How to solve misspelling error in non English website to optimize SEO?

I am the owner of website `pretesti.ge`. The content is not English and when I try to optimize it for SEO I come across the misspelling errors ("This page contains some spelling errors.").   1.

Web hosting for Israeli visitors

I developed a version of a client's main website in Hebrew. Most of the Hebrew site visitors will be coming from Israel. My server is fast in the States but sluggish in Israel (per some ping testing). How can I speed up serving the site to Israel?


How can I distinguish between two files with the same name in Google Analytics?

I've got two index.html files for different subdomains (www. and gametimer.smartersoftware.de). I have enabled sub-domain tracking in Google Analytics and posted the corresponding script. However, I only see index.html, apparently for both files. I would like to be able to distinguish between the two. What do I have to change to enable that?

legal to post pictures...?

I am planning on working on an erotic website and I am wondering what might be the risks implied in doing so. I would firstly ask sorry if this is not the right website to ask but there is not stackexchange for law/legal related problems. If you do a quick search on google for "sexy girls" you will get a lot of results. Suppose I would like to take said pictures and save them in my database. Is it legal to do so? Thanks in advance.

Why my subdomain has higher page rank than main domain?

What is the possible cause that make my subdomain to have higher page rank than my main domain? I can understand that subdomain and main domain are considered a different domain, but the main domain traffic has more traffic and more content while the subdomain only has 3% of the main traffic.   * Main domain: http://www.khmerload.com (Pagerank 2)   * Sub domain: http://music.khmerload.com (Pagerank 3)


How Google will treat my website if I make my home desktop PC as server to host my website?

My self is quite disappointed with hosting services we have in India, and looking forward to make my home desktop PC as server to make host my website (database and pages).

Which browsers handle `Content-Encoding: gzip` and which of them has any special requirements on encodinq quality?

I am creating a "hand made" HTTP 1/0, 1/1 server. I recently integrated zip lib so now I can stream encoded gziped data in and out. I wonder Which major browsers (alive ones - IE6-IE10, Chrome, FF, etc) send `Accept-Encoding: deflate, gzip, ...` and so can handle `Content-Encoding: gzip` today? Which of them send any quality expectations? Which of them can send encoded gziped post request and multypart/form data to my server?

Should I always use HTML5 Microdata for SEO?

So I've been looking into this HTML 5 Microdata, but I'm not sure if or when it is appropriate to use. I know that if used with rating and you search a website it will pull up things like video rating and article ratings etc. But for Microdata like People or Places, is that so useful that I should start implementing it into all my websites - big and small? How big of an impact will this really have on my SEO if I start using Microdata on everything?


Why does my site only work with a www in the URL?

I'm a bit confused as the following points:   1. There is a simple text website, with no javascript, that works only with the prefix. `http://www.mysite.corporation.com` works but `http//mysite.corporation.com` will not work. What could be going on?   2. I run a few LAMP vps' and don't recall ever having trouble with the leading www   3. Why do people write URLs with a www. Is there some history behind this?


I have a video streaming site with a paywall. How do I track users that have been referred by an affiliate?

What I would like to do is track if a user has been referred to my website. If the incoming user purchases something I would like to share revenue with the affiliate. I'm not sure what the common ways people do this. I can put a new user form on the affiliate website and then track each new user that form creates. This creates a problem of people who don't create a new user account but come to the website through a link. How do I manage this?


Home page at /home-page-name instead of /

I was wondering if having your home page at               http://domain.com/home-page-name       instead of just:               http://domain.com/      would affect SEO? Not only that, but if users go to `domain.com` they are redirected to `domain.com/home-page-name` within the PHP application. So I just was wondering if any of that hindered or greatly hindered SEO (namely, Google ranking)? And if so, why?


Seo Fake backlinking from other sites

The title might be a little bit confusing. Well, I noticed that someone had used a page's URL for backlinking or indexing his keywords. This is what he did: The normal url:               http:// .....Default.aspx      He edited the normal url to:                http:// ..... Default.aspx?places-to-buy-wedding-dresses      So Now (what I think) the person have been making backlinks for the edited url. So when I search for the actual site. Then the edited url shows up in google. (also the normal url, with a description of the edited url.) So the edited url doesn't actually exist. It's just created as Default.aspx?.. Any explanations? This didn't happened to my site, just noticed it in another site. How can I do avoid this happening to my site?


Embedded ratings widget or addon for putting ratings/reviews on our web site?

I need to integrate a product rating and review feature into my company's product pages. Rather than build one from scratch, I am exploring the options available for third party products, such as powerreviews.com. _(Our site users will provide all of the ratings and reviews. We do not need to buy reviews)._ Ideally, I am looking for something like Disqus where I simply accepted the default values in the administrator and added a couple of lines in my site and voila, I had an awesome comments section to each page of my web site. What are the options to add product ratings and reviews to our site?


How does 301 redirection work across the network? & should I use it if there is a chance we made need to change the resource back to the original URL?

I've built a CMS that makes it fairly easy for my client to relocate pages in their site hierarchy. This site has all human-readable and intuitive URLs, so moving a page necessarily means that its URL changes. I am storing records of each resource's past URLs in the data store so that requests for bygone URLs are re-routed to their appropriate successors. I'm warning my clients not to re-arrange the site willy-nilly (for numerous reasons). But nevertheless I suspect there's a chance page moves could get reversed from time to time. So I'm trying to figure out whether 301 or 302 or 307 redirects should be used when serving up pages to requests for out-of-date URLs. I understand the value of using 301 for search engine optimization. But my concern is with this system possibly inadvertently making some pages unavailable to some users **QUESTIONS:**   1. That is, if the clients move a page at location/URL A to a new location B, then users get the redirect for A to B, and then the clients move the page back to A again, how long can I expect any of those users to keep getting their requests for A redirected to B -- in this case sending them to my friendly 404 page?   2. Is it until an item in their browser history is cleared?   3. Is the redirect somehow cached in routers throughout the internet?   4. How does this work?   5. How long can I expect the 301 redirect to linger _out there_ ?


Redirect for special characters

I want to set a redirect as below. `http://www.domain.com/course/view.php?id=2` **TO** `http://www.domain.com/course/view.php?id=2&section=1` Can you please let me know how can this be set ?


For SEO, is a 301 or 302 redirect better for affiliate links? Are there any benefits/drawbacks for either? PriceGrabber uses 301 Shopzilla uses 302 Nextag uses 302


Avoiding increases in 404 errors after massive URL deletion

We have a relatively new website (no external links, PR0, DA17) and we are making a major change in content. On the one hand we have to incorporate new content and otherwise eliminate much old content. When we finally make this change, for several reasons, more than 100,000 URLs will give a `404` error. The main reason is that the URL pattern of products will change from something like `example.com/1871-producto1/` to `example.com/producto1/` **How would you recommend to proceed in order to minimize page not found errors?** In most cases, we will do a `301` redirect. But we do not want to abuse these redirects. So far we are blocking `404` pages using `robots.txt` and manually de-indexing many from Webmaster tools, as explained by Google here. **Would you launch the site with this big amount of 404 errors, hoping that they will gradually disappear, or would you clean them in any other way?**


Several audio tracks with a flash video

I have videos in different formats (wma, mkv) with several audio tracks (one by language). I would like to make these videos available in streaming for video-on-demand. One told me that the flash video format cannot handle more than one audio track. If this is true, what are my options to provide these videos ? I have two probably working ideas and one for which I'm not sure because of flash players capabilities. The first idea is to create for each mkv, N flash videos, one for each sound track. This is probably easy to do with ffmpeg for example. This solution has the advantage of simplicity but requires much more storage, since the video part will be stored several times. The second solution would be to dynamically generate the flash video with the desired language once the customer has paid for it. I think this would be very tricky to implement correctly. It may also not be fast enough to do the conversion. So I probably forget this one. The third solution would be perfect but I don't know if it is possible at all. It consists on spliting audio and video apart and let the flash player mix the correct audio track with the video on the customer computer. I have no idea wether this is possible with adobe flash, nor if there are existing implementations. What do you think about the third option ? Do you have better suggestions ? Thanks !


Use Google Apps mail with website on a separate web host

We've bought a domain through the free Google Apps service and use the Gmail account provided. I'm thinking of hosting our own site on a separate web host, but emails sent to our domain might be directed to our web host. Is there a way to continue using Gmail while the domain points to the web host? I've never dealt with domain names and web hosts before, nor am I experienced with web development (will use a CMS).


Google alternative to Schema.org’s LimitedAvailability

We've recently been trying to implement schema.org more fully on our e-commerce site (and gotten nothing but headaches). We often allow customers to place an online order for backordered products, especially if we know they'll be back in stock soon. To accommodate this we're using an availability of LimitedAvailability and the availabilityStarts property. Here's a sample from the site:

Availability: Backordered Until 07-07-2014
              <link itemprop="availability" href="http://schema.org/LimitedAvailability">         <meta content="2014-07-07T00:00:00+00:00" itemprop="availabilityStarts">
      The problem is our Google Merchant Center is complaining of "Invalid microdata for availability information on product landing page" and flagging the LimitedAvailability value as invalid. What are my alternatives short of just not using schema markup on these products? None of the other ItemAvailability values really fit the bill. Has anyone else dealt with this inconsistency?


How to avoid basic authentication warning when using protected directory?

I used cpanel on my hosted site to set up a password protected directory to allow downloads of specific files. I send people a link to the file by email and include their username and password so they can authenticate and download the file. When people use IE there is a warning message: _Warning this server is requesting your username and password be sent in an insecure manner..._ This server is Apache. How can I stop this messsage appearing? Will SSL stop it? I would prefer to not have to use SSL.


Apache http.conf allow intranet

what would be the correct config to allow only authenticated users and the intranet (without need for a password) in apache? This does not request a password and without the "satisfy any" intranet users are also required to enter a password...               <Directory "/var/www">     #   Allow Network Access and/or Basic Auth     Satisfy any          allow from 192.168          AuthName "Enter passwd!"     require valid-user     AuthUserFile /var/.passwd     AuthType Basic     allow from all     order deny,allow     </Directory>


Griefing to steal pagerank off my website?

I was looking today in my Google Webmaster tools for my website and see duplicate titles for the following pages on my website (small sample out of many on my site index):               /?title=3_Misconceptions_Regarding_Traumatic_Human_brain_Injury365     /?title=3_or_more_Misguided_beliefs_Pertaining_to_Disturbing_Head_Incidents2902384     /?title=A_Listing_Of_Successful_Web_Marketing_Tips_For_EveryoneHelpful_Online_Marketing_Methods_For_Easy_Success     /?title=Adhere_to_This_kind_of_Online_marketing_Guidance_To_develop_Your_Business      These are certainly not pages I have created! I also had a look at my structured data which I have created on my site and I can see this (small sample out of many):               Structured Data > __sid=11 (Markup: kualalumpur.yalwa.my)     Structured Data > __sid=7 (Markup: www.locanto.cn)      None of this is the result of something I have done. It's obviously some sort of griefing or elaborate plan to steal pagerank. Yesterday I installed php automated 301 redirects and canonicals on all my pages to try to firm this up (thanks to some wonderful help from stack overflow people). But I'd like to understand more about this and what their objective is.


Using a front controller design pattern doesn't allow images to be served

I am currently using a front controller. All requests for my website go through it. I have a problem with image links like:               <img src="img/image.jpg" />      Then my front controller will try to dispatch the request to: _application/controller/ImgController.php_. Then the image won't load. I think it has something to do with the _.htaccess_ file:               RewriteEngine On     RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -s [OR]     RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -l [OR]     RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d     RewriteRule ^.*$ - [NC,L]     RewriteRule ^.*$ index.php [NC,L]

Bing "Search within" Bar in Results

Bing has started showing a "Search within xyz.com" bar for some searches. This appears in the organic listings and not ads (like Google has). ![Bing Search Bar](http://i.stack.imgur.com/9C49j.png) This has recently started showing for one of my clients but lands on the wrong page internally when used.

How can we get this to appear for other clients' sites?


Google shows my tumblr blog with original URL instead of custom domain

Values for saved data and saved requests much lower in CloudFlare analytics for several months

For several months now the pie charts in my CloudFlare analytics show a much smaller value for the saved data and saved requests (around 5%). Before this the pie charts showed a saving of around 50% since I was using CloudFlare (2013). Do you also see this change and can confirm this? Nothing was changed on the server-side and all my domains are affected.


Is an animated favicon.ico a bad idea? Are there cool uses of animated favicon.ico out there?

Whenever I generate a `favicon.ico` using html-kit.com, it gives me the option to get an animated version. I've never used an animated favicon, but other than it being "visually noisy" is there any reason it's a bad idea? Are there any creative or interesting usages of an animated favicon out there? **EDIT** To be clear, the animated version html-kit gives you is a GIF, which you can point to using a meta tag. _Sorry for implying favicon.ico image format supports animation!_


PHP header redirect that maintains query parameters?

I am experimenting with the PHP redirect http://www.phpjunkyard.com/tutorials/php-redirect.php. Specifically the 301 redirect to create a self correcting URL to help with typos - there's a unique ID in the URL as well that needs to be correct for it to work. Can I still allow for analytics tracking parameters e.g. `tracking=yes` ? Currently the rewrite strips this out.


Please help how to undo 301 on blog?

I have a landing page on example.com and then a blog at example.com/blog. I noticed I have very little traffic on the blog even though it has 45 posts. I went to Bing Webmaster Tools and found this 301 message "moved permanently" on H1 and title tags which I want to remove. My landing page looks perfect for title and H1 tags and the meta name on the landing page is perfect also. How can I get this on my blog too? Am I right in thinking this is why I have so little traffic?

how to setup a webhosting site?

I have purchased a cPanel/WHM web hosting reseller account and I want to set up a site for people to set up a hosting accounts. I also would like to have a domain name registration system on the site, so people can register the domain name they would like to host with me. How can I do this? Are there any ready- made scripts available or should I create my own script using the WHM API? Thanks a lot.


What URL should I use for my blog archives?

I'm starting a new blog and I have the ability to publish my archives (old post urls that will receive most of my search traffic) anywhere I choose without any repercussions. I've been taking some time to think about where to publish my archives, which will be dashified versions of post titles (i.e. `my-post-about-topic-x.html`) and my choices are to publish in the root (`blogurl.com/my-post.html`), in some subdirectory (`blogurl.com/archive/my- post.html`) or some other option I haven't thought of. I'm focusing on _simplicity_ so I like the first option (no subdirectory) but that requires that I reserve certain names for other templates (such as a list of all old posts at archive.html). However, not reserving any file names also has its benefits in simplicity. What are some other pros and cons of archive urls that I've listed? I'd be interested in any other archive urls you may think of as well.


Where can I find good web hosting reviews?

What are the problems of httponly and secure cookies?

We would like to set:   1. all our cookies (session id, etc.) as "httponly"   2. all security (session token, "remember me", etc.) cookies as "secure" Except compatiblity issues, what are the know problems to use httponly and secure cookies? Does Google bot support/like them? Are there some blocking issues/bugs with some browsers? I have seen well known websites not using "httponly" and "secure" for important cookies. Negligence? Technical reason? Note 1: the question is not related to security. We know why we need to set "httponly" and/or "secure". But as some well known websites not using `https` do not set these 2 attributes on sensitive cookies, we were trying to understand which reason is more important than security (compatibility, bug, SEO, etc).

Moving a domain and staging url

I have a website with web hosting I am planning on switching away from (Windows Server). So I got a hosting plan with a linux server and I was going to build a site there using Perch CMS. Right now I have a temporary domain (minus a real domain name) at http://gator1784.hostgator.com/~elaine/perch/ However Perch does not recommend using a temporary domain with a tilde (~elaine), what should I do? What are my options? I would just like to build this site on the new server and not have too many issues when I switch the domain over. The current website has to remain live for now (on the other server which is windows) while I build the current site on a linux server.


Does including the site name in a link help me to get more pages indexed?

I have my links set up like this:                          the abc.com is repeated many times. What I would like to know is if I need include this at all. How about if I code the links as:                          Would a search engine consider these the same as the links with abc.com?


Ideal cache times for browser caching times for different file types?

I am trying to improve my site's performance - and that includes caching. I found some great caching via .htaccess from the boilerplate html5 template - but the cache times seem odd. Does anyone have ideal or preferred caching times for their php/html, js, css, and image files?


When and when not to use a CDN

I'm working on a web-application that loads a couple of small gif images onto the screen. I'm using a relative path, which means they are loaded from the same web server that serves the php page. The operation is instantaneous, and I'm on a different continent than the web server. I just tested a CDN network for this (Cloudfront), thinking that moving static files closer to the user is a great idea. However, all of these files now take a half second or so to be rendered on the screen. I now have to use a absolute path, of course (https://xyzvf.cloufront.net/images/) Why is that? Is the absolute path a problem? I'm reducing the HTTP requests to my own server which is a good thing, but that delay is annoying. Isn't CDN suited for this?


How to collect articles for my new Article Directory

I've an idea and just want suggestions and comments about it. I'm launching an free article directory, which as usual will allow to have author's dofollow backlinks. How do I get good articles?

Google analytics: how many visitors have visited n times?

I'm trying to guess how many loyal users I have by counting the number of people that have visited the site 10 times. How can I answer this question with Google Analytics? "Visitor Loyalty" is a tempting answer, but the label for loyalty is "Visits that were the visitor's nth visit," and I want something more like "Visitors that visited n times." For example, we have 40 visits in the "51-100" visit range, but I think that could be a single user who visited 91 times. Or two users who visited 71 times each. The whole chart makes a good logic puzzle (I wonder if there's a unique solution) but doesn't easily answer the question I have.


Propagaging Apache rules Automatically for all folders Beneath Root

my webroot folder /httpdocs folder contains a .htaccess file The first lines look like this:               RewriteEngine on     RewriteBase /     AddDefaultCharset UTF-8     Options +FollowSymLinks -Indexes -ExecCGI     # DirectoryIndex index.php /index.php     # ServerSignature Off      Now, I want all settings that I have set it to, to be propagated automatically to other folders as well.   How can I do that? Thanks very much for suggestions.


Web Host for ASP.NET MVC Web Site

I currently host a ASP.NET MVC site on Microsoft Azure. It's a great service, but a little pricey. Costs like $0.12 an hour just to have your site live, and then they also charge SQL Transfer and storage fees. Not CRAZY expensive, but like basically $100/month even if the site isn't doing anything. I wanted to find a web host for an ASP.NET MVC site, that isn't going to break the bank while it's in its growing phase. Only data we really need is for storing user accounts for sign-up/logins, and for hosting images. I know a lot of hosts serve PHP/MySQL, and there's also plenty that serve ASP.NET Web Forms, but not nearly as many that serve ASP.NET MVC/SQL Server. You guys know of any that suit these conditions and are pretty easy to setup? Thanks!


Can I reuse my nameservers from one domain registrar with another?

My regular domain is one I got from GoDaddy. Just recently, I registered a short .cr domain (Costa Rica) in http://www.nic.cr/ . During registration, they asked for nameservers (and just nameservers), so I thought of reusing my GoDaddy nameservers. I kinda thought it would just be a straight-forward mapping, but nothing's happening, though. What am I missing here? (There is an option to use their own nameservers, but I just wanted to explore this option. If there's nothing to be had here, I'll fall back to using theirs.)


How can I mask sub-directory to work as DocumentRoot for multiple domains pointing to the same location?

I am trying to mask sub directories to effectively work as DocumentRoot for multiple domains. e.g. I have two domains - `domain1.com` & `domain2.com` both pointing to the same location. I want `domain1.com` to load contents in the DocumentRoot of the location whereas `domain2.com` should behave as if the DocumentRoot for it is within a subdirectory let's say `domain2.dir`. How do I achieve this using _.htaccess_? I tried the following but it did not work:               RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^domain1\.com [NC]     RewriteRule (.*) /domain2.dir [L]      The error I get is as below:               [Tue Jun 04 17:42:54 2013] [error] [client 192.168.1.30] Request exceeded the limit of 10 internal redirects due to probable configuration error. Use 'LimitInternalRecursion' to increase the limit if necessary. Use 'LogLevel debug' to get a backtrace.      I would appreciate any help on this.


Money in from website

EDIT 1: It seems that paypals micropayment system is currently my best option to retaining as much of the $1 as possible. Does anyone know of a way to retain even more of the $1? ORIGINAL QUESTION: I need to receive money from users from my webpage. They will only pay very small amounts, i.e. $1 max, but the total will probably go upto $10,000.00. What is the best way to receive this money from a webpage? When I say "the best way", i mean a method of getting the money from where I lose as little of it as possible in terms of fees for receiving the money.


How can I find unused/unapplied CSS rules in a stylesheet?

I've got a huge CSS file and an HTML file. I'd like to find out which rules are not used while displaying a HTML file. Are there tools for this? The CSS file has evolved over few years and from what I know no one has ever removed anything from it--people just wrote new overriding rules again and again. EDIT: It was suggested to use Dust-Me Selectors or Chrome's Web Page Performance tool. But they both work on level of selectors, and not individual rules. I've got lots of cases where a rule inside a selector is always overridden--and this is what I mostly want to get rid of. For example:               body { color: white; padding: 10em; }     h1 { color: black; }     p { color: black; }     ...     ul { color: black; }      All the text in my HTML is inside some wrapper element, so it is never white. `body`'s padding always works, so of course the whole `body` selector cannot be removed. And I'd like to get rid of such useless rules too. EDIT: And another case of useless rule: when it duplicates existing one without changing anything:               a       { margin-left: 5px; color: blue; }     a:hover { margin-left: 5px; color: red; }      I'd happily get rid of the second `margin-left`... again it seems to me that those tools does not find such things. EDIT: I appreciate all the answers, but sadly the tools you suggested did not make any useful suggestions. I upvoted your answers, but I'll wait for a tool that does things more granularly, as specified above. Thank you,


Is it good to use same keyword for multiple pages in one domain?

I want to know after Google recent updates, will it be good opt to use same keywords for multiple pages? Say- my keyword is "driver update" and I have a folder "HP" in website. Hp has lots of models like HP Elitebook, HP Envy, HP Mini, HP Pavilion and much more. HP Elitebook has many versions like HP Elitebook 2530p, HP Elitebook 2730p, HP Elitebook 8530w. Now should I create pages like "Driver update in HP Elitebook 2530p" , "Driver update in HP Elitebook 2730p", "Driver update in P Elitebook 8530w" or a single page "Driver update in HP Elitebook"? Which one will be the best option for better SE ranking- " single page or multiple pages using same keyword for different model versions" ?


Creating more than one sitemap and relating it to a subdomain - will I be penalized?

I'm thinking in creating a subdomain containing all the reviews from my products, for example: `http://reviews.mystore.com` At this subdomain, I have my `sitemap.xml` pointing for the reviews page about my product. So `reviews.mystore.com/sitemap.xml` will be like:               <url>       <loc>         http://reviews.mystore.com/products/204/reviews       </loc>       <lastmod>2014-05-20T12:05:43-03:00</lastmod>       <changefreq>weekly</changefreq>       <priority>0.5</priority>     </url>      And my reviews page like: `http://reviews.mystore.com/products/204/reviews` will have a reference to my original product page like:               <meta content="http://mystore.com/products/my_cool_product" property="og:url">     <link href="http://mystore.com/products/my_cool_product" rel="canonical">      Notice to `content` and `href` pointing to the ORIGINAL product page. Will doing this increase or decrease my rank?


.htaccess file size causes 500 Internal Server Error

As soon as my _.htaccess_ goes over approx 8410 bytes, I get a _500 Internal Server Error_. I don't think this is due to a bad redirect, as I have experimented with redirects in the _.htaccess_ and then with just text that is commented out `#`. (no actual commands in the _.htaccess_ file) Is there anything obvious that can cause this? **Update:** The site is on WordPress. Here are the redirects I was originally trying to add:               RewriteEngine On          ## 301 Redirects of old URLs to new     # 301 Redirect 1     RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING}  ^$     RewriteRule ^accesseries/underlay/prod_37\.html$ /product-category/accessories/underlays?

Why Can't I Add Google Font Families In cPanel Branding Editor?

I'm working on my own cPanel x3 theme. I've edited the stdheader.html file and have added this:               <link href="https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Dosis|Roboto+Condensed|Vollkorn" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css">     <link href="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/font-awesome/4.1.0/css/font-awesome.min.css" rel="stylesheet">      These are font families and font awesome. However, it just doesn't take. There are no errors in my Chrome console, but they also don't seem to be called. In others words that code is being ignored, and is not showing up in the source code. Can someone tell me why?


What percent of all active IP + User Agent combinations are not unique?

It's fairly common practice to define a unique user by a 1-to-1 hash of IP + User Agent. But not all unique users have a unique IP + User Agent combination. Thus: collisions - events misattributed to users who did not fire those events. This is especially problematic when trying to track unique users who use similar machines and settings all under the same roof of a large organization like a school or enterprise. My question is: What is the global background probability of IP + User Agent concurrency at any given time? I assume the rate is different for different times of day and regions. But I'm curious what the standard is.


Installing tumblr on a subdirectory

I'm trying to figure out how to get a tumblr blog to run under a subdirecory (not subdomain) and I'm kind of stuck. I was thinking of changing the cname of my domain to tumblr blog but that would change the entire domain, correct? Would it be done somewhere in the .htacess? I've seen it in action here http://www.senanyc.com/blog/ but I have no idea how they did it .


My website title shows up slightly different from what's in my title tag, only in Google search

I've included my page title in the title tag in this format: " blah blah blah | sitename ". But for some reason it's showing up on Google search results as " sitename: blah blah blah ". It shows up right on the actual tab itself, and even right on both Bing and Yahoo search, but different on Google search. Can't figure out why. EDIT: Let me clarify: I really doubt that this is due to Google having not crawled my website yet. The title it previously had was very different from this (several different words), and the title that currently shows up on the search is not even remotely similar to my old one. Hence the confusion. And I've already submitted it and a sitemap to the Google webmasters tool.

I don't have sh404SEF.               <?php if ($this->item->readmore_register) :             echo JText::_('Register to read more...');         elseif ($readmore = $this->item->params->get('readmore')) :             echo $readmore;         else :             echo JText::sprintf('Read more', $this->escape($this->item->title));              endif; ?>      Change this rule:               echo JText::sprintf('Read more', $this->escape($this->item->title));      To:               echo 'Read More';      Is also not corrent because it's not multilangual. Anyone knows the solution?


What is the optimal folder structure for a web directory?

I've been doing web development for years, and I've always done a web structure similar to this:               public_html/login.php     public_html/css/login.css     public_html/js/login.js     public_html/img/logo.png      I've seen other people use:               styles/login.css     images/logo.png      And then recently I found out that my co-worker likes:               public_html/a/login.js   - application     public_html/s/login.css  - styles     public_html/i/logo.png   - images     public_html/p/photo1.jpg - photos     public_html/f/menu.swf   - flash      Other than saving a byte or two, are there any advantages or disadvantages to any of these options? Is there a best practice for this concept?


PHP framework suggestions

I'm going to be creating a site for a business with the following:   * Single Item purchases with Paypal, Google Checkout and Amazon Checkout   * Digital Downloads for members from a CDN   * Forum   * Voting on different items While that seems rather simple having to deal with the three different payment gateways is a big pain in the ass. Django has a great payment library which works for all three but I'm not able to find one for any of the PHP frameworks. Anyone have any suggestions? I'm posting here as suggested by someone at Stackoverflow.


I need this Font Picker for my project but I'm not able to get it working.

I am trying to create a "FontPicker" just like a normal "color picker". I have see many websites implementing "font picker" please check out http://mklogo.com for example, where the fonts are categorised and gives an option for an user to choose any of them from the list.... In mklogo they have used three files 'index.html' , 'FontPicker.JS' and 'fonts.html' Their Fontpicker.js contains               FontPicker_targetInput = null;     function FontPicker_writeDiv() {     document.writeln("

");     }          function FontPicker_show(anchorname) {     this.showPopup(anchorname);     }          function FontPicker_pickFont(font,win) {     win.close();     pickFont(font);     }          // A Default "pickFont" function to accept the font passed back from popup.     // User can over-ride this with their own function.       function pickFont(font) {     if (FontPicker_targetInput==null) {         alert("Target Input is null, which means you either didn't use   the 'select' function or you have no defined your own 'pickFont' function to handle the picked font!");         return;         }     FontPicker_targetInput.value = font;     }     // This function is the easiest way to popup the window, select a font, and     // have the value populate a form field, which is what most people want to do.     function FontPicker_select(inputobj,linkname) {     if (inputobj.type!="text" && inputobj.type!="hidden" &&      inputobj.type!="textarea") {          alert("fontpicker.select: Input object passed is not a valid      form input object");          window.FontPicker_targetInput=null;         return;         }     window.FontPicker_targetInput = inputobj;     this.show(linkname);     }          // This function runs when you move your mouse over a font block, if you     have a newer browser     function FontPicker_highlightColor(c) {     var thedoc = (arguments.length>1)?arguments[1]:window.document;     var d = thedoc.getElementById("fontPickerSelectedColor");     d.style.backgroundColor = c;     d = thedoc.getElementById("fontPickerSelectedColorValue");     d.innerHTML = c;     }          function FontPicker() {     var windowMode = false;     // Create a new PopupWindow object     if (arguments.length==0) {         var divname = "fontPickerDiv";         }     else if (arguments[0] == "window") {         var divname = '';         windowMode = true;         }     else {         var divname = arguments[0];         }          if (divname != "") {         var fp = new PopupWindow(divname);         }     else {         var fp = new PopupWindow();                fp.windowProperties="toolbar=no,location=no,status=no,menubar=no,scrollbars,resizable,alwaysRaised,dependent,titlebar=no";         //fp.setSize(500,500);         }          // Object variables     fp.currentValue = "#FFFFFF";          // Method Mappings     fp.writeDiv = FontPicker_writeDiv;     fp.highlightColor = FontPicker_highlightColor;     fp.show = FontPicker_show;     fp.select = FontPicker_select;          fp.setUrl("/fonts.html");     fp.offsetY = 25;     fp.autoHide();     return fp;     }      Their Index.html Contains                         <title>mklogo - imagemagick logo generator and composite tool</title>     <link rel="stylesheet" href="http://mklogo.com/style.css" type="text/css">     <META NAME="Description" CONTENT="Converts text to an image, allowing font  selection, effects, color, rotation, etc.">

     <input type=submit name=go value="Generate Image" style="display:inline;">
          </form>
                     and their fonts.html contains                      <title>mklogo - select font</title>      <link rel="stylesheet" href="/style.css" type="text/css">
<form method=get action="/fonts.html"  style="display:inline"><input type=submit name=cat value="Favorites"></form>

<form method=get action="/fonts.html" style="display:inline"><input type=submit name=cat value="Uncategorized"></form>
                        I also mailed the admin of mklogo to ask him how can we use the font picker which is very important for my project. He replied back saying that "He Can Not Teach That,and he is busy running his business and not to mail him again"

1Gb Video in high res: How to be downloaded in reasonable time into each user’s screen?

I have this 1 GB video in high resolution that I’ve uploaded to my Amazon S3 account in order to play it in my site. The video is an online class with the professor in video, talking and some text displayed into the screen. I want to use our own site to play the video, but I’m afraid that it is so big, it will take forever to load into each student computer. Is there a way to solve this? If I lower the resolution, the text inside the video won’t get even read!


Is charging for a free domain transfer justified?

A client of ours is trying to transfer a .co.uk domain name away from her current web company. They are trying to charge her upwards of £100 for the transfer. I know that transfers of a .co.uk domain are free, so they have no costs to recover on their side by making the transfer. (or only £10.00+VAT for Nominet Transfers) Is this justified? Are they allowed to charge?   She's satisfied all accounts on their end, so they're not witholding in lieu of payment for services. FYI. In a whois lookup, my client's name is the under the registrant name heading, but with their company address under the registrant address section.


Test two different web hosts for speed, latency, etc

My site is currently hosted on an LA server. My target audience is Beijing, so I am moving to a server in Hong Kong (close enough without having to register with the gov't). I want to run some tests before and after on my site while its on the LA server and then when its on the Hong Kong server from Beijing. I am currently in Beijing, so that shouldn't be a problem. What I would like to know: what is a set of tests to measure website performance that I can run before and after, and how do I do them? I don't want to just decide anecdotally on whether it is indeed faster. I can run the tests at any time, maybe at different intervals, at different times during the day. Basically, I am just looking for an informed way to make a decision about performance -- whether it has increased, decreased or stayed the same after the move.


Domains with no name servers?

I have a few ccTLDs (.my) domains and I've just realised that there is no name servers for them at all. I wonder how that is even possible? Did the vendor whom I bought the domains from do something nasty?   I normally assume that once I buy a domain, there would be at least name servers (without any additional charges) available. Having no name servers also means the the domains are not parked with the registrar or the registrar cannot make money from them (big registrars such as GoDaddy makes loads of money from parked domains, don't you agree with me?) so this is really suspicous


Can adverts on your site actually help SEO?

My current understanding of SEO is this: One of the ways Google determines a webpage's quality is by how many people click back onto the SERPs. For example, if loads of people click onto your blog after searching "inception explained" and 0% of them click back, then Google will be more likely to rank your page highly. So this got me thinking: should you optimise your website for "abducting" visitors? By that I mean, do "Related Posts" tabs work well because they draw people away from the thing they were searching for and make them less likely to click back out of your website? And if so, would adverts not also have the same effect?


How to find out what # you are for google keyword

I'm trying to find out if there's a way to form a Google query to quickly find out what position you are for a search term. I know that Google Webmaster Tools and Google Analytics has something similar but I don't find it accurate.


How to void JavaScript on submission?

My friend is kind of web-developer, beginner. I noticed that he didn't purify his user input on form submission, so I could easily save to his DB working `<script>alert();</script>`. After some nice trolling with JavaScript, he changed his code to swap any `<` character to `s`. So for example writing `<script>alert();</script>` would save to DB as `sscript>alert();s/script>`. As being friend, I want to show that this is not the solution, and here goes the question - Is it possible to void JavaScript, when this kind of "security" is used?


laggy web page with jquery and images

I have a slow down problem with my single page website: basically it uses a LOT of memory (around 120MB) and, when scrolling, it can easily reach 40-90% of CPU usage! I am wondering what the problem might be so I will try to explain what resources I am using.   * 50 20kb sized images (stretched to around 200x200px)   * medium jQuery usage (some effects, a lot of AJAX)   * jQuery isotope plugin   * using hash change events to have sort of PiP (page in page) effects - like open a profile or a comment view -   * around 20 jQuery event listeners   * saving to localStorage every 10 seconds Could this even be enough to slow it down that much, especially when scrolling? I am pretty sure there are much heavier pages like facebook, g docs, etc. I have absolutely no problem with safari (I am on mac) but chrome gets really laggy. I cannot seem to find a profiler that can help me isolate the problem. I have also removed all the effets regarding box-shadow or transparencies. Any help? Thanks in advance.


How does Google crawler find pages?

Will Google crawler find a page that is not linked to? I.e. pages accessible by manually modifying the url, like `http://www.site.com/node/1/[secret keyword]`. Note that it is only secret in that there are no links to it; this "secret" path should't hold sensitive information.


“C# grid control”: how to encode this in URL from SEO perspective?

We are developing a WinForms grid control, and selling it thru our website worldwide. At the current stage of SEO works, we found that there are many popular search phrases with the "c#" word we can use ("c# grid control", etc). But the sharp char (#) can't be encoded in URLs "as is" to have the maximal SEO effect for Google search. Here are possible choices to encode "c#":   1. "csharp".   2. "c sharp".   3. "c%23" (using hexadecimal codes).   4. No use of "#", so "c# grid" will look like "c-grid" in URL. So the question is: what is the best way to reflect "c#" in URLs from SEO perspective? Are there more alternatives?


No Obvious Answer - Query-Strings and Javascript

Say I have this main page `/my-site/all-my-bath-soaps` which lists all my products. It has a search filter text box that uses javascript to filter the products they want to see on that page (the URL doesn't change as they filter). Now from many other parts of the site I want to navigate to this products-page and see specific products. E.g.               <a href="/my-site/all-my-bath-soaps?filter='Nivea-Soap'">      will go to `/all-my-bath-soaps` and apply javascript filtering to see just that product and hide all dom nodes for the other products. The problem is if the user changes the text in the filter from 'Nivea-Soap' to 'Lynx' the javascript will work fine and show the new products but the URL stays at `?filter='Nivea-Soap'`. Is there anything I can do about this? Of course, I don't want to reload the page with a new query string every time they change the search criteria. Somehow it'd be great to move the ?filter=... criteria into POST data instead - but how can I do this with a link I don't know...


How useful is Facebook Connect Login?

I'm starting to see some Websites offer the option to login via Facebook. I'm curious how useful it is a feature. For example, when someone logs in, does her friend knows on Facebook that she logged in? What if there are more fields that I require than Facebook stores? Which one would you use from the list of 13 controls?   * http://vatlab.com/facebook-asp-net-libs/facebook-connect-asp-net It would save me a lot of time to buy the app from them. But I wonder if there is anything else I'm missing out (like a free version elsewhere). My goal is to make registration/sign up quick and painless so they go through the motion while spreading the word. At the end of the process, the user will receive something (i.e. free e-book). So it seems that there are 2 points where Facebook can help and perhaps make their friends take notice. Facebook Connect and Facebook invite friends.


DNS Hosting with Purchased Domain Name

I have just purchased a domain name, however now I realise dns hosting was not free and I have to pay extra to set an MX, CNAME or A record. Do I have to do this with the same company I registered my domain with or can I do this with someone who offers this service at a lower cost?

Best Ways to Develop "Chicken and Egg Content" sites?

By 'chicken and egg content' I'm referring to user-contributed/crowdsourced content - sites like StackOverflow / StackExchange. When SO launched, Jeff and Joel were essentially able to 'cheat' the system by bringing in a massive ready-made audience from their respective blogs, but this isn't really an option for most people. Reddit.com launched, from what I can tell, via a combination of sources: * They were among the first batch of YCombinator startups * Alexis and Steve ghost-contributed a lot of content to get the ball rolling * There was a bit of controversy when they switched from Lisp to Python for their backend, and this attracted fans of both languages/environments. Now, when reddit launched, it wasn't completely like it is today. At first, reddit didn't have comments, it was just a bunch of links to various sites - essentially, a user-driven portal. I have a similar concept in mind, and I _could_ bootstrap the site with ghosted contributions, but it would only take me so far. The real value of the site, much like S[OFUE], comes from user contributed value-add content, and I could never generate enough of such meaningful content to help in any meaningful way. I've considered sending emails to relevant bloggers and posting on forums asking for their input / minor contribution, but this feels pretty disingenuous to me, since for the most part I don't follow these people regularly, and likely don't spend much time on any of these forums. Long story short - what are some great ways to promote a site (and for free, since I'm quite broke...), and entice experts to contribute early content?


Allowing users to post without logging in

On Stackoverflow/Stackexchange, users are allowed to add posts without requiring login, just wondering what should be considered before allowing this kind behavior on a site? Couple of things spring to mind...   * Recording the users IP address   * Limiting number of anonymous posts from a single IP Are there any other things to consider?


SEO impact of links for javascript functionality

For example, jQuery tabs uses a link as each tab, that opens the tabbed content. Or often times developers will use a link as the anchor text for a hover tooltip, even though it doesn't actually link anywhere. Given that the functionality uses javascript, for the most part links aren't needed, however there the most apt markup to describe the purpose. '' Do links with href="#" effect seo? Should they be avoided? Or do links to the current page be helpful in any ways? Just to over explain, here's an example of the 2 ways to code it, this time using dhtml rather than javascript.               Anchor text  This will appear on hover      CSS:               .tooltip span{display:none;}     .tooltip:hover span{display:block;}      OR without a link
 Anchor text  This is my hover tooltip
      Same CSS Thanks for the help!


Redirecting previous domain subfolder links

I've recently bought a domain that was unregistered. After looking in Google webmaster tools, Google is trying to crawl random pages that don't exist. Turns out it did have a previous owner. The offending pages are in the style               mysite.com/catalog/?Brand=0&Model=102&ID=0      Although there doesn't seem to be any links on the web (who knows what the previous owner did) I want these to point to my homepage. I've tried redirecting using..               redirect 301 /catalog/ http://mysite.com/      but I end up with a redirect to my homepage with an URL in the address bar of...               mysite.com/?Brand=0&Model=102&ID=0      How do I get it to just redirect to my homepage and show URL mysite.com in the address bar with no gubbings on the end? I am on an Apache server with PHP 5 Thanks.


Cache control using WAMP

So I tried to allow cache by using               <meta http-equiv="Cache-control" content="public, max-age=31536000">      but I'm not pretty sure if the contents are being cached. Although I receive a 304 code in Firefox Network Monitor I get 0 cached responses in primed cache. I should be seeing something like this https://mdn.mozillademos.org/files/7409/nm-performance.png like I see in others sites and like explained https://developer.mozilla.org/en- US/docs/Tools/Network_Monitor. What I am doing wrong? Is this something I must activate in WAMP? Or I must improve something in the tag? I also tried:               header("cache-Control:public, max-age=31536000");     header("last-modified: Thu, 04 Sep 2014 03:30:00 GMT");      and               header("cache-Control:public");     header("last-modified: Thu, 04 Sep 2014 03:30:00 GMT");


Can I use only subdomains for my site contents?

I have a domain name `www.site.com`, here for SEO (main keyword) purpose, I would like to use `english.site.com`, is it have any negative impact on SEO? without having content on main domain. (i.e. there is no content on direct `www.site.com` or only just having link to `english.site.com`). I don't have experience in this case, any one can advice me? am I right or wrong?


OpenSTV Integration configuration on Windows IIS server

Although this involves a Drupal site, the question is more at the server level, I think. **BACKGROUND:** Site uses modules "Election" and "Election OpenSTV Integration, the latter one being involved in counting votes from the election. It must link to "OpenSTV" code, a set of apps which run in Python, which must also be installed on the server. **PROGRESS SO FAR:** The whole system was set up on a local Mac-based dev site, using the Mac version of Python and linking to the OpenSTV code on that computer. Election counting worked. **NEW ENVIRONMENT REQUIRED for Production Site:** The site was migrated (actually, re-created) on the Windows IIS server where it needs to reside. All needed modules were installed, a Windows version of Python was installed, and the OpenSTV code directories were installed. The one remaining step is that the "Elections OpenSTV Integration" module needs to be given a valid path to a file "runElection.py" which is within the same set of directories as used in the Mac environment. **THE PROBLEM:** A path must be provided in a config field for the OpenSTV Integration module. The path that worked in the Mac environment was:               /Users/myname/Documents/openstv-master/openstv/runElection.py      In the Windows IIS environment, after much trial and error we found a path syntax that saves and does not generate a "cannot be executed" error as we were getting in earlier attempts. That path is:               C:\Python34\python.exe C:\inetpub\wwwroot\naccas-elections\sites\all\libraries\openstv-master\openstv/runElection.py      We had assumed if it doesn't generate the "cannot be executed" error, there must not be any problem with either the path or permissions to execute. However when I am logged in with appropriate permissions and go to the site's OpenSTV tab (in a test election which has some votes recorded) and try to export results, what I get suggests it's not working. In the localized Mac dev site, I could choose to export HTML and would get a zipped folder of HTML files which displayed as expected. In this production version on the IIS server, the same export command does generate a .zip file – but attempts to unzip it generate another single file of the form "SandBox-Election-SNTV- HtmlReport.zip.cpgz" – so, appending ".cpgz" to the original export. What could be going wrong in this case? Is there any reason why the OpenSTV code (v. 1.7) wouldn't run in the Windows IIS server environment, even though a compatible Python version is installed? Is there an alternative to consider? To provide context: The image below shows the configuration field as presented by the OpenSTV Integration module; what's in the field is just a default: ![screenshot of OpenSTV Integration config dialogue](http://i.stack.imgur.com/N7WvS.png)


Companies that provide user information / targeting API?

Are there any companies that provide simple APIs to get user information or targeting data on website visitors? Essentially some anonymous version of the data used by advertising companies to target ads. This could be a vector of 20 real number or something more intuitive. I'd like to customize landing pages based on visitors' information, beyond what I can get from the request headers.


How to proceed now , development is done !

The project I was working/coding on from last couple of months is done from a development point of view. The project is a lightweight desktop video streaming application in Adobe Air. I also put up a website to publish it: `http://awesome.fm/client` I am less experience in marketing or spreading products. Can you guys just give me ideas on how to proceed from here? What I want to know is, how do real startup owners spread the product they make? Whatsoever, any opinion will be helpful.


URL rewrite - should I write a fake file suffix (.html) or something more realistic to the platform? (like .asp or .cfm)

First, I'd like to preface this question by stating that I insist upon publishing a file name suffix, but only on the outer most entity of our site, the detail pages. I do realize the suffix is not necessary, and as such, some people just don't use it in their URL rewrite rules. **Our basic logic is as follows:**   1. Top Level: h t t p://no-host-name.just-the-domain.tld/   2. Next Level Deeper, append a "directory" of: `/most-general-groups-of-entities/`   3. Next Level: `/additional-specificity-like-location/`   4. Next Level: `/more-specificity-making-a-smaller-group/` Each level is one click deeper, making all site content no more than four clicks deep -- good for getting spidered. ALSO -- and I like this "feature" -- you can actually remove the right-most piece of each rewritten "directory" and it will serve a page that is a list of links to all of the groups of data belonging to the classes depicted in the directories comprising the rewritten URL. The fourth click down results in a detail page, such as: name-of-entity.html **So the question: what should I write as a suffix to the file name?** It seems to be mis-leading to rewrite the URI having a suffix of html. I do believe the consensus suggests (still?) that .html is most favored. However, our technology platform, more accurately, would publish content using a page suffix such as .php or .asp. I do recognize there is a slight security benefit to masquerading the suffix that tells the world what your platform is. However, isn't it kind of black-hat-like to use a suffix of .html? Paranoia causes me to believe that Google may detect URL rewrite and potentially trigger the so-called over optimization penalty. Supporting use of the HTML suffix is the fact that we are, indeed, serving HTML content to a browser. It would make less sense to arbitrarily pick .pdf or .doc -- which sometimes scare away clicks when seen among search results. Also, to reiterate my earlier insistence that I prefer to use a suffix, it's because it completes our depiction of a logical hierarchy:   1. the site   2. rewrite directory one - the general silos of information   3. rewrite directory two - a folder containing more folders   4. rewrite directory three - the folder that has the documents   5. rewrite document name All directories end in a forward slash, and in contrast, documents, at least typically, have a suffix and do not have the trailing slash. I recognize there are certainly other dragons to slay in the course of a workday, but at the moment I am trying to finish up our URL rewrite, which makes this top of mind for me. **Can anyone cite examples to encourage or discourage the rewriting of a suffix of any particular type?** And, please, if you see errors in my logic or directory hierarchies, I want to hear what you have to say. Thank you.

Is it okay to make my affiliate links look like google adsense ads and place above or below them?

I have seen on a few websites/themes eg (http://www.adsensepress.com/maxctr- wordpress-theme) which put content above or below the adsense ads and make them look like the ads. Is that acceptable? I read the Adsense TOS and it doesn't say explicitly anywhere that it is not.


When changing hosting, how to see files served from the new server

domain example.com is running on a server A. Then I changed host to the server B. Now when I open URL example.com, I still see the files from host A. But I want the files from host B.


Proper password handling for login

I have read a lot about PHP login security recently, but many questions on Stack Overflow regarding security are outdated. I understand bcrypt is one of the best ways of hashing passwords today. However, for my site, I believe sha512 will do very well, at least to begin with. (I mean bcrypt is for bigger sites, sites that require high security, right?) I´m also wonder about salting. Is it necessary for every password to have its own unique salt? Should I have one field for the salt and one for the password in my database table? What would be a decent salt today? Should I join the username together with the password and add a random word/letter/special character combination to it?


Using the same .com and .net domain - SEO Impact?

I have a client who has the `.com` and `.net` of their domain. They would like each domain to have content targeted for a different application. Let me explain: domain-abc.com will contain the services that are paid and provided by the company. domain-abc.net will be the community portion of the site that contains forums and other topics. All content for the .net domain will be provided for free. My question is this: Is it better to keep everything on one domain (either .com or .net) vs splitting the site onto two domains for SEO reasons? Or does it has little impact on SEO as long as I don't duplicate content across both domains? Note: Both the .com and .net are identical names.


nofollow drop down select options

I have a select input on a search results page and each option's value is a URL to sort the search results. There's an onchange event on the select to refresh the page with the sort option. Google webmaster tools is showing that I have duplicate meta content because it's following the sort URL's. Is there a way to put a nofollow on those URL's, or does any one have any ideas on how to mask them from search bots? Example:               <select onchange="javascript:document.location = this.options[this.selectedIndex].value">     <option value="/All/All/Category/Length/feet/USD/1/boat_search.aspxltid=0&sort=length_high" >Length: High to Low</option>     </select>


Cannot change file permission via FTP: '500 - command not understood'

I have an old site that is in danger of being compromised as many of the directories and files have permissions set to 777. However, when I try to change them to 555 via FileZilla I get the error > 500 'SITE CHMOD 555 filename': command not understood Googling it only reveals issues relevant to connecting to the server, but I can do that, as well as up and downloading files. I'm not sure what this means exactly. Is it that my account doesn't have sufficient permissions to make these changes?


Proxy pass from apache to jetty using localhost

In my `/etc/apache2/sites-enabled file I have two proxy pass statements: one to a Virtuoso server which works with localhost and one to a jetty server on localhost which doesn't, because "Firefox can't establish a connection to the server at localhost:8983.". Only when I give it the absolute IP does it work. What is additionally strange is that while for all other proxy passes the apparent URL in the browser adress field does not change while in the case of jetty it switches over to the one given in the proxy pass statement. Why does localhost not work with jetty even if the two are on the same server?               ProxyPass /sparql http://localhost:8890/sparql     #    ProxyPass /solr http://localhost:8983/solr # does not work     #    ProxyPass /solr http://[IP 6 Adress]:8983/solr # does work      **Follow Up** I managed to preserve the URL with `ProxyPreserveHost On` in the sites-available file but with localhost it still doesn't work. I will check the hostname setting now. NMap also reports localhost as up:                nmap -p 8983 localhost     Starting Nmap 5.21 ( http://nmap.org ) at 2014-07-17 10:21 CEST     Nmap scan report for localhost (127.0.0.1)     Host is up (0.000079s latency).     PORT     STATE SERVICE     8983/tcp open  unknown      **Answer** As said by Thyamarkos, adding the host name in `/etc/jetty/jetty- rewrite.xml` did the trick. Thanks!               <Set name="virtualHosts">        <Array type="java.lang.String">         <Item>localhost</Item>         <Item>127.0.0.1</Item>        </Array>     </Set>


Should I, and how do I incorporate microdata into my asp.net website with 47 pages?

I have an asp.net (vb) with 47 pages. The problem is that it's in 10 different languages, although 98% just use English. I have 5 master pages. I've read Google Webmaster Tools, but I'm still confounded. I'm reading about how microdata is the way to go. Does this mean I should put **itemtype** and **itemprop** span and div tags in my master pages, or should I do all of my 47 pages (.resx resource files) separately? The main key phrase I want throughout search results is " **machine vision** ". For instance, the first couple sentences on my "about.aspx" page are:               USS Vision Inc. (USS) is a privately-owned company      with headquarters in Detroit, Michigan, USA. We      design, engineer, produce, and integrate special machine vision      error-proofing products and services that create lean factories by improving      the quality of manufactured products, and by significantly reducing manufacturing      costs through advanced automation.      Am I doing this right, or how would I do this if I'm not? Should I use the **itemprop="url"** or other **rich snippets** for every link in my website? I mean, do I need to add an itemprop to just about everything, or can I just alter my master pages? Any guidance in this regard to help improve my SEO and SERPS would be greatly appreciated!


Difference between linking to specific page or folder

Is there a difference between linking to www.example.com/site/index.html and www.example.com/site/ since it'll point to the same page? I point everything i can to a folder on my website, i just think it looks better when the browser doesn't display the name of the file. Is this wrong, right, good or bad?


private whois but still list email-address?

I tried Googling it, but I couldn't find an answer. I would like private whois, meaning I wouldn't want to display my home address etc. However, I still would want to list email-address.


What is the simplest way to accept recurring donations? (except paypal)

I'd like to put up a donation system for a nonprofit(outside US, central europe, no paypal/google checkout benefits apply) without too much coding/integration and with a checkout process as simple as possible from the user's POV. Paypal is not an option, since for recurring donations it requires registration and the paygate is only in major languages. What is the simplest/most efficient method to do this?


Should I get an SGC enabled SSL certificate?

I'm in the market for a new SSL certificate and am wondering if I should get an SGC enabled certificate or not? In the past I have just used cheap SSL certificates but since this is for a new company website I want to make sure I have the best but I am unsure whether it is worth paying the extra. The documentation states that it just enables older browsers to use 128 bit encryption when they would normally only be able to use 40 or 56 bit encryption. Would you pay the extra for older browsers which are likely to be extremely rare?


How can I repoint my domain? DNS/MX etc

I've searched the questions here, but have found nothing that gives me the assurance I require. My situation:   * I have a domain registered with Network Solutions, linked to hosting on NetSol    * I have hosting at GoDaddy   * I wish to have the domain registered with NetSol point to the hosting at GoDaddy   * I also have an external mailserver that must be pointed at to handle all mail requests (MX?) My question is how to I go about executing the above? Do I go into my Network Solutions account and change the DNS settings for the domain in question, changing the NS addresses to GoDaddy, and the MX addresses to my mail server? If this is correct, how would I then set the folder on GoDaddy that the domain points to, do I do this via my GoDaddy account? Apologies if this has already been answered elsewhere, I just require absolute clarity as this is for a fairly sensitive website change- and apologies for my ignorance on the matter!


Best Modifier Key Combination for Web Shortcuts

Many users of my website asked for keyboard shortcuts to access commonly viewed pages. I know that links may have `accesskey` but to access them is inconsistent across browsers. I'm going to use JavaScript to detect shortcut and I would like your input on what the modifier key(s) should be. I'm leaning toward `Ctrl`+`Shift`.

Tracking an iframed page hosted on another domain with Google Analytics

I've followed Google's instructions on tracking iframed content on another domain (http://code.google.com/apis/analytics/docs/tracking/gaTrackingSite.html#trackingIFrames) as best I can, yet there is still no data showing up in Analytics for the iframed page. Parent page (http://www.blackangus.com/primeclub/):               <script type="text/javascript">         var _gaq = _gaq || [];         _gaq.push(['_setAccount', 'UA-xxxxxxx-xx']);         _gaq.push(['_setDomainName', 'blackangus.com']);         _gaq.push(['_setAllowLinker', true]);          _gaq.push(['_trackPageview']);              (function() {             var ga = document.createElement('script'); ga.type = 'text/javascript'; ga.async = true;             ga.src = ('https:' == document.location.protocol ?

Why won't the iframed page show up in Analytics?


How long before legacy 302s are recognised as 301s?

We have some legacy 302 redirects in place on our site that should have _always_ been 301s. We've now changed the redirects to 301s but various SEO tools (and presumably Google) still see the 302 redirect rather than the 301. My question is, how long do 302s normally get cached for (if there is a 'normally' in this situation)? And is there anything we can do to speed up the process of recognising the change to 301s?


Domain Name Not resolving with webhost nameservers and without www

Searched all over and tried playing with httpd.conf , nothing works. The domain name can be resolved with www.domain.com but without www its does not resolve. Advice for A Records does not work. I have a domain from Registrar otwohosting.net there panel is like publicdomainregistry.com and have options for nameservers. I have pointed nameservers, but with mx toolbox, only www.domain.com looks up and fails for non www What is the probable cause ? Here is snippet from httpd.conf               <VirtualHost *:80>     ServerAdmin webmaster@example.com     DocumentRoot /var/www/html/mydomain.com/     ServerName www.mydomain.com     ServerAlias mydomain.com     RewriteEngine On     RewriteRule ^/(.*) http://mydomain.com/$1 [L,R=301]     ErrorLog logs/dummy-host.example.com-error_log     CustomLog logs/dummy-host.example.com-access_log common     </VirtualHost>      Its centos dedicated server, with firewall and yes port 80 is opened for tcp and udp both. Additionally any change in document root explictly for www.domain.com also dont work. As default doc root is `/var/www/html/` but i do want it to resolve it to `/var/www/html/mydomain.com/` directory . Please help thanks **EDIT** Here is the link for my dns report [Link Removed] It gives strange result saying it can fetch dns records but cant resolve domain.. i am laughing and tearing down my head at same time   **Edit2**   Following the below answer here is the update:   1) I do have 3 Nameserver received from my web hosting company . Although i have unmanaged dedicated server, but nameservers are not ns1.mydomain .. they are like `ns1.mywebhost.com`,`ns2.mywebhost.com` and have been feeded At Registrar panel   2) created CNAME Record for `Host:www` , `Value:mydomain.com` - didnt worked   3) I do have a dedicated IP Available which i should use for creating A record - Did not worked   4) After performing these actions , domain is still not resolving. Even with www also it failed, which was working earlier.    I'm running in a big trouble UPDATE 3: Finally the solution by closetnoc worked. I used domain Registrars' Nameservers, with an Additional A Record and CNAME record to my Dedicated IP and domain name respectively. Although the DNS propagation is very slow with my registrar (otwowebhosting.net a reseller of PDR ) , and i will plan to switch to dedicated DNS hosting service soon. Thanks


What can you do to speed up IIS 7 web sites?

Turn on compression and you'll see immediate performance improvements, likewise if you enable caching for complex web apps. What other configuration options you can change to improve performance? do you have "performance checklist" of things to set when you get a new server? I'm asking about IIS 7 or later (because all my current servers are IIS7)


SSL Certificate is Untrusted... sometimes

Web Designer I'm working with signed up a new client that needed an SSL certificate. We went to namecheap.com and purchased on from Comodo. Got all the needed files and set it up in ISPConfig. To test we used Windows 7 running IE8, Firefox 3.6, and Chrome 12, and then on OSX with Firefox 4, Safari 5, and Chrome 13. All of them worked fine. The client is getting 'This connection is untrusted' in Firefox 4 and 5. Safari works fine on their machine. On my machines and the designer's machines all works with no errors. I had the client forward me the info for the certificate that Firefox has and the fingerprints match up. I have an old Windows 2000 VM with IE6 and Chrome and those work just fine as well. Any ideas on what else to check or do? The server is running Debian 5.0, up-to-date, with Apache 2 and ISPConfig 3.3


What is the impact to Google rank when I transfer a domain?

Having multiple domains on a single hosting server

Heads up: both domains are registered at GoDaddy and the shared hosting server is also at GoDaddy. I currently have a website at `www.somesite.com`. I also have another domain name `www.mynewsite.com` that I want to have, but don't want to purchase a new hosting plan as I have plenty of space and bandwidth available on the one I currently run for `www.somesite.com`. Is there a way to use BOTH domains on the same hosting account and have a separate sites run from them, as if they are both totally separate sites? I was thinking since `http://123.123.123.123/` is mapped to `www.somesite.com` that they would allow me to map my new domain to some folder, like `http://123.123.123.123/newsite/` to accomplish this, but can't seem to find the right options in GoDaddy to do it. Any help or correction on terminology to better Google this would be great.


Pass IMG SRC via GET and echo it? Is that really secure?

I was wondering how I can make a really simple GET and echo request more secure The code:               $src = $_GET['src'];      echo "<img src='$src' />";      Basically, I have a URL like example.com/link.php?src=imgname.jpg Theoretically, I think it's possible to exploit it by inserting external URL's and trying to get them parsed on the site. Would you recommend doing a preg_match to only allow images and remove URLS?


Can't browse to folders of my website

Basically, I have a few subfolders that I would like to access and I can't seem to access them unless their is a `index.php/html` is located in that file. How do I enable it so that I can access any file within the folder without their being a index page? I am hosting at GoDaddy, if that makes any difference (and it is a Linux server).


How can I archive (for historical record) my website?

If I launch a website that displays 1000's of pages of content (text) delivered dynamically from data in a database and and I want some sort of record to prove that this data had been published (on that date), that I can use in the future, what are the options? I have seen a commercial web archiving service that is charging $15 per page (!). I understand that you can run software yourself on the server but i am unsure how this works with dynamically generated pages. Is backing up the database (with some type of timestamping and securing) enough? Would you then have to prove that your app was up and running and the website available as well? What are the alternatives?


DNS slows down on development environment

I have a local development environment setup on my Mac. I am running an Ubuntu Web Server inside of a Virtual Box VM. I setup a host file on my Mac that points my dev site to the IP of the Ubuntu Virtual Server. Everything works good other than the fact a lot (not all) of the time it takes more than 5 seconds to load a page. I used firebug to track down where the problem is and when it's slow the DNS part of my request is taking over 5 seconds. Like I said it's not all the time. Sometimes it resolves and loads the page within milliseconds. The same page one click will be super fast and then the next time it takes over 5 seconds. It's really slowing me down and I am not sure what is causing it.


How do I display content from another website that requires the user being logged in?

Say I have a website that requires a login, hosted somewhere remote. I would like to make a portal that shows this remote site but should always be logged in with the same user name and password on this remote site. If possible the portal should ask for a username and password and then use an iframe ( or something similar now that they are being phased out) to display this remote site where you shoudl be logged in. I would like to know if there is a web-ap for something like this, if not whether this would be possible to create. I do have access to a VPS running centos 64bit and a managed host.
