Seeking Tech help

[Tony Oday]

I cannot get on the internet at work unless its this site and any lending sites. I cannot get on vtunnel. is there other sites like that that?

I hate being stuck not looking at stuff at work and if anyone can help its you guys!

[MadtownPacker]

You can get to this one? Well then thats all you need! :mrgreen:

You can look into anonymous proxies. They're generally pretty slow, though.

Partial I am pretty dumb when it comes to the naked lady box. So where do I get those...and why do I get this site!? Im not complaining it keeps me sane at work!

[MadtownPacker]

OK TD, here is a trick but I have never tested it. I heard it will bypass proxies.

Go to START, then click RUN. When the box comes up type CALC. This will bring up then Windows Calculator.

Press the F1 key to open the Help window.

In the top left corner, click the "document with a question mark" icon.
Select "Jump to URL."

Type in the URL of the website you want to visit, and it comes up in the right pane of the Help window.

Important tip: you must type the full URL, with http:// not the shortened version that starts with www.

Let me know if this shit work and if it does dont any of you whiteys be telling your boss I showed you this shit.

[Tony Oday]

nope it didnt work :( but it seemed real cool.

Mad, you suck at windows. Green? Come on... Who uses the green theme? Classic for the win!!

Oday, I just did a brief google search of proxy and this is the first result. I don't know if it will help you, but read up on it and give it a whirl.

My guess is, though, if they block this site, they'd be smart enough to block that one.

what's the best way to drive traffic to your website? I'm trying to get my side business up on the ranks a bit. Although some are finding me, I don't know how....I sure the heck can't find myself!

GoDaddy has a tool called traffic blazer. Is anyone familiar with that or any other ideas how to move your site up in the search engine ranks without paying an arm & a leg?

Yes moving yourself up in the rankings can be pretty expensive AND confusing.

In my freelance web dev. stuff, I have used Traffic Blazer. It seems to work OK. The best way besides that though are by doing the following:
1.) Meta data when building your site in Dreamweaver, FrontPage, etc.
Come up with what search words you want people to find you with on Google, etc.

2.) Base a description sentence on those words (that would appear as <META name="description"> in the source coding). The more of the key search words in this sentence, the better. (keep the length to less than 25 words).

3) Use the text in your site to repeat as many words from your description sentence and your keywords as possible. Search engines live on words as their fuel - so it helps. Initially I made the mistake of using graphically based sites.

4.) Links into your site and outgoing links from your site: If you can get other higher quality sites to link to you great. Reciprocating linking back helps. Anything to bring more traffic to you, especially known higher traffic sites.

5.) Tips on what different search engines like are helpful. Here's another location to check: http://www.searchengines.com/searchEnginesRankings.html

There's obviously more involved with this, but a great place to go is searchenginewatch.com

Hope this helps!

thanks Dean! dumb question, do you meta tag every page on your site? I currently have the coding on the home page, but nothing else.

I built the site with Front Page.

No such thing as a dumb question...

You don't have to but it's easy to have it on every page by copy/pasting the raw code from the <head> section into each page.

I have had sites that have Google listing of sub-pages in my sites. Anyway to get traffic to your site is a bonus!
