Chazz dont understand me and i dont understand him yet we get the work done LOL Jun 19 14:14:00 the damn thing is, tht drwamweaver only wants to save templates for each single project, and not as general all round templates Jun 19 14:14:07 you got a trained one too Lassiter...heheh Jun 19 14:14:13 :) Jun 19 14:14:13 since we have limited time I'm going to try to throw as much out as I can,LOL Jun 19 14:14:16 i need to start makin templates and shit LOL Jun 19 14:14:32 sorry Frank....shoot Jun 19 14:14:36 ya thats whats fucked Hentaibee Jun 19 14:14:40 Frank we really are listening :) Jun 19 14:14:47 yep we are Jun 19 14:14:49 but i still luv DW altho i use homesite too :-) Jun 19 14:14:58 yeah DW is sooo smooth Jun 19 14:14:59 sorry Frank Jun 19 14:15:02 ---Crawdad is now known as Crawdad-phone Jun 19 14:15:05 so, so far, we have developed whatever site building technique works for us best, (what to build first_ Jun 19 14:15:08 combo of both LOL Jun 19 14:15:12 I prefer something like text pad for your templates... that way, no matter what happens with certain programs over time, those will always be accessible as well as modifyable Jun 19 14:15:36 and, as we build we develope templates Jun 19 14:15:49 I use notepad for everything, lol Jun 19 14:15:51 good pt Rowdy :-) Jun 19 14:16:01 notetab is cool too :-) Jun 19 14:16:21 lemme see...there was another cool software....... Jun 19 14:16:26 yep .. anything like that works well Jun 19 14:16:35 now... to fill in sites what do we need? Text, metas, sometimes java, etc...

Jun 19 14:17:06 lol WillyB Jun 19 14:17:09 this is where slowly accumulating things and saving them in a editor comes into play Jun 19 14:17:15 Lol Jun 19 14:17:29 yup sooo true Rowdy :-) Jun 19 14:17:36 takes time but its time well spent Jun 19 14:17:50 yup, cute and paste sure saves time Jun 19 14:17:59 yup yup :-) Jun 19 14:18:07 Hiya Willy :) Jun 19 14:18:08 let's take meta tags for instance... Jun 19 14:18:22 I remember NotesPad Jun 19 14:18:23 TextPad is great too...will handle multiple documents, and it color codes HTML tages so you can see what yer doing real easy.http://www.textpad.com/ Jun 19 14:18:25 that's the name Jun 19 14:18:30 -->kickshas joined #netsurprise Jun 19 14:18:32 ---HippyDude gives voice to kicks Jun 19 14:18:32 frank you have been writing too many teen text links when cut becomes cute LOL Jun 19 14:18:40 I have mine in a |Meta.txt file and swipe and copy it Jun 19 14:19:04 one can "premake" metas for individual niches etc... we all know what the common stuff is (naked, nude, pics, etc...) ... Jun 19 14:19:26 hi kicks Jun 19 14:19:34 hi Rowdy :) Jun 19 14:19:37 howdy kicks Jun 19 14:19:39 is focusing on one and only one keyword per page better or is putting the common stuff in it every time important? Jun 19 14:19:46 what and reuse the same metas over and over again? Jun 19 14:19:51 Kicks! :) Jun 19 14:19:56 hi all :) Jun 19 14:20:07 have the basic few and add to them as needed Jun 19 14:20:10 make up premade generic metas for various niches and save them to cut and paste. Then it just a matter of putting in a few more "specific" things pertaining to the site and what you want to focus on. Just a few seconds to do. Jun 19 14:20:17 important is that the common stuff is relevant to the page and it's links, and that you don't stuff the words too much Jun 19 14:20:53 e.g if it's a story site, you don't wanna focus on 'free sex pics' lol Jun 19 14:21:07 lol Hentaibee Jun 19 14:21:10 text links can bedone the same way. start saving various text links so you don't always have to set and rethink some. Jun 19 14:21:16 should you put the specific terms first or at the end of the generic terms? Jun 19 14:21:23 or does it matter? Jun 19 14:21:32 First, IMHO Jun 19 14:21:34 depends on the SE security_man Jun 19 14:21:40 I think some SEs don't care, put put thme first just in case... Jun 19 14:21:42 depends on your title and description Security-man Jun 19 14:21:49 I agree again Frank... even more important is to save the ones that are getting the clicks for ya! :) Jun 19 14:21:54 ah - gotcha Jun 19 14:21:56 Yeah. Jun 19 14:22:02 actually, I have gotten better AltaVista listing with NONE of what I am shooting for in the meta Jun 19 14:22:09 duplicating anything that generates traffic is a must Jun 19 14:22:31 As AltaVista say's. Metas are a bandage. If the site IS done properly you don't need metas Jun 19 14:22:33 yeah. AltaVista seems to focus on d url pathing and titles lately Jun 19 14:22:38 I don't even put 'generic' terms in my keywords & descriptions anymore. Only targetted, relevant terms. That way I lessen the likelihood of burning BW on surfers looking for what I ain't got. :) Jun 19 14:22:56 that is a point venturi Jun 19 14:22:58 that's a point venturi Jun 19 14:23:03 heheh Jun 19 14:23:08 everyone needs to do there metas to work for them.. Jun 19 14:23:32 just as long as they make it easier, so to do copy-paste and such Jun 19 14:23:32 well. with some smart scripting, you could take those sufrers to one page link HUB and offer the what they like Jun 19 14:23:33 this might sound a little obvious, but if you are saving like text links to copy and paste them later, be sure you delete the ones that are not productive for you Jun 19 14:23:38 so venturi are you only doing one keword per page or are you jsut doing them all from scratch? Jun 19 14:23:40 I also try to repeat those terms in my text, whether its ad text or just body filler. Jun 19 14:24:23 Security_man: I usually go to the overture search term db and search for big hitters for the niche I'm building. Then I incorporate 3 or 4 of those into my keywords & text. Jun 19 14:24:37 now... if you come across java scripts and such that you use, you do the same with them too. Personally I have specific files for everything. Java, metas, opportunities, resources, etc, etc... Jun 19 14:24:37 okie dokie :) Jun 19 14:24:55 It seems to be working, as my rankings on google & yahoo are steadily climbing Jun 19 14:25:01 yeah. Jun 19 14:25:38 but you have to use grammatically realistic phrasing if you don't wanna be laughed at by the dmoz editors. Jun 19 14:25:43 that's a point, it guess Jun 19 14:25:44 as was mentioned earlier to, we can do the same copy - paste techniques with link tables. Jun 19 14:25:48 -->tiahas joined #netsurprise Jun 19 14:25:50 ---HippyDude gives voice to tia Jun 19 14:25:53 hi tia Jun 19 14:25:53 Hiya tia Jun 19 14:25:56 you got that right Hentaibee Jun 19 14:25:57 hi tia Jun 19 14:25:57 Hi tia Jun 19 14:25:58 hi guys! Jun 19 14:25:59 hiya tia Jun 19 14:26:02 hello tia :) Jun 19 14:26:24 I can't believe I made a chat.. well halfway made it anyway.. lol Jun 19 14:26:27 hi tia Jun 19 14:26:30 Hi tia! Jun 19 14:26:32 lol tia Jun 19 14:26:34 is dmoz even relavant anymore? Jun 19 14:26:34 hi tia Jun 19 14:26:36 as you go about building and submitting you'll find what your favorite links are and such. Who wants what pages etc... Jun 19 14:26:39 hi Tia Jun 19 14:26:44 and not the spidercandy crap like 'john showed marsh his huge boobs and put a pair of big tits into the vcr" LMAO Jun 19 14:27:04 dmoz kicked a lot of editors. Jun 19 14:27:09 build premade tables with your link list in them (already linked) for quick copy and paste into your pages. Jun 19 14:27:13 but they're still kinda relevant. Jun 19 14:27:20 i gotta go all, something came up...sorry...cya'll later Jun 19 14:27:21 another way to save time/effort is to build SSI includes for targetted links back into your network of sites. Builds link popularity very fast. Jun 19 14:27:33 Have a good one CD! Jun 19 14:27:40 later Crawdad-phone Jun 19 14:27:48 Security_man: If ya do a google search, and hit their "directory" tab for the same keyphrases, it takes you to a DMOZ directory.So dmoz is definitely being used by folks, I'd wager. Jun 19 14:27:48 see ya around Crawdad Jun 19 14:27:48 <--Crawdad-phone has quit (QUIT: User exited) Jun 19 14:27:51 have a good one Crawdad Jun 19 14:27:53 I got a question.. all these "feeder" type free sites we make.. is it possible that se's will figure out a way to get rid of them.. there's a hell of a lot of them online right now Jun 19 14:27:55 This works the same with tgp's right? Jun 19 14:28:09 Tia-> not really. Jun 19 14:28:18 why do you say that Hentaibee? Jun 19 14:28:20 Se's will in the long run go for content rich sites Jun 19 14:28:28 sure Ladyj Jun 19 14:28:35 that's what I mean Hentaibee Jun 19 14:28:36 thx Jun 19 14:28:39 I don't see how tia myself. everything on the web is spidered and such. Jun 19 14:28:46 okay this is a little off topic but does anyone know about inktomi? Jun 19 14:28:49 so IF your feeder has some cool content for surfers to make it 'worthwile' Jun 19 14:28:53 it's ok. Jun 19 14:28:56 feeders are just another type of doorway tia, they lead back to the main site Jun 19 14:28:59 At least that from my POV Jun 19 14:28:59 but what I'm wondering is.. is it really a good investment to make them Jun 19 14:29:05 yea, what about it security_man Jun 19 14:29:30 when you pay for the listing does the spider do just that page or everything linked to it? Jun 19 14:29:33 I mean, you could use feeders as a direct upsell...... Jun 19 14:29:39 what I'm thinking is.. it may be a much better investment for the future to make more involved sites Jun 19 14:29:46 yes Jun 19 14:29:48 indeed Jun 19 14:29:50 good point Jun 19 14:29:58 i think u r right tia :-) Jun 19 14:30:03 involvement will get more important soon. Jun 19 14:30:03 tia, I don't think we can run our businesses wondering what the SE may do in the future. We need them now for sure Jun 19 14:30:10 does'Theoma' ring a bell? Jun 19 14:30:13 i hate building minor sites tho so i may just be thinkin weird hehe Jun 19 14:30:32 I build my feeders for a three way outlet Jun 19 14:30:42 1/2 my traffic to my 'main' sites comes from feeders easilly. :-) Jun 19 14:30:52 mine too venturi Jun 19 14:30:55 What would a "more involved" site be?Spiders don't usually go behind AVS walls or membership areas, so what would a more involved free site consist of? Jun 19 14:30:56 I build feeders straight to sponsors and with some networked feeder/doorway farms Jun 19 14:31:07 Security_man ... I would think it would spider all if done correctly Jun 19 14:31:09 just don't overdo it with the submits Jun 19 14:31:12 security_man, I have been meaning to ask them that myself. My view is just the page submitted. Jun 19 14:31:32 what about sites w/o any content? do u think those are worthless now? Jun 19 14:31:33 hmmm - any good way to find out (besides asking them? Jun 19 14:31:41 just let a spider dive deeper and deeper...and then send em to the next domain. lol Jun 19 14:31:44 LOL, I guess no one is sure. I'll ask them today. I wanna know for sure too. hehe Jun 19 14:31:48 *venturi doesn't pay inktomi for listings. They already spider my domains for free. LOL Jun 19 14:31:57 kewl - thanks frank :)) Jun 19 14:32:00 brb Jun 19 14:32:03 Lucky venturi ;) Jun 19 14:32:07 <--Go4LiveCash_Viv has quit (Connection reset by peer) Jun 19 14:32:07 <--Go4livecash_JP has quit (Connection reset by peer) Jun 19 14:32:18 I wonder whne inktomi's free submit will be reopened Jun 19 14:32:22 Sassy.. I stil have a few of those sites... results vary Jun 19 14:32:24 yea, actually except for the fact of getting spidered quicker. you don't have to submit. if you are linked elsewhere you'll get spidered.

Jun 19 14:34:52 plc: If the net is supposed to be free, we're all outta business here.Shhhhh!;) Jun 19 14:34:54 TOPIC: * Constructing Websites Efficiently * Jun 19 14:35:01 lol Boodrow.. no breaks for you! Jun 19 14:35:05 Boodrow.. just teasin ya bud :) Jun 19 14:35:08 Want to Party Down?!! Come to #mainstage, this server Thursday's at 9pm Eastern/6pm Pacific time! Jun 19 14:35:09 lol Lassiter Jun 19 14:35:17 yep that's true Frank,but there are plenty of other SE's to put stuff on without being penalized for having an Adult site Jun 19 14:35:22 :) I know Jun 19 14:35:36 just like link list. people get pissed if they don't get link.lol These are PRIVATE companies not public. So they don't have to link anyone if they don't want to. Jun 19 14:35:47 after all we don't ALL earn millions...some just a few bucks Jun 19 14:36:09 lol Jun 19 14:36:27 Sis this is GREAT!Love yafor this :) Jun 19 14:36:30 a few hundred bucks a month is better than nothing (^_^) Jun 19 14:36:46 oh, I understand your point plc, what's gonna happen when all the link list go to paid submits if that ever happend? Jun 19 14:36:48 sure Hentaibee itll at least pay for your hobbie hehe Jun 19 14:36:53 yup. Jun 19 14:36:54 you are welcome Ladyj, will have more for you later. Jun 19 14:36:56 absolutely Jun 19 14:36:58 hehehe Jun 19 14:37:05 cant beat that hehe Jun 19 14:37:05 I'll start a free one of my own Frank..LOL:) Jun 19 14:37:06 Frank: Yer scaring me here. Jun 19 14:37:19 & i know a lot of ppl who started this as a hobbie ... hell i did LOL Jun 19 14:37:36 This biz is just like everything in the real world. What happens when a Walmart comes into town. Some small business go away, etc... Just the way it is. Jun 19 14:37:46 yup Jun 19 14:37:50 If one already owns a tgp site,,should they also look into making a LL? Jun 19 14:37:56 Frank, I think LL's going pay4Listing will be the death of them. Hell, I doubt if even 1% of the LL's & TGP's out there actually turn a profit. Most are out there to increase their own Link Pop. and drive traffic to their own network of sites. Jun 19 14:38:00 heck yes LadyJ Jun 19 14:38:09 well. I'm here for some years now. and I don't plan on going away.hehehe Jun 19 14:38:14 okideas are hitting me:) Jun 19 14:38:16 I agree there venturi Jun 19 14:38:17 Hey, sorry, but sometimes biz is biz. It's competition. It takes money sometimes. Jun 19 14:38:28 hehehe Sis, i have templates for that too. roflmao Jun 19 14:38:50 I'm not against that...when i am making it, they are welcome to a share, until then...tuff!...hehehe Jun 19 14:38:51 but what u invest - if done right - will more than pay for itself Jun 19 14:38:59 you are too much!Playful,,that is my sis!! Jun 19 14:39:06 venturi, that's vaild, most LL's aren't ever gonna be much anyway. Yet, we need traffic Jun 19 14:39:49 Ladyj, you need to hit me up on icq later, need to find out what all you need and then i will send it to you. Jun 19 14:39:52 Well, many LLs already have similar setups to SEs...they don't charge for placement but U can make traffic trading deals to get better placement, etc.It's similar in a way, no? Jun 19 14:39:53 so, before we get into other stuff, LOL is there any question on the building sites more efficiently issue? Jun 19 14:39:55 yup Frank. I have a TGP, A Hybrid & Mishi is building a LL. They are there to increase our own traffic. Jun 19 14:39:59 ok I will :) Jun 19 14:40:13 lol, sorry. didn't mean to change the topic. *eek* Jun 19 14:40:23 Success can not be measured in dollar amounts... I know folks that make less than 10k a year and are happy as hell while others I know that make considerably more are miserable. If you are doing well wnough to please yourself and meet your requirements... you are a true success IMHO :) Jun 19 14:40:25 oh yeah thats the topic LOL Jun 19 14:40:42 that's OK venturi, this is to help webmasters. That was a valid topic Jun 19 14:40:52 I'll take 10k a year and whoop for joy Rowdy..:) Jun 19 14:40:54 that is sooo true Rowdy ... Jun 19 14:41:05 yup, what Rowdy said. Jun 19 14:41:07 Success: v. 1) The progressive realization of a worthwhile goal. Jun 19 14:41:09 you put that well, Rowdy Jun 19 14:41:19 lol venturi :-) Jun 19 14:41:21 Nope, it's about millions. Enjoying your job and taking pride in your work has nothing to do with it. :) Jun 19 14:41:28 you and me both plc LOL Jun 19 14:41:34 :) Jun 19 14:41:40 exactly Boodrow Jun 19 14:41:41 :p Jun 19 14:41:45 hehehee Jun 19 14:41:52 lol Jun 19 14:41:56 oh hiya kre - i didnt see ya inhere :)) Jun 19 14:41:58 OK...how does one strike a balance between having lots of stuff pre-made, and not just turning out cookie-cutter sites?Any ideas on making design and layout more efficient? Jun 19 14:42:13 just think for a minute...if we were all intent on making every moment pay for us...we'd miss all the fun here...LOL:) Jun 19 14:42:21 the fact is the web and how the biz works changes all the time. So we'll just have to roll with the punches so to speak, lol Jun 19 14:42:36 well.......perhaps using layers...nd combining with templates... Jun 19 14:42:47 hell ive seen so many changes its almost scarey Jun 19 14:42:50 whadya mean layers hen? Jun 19 14:42:50 I chop up my templates into the smallest pieces of code where they are still usable. That way plugging them in doesn't create the 'cookie cutter' look. Jun 19 14:42:51 Lassiter... just like rearanging your house... you can get drastic results in appearnace changes just by "moving" things around and changing/adding color schemes :) Jun 19 14:43:06 well, html layers Jun 19 14:43:16 to overlay stuff...... Jun 19 14:43:25 lassiter, if you accumulate say 30 types of templates. You could submit 1 different type of site everyday and no one would know Jun 19 14:43:36 plc.. here is knowledge though.. and that's the basis of true money income value Jun 19 14:43:39 Frank: any more suggestions for the days topic? LOL Jun 19 14:43:42 like what venturi was saying hen? Jun 19 14:43:52 dead right there Rowdy Jun 19 14:43:55 Rowdy> knowledge AND content. Jun 19 14:44:03 Rowdy: That's what I do now, and I guess it works well. ;) Jun 19 14:44:17 Frank: Good point.Only 28 to go. LOL Jun 19 14:44:31 I have learned more here in the last few weeks than i thought possible Jun 19 14:44:41 cool Jun 19 14:44:49 there is sooo much to learn in this bizz Jun 19 14:44:51 Sassy, basically each of us have our own ways of doing things that works for us. With that, try to take the time to to make things as simple as possible through cut and paste... Jun 19 14:45:04 start making various files that will assist you... Jun 19 14:45:16 plc: this is a knowledge wedgie! LOL Jun 19 14:45:19 actually Frank.. reverse order by alternating weeks with the thirty templates... you'd be amazed at how easy any routine stands out to a linklist owner that has been doing that job for years Jun 19 14:45:21 files or folders,Frank? Jun 19 14:45:21 lol Jun 19 14:45:22 then try finding where you put thm Frank...heheh Jun 19 14:45:27 then as you find new stuff to add, just open the file and add it. Jun 19 14:46:16 I have text files in various folders just like a file drawer Jun 19 14:46:43 FrankI have so many text files, they spill over onto CD's..:) Jun 19 14:46:48 like I mentioned, I have 1 for opportunities, java, sponsors, metas, you name it, lol Jun 19 14:46:56 <--ReverendSassy has quit (Connection reset by peer) Jun 19 14:46:57 plc has a point...having lots of pre-made files, templates, scripts, metas, etc won't help if you dont have a logical method of storing and retreiving them Jun 19 14:47:05 I"ve never had much luck with templating an entire gallery/site. Seems every time I build a new AVS site, both it and the feeders I build are different from the last one. So my templates are like tiny snippets of the end product. Jun 19 14:47:15 thats the hard part for me is staying organized :( Jun 19 14:47:43 seeya all, time to mow the farm Jun 19 14:47:46 maybe someone could build a rotor file for the desktop? Jun 19 14:47:51 There are a few of us like that Security_man Jun 19 14:48:00 lassiter, I dunno what's hard. I have it right in windows, 2 clicks I'm there. open whatever file I need and get what I need? Jun 19 14:48:02 lol, take care kicks Jun 19 14:48:05 <--kickshas left #netsurprise Jun 19 14:48:05 ah Sis, i'll get you organized lol Jun 19 14:48:15 thats an idea plc maybe someone should contact rolodex LOL Jun 19 14:48:24 *Lassiter was a totally disorganized pothead in his younger days Jun 19 14:48:30 heheh I'm not clever enough or I'd have a go Jun 19 14:48:34 no matter what I get myself into,,you come to my aide..:) thxsis Jun 19 14:48:37 Now I'm trying to be an organized pothead LOL Jun 19 14:48:42 hehehe Jun 19 14:48:42 -->Go4LiveCash_Vivhas joined #netsurprise Jun 19 14:48:44 ---HippyDude gives voice to Go4LiveCash_Viv Jun 19 14:48:45 welcome LadyJ Jun 19 14:48:48 hugs Viv Jun 19 14:48:52 good morning :) Jun 19 14:48:53 wb Viv Jun 19 14:49:06 wb Viv Jun 19 14:49:24 on the site issue to as Rowdy mentioned you'd be surprised how changing background colors and such can change a site. Even make small gifs to use for backgrounds and other images Jun 19 14:49:47 also Frank a different tile is good too Jun 19 14:49:52 yup Jun 19 14:50:11 All the sites should have different titles,right Jun 19 14:50:16 once you have a template, only minor things need to be done to make it look differently all together Jun 19 14:50:22 yes Jun 19 14:50:35 I like to make quick & dirty logos for site names too...makes an otherwise cookie-cutter site look like there's more thought in it. Jun 19 14:50:39 it helps Ladyj so you can get a variety of search hits Jun 19 14:50:46 me too lass Jun 19 14:50:57 there are lots with plain backgrounds, but not so many with tiled background, it makes it just a bit different Jun 19 14:51:14 yup, whatever works and makes your life quicker and easier. Jun 19 14:51:28 its kinda funny - some of our sites have the title graphic linked to a broken page - amazing how many clicks we are getting because of that LOL Jun 19 14:51:36 the LESS time taken n building a site the more time for other biz Jun 19 14:51:37 so we would need to find different bkgds and such as a time saver Jun 19 14:52:06 ladyj .. make them Jun 19 14:52:13 once you have them they are there forever Ladyj Jun 19 14:52:19 it would help Ladyj, changing background can change the entire look of a site while keeping the smae template. Jun 19 14:52:26 I am not good at graphics,althouI own several programs :( Jun 19 14:52:27 exactly Frank. There is a fine line between originality & overkill when building galleries. Have to weigh the merit of the design against the time it takes you to build it. :) Jun 19 14:52:28 hehehe Ladyj, i have those too Jun 19 14:52:34 -->ReverendSassyhas joined #netsurprise Jun 19 14:52:35 ---HippyDude gives voice to ReverendSassy Jun 19 14:52:37 they're easy and barry hilton would be glad to do a workshop to show folks how easy it is... might already be one...
