it..?? or I can use this forum on my site as it is..?? Is there any limitation since it's a free download??? Do I have to have some knowledge about datatbase and SQL thing... cause I m basically a web-designer and not a programmer..

and can anyone help me if I want to design my forum according to my needs.. I mean can I ask Web-wiz ppl to design forum as per my instructions..?? how much they will charge it??

Thanks in advance.. waiting for ur reply guys..!!

I am more than happy to help design the forum as per your instructions I have sent a PM.

You don't have to pay as long as you leave the Google Ads and Links to Web Wiz Guide.

No, you dont need to know a lot of stuff to do with databases and SQL. When I started to use the forums I was in your position

Search Engine Optimizatiion is normally to do with search engine submission and website ranking etc...

There are many pieces of software out there that are useful for SEO.

I would recommend http://www.trafficseeker.com/cgi-bin/reseller/clickthru.cgi?id=JamesR - TrafficSeeker

I don't recomment any SEO software.

Look at your site from a search engine viewpoint - not your viewpoint. They want to send searchers to sites that have content that means something to people searching for specific things. Provide that content and make your site easy to navigate - no flash navigation and only simple java script. Get the Lynx browser and look at your site with it - that's how a search engine sees your site.

Just write good content that emphasizes you chosen keywords and submit yourself to google, msn, yahoo, and aol. No one else matters. Get the google toolbar and turn on the option to show page rank. Get links to your site from highly ranked pages with similar keywords/in same business sector. Be prepared to wait a few weeks for your wite to be indexed.

As the boss said... Google is your friend. Tons of sites on how to do search engine optimization - not just to charge you a fee for a half-done job.

Check the newgroup news://alt.internet.search-engines - news://alt.internet.search-engines as well

Lead me not into temptation... I know the short cut, follow me.

Personally I have never liked newsgroups, mostly because there is no real sense of community and because they are republished in web form with your e-mail open to the spam bots.

For SEO I recommend Web Master world (google it)

Hey guys ..

Can u plz tell me what does this mean???

Windows 2000 with IIS 5, http://www.microsoft.com/data/ - Microsoft MDAC 2.6+

Microsoft Access Version
http://www.microsoft.com/data/ - Microsoft's MDAC 2.6+ drivers need to be installed on the web server.
Microsoft SQL Server version
A Microsoft SQL Server 2000, 2005, MSDE, or SQL 2005 Express database is required. Also http://www.microsoft.com/data/ - Microsoft's MDAC 2.6+ drivers need to be installed on the web server.

What is Microsoft MDAC 2.6+???

MDAC are the MS Data Access Components. All hosts have them installed. Windows XP comes with 2.7 already, Server 2003 I think has 2.8 by default... It's kind of an old statement you don't really have to worry about anymore.

If you have a business (depending on what you are doing of course), I really wouldn't recommend having adsense ads on the site. You might loose valuable customers ready to spend money for the sake of a few cents.

hey buddy,

thanks for ur valuable input..

But then tell me what should I do to attract traffic to my site.?? I thought of adding Adsense just to generate some revenue and to have some traffic.

Posted By: Gullanian
Date Posted: 22 March 2006 at 7:51pm

Adsense doesn't bring in any traffic at all. It's just sitting there for your traffic. You can use Google AdWords to buy targetted traffic which is something you might want to experiment with.

oops.. now I have to search for what is Google Adwords....

Does Adsense atleast generate some revenue in my account??? or that is also a false hope from Google???
