    Increasing Traffic to a Common Topic Website

    The only way I can word the question really is, how do you increase your traffic to your website (and keep the traffic) to a website if it's a common topic? For example I'm a gamer, and I've brought up the topic before of me building a large-scale video game site. It almost seems that as soon as...

    Possible Large Project by New New Designer

    Basically the way I've been thinking over the past while was to develop a game based site, comparable to Gamespot or IGN, but not have so many ads or garbage flowing around. There's numerous things I want to have beside this site, such as a Wiki, blog, and forum as well, but I know it's a very...

    What is so Big About Linux??

    I see so many people on here and in the "outside world" saying that Linux is "OMG AWESOME!!" but really - it's just an open source OS (as far as I know). Like really - most Windows programs don't work on Linux (again as far as I know), so what's the big deal, and if Iwere to try one of them...

    Getting a Domain In Development

    I know that the title doesn't make any sense when you first look at it, but the best example I'll use today is this: PRETENDING Google.com is brand new and not this bajillion dollar website thing we know today. I'm interested in owning Google.com as a domain. Google.com currently on their site...

    Hiring a Broker to Get a Domain

    How does this actually work? There's a few domains that I'm interested in, but the sites that I want are currently purchased, but there's no content on the sites other than, "Someone has purchased <domain>" but I could hire a broker to get it....I don't fully understand that - or how it works...

    Places to Buy Domains

    I know there's tons of sites to buy domains from, but does it really matter where you buy your domain from - whether it be the simple, "domain.com" or somewhere else?

    How Would You Know If a Domain is a "Good" Domain?

    Website Constantly Down

    A friend of mine works with a company down in PA, and the entire website goes down seemingly every couple of days. I've spoken to him (my friend) and asked him why this happens/happened and he just said it's the host - but either wouldn't the host try and fix it so it doesn't happen frequently...
