Alternatives to Google Sites for a personal web site?

I'd like to find a hosting solution for my personal, fairly low-traffic, web site. I think Google Sites would suit me perfectly, but I've heard horror stories about Google's algorithms shutting down all your accounts on a whim, with no right of appeal, so I'm naturally worried, because I don't want to lose my Gmail. **Edit** _I'm talking about cases likethis one:_ > I tried contacting somebody at Google support ("Surely they should have a > support department, right?" Nope, wrong!) _(The victim managed to regain access to his Gmail account when his case went "viral", but he never got an explanation as to why he had been locked out in the first place)_ Are there good, preferably free, alternatives to Google Sites and what are their PROs and CONs? One requirement is that I should be able to point the DNS ( _foobar.com_ ) to it.

Pay for Graphic Designer vs Programmer

In a corporate web-design setup, who typically makes more per hour, the graphic designer or the programmer? By graphic designer, I mean somebody who builds mockups probably in photoshop, selects font-styles, colors, etc. Most things layout-wise are near pixel- perfect, but likely after the initial implementation by the programmer, there will be a lot of small changes directed by the graphic designer. By programmer, I mean somebody who is coding the CSS, the HTML, and light backend support, probably in PHP. The programmer will attempt to duplicate the mockups given the limitations of the medium, and consult with the graphic designer afterwards on what changes are tangible and which are not. Both probably have an undergraduate degree from a respected four-year institution.


What's better for SEO for many international markets?

Right now, we're working to migrate our company sites for international markets to this scheme               www.company.com/[2 letter country codes]     www.company.com/uk    #for United Kingdom     www.company.com/au    #for Australia     www.company.com/jp    #for Japan     www.comapny.com/      #for united states, and non identifiable.      However, in google webmaster tools, we can geo-target each directory, but not the root. If we geo-target the root with US, all the other markets will inherit. Is it better to move the US market to /us/ or leave it where it is?


Multiple URL's going to same page - Kosher for Google?

I hear conflicting answers from people about this, and I'm a developer by trade, and my SEO knowledge is not what it should be. Here's my situation: I run a website that lists hotels, restaurants, bars, shops, etc for a small Asian beach town. Lots of establishments here are hotels with a restaurant and bar, as well as restaurants that are also bars. As en example, a Mexican restaurant that also functions as a full cocktail bar. I first set it up so each establishment has one page, but can create multiple pages based on their other areas of business. This forces people to create TWO listings under the same name, and most just add the exact same information onto each page, making things redundant. I am re-arranging the database so that a establishment has only ONE listing (one unique page referenced by the unique code '12345ABCDEF') that is accessible from browsing under "Restaurants" and "Bars", and has the URL structures:               site.com/dining/mexican/12345ABCDEF/business-name.html     site.com/bars/cocktail_bars/12345ABCDEF/business-name.html      I could easily simplify the URL to just the unique code and name:               site.com/12345ABCDEF/business-name.html      But, I found that Google has parsed by URL structure and lists like this on their SERP:               Home > Dining > Mexican      With each pointing to the default page for homepage, restaurants and Mexican restaurants. If I simplify the URL structure, will I lose these associations? Could Google also be picking up this structure from my breadcrumb trail at the top of the page? What is the best way to set up URL's on these pages so I am not penalized by Google for having identical information on two URL's, while still being able to have places show up as they did with the old system?


just another mod_rewrite question

Does "putting Javascript at the bottom" defeat the purpose of document.ready?

I know that it is recommended to put Javascript at the bottom of the page, but if I'm using jQuery doesn't this defeat its purpose to run as the DOM is loading? If I have a dropdown menu, for example, the dropdowns won't show until all the rest of the page has loaded. I also try to develop with progressive enhancement in mind, so I might have elements that are hidden with jQuery instead of CSS (so non-JS users can see them). Is there a happy medium, perhaps?


Clear GET or POST data from CGI script?

I'm making a toy LAN messaging system that involves Ruby CGI scripts and data files stored on the server, and I want to prevent the same data from being sent to the server multiple times. Is there any way that you know of to request that the client of your web server forget the GET or POST data that it sent in its request?


Blogger and Google App hosting at naked domain using 1&1

My web hosting is through 1&1.com. I'm trying to set up both blogger and Google Apps mail at the naked domain. I was able to get blogger set up on the `www.` version of the site by simply creating a CNAME record which points to `ghs.google.com`. The naked domain is also pointing to `ghs.google.com`, creating a symmetric configuration. Blogger has the domain defined with `www.`, and the checkbox which chooses if to redirect naked domain to `www.` is checked. Now when I try to set up the MX records for Google apps at 1&1, it doesn't let me. When you go in to the DNS settings, you can choose between DNS or CNAME. When you choose DNS, it allows you to set a single A record, and the MX records. However, if you choose to use a CNAME (like I did), it will not allow you to set any MX records. I'll try my best to describe the options available on 1&1 using a tree:   * General settings =      * {CNAME}        * Alias = [server]     * {DNS}        * Name server =          * {My name server}            * Primary Name Server = [server]           * Secondary Name Server =              * {My Secondary Name Server}                * 1st secondary name server = [server]               * 2nd secondary name server = [server]               * 3rd secondary name server = [server]             * {1&1 Name Server}         * {1&1 name server}            * IP address (A record) =              * {1&1 IP Address}             * {Other IP address}                * [ip-address]           * Mail server (MX record) =              * {1&1 mail server}             * {Other mail server}                * MX 1 / Prio = [mx-record]               * MX 2 / Prio = [mx-record]               * Further backups =                  * {My Mail Exchanger}                    * MX 3 / Prio = [mx-record]                   * MX 4 / Prio = [mx-record]                 * {Backup mail exchanger} For example, in `General settings` you can choose either `CNAME` or `DNS`. If you choose `CNAME` you will see the `Alias` field. The `Alias` field takes a `[server]` value (e.g. `example.com`). Another example, if you choose `Name server` = `1&1 name server`, you will see all the options listed underneath it (`IP address (A record)` and `Mail server (MX record)`), but not the options underneath `My name server`. Legend:   * `[server]`: requires a server [is it more accurate to call this domain?] (e.g. `example.com`).   * `[ip-address]`: requires a set of 4 numbers (i.e. a valid ip). So, a domain such as `example.com` will not work.   * `[mx-record]`: takes in a `[server]` and an integer priority. You will notice that when `General settings` = `CNAME`, it doesn't have any MX record fields available. Is this a shortcoming of 1&1, or can you never have a CNAME record with MX records defined? Is there any way to do what I'm trying to do? Requirements:   * Blogger blog hosted at `www.` or naked domain (I have no preference).   * The other domain will redirect to the other one (e.g. `www.` will redirect to naked domain, or vice versa).   * Mail uses Google Apps at naked domain (e.g. `user@example.com`).   * It should be reliable and SEO friendly. I know I can set up a single A record to point to one of Google's IP addresses (instead of `ghs.google.com`), but then I don't get the 4 server redundancy, meaning if a single server goes down, my site also goes down.

"Cannot modify header information" error in my PHP/WordPress site

I edited the `header.php` and `functions.php` files in my WordPress site to add Google Analytics tracking code.

what's better for SEO : a 301 moved page vs an alias?

I recently optimized my site changing the keywords but also the path to those pages (I'm using human readable urls) So google will not find those pages anymore... what's the best aproach in this case: making an alias keeping the old urls as well showing the new content or redirecting with 301?


Cookie data transfer

The context is a third-party analytics service, specifically Quantcast, but the inquiries are more general in nature. Please forgive and correct me if any of my assumptions are off, and thank you in advance for your help.   1. I understand that cookies are based on a 'give and get' system where the first request sets the cookie on the user machine and the second request from the user sends the cookie-related data back to the machine. What might the implications be then for single page view sessions? For instance, can the server confirm receipt without a second request and would it be able to know if the machine was unique (e.g. relay information about presence of a previously-issued cookie)?   2. Scenario: Assuming pages A,B, and C are all on the same domain, a cookie is set when a user visits page A. The user follows a link to page B but while the page is loading and before the get request is sent to the server, the user clicks on a link to page C. He allows page C to load completely and the get request is received. In that request/response for page C, does the server also receive information that the user had visited page B?  Thanks, Abel


Does changing CNAME for amazon cloudfront slows the download in anyway?

I'm planning to use Amazon S3 with Cloudfront as CDN network. But I'm guessing that changing the url from `345345df4.cloudfront.com` to `sub.domain.com` will slow the process of download Is this correct?


E-commerce for custom orders/customer image upload

We have a client that needs an e-commerce site set up pretty quickly. As I have no experience with e-commerce, I am looking for some guidance. Basically, the two big features we need are:   1. Ability for customer to add info about order (example: the name the customer wants to be put on the customizable product they ordered)   2. Ability for customer to upload photo of product to be customized I hope this makes sense. Right now I am really looking into Shopify, but I can't tell if it does everything we need. I know you can add order notes when checking out, but not sure about image upload (maybe it can be added as an app through the API?).


Need an embeddable live polling tool

We need a live polling tool that can be embedded on a Web page. The key factor is that the polls can be published on demand by a moderator (i.e. the moderator clicks "Publish" or "Go" and the poll is delivered to the end user on the Web page). Once people answer the poll, the results should be shown in the same window. Then, the moderator can keep publishing more polls in the window. This should be embeddable within an existing webpage. We started using http://www.coveritlive.com/ but it has restrictions which make it unusable for us (eg: it allows only 6 options per poll question)


Allow all robots robots.txt

In my _robots.txt_ file I have a list of robots that are not allowed to be indexed on my site and for the rest I have to allow all other robots, but I would like to know the real difference between these two rules:               User-agent: *     Disallow:      and this:               User-agent: *     Allow: /

How come a keyword with 46 local monthly searches get 150 local monthly impressions?

I am doing a keyword analysis by correlating data between Google ANalytics and Google Adwords Keyword tool. So here is the confusion I check the local monthly searches (Sweden) for "SEO Packages" using the adwords keyword tool and it shows: 46 monthly searches Now I come back to GA and check the impressions for "SEO Packages" that we got from Sweden and the value is: 150 impressions. So basically: Local monthly searches in Sweden: 46 Monthly impression we got from Sweden: 150 How come we get 150 impressions out of only 150 searches?


Using Google Analytics to determine how much time a visitor spends in each section of my site

I have a site with various pages, like:               /about/history     /about/team     /contact/email-us     /contact      I want to figure out how much time people are spending on the entire `/about` section, and how much on the `/contact` section. If I run a query on the Google Analytics API and set the dimension to `ga:pagePathLevel1` and the metric to `ga:avgTimeOnPage`, I get results like this:               { pagePathLevel1: /about, avgTimeOnPage: 28 },     { pagePathLevel1: /contact, avgTimeOnPage: 10 }      This looks roughly like what I want, but I'm not sure how to intepret it:   * Is the value of `avgTimeOnPage` the average time spent by any user on **all** pages that match that path?    * Or is it the average time spent by any user on `any` single page that matches that path? I'm looking for the average time spent across **all** pages matching that path, but the time estimates look shorter than I'd expect.


Returning 404 for expired jobs in my jobs site

In my new Job search site how should I handle jobs which are expired? Ideally those should return 410 response when deleted. But I'd like to delete them(404 response) since that'd be easy to do for my Drupal site. Will it cause any problems? I'm placing some links to similar discussions: link1 link2 link3 link4


In Joomla In htaccess REQUEST_URI is always returning index.php instead of SEF URL

I have installed joomsef version 3.9.9 with the Joomla 1.5.25. Now I want to set https for some of the section of my site(e.g URI starts with /events/) while wanting rest of all urls on http.I am setting rules in .htaccess file but not getting output as expected.

"Pay with a link" - ethical for SEO?

There are a number of "Pay with tweet" type services where you get access to a download (pdf/ebook etc) if you tweet or Facebook like. Are there any services that do similar for 'normal' links (Blogs etc)? If you had an online service that you were planning to give away free if people linked to you for then would this be ( from an SEO perspective) :-   * ethical?   * effective?


pages still show up in google search even after disallowed in robots.txt

Why is it that some pages still show up in google search even though disallowed in robots.txt? Is the best solution here to remove the Disallow from Robots.txt and just add noindex, nofollow meta tag to those pages you want blocked? Or should I submit a request to Google directly to remove those pages?

URL requests with [object] in place of parameter values

We're seeing requests to our server with the literal `[object]` replacing the values where parameters should be. For example: `http://example.com/users/[object]`. I've found some suggestions that it might be something to do with IE9 but we can't quite nail it down. See this. Has anyone else seen this behaviour? Have you managed to nail down what the problem is?

How to determine if Google's Crawl Rate for your site is eating up too much Bandwidth?

I was reading about changing Google's crawl rate and how there is a balance in which if the crawl rate is too fast, it will slow your site down; but if the crawl rate is too slow, then page descriptions in search results might not get updated fast enough. This is clearly a balancing act; while I understand that one can determine that the site is not being crawled fast enough by looking at the cached page version of a search result, I don't understand how to measure that a site is being too heavily crawled and slowed down. I have a few different types of CMS and hosting, and I was wondering if there was a generalized way to figure this out on all of them...maybe using server logs or web page performance test of some sort.


What is the difference between doing a "link:http://www.example.com" google search and the "links to your site" in Webmaster Tools?

I've tried to do two kinds of searches which I had previously thought were a source of the same data, but are apparently different. The first is doing a google search that looks like `link:http://mydomain.com` which I assumed returned all of the links indexed by Google Crawler which linked to my page: ![Google external link search](http://i.stack.imgur.com/8d44M.png) The second is within Webmaster Tools in the `Links to Your Site` functionality: ![Webmaster Tools External Links](http://i.stack.imgur.com/GlZpZ.png) The reason I'm confused by this is that it appears that there don't seem to be as many in-bound links appearing in the `link:` google search as there are appearing in the `Links on Your Site` functionality in Webmaster Tools, so it seems to me that these two functions are not referring to the same data as I previously assumed. If this is not the case, then what are each of these referring to?


Google analytics stopped showing trackbacks after tracking code change

We have a pretty heavily linked-to website. GA showed some trackback in Acquisition > Social > Trackbacks every day until a few days ago, then all the sudden nothing.

How do I see the exact position of my website in google SERP?

Whenever I search with keyword in my computer, it shows my website in first page and in reality(other computers) it is not showing what I see in my computer, I understand that this is because of I visited the website so many times, but I want to see only the reality position, what should I do to see the reality ? and Is there any option for webmasters to avoid this ?


Submit example.com/#!/page URLs to Google

On a HTML5 website, there is a single page, index.php . Its code contains other 5 pages. An AJAX navigation is used, so the URL of other page looks like `example.com/#!/page_Example`. I had tried to submit to Google many addresses of this kind using a XML sitemap, but Google indexes only the main page. Also, I've made some 301 redirects from `example.com/Example` to `example.com/#!/page_Example`, and submitted them, but the main page is still the only one indexed. How could I sumbit those URLs to Google?

How can I prevent invalid clicks on my AdWords campaigns?

I was wondering if there is anyway you can block or exclude people from submitting multiple fake ip's online . For example I have a google pay-per- click campaign set up on adwords. I downloaded a program in minutes which enabled me to hide or give out a fake ip address which also allows you to use a different ip each time. I tried this out on my own link on google which in turn got through adwords and I was charged for the click. My question is how would you be able to counter or block someone who continuosly clicks on your link with a different fake ip each time?

SEO Expert Question

I have worked with a website in the past `freedomist.com` This site gathers wordpress articles from multiple news source sites, and then republishes them. The company that runs this site has about 50 other sites that do the same thing. They post links to sites such as twitter and secondary wordpress sites. Is this a moral way of increasing page ranking? Is this against the terms of service with lets say Google?


What is the simplest API to create maps like in Google Analytics?

2 hosted domains = 2 websites?

I have a website hosted by a company and would like to add another, separate, website to the same account. The company offers `2 hosted domains`, so does that mean this will be possible? I'm not sure what's meant by `2 hosted domains`. Does that mean I can have two websites or just two different domain names pointing at the one website? Thanks for any help.


Browser privacy improvement implications for websites

On https://panopticlick.eff.org/ EFF let you test the number of uniquely identifying bits that the browser gives a website. Among these are HTTP header fields such as User-Agent, Accept, Accept-Language and later perhaps ETAG and If-Modified-Since. Also there is a lot of Information that javascript can get from the browser such as time-zone, screen resolution, complete list of fonts and plugins available. My first impression is, is all this information really used/required on a majority of all websites? For example, how many sites does really send different content-types depending on the http accept header, or what fonts are available(I thought css had taken care of this)? Let's say of these headers/js functionality on day would be gone.   Which ones would;   * never be noticed they were gone?   * impact user experience?   * impact server performance?   * immediately reimplemented because the Internet cannot work without it? Extra credit for differentiating between what can be done, what should be done and what is done in most situations.


Google Analytics and multiple sites with combined stats

I have about 40 sites (similar structure just different verticals/content). Example: site1.com site2.com **Is it possible to see the stats of all sites within one property?** I was thinking of doing this in Google Analytics:   * Create a new analytics account   * Create a new property   * Create a profile for every site within the single property The default property Google creates is named "All Web Site Data". Does this mean that I can see combined statistics for all sites under this single property. Going on the other properties I would see the stats for the individual site. What I described above... is there a special analytics tracking code I need to put on my sites? There was a similar question asked but the link in the answer is now dead.


Which web design site discussed embedding single characters like & using base64?

I'm looking for a well known article site on site design which made an article about embedding just a single character (in this case, '&') from a font to save load times. I believe the site used fixed width, pale colours. Thanks


Is there an elegant way to track multiple domains under separate accounts with Google Analytics?

I have a situation where a content management system uses the same template for multiple websites with different domain names and I can't make a separate template for each. However, each website needs to be tracked with Google Analytics. Would this be appropriate to track each domain like this by putting in some conditional code? And would this be robust enough not to break? Is there a more elegant way to do this?               <script type="text/javascript">       var _gaq = _gaq || [];       switch (location.hostname){         case 'www.aaa.com':             _gaq.push(['_setAccount', 'UA-xxxxxxx-1']);             break;         case 'www.bbb.com':             _gaq.push(['_setAccount', 'UA-xxxxxxx-2']);             break;         case 'www.ccc.com':             _gaq.push(['_setAccount', 'UA-xxxxxxx-3']);             break;       }            _gaq.push(['_trackPageview']);            (function() {         var ga = document.createElement('script'); ga.type = 'text/javascript'; ga.async = true;         ga.src = ('https:' == document.location.protocol ? 'https://ssl' : 'http://www') + '.google-analytics.com/ga.js';         (document.getElementsByTagName('head')[0] || document.getElementsByTagName('body')[0]).appendChild(ga);       })();          </script>      Just to be clear, each website is a separate domain name and must be tracked separately, NOT different domains with same pages on one analytics profile.


Can you transfer domains for free, without renewing/extending it?

Same product name in different categories

I have two questions about URL structure for SEO.   1. I have one product belongs to multiple categories. Is this OK for SEO OR shall I give them different product names?     1. example.com/shirts/denim/poloshirt.html     2. example.com/shirts/pinkcolor/poloshirt.html   2. Is it good or to put numeric product code in the URL as this:     1. example.com/shirts/denim/shirt-st397.html     2. example.com/shirts/denim/shirt-sw160.html Google regard it as one product or different products?


Best way to slice up a non rectangular image?

I have the image below and need to create a rollover for each "piece" or arrow in the circle. Because the image isn't rectangular, it boggles how me how I'm going to do this without having badly overlapping pieces. As you can see from the image below, the slices will overlap each other (quite a bit), which will not be good for the rollover. Does anybody have any ideas as to how to accomplish this without resorting to Flash or HTML5? The majority of our site's users use dinosaur browsers that don't support HTML5. Here is the image: ![Wheela](http://img812.imageshack.us/img812/3166/wheela.png)


How to tell search engines about new image URL's?

I have just moved my website from a hosted provider to Windows Azure. The page URL's are all the same, but the location of the files is now different. How can I tell search engines about the new locations of the images? My site is very visual, so ranking of images is important.


SEO with an iframe and a secondary domain

Just a question, a client of the company I work for was They run the SEO page on a new domain (they own it for the client) http://kunstplanten-decoratie.nl/kunst_vetplanten/ while the original page is located at: http://www.deco-trade.nl/index.php/kunstplanten/alle-planten.html Below is the code they are using, they use an iframe to include the real domain. Is this even allowed by SEO tactics and does the content of the iframe even get indexed?               <!doctype html>               <title>Kunst vetplanten | Deco Trade</title>     <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8">     <meta name="description" content="De kunst vetplanten van Deco Trade zijn een mooi decoratiemiddel voor zowel thuis als op kantoor">     <meta name="keywords" content="Kunst vetplanten, KUNSTPLANTEN">     <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="../css.php">

Google Webmasters Tools strange 404 errors referred from same site

Starting about a month ago, I noticed a sudden increase in 404 errors in Webmasters Tools for one of my sites (over 1400 errors so far). All the errors are being referred from my own site to non existent pages. The 404 error URLs are all of the same format: URL: http://www.helloneighbour.com/save/1347208508000 The number on the end appears to be a timestamp followed by 3 zeros. The referring page, in this case is : Linked from http://www.helloneighbour.com/save/cmw-insurance-insurance-burnaby When I look at the source code of that page, or I use Webmaster tools to view the page as Google sees it, I can't find any link that comes close to what is above. I built the site, and I can't find any place that might be causing these false links either. The server logs (access and error) don't show Google or anyone else trying to access these links. I've marked all these pages as fixed, and waited a couple of weeks, only to find the errors come back again over the last few days. I'm wondering if anyone else has seen anything strange like this, or if someone might have a way for me to debug, replicate this error myself.


Why the difference in Google search result using script for search and using a browser for search?

I wrote a script to find the position in Google search result for a search keyword. I also did the same with the browser. The two results are different. Let me explain in detail here. I have a website and I wanted to know on which page number my domain appears for a search string. Like when I search for 'code snippets' I wanted to find in Google search on which page number a certain domain appears. I wrote a PHP script to search page by page starting from page 1 to page n. Then I did the same task using a browser. The script returned page 4 and when browsed I can see the domain appearing on the second page. Here is the search string I used in my code. > /search?hl=en&output=search&sclient=psy-ab&q=code+snippets&start=0&btnG= For each request I change the `start=0` to `start=1`, `start=2`, etc., and in the response I will check whether my domain appears in it. Any idea why this is different in search results?


Google on capital letters in url

I created one of my websites with the following url structure:               http://domain.com/Animal/Pig     http://domain.com/Pigs      If I change the url map to lower case letters instead, will google reindex those pages?               http://domain.com/animal/pig     http://domain.com/pigs


Redirecting www.foo.example.com to foo.example.com

I have a Cpanel web hosting account and have created a subdomain which redirects to an IP address of a different server (Windows IIS) by creating an A record. I don't have control of the Windows server. I would like that those people who type `www.` before the subdomain get redirected to the same page. I tried creating a CNAME record pointing www.foo.example.com. to foo.example.com but it isn't working. It is actually stopping the A record from working. How do I redirect www.foo.example.com. to foo.example.com in Cpanel?


Duplicate title tags in Google Webmaster Tools

Under _Google Webmaster Tools > HTML Improvements > Duplicate title tags_ I can see 800 duplicates listed.

Make not found error pages in Drupal send 404 status

I have a website which built with Drupal and the page not found redirects the users to: Page not found `http://www.sitename.com/node/126` When I check the error code for this page, it has a "success 200 OK". Now what changes should I do to yield a 404 error so the users who clicked on this broken link and landed on this page will get a 404 error, and at same time Google will know it's a 404 error and prevent the link from being indexed?

Students publishing their websites to Amazon S3

I want students to publish their static websites to Amazon S3. But I can't have them all create AWS accounts because it requires their credit cards even for the free usage tier. I don't mind letting them use an account I setup (I'm happy to pay amazon's fees for usage too), but I need to give students their own directory and credentials to upload files. Is this possible with Amazon S3?

Is there any reason to allow Yahoo! Slurp to crawl my site?

I thought a year or more ago Yahoo! would be using another search engine for results, and no longer using their own Slurp bot. However, a couple of the sites I manage Yahoo! Slurp continues to crawl pages, and seems to ignore the Gone status code when returned (as it keeps coming back). Is there any reason why I wouldn't want to block Yahoo! Slurp via robots.txt or by IP (since it tends to ignore robots.txt in some cases anyways)? I've confirmed that when the bot does hit it is from Yahoo! IPs, so I believe this is a legit instance of the bot. Is Yahoo Search the same as Bing Search now? is a related question, but I don't think it completely answers whether one should add a _new_ block of the bot.


Is mixing 'Adsense' banners and content okay on a Pinterest style layout?

I was under the impression that Google likes to have their adverts clearly separated out from content so that people don't accidentally click on the adverts thinking they are articles. For a 'pinterest' style layout where you only see the one page and a few pop ups over that one page, you could mix in the adverts with the content, as demonstrated with the two adverts slap in the middle on this site: ![enter image description here](http://i.stack.imgur.com/QWUZs.jpg) Clearly this can be done and it exists in the wild, with Google adverts being supplied to the site. However, is that against the spirit and/or the letter of what one signs up to with Adsense?


What are "rows" in a responsive grid system?

I'm looking at various grid systems to make a responsive design, but I keep coming across the same thing that puzzles me : What's a _row_ in a design where everything can move based on the screen size ?

Subdomain takes the position of main site in Google search result

We have one domain and one sub-domain. Until last week both of them appear in first page of Google search for very important keyword. Unfortunately Google dropped our main domain from search results. our main site has been in first page for 5 years! About one year ago we build this sub-domain. It simply has been redirected to one of pages of main domain. For solving problem we upload a independent site for sub-domain because we guessed that Google think this is our main page of our site. But problem did not solved. What should we do? our main site offer main services and we we want that will be on first page. Shout down sub-domain? Redirect to main site? Put the link of our main site in sub-domain? (About one year ago we put link of this sub-domain to our main site. Google indexed it and continuously bring that to top.) changing in _robots.txt_ ....

Three-Column Gallery Layout

I've been trying to do the following 2 things, but have been unsuccessful. I know they're really simple, but I just can't seem to get them to work. Here's the website I started coding today. 1) I'm trying to make a 3-column gallery layout. It sounds so simple, but I have been unsuccessful so far. Not sure how to achieve this. I Google'd and came across various articles, but none of them were aligning properly. See the link provided. I want to have three 320px wide thumbnails. I tried creating lists, and floating divs. I could use a table, but aren't divs better now? Suggestions? 2) I'm trying to make it so each button in the menu has a different colour in hover and selected state. The other two are different pages, but I'm not sure how to change them and keep the same effect. I found the script here. I am new to this so any help is appreciated :)


How to track a site-search with lots of options?

Our website has two search forms. One of them includes no text input, but a lot of checkboxes, dropdown boxes and radio buttons for narrowing down our product catalogue.

I've heard something that a page shouldn't have more than 150 links on it.

For example in _boostrap.css_ :               /*!      * Bootstrap v3.0.3      *      * Copyright 2013 Twitter, Inc      * Licensed under the Apache License v2.0      * http://www.apache.org/licenses/LICENSE-2.0      *      * Designed and built with all the love in the world @twitter by @mdo and @fat.      */          /*! normalize.css v2.1.3 | MIT License | git.io/normalize */      Can we remove this text? In order to reduce HTTP requests, we want to make one CSS file so that Bootstrap will be combined with a customize CSS style. My question is: can we remove this text, and if we do, would we be violating any laws? What should we do and don't do?


Should a canonical URL be search engine friendly?

I'm using Drupal with search engine friendly URLs. The way Drupal works is that there's two ways to reference a node with SEF URLS switched on:   1. The SEF way, eg. `http://example.com/blog/the-answer-to-life`   2. Via the node ID, eg. `http://example.com/node/42` (The second form issues a 301 to the first.) The first path can be changed quickly and easily, the second is fixed (for the lifetime of the site or node). I'm not suggesting it's a good idea for websites to change their paths on a regular basis, but it's something that might happen, so it occurred to me that I could use the second form as a canonical URL, and that would mean that the same page would be always correctly indexed, and would always retain its Page Rank etc. Could folk help list the pros and cons of such an approach?


How do I add multiple providers DNS to my domain for website replication and access?

Hello I have a website that I would like to keep online no matter what for that purpose I don't mind buying multiple webhosting packages. Its a small website in terms of size but not in terms of client access and employee email accounts. I would like to achieve the following: 1) Add the DNS records of these multiple providers to one domain name, so if the on providers servers go down it can automatically use the next appropriate server. 2) Emails can be replicated across all three servers, I don't mind purchasing webhosting accounts with the same contol panel if I have to achieve the same.


Curl not working with PHP 5.4.6

I'm trying to use Curl to send and receive XML information from my credit card company and it works great in a shared server (sandbox). However, now that I uploaded it to my dedicated server it does not work. Below is the Curl information from my _phpinfo_ file:               cURL support    enabled     cURL Information    7.19.7     Age  3     Features     AsynchDNS   No       Debug   No     GSS-Negotiate   Yes     IDN         Yes     IPv6    Yes     Largefile   Yes     NTLM    Yes     SPNEGO  No     SSL     Yes     SSPI    No     krb4    No     libz    Yes     CharConv    No     Protocols   tftp, ftp, telnet, dict, ldap, ldaps, http, file, https, ftps     Host    i486-pc-linux-gnu     SSL Version GnuTLS/2.8.5     ZLib Version    1.2.3.3      I'm using lighttpd, do I need to add something in its config file?


Should or can I set the rel="publisher" link on all my webpages?

One can establish a link from a website to a Google+ page by adding a `rel="publisher"` link in the head of the `index.html` document (for example). But, should or can this link be set on all pages of the website? Or is it redundant?


Is there an alternative to LiveStream?

I´m looking for an alternative to LiveStream, I mean, a free live streaming solution for video broadcasting and then embedding the player in my website.   * Bandwidth limitations is OK.    * Concurrent users limitation is OK.    * 24/7 transmission capabilities. [ **Note** : no 'stream' or 'streaming' tag available, please re-tag]


Where must a PTR record point to in order to avoid being classified as a spammer?

We have a dedicated server for our website, and we also use it to send out bulk emails (ALWAYS by request, NEVER unsolicited or for spam). We are trying to set up a `PTR` record and there's one thing I simply can't understand: If I send out email from _someone@example.com_ , and example.com's `A` record is `x.x.x.x`, then in order for my IP not to be considered a spammer, the `PTR` record for `x.x.x.x` must point to:   1. example.com?   2. any of example.com's MX records?   3. the name of the domain as it appears in the SMTP banner you receive when connecting to example.com:25?   4. all/none/any of the above?


robots.txt - just a guess about wild-card

so if I disallow tempPage, does it mean tempPage_1, temp_Page_2, tempPage_x are also disallowed? I tried to google this up, but I don't know...


Relative URLs confuse Google crawler

I'm having some odd problems that are apparently being generated by Google crawler. Bing isn't these errors, so it's kind of confusing. The problem seems to be because of relative links. Google crawler reports this URL as something it found:               http://example.com/event_comments/ChupacabraCon/eedit/event_comments/Siege_of_Augusta/event_comments/Genghis_Con_XXXV/91      However that isn't a URL thats generated by the site. The one below is:                http://example.com/event_comments/Genghis_Con_XXXV/91      I'm puzzled why Bings crawler isn't having a problem when Google is. Do I need to change all of the relative URLs to strict? Is there another work around?


Serve 404 error, if typing not exact URL

At the moment, when I type:               xyz.lo/abc.php/123      in my webbrowser, Apache serves the same page if I were typing               xyz.lo/abc.php      Unfortunatelly relative links present in HTML won't work with the first version. How do I make Apache serve 404 error, if I type not exact URL?


Using hreflang to specify a catchall language

We have a site primarily targeted at the UK market, and are adding a US-market alternative. As per Google's recommendations: > To indicate to Google that you want the German version of the page to be > served to searchers using Google in German, the en-us version to searchers > using google.com in English, and the en-gb version to searchers using > google.co.uk in English, use rel="alternate" hreflang="x" to identify > alternate language versions. Which gives us:               <link rel="alternate" hreflang="en-gb" href="http://www.example.com/page.html" />     <link rel="alternate" hreflang="en-us" href="http://www.example.com/us/page.html" />      We do get enquiries from other areas of the world - particularly where there are expat communities (Dubai, UAE, Portugal etc). By adding the above tags, is there a risk that Google will only surface our site for UK and US search users? Do we need to specify a catch-all that will default all other searches to our UK site?


Duplicate meta title and description displayed in Google Webmaster Tools

In Google Webmaster Tools under _Search Appearance --> HTML Improvements_ it's showing: Duplicate Meta Titles - 166   Duplicate Meta Descriptions - 275 For example: **Duplicate title tags** _Offer prices on Guitars, Pianos, Drums, Saxophones & Violins - Offers in Bangalore, Chennai, Hyderab_ > /musical-instruments-2 > > /musical-instruments-2?manufactureid=103&pagesize=40 > > /musical-instruments-2?manufactureid=103&pagesize=800&orderby=15 > > /musical-instruments-2?manufactureid=56&pagesize=320 > > /musical-instruments-2?manufactureid=60&pagesize=160 > > /musical-instruments-2?manufactureid=86&pagesize=400 > > /musical-instruments-2?pagesize=12&manufactureid=76&orderby=10 > > /musical-instruments-2?pagesize=240 > > /musical-instruments-2?pagesize=600 > > /musical-instruments-2?pagesize=80&manufactureid=104 **Duplicate meta descriptions** _Springwel Mattress Bangalore with 5 Guaranteed Benefits | Best Price, Quick Door Step Service, Free_ > /springwel?orderby=11 > > /springwel?orderby=15 > > /springwel?pagesize=160 > > /springwel?pagesize=350 > > /springwel?pagesize=40 Why is it showing this and how can I remove these duplicate titles and descriptions?


Streaming recorded video

What do I need to do in order to stream recorded videos? I have worked with recording and streaming video contents in real time. I've also worked with VOD application. But I seem to not find much resource on how can I stream recorded content. It would work like a TV with schedules etc, except that it is hosted on the internet. _Edit:_ In case it is not clear enough, I want to _schedule_ streaming.


jquery ui minify

I have a series of web pages that link to the following:               jquery-ui-1.8.4.custom.min.js     jquery.ui.widget.js     jquery.ui.core.js     jquery.ui.accordion.js     jquery.ui.selectmenu.js     jquery.ui.button.js      Not every page uses each .js (for example, not every pages uses jquery.ui.button) however I was wondering if it would make more sense to combine all of these files and minify them into a single.js file and include it on every page?


Embarking on a website redevelopment and all developers pushing to move to ASP.NET 4.0

Our company is going through a website redevelopment / retooling exercise and we are not quite sure which direction to take. We are told that the website was built in ASP classic and that we should be moving to ASP.NET 4.0. Some developers refuse to do any work in the ASP classic framework citing the advantages of ASP.NET 4.0-- stability, compilation, language support. We are generally happy with our website as is. There are some kinks in the backend involving forms and there is little integration between the CRM of the website and any content management system. Does the move from ASP classic to ASP.NET 4.0 give major advantages to the integration between how content is created, and delivered to our customers?

Is it possible to find all subdomains for a certain domain?

a client of mine is currently hosting a web-project on one of his servers with some sub domains for previews, testing etc. Those are really hard to guess sub domains like:   * `donottestme123789.example.com`   * `preview_for_you15685485468.example.com` and so on ... In the past days we noticed, that there are some users using those project instances which shouldn't even know of those :-) Is there any way besides Google or brute forcing to get a full listing of sub domains from a domain?


Should pages linked to in my nav and footer be included in my sitemap?

I'm more of a back end developer and can't answer this question from my own research. When setting up the links in my sitemap, do I need to include the pages that I link to in my top navigation and footer? These links show up on all pages and will be crawled if/when any page on the site is crawled.


Why my domain redirect on Google Apps is returning 404?

I have a configuration in the Google Apps Control Panel (dcc.securepaynet.net) to redirect tombrito.com to http://buscatextual.cnpq.br/buscatextual/visualizacv.do?id=K4499244H9. It worked fine until some days ago, but now it's returning 404. If you access tombrito.com you can see the favicon in the title of the browser tab, but the page shows a 404 error. The target page http://buscatextual.cnpq.br/buscatextual/visualizacv.do?id=K4499244H9 is fine, it's only some problem with my redirect. Any idea what's wrong here?


Will lower casing all canonical url solve duplicate issue

The website I'm working on can have both upper and lower case URLs, even though they will produce the exact same content. eg: http://www.freeofficefinder.com/uk/office-space/london/soho and http://www.freeofficefinder.com/uk/office-space/london/SOHO Will both produce the same search results for the area "Soho". I have just placed a "Lower Case" canonical url in the all the pages now seeing as Google was obviously complaining about "duplicate" results. After almost 4 weeks these pages are still listed as being duplicate even though the Canonical URL is lower case (even for the uppercase links) Is there something else I should do, will this "canonical URL" work, or should I just wait a little longer for Google to update my index in Google Webmaster Tools?


best way to cleanly display 15-20 youtube videos in a webpage?

I am currently building a website for a client who has about 20 or so videos that he wants put on a video gallery page and I was wondering if you guys could help me out and give me some advice on how to go about this. I have found yoxview, possibly lightbox... but I don't know if that popup window is really good for video browsing. Also, should/could this be asked in the webmasters instead of stackoverflow?


What are the graphical and thematic trend cycles in web design?

I think web design is not different than any other technology aesthetic, and there are trends that form from successful standouts being copied, but through a slight overcompensation, which then builds upon the trend. For instance bell bottom jeans--first a designer had a slightly wide cut, which proved original, and then the next season 5 other designers did the same but wider. And so on, until after a couple years, bell bottoms were super wide and a designer came up with a peg leg and that "reset" the trend. You can see this in other forms of art/technology/culture --> ford explorer, brings the jeep cherokee, brings the cadillac and then the hummer to be reset by the mini or prius. OK. . . so the question I have, is how might these sort of trend cycles manifest in web design?


How to check if someone is using my website resources?

How can I check whether someone is using the resources hosted on my website? I have a website (coded in PHP) and I have uploaded a few images there. I want to know who is using those images on other sites. Normally, the people use image URL to access and display images from my website. I don't need the code, just need some guidelines. If you can give me some pseudo code, that's appreciated too :P **EDIT:**   Seeing the responses, I feel that my question was't well-versed, so to rephrase: > I need the PHP code to check who is using images hosted on my site Is this possible in PHP? If yes, what should be the algorithm for it? Any coding guidelines?


My Domain Name Appears Twice in Most of My URLs

I've recently been adding some backlinks to other articles within my site. I don't know if it's this that is now causing me a problem. I now notice that Google has indexed my sites pages again but this time all the URL's to content pages have the domain name twice in the URL of the page. For example I am seeing these type of URLs; `http://www.questbg.com/www.questbg.com/...-blog.html` The article will then display on the home page underneath the frontpage module etc. If I type in the correct URL; `http:www.questbg.com/lifestyle/957-blog.html` then the page displays correctly but Google (and Bing) have now changed all my URLs to the double domain type. My sitemap displays all the correct URLs with none of the wrong ones.


E-Commerce Website for Retail AND wholesale

I work for a clothing designer company (Kit + Lili) that has been in business for 5 years. We currently sell our product wholesale using a company called Groupe BDM and retail through Shopify. It is an incredibly inefficient system, and I'd like to find a platform for a website that allows both retail sales/pricing and wholesale login/pricing. Things to consider: -I do not having programming experience - in fact the ability to upload seasonal clothing, pricing, and sku's with minimal to no coding is essential. Shopify provides the templates for this. They just don't yet have an app in place to allow wholesale login/pricing. -For the wholesale part of the site, we need the ability to place orders and check out, but not require payment through a shopping cart app. At the same time, we need the shopping cart for retail. With the clothing industry, orders are usually made 6 months prior to shipping and receiving payment. - Does such a platform exist or do I need to find a web designer who can create a site to our specifications? Also, let me know if this question might be better posted in a different forum. Thanks.


How do i properly use CustomVars in google analytics?

How do i properly use custom vars in google analytics? I used the code below and here is what i notice   1. i only seen 'one' being in the get request   2. After 24 hours only 'one' showed up   3. After commenting out one and changing the 2 vars to use slotIndex-1 i notice NO vars going through GA What am i doing wrong? -edit again- Ok everything works. The problem is what i guessed in my answer. Then in firefox i accidentally used the profile which had cookies disabled so GA .gif wasnt being requested. In short the problem below was the string is too long or the value wasnt a string.               var _gaq = _gaq || [];     _gaq.push(['_setAccount', 'UA-12345678-1']);          if (cond) {         _gaq.push(['_setCustomVar',1, 'one', d1,1]);          _gaq.push(['_setCustomVar',2, 'name two', "sz",1]);          _gaq.push(['_setCustomVar',3, 'name3', boolVal,1]);      }     _gaq.push(['_trackPageview']);          (function () {         var ga = document.createElement('script'); ga.type = 'text/javascript'; ga.async = true;         ga.src = ('https:' == document.location.protocol ? 'https://ssl' : 'http://www') + '.google-analytics.com/ga.js';         var s = document.getElementsByTagName('script')[0]; s.parentNode.insertBefore(ga, s);     })();

How to properly use Google Webmaster Tools (for "non-www" instead of "www")

I'm trying to use Google Webmaster Tools correctly: I don't use the `www` in my website's URL, but just noticed that I must have entered the `www` when I originally added my site to Webmaster Tools a few months ago, because they have most of my site indexed with the `www` included. I guess what I'm trying to ask is if I should create another website profile without the `www` included in the URL. Is Google viewing both versions as two different websites? Am I hurting myself by not using the `www`? How do they handle adding the verification file when both versions are really the same site? The verification file will be in the same spot on the server for either version. If I was to use the same verification file when creating a new profile for the non `www` version, what would happen? Also what is weird is that I have a sitemap created for my site, but Webmaster Tools says that there isn't one available. I created it with Yoast's WordPress SEO plugin.


if... or conditional comments?

So I'm working on this website for my dad (http://tendonaid.com/) and it works nice in modern browsers, but apparently he's getting comments on how the top navigation doesn't work on Internet Explorer (7 and lower, I think). It's shifts to the right instead of centering in the middle. My question is, how do I fix this? Or, is there some sort of if/or conditional comment thing I can do that says IF IE... use this class for the div / OR (any other browser) use this other class?


Is limiting the page views from users but allowing Googlebot unlimited access considered cloaking?

Domaintools when accessing Whois info like this: http://whois.domaintools.com/google.com gives error once free account reaches 20 or so lookups. It then does not return a HTTP 200. But Google it seems does not get this error and it can crawl all of their URLs. In this case, Google sees a version but visitors may see different version. I'm not sure how Domaintools allow special access for Google. Isn't that called cloaking? I need to understand this so that I can use this feature for my sites too.


How to make Subdomains identified as separate sites by Search Engines

Did the Google Webmaster +1 statistics move somewhere else or are they just gone?

Google Webmaster used to have very nice statistics for a while. Then it was taken off. Did it move elsewhere? Or did it merely vanish?


Is it OK to use translations obtained via crawling a translation service with advertising?

Google and Bing not only have their API-based translation, but also their websites which allow for one-off translation. While these are intended for use by humans, this also allows for a webcrawler to automatically crawl the site and obtain translations of short phrases. If a human were to manually browse to a given provider's translation site and input a phrase to be translated, then stick it up on their blog, it seems like this would be a reasonable use. However, what are the implications of crawling a translation service to obtain the results **by proxy** for the user? Sort of like TranslationParty but being ad-supported rather than ad-free? The terms and conditions for Google, for example, seem pretty straightforward about fair use of their translation API, but use of the site interface seems unclear.


What to do if you are listed incorrectly as an administrative or technical contact for a domain?

I recently got a letter in the mail from one of those sketchy "website listing services" that offer to submit your website to search engines for a fee. Before throwing it away I noticed that the domain name was not any of the ones I own. I looked up the name on networksolutions.com, and sure enough, my contact information (name, address, and phone number) is listed as the administrative and technical contact for the domain, along with an email address that is not mine. Is there anything I can do to correct this? Is this associated with any known scams?


How can donations be accepted in international currency and be paid out in USD?

I have a client that is a non profit organization in the United States. They currently have a donation button (provided by a payment processor company) on their website that only accepts USD. They have more and more supporters in other countries but are not able to accept donations online in other currencies. How can I enable them to accept donations in other currencies that people will pay for with a local credit card? Will I need to make a relationship with multiple different payment processors for each currency that they want to accept? Will I need to have individual buttons on their site for each country? E.g. "If you're Canadian, click the donation button with a maple leaf on it!" Is there a way to accept the most-used currencies in the world in one fell swoop? The client is most interested in accepting donations in CAD, GBP and EUR. They also have interest in AUD, MXN and INR. I know that they also reach out to Turkey and Russia, so assume they would be interested in TRY and RUB.


How to redirect my brand new domain to Dlinkddns.com

Today I bought a domain from GoDaddy for my personal usage. I'm trying to forward requests from the domain to a DlinkDDNS account with no success so far. `https://account.dlinkddns.com:port` works great. I can access the server behind my router. The same request using the domain isn't working `https://www.domain.com:port`. On GoDaddy the domain is set to forwarding with masking. I'm wondering if the redirection is immediate or if it can take a few hours/days to be effective. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

How to overcome duplicate content SEO impact when enforcing https (SSL) site wide on an existing site

We're about to move a large existing site to https (SSL). I was a little concerned after reading this thread. Has anyone else experienced a negative impact when transitioning from http to https? Would adding a 301 redirect and updating the sitemap cover all the bases?


Impact of migrating home page from HTTP to HTTPS on search results

I've had to change one of my site's home page to HTTPS from HTTP. I had plenty of links coming into the HTTP page and was performing well in Google against many of my targeted search phrases. I did a 301 redirect from the HTTP page to transfer the link juice to the HTTPS page (and to prevent duplicate content issues) but my search rankings have tanked which indicates no link juice has been transferred. My PageRank has vanished - which I'd expect - but I'm really surprised that the SERP rankings fell off the face of the earth. Anyone have any ideas how I can recover from this? I've waited a couple of months since the changes took effect just in case Google was taking time to check it out.

How do I get a TB of data to a new web server?

I have a TB of compressed media files that I need to get to a remote web server with a bit of urgency. (from my office) Our upload rate is only 500KB/s, which would suggest ~23 days to upload.

multiple urls serving same content - how to handle better?

Urls go like               domain/approved/education/kids/female      but I also have filter page in place that lets you do this               domain/approved/education-entertainment-business/kids/female and so on      which means list all female kids articles no matter what Level1 category they fall in. But that also means that               domain/approved/      and               domain/approved/education-entertainment-business      list exactly the same content (assuming level2 only has 3 categories - kids, teenager and adult). How to handle duplicacy in this case for the sake of canonical url and so on. Also, my sitemaps should not worry about filtering URLs (the ones with dashes), right?


.htaccess mod_rewrite 500 internal server error

Whenever I place my .htaccess file in my web directory I receive a 500 internal server error and within the error.log file specifying:               [Sat Jan 21 13:46:07 2012] [error] [client xx.xx.xxx.xx] Request exceeded the limit     of 10 internal redirects due to probable configuration error.

Does a plain vanilla site benefit from a "canonical" directive?

So I thought I knew what "canonical" was for. As I understood it (and to be fair, most of the examples on the web) it avoids search engines seeing `foo.htm` and `foo.htm?parameter=1` as duplicate content, by specifying that only one of them is the canonical version. Therefore it seemed to me to be an issue exclusive to more complex sites (sites with server side processing). But take a "vanilla" brochure site of say just five pages (Home, AboutUs, ContactUs, OurProducts, Testimonials). That's just five htm files, no server side processing, nothing at all that's going to risk looking like duplicate content. But a colleague has said we need a rel='canonical' on at least the home page to avoid               http://www.example.com     http://example.com     http://www.example.com/home.htm      looking like duplicate content. Is he right?


Domain name only works with www. but not without the www

I have searched for this problem numerous times but I can't quite apply the solution to my problem. The usual solution I find is that I need to add an A-record to my dns, currently I only have a C-name record for host 'www' to my DNS. The problem is, I'm having trouble understanding what goes in the 'host' section of the record when trying to create an A-record. Here is a screenshot to my domain registrar where I am trying to create the record. http://i.imgur.com/M18zm.png I have tried creating an A-record with the 'host' field set to *, but that is not a valid entry, nor is leaving it blank. Anyone have any suggestions?


Google not indexing/updating rel="canonical" pages

I had same content with different links and I wanted to prioritize the indexing of different webpages. For example `/A/1232` and `/A/1232/tum_bin_jiya_jay` represent same content but I wanted to give more priority to `/A/1232/tum_bin_jiya_jay` link over `/A/1232`. So I put this canonical links in all pages from where I wanted to tell Google please give more preference to the link given in this page I used this in non- priority links and don't use any canonical in priority links. In the head section of URL `/A/1232` I put below line so that Google can give more priority to below page but even after 4 days none of such pages are indexed by Google                 <link rel="canonical"  href="http://example.com/A/1232/tum_bin_jiya_jay" />      Can anyone suggest what should I do, I have submitted both links to Google webmaster and earlier links are already indexed so Google is not indexing `/A/1232/tum_bin_jiya_jay` link but Google Webmaster will give more priority to those links and will index but I don't know why its not indexing. If i remove earlier links from Google webmaster sitemap than what is the chances of including this type of links.which is advisable.


Clearing cache with CloudFlare?

Is it possible to clear or avoid CloudFlare cache while doing development? I'm developing a site that has caching on several levels - WordPress supercache, the caching done by the browser, and caching through the DNS provider, CloudFlare (free account version). I cannot seem to get my CSS to refresh, despite deleting the browser cache, deleting the WordPress supercache cache, & disabling caching (firefox web development toolbar), so I'm guessing the cached copy that remains is due to the DNS, but have no idea how to clear it. Any suggestions?


DNS query re website Status: inactive

There is a website that I am assisting with which, when you do a DNS look up on Who.is, returns a Website Status of "inactive". I also noticed the server type is incorrectly reported. This is not a website I generally use for DNS queries so am unsure if it is reliable. Using other DNS checking services reports what Iwould expect and the site is functioning correctly. Research I have done with regard to **Website Status: inactive** suggests an issue with the DNS configuration? I am looking for help understanding if this is something to be concerned with and if possible how to update this value or how it gets set in the first place.


Is there a free PHP/AJAX file management script with directory synchronization?

How can I safely analyze users' password quality?

Given a registration service website with rather lax password requirements for the users (6-12 characters with no special requirements), how can I safely analyze what _quality_ of passwords users pick without storing them in plain text? For background: This question came up when discussing whether or not users of the service pick sufficiently "good" passwords, and if they do not, if there is enough reason to enforce this by setting tighter password requirements. Assuming some sort of rating system for the password, what interests the team is the ratio of poor passwords (only letters, no special signs, no upper-/lower case variation, repeating signs, partial match with own name or email, etc) compared to good passwords. Supposedly, implementing a rating algorithm that stores the password quality rating at the time users set their passwords would be a good way, but is there any more considerations to take with this? What kind of assertions about password quality can I make and rate without actually storing the passwords? And do I just log password ratings without any other data, or how could I cross reference password quality with user demographics (age, gender, activity on the service) in a way that respects user privacy and data security?


FTP file access problem

I recently got a malware on my website. I have made the backup of the website on my computer and trying to wipe off my FTP. I am trying to delete the root folder but getting this error message on all of the malicious files,               Response:   550 Could not delete index.php: Permission denied      I am the sole administrator of the ftp so permission should not have been an issue. My host provider seems not to suffer from this problem as his websites are running well without any malware. I have also tried to change the root to 777 to see if the file permission change could help me delete the files but still I am getting the same error. Please help out. Thanks


STRONG and EM tags inside H1 and H2 and SEO on database-driven website

I am trying to tweak the SEO of my Website, I have read a 400 SEO Bible PDF document that I came across. An aspect of my website that was not included in my SEO optimisation. The STRONG and EM HTML tags. They do what B and I (bold/italic) tags do but they are very much needed by Google's bot, apparently, in order for it to understand what the page is about, and to index it in its particular way. Now, I have around 28K products, each has among other fields a Title(varchar) and Desc(text) fields. Title and description. I am now updating the titles and descriptions with `<strong></strong>` and `<em></em>` tags around the words I think are important and mostly, good keywords for me. But since my website was already done with SEO in mind, the title and descriptions were inside `<H1>` and `<H2>` tags. I thought and thought and managed to leave the text with `<strong>` and `<em>` clean in 2 places (the breadcrumbs /home/here/submenu/submenu2/ and the description), and the text stripped from STRONG and EM tags in the `<h1>` which is the title of every page. There are more pages to think of optimising in this way and my question is : Is it wise to leave the titles something like this?
Parker pen model 38Ak1
      or just remove (with PHP) the `<strong>` and `<em>` tags and just have:
Parker pen, model 38Ak1
      It is essential for me to understand if it's SEO wise to do this, so I'll do the same in other kinds of displaying pages and other arrangements on my website.


How can I create a content widget generator?

Sites like Buzzfeed offer widgets (Javascript, PHP, WordPress, etc.) for syndicating their content on other sites. Does anyone have any ideas on how I could go about creating/implementing some kind of interactive widget generator that gives users options for customizing their widget? I assume this would require RSS. Check out the Buzzfeed generator to see what I mean http://www.buzzfeed.com/network/widget

Confusion for specifying rel="canonical" for pages

I read this link & even this also, but I am still confused. That's why I plan to ask here, Please confirm me with your answer. My doubt is I have two pages: `GridViewPage.php` & `ListViewPage.php` having same content. So according to this in which page I have insert this code `<link rel="canonical" href="which url I should put here"/>`. And for opening `GridViewPage.php` page URL looks like: `http://example.com/article/show/abdominal-exercises/abdominal- crunch/79/87/list/`. & for opening `GridViewPage.php` page my URL looks like: `http://example.com/article/show/abdominal-exercises/abdominal- crunch/79/87/grid/`. Note: 79/87 are the dynamic database table id's.


Redirect public traffic to a different subfolder, while local traffic remains unchanged

I would like to have local (intranet) HTTP traffic go to the `/var/www/html` folder while any public traffic goes to the subfolder, `/var/www/html/public` I've tried this configuration, with some variation, in httpd.conf               <VirtualHost PRIVATE-IP>         DocumentRoot /var/www/html         ServerName ecn         ErrorLog /var/www/logs/error/private         CustomLog /var/www/logs/access/private common     </VirtualHost>          <VirtualHost PUBLIC-IP>         DocumentRoot /var/www/html/public         ServerName PUBLIC-DOMAIN-NAME         ErrorLog /var/www/logs/error/public         CustomLog /var/www/logs/access/public common     </VirtualHost>      PUBLIC-IP, PRIVATE-IP, and PUBLIC-DOMAIN name are all replaced with the correct values in the actual document. The problem is, local traffic can browse fine but remote traffic is directed to the root folder and getting 403d (because I have that folder blocked off through my .htaccess file). If I append `/public` to the URL it works fine.


Strange script font appearing in Google search results and Firebug

The weirdest thing has just occurred. I did a google search and once the page had rendered I could see double f's had been replaced with a strange script font. Even weirder, once I chose to have a look using Firebug, the strange script font appeared there also. Why is this? I've attached a picture of what I saw.![alt text](http://i.stack.imgur.com/huM03.jpg) P.S. The Search was for "wget facebook" and I'm using Firefox 3.6 on Mac OS X 10.5


Why my site is not ranking for particular keyword

My site is only 3 days to be 6 months old. This website is unique, that is there is no competitor to this type site in India, providing comparison of payment gateways in India, besides the payment gateways companies itself. I've optimized it for key word : "payment gateway" I've changed the url's twice, latest being 3 months back, in which case Google Webmaster gave plently of 404's. I corrected the useful 404's and left meaningless ones as it is. What is the reason it's not ranking well for payment gateways? Even site with single page about "Payment gateways" seem to be ranking better than this. Is it does to: 1) Lot of outbound links to in-context companies and information 2) 404's as reported in Google Webmaster My another site is successfully getting 1500 unique visitors daily and is up in Google ranking. I don't know why it is not!


Critique of SEO of this HTML

I'm designing a new site which I want to be as SEO friendly as possible, fast and responsive, semantic and very accessible. A lot of these things, embarrassingly are quite new to me. Have I miss applied anything? I want the template to be perfect. Live demo: http://69.24.73.172/demos/newDemo/ HTML:               <!DOCTYPE html>                                         <meta charset="UTF-8" />             <title>Welcome to Scirra.com</title>             <meta name="description" content="Construct 2, the HTML5 games creator." />             <meta name="keywords" content="game maker, game builder, html5, create games, games creator" />             <link rel="stylesheet" href="css/default.css" type="text/css" />              <link rel="stylesheet" href="plugins/coin-slider/coin-slider-styles.css" type="text/css" />

                         <input type="text" name="SearchBox" id="SearchBox" tabindex="1" />
