Some website pages not indexed by Google although followed the recommended steps

I have built a website (www.shareall.nl) in wordpress and did some SEO (metadescriptions, headings, links, alt text, microdata, sitemap, robots.txt, etc) using Yoast Wordpress SEO plugin. I did not squeezed everything out of it but the site ranks pretty well in Google on important keywords regarding Prezi (top 5). The problem however is, that there is a set of pages that are not being indexed and these pages are relevant to my customer? One of the pages is http://www.shareall.nl/prezi-trainingen/prezi-vervolgtraining (I cannot post more links due to my reputation on stackoverflow, but they are all about training). I know (as the moderator told me) that there is another question about this topic but I have followed all recommendations given there without success. I would like to get more ideas of what to try and hope someone can help me with this. This is what I have done so far or are some facts about the site which might be relevant: * submitted sitemap and saw most of the pages being indexed * robot.txt is not preventing pages from being crawled * manually crawled pages using google's webmaster tools and submitted them afterwards * the website itself has multiple links from other pages towards the training pages * don't have noindex set for concerned pages * domain is not new and exists for numerous years now (since 2011) * the website **is** new and is launched this year (february 2014) * I have multiple links within the site pointing to the missing pages Again any help is greatly appreciated!


Major Indexing problem with my site

> **Possible Duplicate:**   >  I cannot see my website in google Hey guys I am having problem with indexing my site http://www.loosediamondschicago.com which is in wordpress hosted on godaddy. Its about two weeks but still no search engine indexing me. **Some Points Your Should Know:**   1. The site hosted in wordpress.   2. When the site was in development I turned off the search engine visibility from the wordpress dashboard. After turned it on I checked the meta tags and i have found no noindex. So, i guess that is not the issue.   3. To my previous experience with wordpress i know wordpress is smart enough to automatically remove the **www** in url but in this case its not.   4. I have sent sitemap via google webmaster tool about 4 days ago but still no indexing. However webmaster tool is showing error for using now **www** url in the sitemap while my urls are **www**. But I believe if i dont have sitemap still my site should be crawled right?   5. The domain client bought was use before by other people but expired couple of years ago then my client again registered it.   6. I have checked if the domain in blacklisted or not. I have found the result not blacklisted.   7. I have get couple of backlinks hoping that my site will get indexed but still no hope. I did not faced this kinds of problem before. So people please advice. I am now check godaddy to find out if any crawl errors. I will update the post when i have it. **Update** The site is up for one and half month but search engine allowed about 2-3 weeks. I blocked the search engine when the site was in development.


How can I make fonts render the same way across different web browsers?

I am building a website for a client, and we had hoped to use plain text, not images in the navigation bar. The font we are using is Century Gothic (I believe that this font is available on the majority of PCs and Macs) The problem is, that on different browsers the font renders significantly differnt. In Chrome we got it looking the way we want, but in firefox the text is smaller and bolder. Aside from writing browser specific javascript to alter the font properties, are there any other options to standardize the way the fonts are rendered cross-browser. Perhaps some library or API? Maybe its a matter of being more specific in declaring font properties? Honestly I am stuck and need help.


Is it possible to use canonical tag in Blogger posts?

I found one of my blog post was cached by Google (`www.example.com/post.html`). I found that comment page of the post was also cached (`www.example.com/post.html?showComment=1372054729698`). These two pages are showing in Google SERP when I checked cached posts of my blog. Is it possible to use canonical tag on the post `www.example.com/post.html?showComment=1372054729698` so that Google won't penalize my original post? Is there any other ways to redirect a blog post?

How to best redirect user to new site

I am planning the launch of a new site and trying to figure out the best way to redirect users from the old site. The old site (200+ pages) will be completely retired. I'm planning on moving the domain name to our new server, but the only page that will remain will be the index page. The site was built on a CMS that is not compatible with an Apache server. The new site has a completely different page hierarchy, page titles, and domain name. So, I'd like some guidance on the best techniques to do the following:   1. Anytime someone visits the old_domain_name.com, either from Google or other external links I'd like for them to be redirected to new_domain_name.com. i think this can be accompliched with a simple Javascript redirect from old_domain_name.com.   2. When someone tries to visit old_domain_name.com/about_us.htm I'd like for them to be redirected to new_domain_name.com/new_directory/about.htm. I'd need to do this for 200+ pages.  Any insight will be appreciated. Thanks!

.htaccess permanent redirect to www

I have a WordPress installation that is not redirecting URLs not starting with `www`.

Change of URL by changing folder's name in server

If I change the folder's name in which I have my web pages, from   examplefolder/   to: administrator/   so the file "viewtopic.php" that originally had URL:   www.example.com/examplefolder/viewtopic.php   it will have a new URL:   www.example.com/administrator/viewtopic.php/   Can I use the 301 redirect for such a case? or 301 redirect could be used only in the case that a new folder has been created (and not rename of the existing one)

Tracking multiple domains under subdomain

I need to setup a Google Analytics code for one website with multiple domains, but they are in form of               subdomain.**foo**.com     subdomain.**bar**.com      Subdomain is the same (it doesn't really matter that much), but main domains are differents. So now I use:               _gaq.push(['_setDomainName', 'subdomain.foo.com']);      and               _gaq.push(['_setDomainName', 'subdomain.bar.com']);      is this correct?


Multiple PHP 5.x version for different directory

Is this thing even possible because I searched every where but all I could find was this one post ? Using .htaccess or using `AddHandler`/`Action` MIME module Directive ? I have compiled all Apache, PHP 5.2 and PHP 5.3 on CentOS at path `/usr/local/apache`, `/usr/local/php52` and `/usr/local/php53`. I have the `libphp5.so` modules in my respective php folder by using symlink at `/usr/local/php` and `LoadModule` directive. I am able to switch PHP versions too but now I want that different directories to run with different PHP 5.x version. Is it possible ? I don't mind recompiling PHP too.


Buying a top level domain specific to my industry, will it improve my seo ratings?

Currently we run a few websites selling products in the travel industry using .com and .co.uk extensions. Would our search rating improve if we were to buy one of the .travel domains ? So we would replace, or more likely supplment the following               mycompany.com     myCompany.co.uk      with :               mycompany.travel       Bing and google rankings are, unsurprisingly, our main concerns.

How to restrict the download of all files in a folder?

I have several .pdb files, which should be viewed in my website by clicking a link on a page. But when a pdf file opens, in the address bar it is visible the directory where all .pdf files reside. SO if the user will write in address bar http://mySite.com/myDir he will see and be able to download all files at once. But I don't want! When I [chmod 644 myDir], the files become not visible even for my site - i.e. you can not open them by clicking the link I have mentioned. How to solve this problem?


How can I prevent people from looking at a listing of files in parent directory if I haven't uploaded index.html?

Does a lead-to screen with AdSense ad conform to Google's rules?

Re: Google's ad placement policy I have noticed that when clicking on some Forbes links, I am taken to a screen with an ad in the middle - at the top there is a link to skip the ad. Upon clicking on the skip link I am taken to the article I want to view. I want to implement something similar on my sites, where, when clicking on a search result, a the results window first displays one AdSense add on the screen with a similar UI as what I saw on Forbes. Currently, when a user clicks on a result, a new tab/window opens with the result. What I am proposing is that before the result appears, the screen displays a "Continue to result" link at the top in large letters, and in the center of the page, "Advertisement" with the ad below. This is the only popup that is user initiated and there are no other popups on the site. Navigation elements are not modified in any way. Will I get penalized by Google for implementing this?

Submitting sitemaps with 2 different websites but the same content

I have two domains running on the same server with the same IP (same content). For example: the sitemap of `example1.com` represents one website and `method1.com`, `method2.com` represent many pages will come. So can I use only one sitemap for both or make different sitemaps?               <urlset xmlns="http://www.sitemaps.org/schemas/sitemap/0.9" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.sitemaps.org/schemas/sitemap/0.9 http://www.sitemaps.org/schemas/sitemap/0.9/sitemap.xsd">         <url>             <loc>http://xyz.com/</loc>             <changefreq>monthly</changefreq>             <priority>1.00</priority>         </url>         <url>             <loc>http://abc.com</loc>             <changefreq>monthly</changefreq>             <priority>0.80</priority>         </url>      If I'm working on the second URL it's affecting the homepage also.

My email based support form on my shared host is being blocked by Gmail

On my site (developed with `ASP.NET`, if that matters) I have a support form, which is nothing more than three fields (i.e., name, email, and message) plus a Send button. The form code generates emails from provided user input and sends them to: `support@mysite.com`. The form uses this address to send the messages: `sender@mysite.com`. All the email for `mysite.com` is handled by Google Apps for Business. The problem is: Google recently started marking emails sent from `sender@mysite.com` as spam:               Delivery to the following recipient failed permanently:               support@mysite.com          Technical details of permanent failure:     Google tried to deliver your message, but it was rejected by the server for the recipient domain mysite.com by aspmx.l.google.com. [74.125.25.26].          The error that the other server returned was:     550-5.7.1 [ip-address-was-here       7] Our system has detected that this message is     550-5.7.1 likely unsolicited mail. To reduce the amount of spam sent to Gmail,     550-5.7.1 this message has been blocked. Please visit     550-5.7.1 http://support.google.com/mail/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=188131 for     550 5.7.1 more information. sz7si15854448pab.203 - gsmtp      Obviously, visitors on my site **can** put spam messages in my support form. Anyway, I would prefer that these messages to end up in my Spam folder (or better the Inbox!) of `support@mysite.com`. So, what can I do to prevent Google from blocking `sender@mysite.com`? Shall I use a 3rd-party service for the support form? Or shall I tweak my site / form code somehow? My site is on shared hosting if that matters.

How do I change pages registering as 404 to 200

I have this problem. After relaunching my site: http://www.kgstiles.com, traffic dropped immensely(about 60%). After troubleshooting for a week and a half - losing thousands of dollars off of lost traffic in the process, I found that Google was getting a 404 error at the end of many of my 301 redirects(so it wouldn't index the new pages). Most of of the pages, though, would register in my browser. They registered as a 404 error in Google's index as well as a 404checker. So my first question is: could this be what's causing my loss of traffic? and second: how do I fix it? I'm desperate!

Can drupal do this?

I am a php developer using mostly CakePHP, magento, and wordpress.

Would that be possible in drupal?


When designing a website, how do you usually start?

In the past I've done some HTML, CSS and PHP coding, but I've only ever worked on things that were already "finished" and I've never started a website from scratch. However, I recently purchased a domain and some hosting for cheap, and I'm hoping to improve my HTML, CSS, and Javascript skills so that I can become a bit more marketable as a web developer/webmaster. Typically, what process do you use to start a website? Do you draw the layout on paper and then do the code? Or do you just start coding and tweak the output to your liking?


Getting started with a website

So I know `HTML`, `CSS`, `Javascript`, `jQuery`, `PHP`. But I'm not sure how to put it all together to begin making an actual website. I'm not looking at something too big here since I'm just a beginner, but I need to start somewhere. More specific stuff:   1. In what ways do I carry on my layout for which page in my website, without having to do it again for each page? Not only layout, but also stuff like menus which have to be on every page.   2. Should I use software like `Drupal`, or should I start off alone and start worrying about that later?   3. Is there a place where I can read about all this stuff?


Facebook Promotion guidelines

Hi I want to build a Facebook `promotional/competition` page and just want to make 100% sure that I am within the laws governed by the Facebook Promotional Guidelines. Here is a link to the guidelines http://www.facebook.com/promotions_guidelines.php I want to build a video voting page on Facebook. Facebook users cannot enter the competition. They can however vote for their favourite video and on voting post a message to their wall. The video with the most votes will be declared the wining video. edited A random voter could also stand a chance on winning a prize. here is an extract from the guidelines that i am unclear about. ` 3\. You must not use Facebook features or functionality as a promotion’s registration or entry mechanism. For example, the act of liking a Page or checking in to a Place cannot automatically register or enter a promotion participant. This is pretty self explanatory. Thus we cannot ask someone to “like” or vote for their favourite video in order to enter or a stand a chance to win. We can ask them to do these things, but not as a condition to be part of the competition.`


Is there a way I can redirect search engine traffic by U.S. State or Zip Code?

I work for an e-commerce company that operates solely within the United States. However, the price of goods and availability of our products depends on what State or even Zip Code you reside in (we sell alcohol). I know that there are techniques for localized SEO on a national scale, but I was wondering if there is anyway we can do it on a Provence/State scale. I have been searching for an answer but everything seems to be on the international scale. For example, we would prefer it if Google/Bing/Yahoo knew the location of their visitors and could point them to: `oursite.com/?state=CA`      Or      `oursite.com/?state=TX`      Or      `oursite.com/store/product1?state=MA` Is there anyway to convey this information to the search engines with either canonical tags or another approach?

Are there any problems with pages from the same site using different doctypes?

After a re-design of some pages in our site, we have the new re-designed pages with doctype HTML5 and all the rest pages (that are not yet redesigned) with doctype XHTML 1.0 Transitional. Does that create any problem? (SEO or otherwise)? There is a similar question (Is it bad to have a mix of HTML 5 and XHTML pages within one website from SEO perspective?) but it only touches the SEO subject. I am wondering if any other kind of issue can arise from this situation.


Canonical URL for a home page and trailing slashes

My home page could be potentially linked as:               http://example.com     http://example.com/     http://example.com/?ref=1     http://example.com/index.html     http://example.com/index.html?ref=2          (the same page is served for all those URLs)      I am thinking about defining a canonical URL to make sure Google doesn't consider those urls to be different pages:               <link rel="canonical" href="/" /> (relative)     <link rel="canonical" href="http://example.com/" /> (trailing slash)     <link rel="canonical" href="http://example.com" /> (no trailing slash)      Which one should be used? I would just slap `/` but messing with canonical seems like a scary business so I wanted double check first. Is it a good idea at all for defining a canonical URL for a home page?


How can I monitor a website for malicious changes to the files

I had an occasion recently where our website was compromised - a link farm was added to a couple of the pages on one occasion, and on another occasion, a large and nasty aspx file was put on the server. I won't mention the host's name (Hostway), but I was pretty annoyed that someone was able to do this. No, it wasn't a leaky password - around 10 sites hosted by HW with consecutive IP addresses got trashed. Anyway. What I need is a utility or service (preferably free) that takes a snapshot of my websites contents, and then regularly monitors the files (size and datestamp) for unauthorized changes or additions, and alerts me. I've used web services that monitor one file for changes, but I'm looking for something a bit more aggressive.


Best SEO practices for mobile URLs: 301, rel=canonical, or something else?

I am developing a site with a mobile version and am trying to figure the appropriate way to manage the URLs for search engines. So far I've considered:   1. Having a separate mobile site (m.example.com) with rel="canonical" links to the regular site.   2. Putting both the mobile site and full site on one URL (example.com), and doing user agent sniffing.   3. Another opinion: > Spencer: "If you have a mobile site at a separate location or URL, you > should 301 redirect each and every mobile page to its corresponding page on > your main website. Employ user agent detection so that the mobile optimized > version is served up if someone's coming in from a hand-held. - > http://developer.practicalecommerce.com/articles/1722-Mobile-site- > Development-Best-Practices-for-SEO-Usability Both 2 and 3 make it hard for a user who wants to switch to the full site or mobile site manually, but I'm not sure 1 is the best alternative. What's the best way to write URLs for a mobile site?


How to deal with multiple step forms where one of the forms are not submitted

Say you have a submission process that requires two forms. The submission of the 2nd form triggers an email. What do you do if the second form isn't submitted? Say the user forgets or closes the window by accident. My only solution was to update the DB with a flag from the submission of the 1st form that identifies an email has not been sent. Submission of the 2nd form will trigger an event to send an email and update the DB with a flag that identifies an email has been sent. A cron job will run periodically to check for any flags for unsent emails, gather the information, and send an email. Is this the best way of dealing with the issue? Thanks. **Edit: Clarity** Form 1 User submits general data Message 1 User presented with a choice. User needs to choose to "pass" or "accept". If the user submits the "accept" form (Form 2), an email is sent. If the user submits the "pass" form (Form 2), they are presented with another message with another choice (Form 3). If the user does nothing, the last choice provided is their default choice, but at this point an email still needs to sent. I hope that's more clear.


Allowing temporary access to cpanel for freelancer

I'm currently using a2hosting's cpanel on a shared hosting account. I'd like to temporarly give access to a freelance developper so he can upload some php files, csv files and create tables in my database. Does anyone know how I can do that? I'd like to be able to revoke their access after a few weeks. Thanks for your time.


Multi site wordpress setup

Currently my company has 3 blogs and what I did was to install three instances of wordpress over Apache/MySQL, in different directories. The problem is that I have a Slicehost VPS with 256Mb RAM with Ubuntu8.04 and MySQL is crashing Linux or making it very slow and unresponsive. Is there some kind of optimal setup for this scenario? I know that my server is too _cheap_ but I'm not sure either if an upgrade to 512 will fix things. I'm thinking about migrating to nginx, but what about MySQL? Is there any solution to this? Is this the right site to post this question or is it `serverfault`? Thanks


How to protect PDF file from indexing?

I have a link to PDF document on a public web-page. How do I prevent search engines from indexing this link and PDF document? The only idea I thought of is to use CAPTCHA. However, I wonder if there are any magic words that tell a search engine to not index the link and PDF document? Options using PHP or JavaScript are also fine. Just to make it clear. I do not want to encrypt PDF and protect it with password. I just want to make it invisible for search engines, but not for users.

Google not crawling my website

I own a website http://citrusbug.com. We did not have proper content before so to prevent search engine from crawling our site we added a _robots.txt_ with code to prevent crawling. Now we had updated our sites content and want to get it crawled, but Google is not crawling it yet. We removed the code from _robots.txt_ to prevent Googlebot to crawl, but still it is not getting crawled. We almost did this change before 20-21 days but still Google is not crawling our site and if search I search on Google it displays: > A description for this result is not available because of this site's > robots.txt – learn more. Kindly guide me, what I need to do for this?


How do i Seperate WebHosting Space and Email Hosting Space

I have a VPS account from knownhost. I have clients who have their website hosting on my server. Some have subscribed 50MB, 100MB, 500MB or 1 GB as per their requirement. They are also allowed to create email address in their accounts but the email address's capacity will be shared with web site's space. Now I would like to separate that web hosting space and email account's space. So What is it called and from where can i start?


Google Custom Search can't find anything other than the main page

I added a Google Custom Search to my website several weeks ago, and it has been unable to find anything other than the home page of my site. I have manually submitted a sitemap to the custom search, and to the webmaster tools (which for some the custom search can't find, but it says I should add one). I understand there are not a lot of details here, but I don't have much to go on. I've double checked my robots.txt, there's nothing there that's preventing the indexing of my pages. EDIT: Actually, does the google custom search work any differently than a regular google search? I assumed that it indexed separate from the regular google search, but I guess it's possible that both a google custom search and the normal google search draw from the same pool of pages. In that case the only way to get custom search to find my pages is to get Google to crawl them...which pretty much makes the custom search useless if it can't find the most recent things I've posted.

Does including keywords in the image's _folder_ path of any importance at all for SEO ? (Keywords for the image's _filename_ are important.) / **foobar** /images/keyword.jpg vs / **keyword** /images/keyword.jpg


How does Google find a domain with no links to it?

I recently registered a new domain, pointed it to my existing server, and set up a minimal page just saying "test" and nothing else. I just discovered tonight that the page is already indexed in Google! There are no links to the site (I haven't even told anyone about the domain since I haven't done anything with it yet). Is Google trawling WHOIS records or something?


Is it possible for Google to discover a website that is not linked to anywhere?

My colleague claims that he has seen cases where websites were "discovered" by Google without having a link to them anywhere on the web. For him, this means that the only way to not being indexed (for example when a website being developed is already online, but not ready to be used by customers yet) is to restrict the access to the files on the server with a password. How can Google find a website without following links? If for some reason the site is discovered, isn't robots.txt and a global `<meta name="robots" content="noindex">` (on every page) enough?


Does changing web hosting server affects SEO page ranking?

I have been hosting in a server from last 2 years. I am planning to change the hosting server. Before i change the hosting server i would like to know whether it affects my page ranking or not?


Transferred hosting and website not online during transition for 2 weeks - will this affect search results?

If a website's hosting is being transferred and is not online in between for approx. 14 days - would this affect the organic search positions when it's finally transferred? When they've since disappeared entirely from the search results? NOT A DUPLICATE.


Will changing server location affect SEO?

I have a .com website hosted in the US. Most of my traffic comes from there, but I found better prices and service in a webhost with a server in another country. Will it matter if I make the switch, given that I have an international audience but traffic mostly coming from the US?


Forwarding non-www domain to other domain using DNS

Is it possible to forward `firstdomain.com` to `www.seconddomain.com` or `seconddomain.com` using purely DNS records? I know how to forward `www.firstdomain.com` to `seconddomain.com` (using a CNAME). What I am trying to do is move my site from one domain to another (new) one, and not break all the links that use the old domain name. I can't do a 301 redirect as it's hosted on GitHub Pages and I don't have access to the web server.


How does 2 domains on dedicated IP's sharing the same backend affect the ranking?

I have two Domains, both with dedicated IP's, with a service acting location based. The two domain-names have simple to remember name-pattern going like `##servicedescription##france.com` and `##servicedescription##germany.com` with the main keyword at the first position in the domain-names. Now, I could easily copy the CMS and servicesoftware on each hosting plan but I want the system to stay maintainable. Thus, I want both domains share the same backend with slightly different content. Both websites are displayed in english as the default language. Does this in any way affect the ranking and how can I optimize this constellation?


Fetch as google - getting both 301 and 404

I am getting this from fetch as Google:               HTTP/1.1 301 Moved     Server: nginx     Date: Wed, 22 Jan 2014 23:07:58 GMT     Content-Type: text/html; charset=utf-8     Content-Length: 20     Connection: keep-alive     Status: 404 Not Found     Location: http://www.peciatky.sk/page-not-found     Vary: User-Agent,Accept-Encoding     Content-Encoding: gzip     Set-Cookie: 8812c36aa5ae336c2a77bf63211d899a=Bbvc3w0i7riSZmjnod4ylyvTAnxn7DCLHYhXe92zKrRSDQqNDueWOsutRqv%2FallRQe4HFrGbnpiOTy4Cy%2Beglw%3D%3D000060; expires=Tue, 11-Feb-2014 23:07:58 GMT; path=/; domain=peciatky.sk; httponly     Set-Cookie: 8812c36aa5ae336c2a77bf63211d899a=Bbvc3w0i7riSZmjnod4ylyvTAnxn7DCLHYhXe92zKrSIJvpKfQ%2BsH0cil9dtFLSB7mx6NcgFC89BWp3h8IqeSQhy%2Btt5JlIMFe0f%2BdCAhpI%3D000075; expires=Tue, 11-Feb-2014 23:07:58 GMT; path=/; domain=peciatky.sk; httponly      Which one is the main error that Google works with - the 301 or 404?


When entered into Google, what's the difference between "link:www.mysite.com" and "links:www.mysite.com"?

Tracking many subsites in Google Analytics

We have a website where visitors buy access to online courses. We'd like to have reports about visitors across the website/all online courses as well as reports of visitors on specific courses. The main website and the online courses all reside on the same domain with the courses being hosted in subfolders. The number of online courses already is around 50 and will grow, so having a dedicated view per online course is a bad idea because of the limit on the number of views per account. Would using page level custom variables identifying each page view to a course be enough to produce interesting reports? Is there a better strategy?


Google stating price is missing from product rich snippet, but it is present

I'm trying to figure out how to start adding rich snippets to products but I keep getting an error from Google stating: > In order to generate a preview with rich snippets, either price or review or > availability needs to be present. But I have price in there in a meta tag. I don't get what's wrong here:

<meta itemprop="category" content="flowers">                                               <meta itemprop="description" content="[A dozen red roses is as romantic as it is classic.]">

Having google index canonicals but users using parameters - correct?

I'm working on a site that has a search facility with multiple parameters that look up property listings. The possible parameters are: City, Area, Building Type, Min. Bedrooms, Max Rental Price, Page Number, Sort Order. The 'raw' url, without any rewriting would look something like this: **www.mysite.com/city=1 &area=1&type=1&bedrooms=3&price=1000&page=3&sort=1** While you're using my site, it doesn't matter to me or to you what the URL looks like, so I think I'm happy to work with the so called 'dirty' URL. It matters however, what Googlebot sees, so i'm planning to add a URL rewrite to allow access to pages like: **www.mysite.com/london/kensington/apartments** And then i'm planning to add canonicals to make sure that's the page that gets indexed - no matter what your bedroom / price preferences are, what page of results you're on or the order in which you want them to appear. The idea is that Google will only index fewer, higher quality 'view-all' pages, but users will be able to drill down and refine their results to get very specific. The question however is whether or not this is a correct use of the canonical and whether it will lead to the desired effect? **EDIT** It doesn't matter if google indexes 'dirty' URLs with parameters (though it should index the clean one when theres one available). What really matters is that the site gets found when people conduct a relevant search. Having it above competitor sites is the idea, if they didn't have an SEO strategy.

Do too many redirects hurt the SEO structure of Wordpress blog?

I have a website http://www.voiceable.org/ and just moved a category posts to the subdomain http://tech-fun.voiceable.org/ Now, i am using redirection plugin for 301 redirection from that category to sub domain. The category has more then 500 posts, is it safe to use these no of 301 redirection from SEO point of view or will it have any impact on search engine ranking?


> **Possible Duplicate:**   >  Adaptive websites - considered keyword stuffing by Googlebot? I work on a SEO-dependent content website, and we are in the process of making our site adaptive/responsive (what are adaptive websites?). More technically, we are using CSS media queries to apply different CSS styles as the size of the browser changes. As the browser size shrinks to 320x480 and below (mobile), we use CSS to hide much of the content on the page - up to 75% of it. My question is - would Googlebot consider this practice keyword stuffing? My worry is that Googlebot may think we are stuffing the page with keywords to make the page relevant, but then hiding the keywords with CSS.


Web hosted payment form service recommendation, for card processing

I'm accepting credit cards on my website, using PayPal's "hosted" solution (an IFRAME that collects the credit card information, PayPal calls this "PayFlow"). I chose PayPal because they were a brand I recognized. However, PayPal has been absolutely dreadful to deal with, accidentally deleting my account overnight and whole comedy of errors, bad service, and hidden fees; so I'm looking for a replacement. I will eventually be taking recurring payments. These are for simple website service subscriptions, so it will be a custom "shopping cart". I don't want to touch the credit card numbers, to limit my risk as much as possible. Can anyone else recommend a major player that they trust to do this, please? I don't see where Google Checkout offers a hosted form, but I could be wrong. And if this is a bad place for this question, would you please give me a bit of advice on where to take it? There is supposed to be a FAQ at http://stackoverflow.com/questions/982953/what-is-the-best-credit-card- processing-service , but it is gone. edit: Based on one of the answers, I should mention this is for North American (almost exclusively US) business.


Is it possible to track URL parameter and then value of cookie?

I have recently launched a site for a customer which we would like to track initial visits on URL's like so via Google Analytics and then track their revists on their respective referral code: User comes in on:   * `domain.com/?ref=code1`   * `domain.com/?ref=code2`   * `domain.com/?ref=code3` Once they land, we drop a cookie with the ref code and this determines what they see on revisiting the site. They are locked to this ref code unless they go through another affiliate website and come in on a new referral code. We would like to know which code they came in on, and then know which code is within the respective cookie? That data can then be drilled down into via filters or seperate profiles perhaps? I am not an SEO specialist, just a web developer trying to sort this out.


Canonical URL for paged results pages

If you use a canonical url meta tag on a paged result page, will Google still link to it when a keyword is found? I have a forum which has multiple pages for each topic. 10 posts per page. When I google for a topic title, I see that page but also a link to the last page, and since the button said "Last", Google actually adds that to the link, making it look really weird because they remove the original title, which is also the topic title. Anyway, should I put canonical URL meta tags on pages that have "/page/4/" behind the URL? And if people search for content that can be found on page 4, will Google still point them to the right page? To make it more abstract: Having multiple links in search engines results is silly, but they should still be crawled as the content is not duplicate.


Why are my posts omitted from Google search results when my site is listed in it?

My domain is not new at all, in fact I have waited for quite a long time now for Google to show some love. If I do a search for my domain name, it shows the website is listed, but if I try to search for even a year-old post on Google, using my website name too, it never returns it. Instead it says some results have been omitted and asks if those omitted results should be included in the search results. The following is the message it returns: > In order to show you the most relevant results, we have omitted some entries > very similar to the 8 already displayed. If you like, you can repeat the > search with the omitted results included. Why are my posts are never returned in search results even though I have original and ample content on my website?

Trying to add share button for blog articles

I have added share buttons to the articles on this page:               http://185.37.226.104/noticias      I have used the code generated here. As you can see there are multiple articles on the same page, I have done it like that because the articles will be not too long. So I have to use this structure. The problem: when I press "Like" on one article, nothing happens, any help?


How can I stop Googlebot can't access your site messages from a site that's moved to another developer

I had a client who moved their site a while back to another developer. When they moved it they took down the site and put up a coming soon page ( which is currently what's there). Googlebot warned me that it couldn't reach the site so I logged into My Webmaster tools and removed the site from it, but I continue to get messages saying it can't access the site. Is there some way I can communicate this scenario to Google. I really thought that removing it from my webmaster tools would have done the trick. I'd rather not put the google email address in my blacklist.


Time Update in HomePage Meta Description

every time I add a new post my blog homepage also shows the update time in Meta. Say whenever i type site:thetopblogger.com in Google search it shows update time in homepage Meta description - 1 hour ago, 4 hours ago, 15 hours ago, 3 days ago, 5 days ago which matches with the last post add/update. I check many blogs but no one is showing any time in homepage Meta. I do not want to show time in Homepage Meta description, as Google will think that I refresh/update my homepage meta frequently! Any idea how to solve this? Thank you.


HTML Code Editor - conditional find & replace

The Dreamweaver find and replace tool was very handy. (I no longer use Dreamweaver.) You could perform conditional search and replace on tags and/or tag attributes, which was very effective for cleaning up (atrociously) bad Word HTML code, for instance. Do you know of an alternative to the HTML find & replace tool found in Dreamweaver?


Debugging "Flex error #1001" in Google results

In the little summary extract which Google displays about pages from a site I administer, there's frequently a Flash error message: > ### Page Title > > www.example.com/.../Slug_of_the_page   >  Flex Error #1001: Digest mismatch with RSL > http://www.example.com/framework_3.2.0.3958.swf. Redeploy the matching RSL > or relink your application with the ... _I know people will want to tell me what the error message means and how to recompile, but there are plenty of instructions about that elsewhere, and that's not my question._ I see this happening in search summaries for pages on this site which I think don't _have_ any Flash objects in them - and certainly Firebug's Net tab doesn't show any. Google's cached version of the page doesn't include the error messages in the HTML or text-only versions. Trying things at random and waiting for Google to re-index is clearly not a sane strategy. Does anyone know a tool which reproduces as closely as possible Google's web page to text converter, or which in some way would allow me to reproduce the error message locally so that I can debug and test that I've fixed it?


Google Analytics: Exclude all non-event unique visitors

I have a dashboard on which I want two widgets:   * **Widget one** : A _statistics_ widget with the count of _unique visitors_ that did **not** fire _any event actions_.    * **Widget two** : A _statistics_ widget with the count of _unique visitors_ that did fire _specific event actions_.  Widget two was a piece of cake:   * Statistics: `Unique visitors`   * Filter: Only show `Event action`, with regular expression: `(action1|action2|action3)` But I can't seem to get widget one to work, I tried the same setip as two but as regex: `.+` and exclude instead of only show. This would seem to me like it would exclude all unique visitors with any event action? Instead it shows results in 0 visitors. **Edit** : Oh, and it is important that the widget actually exclude **any** event action, not just the action1, action2 and action3 from the other widget.


Confused by Fetch as Googlebot behaviour

I have a site that I 'm trying to index and I am a bit confused by what I should expect to see in the result of the `Fetch as Googlebot` tool. The site uses hashbangs, so according to Google it _should_ be crawlable by substituting hashbangs with `?_escaped_fragment_`. However, the results of the fetch don't show the actual content. Is this normal?

Can we import and display Facebook comments on our social media site?

I'm implementing a startup social media site where users post product reviews and other opinions. One of the features is a Facebook Share function. The business owners are interested in using the Facebook Graph API to track posts which users share on Facebook. They would like to "monitor" comments and other activity that occurs on Facebook for our posts that our users have shared. Technically, my understanding is that this is possible. Are we allowed to import these comments for display on our site? We are looking for options that would let us integrate or "redisplay" comment activity that occurred on Facebook but about a post on our site. Would this be problematic from a legal standpoint? We would rather stay away from official Facebook "comments plugins" and other such tools - and retain full control over the way that such comments are displayed on our site.


What is the difference between a Facebook Group and a Facebook Page

I created a Project Management Stack Exchange Facebook Page to help promote the new Project Management Stack Exchange Site. One of the users suggested a Facebook Group instead. I use Facebook, and I've searched the help pages, but it's not immediately clear to me what the advantages and disadvantages are. Can you provide a list of uses for Groups and uses for Facebook Pages and perhaps some links to resources that help differentiate one from the other?


Spam being sent from my domain

I have a suspicion that somebody is sending spam from my domain. Today I received an email from postmaster(`AT`)halliburton.com to htuwxjw(`AT`)example.com which said: > The following email was blocked because it contained an attached file type > that is prohibited by the Halliburton email gateway: > > Sender: htuwxjw(`AT`)example.com   >  Subject: ATTN: Important notification for a Visa / MasterCard holder! htuwxjw(`AT`)example.com does not exist. I have a catch-all email which receives any email sent to @example.com. Is there anything I can do to prevent this? I have this TXT record on example.com: (MX records are Google's)               v=spf1 a mx ?all      I'm worried that any emails I send will be blacklisted if this person keeps sending emails as if they're from my domain.

Is the only way to get your site known to pay someone to advertise your site? What are some other ways to get you site started up?


Problems with setting up email notifications in Redmine

I´ve installed a fresh Redmine 2.5.1 installation on a Ubuntu 12.04 server. Redmine is served by Apache (passenger). The Server can send emails by use of Postfix (tested with the _mail_ command from terminal). After reading the help document on Redmine's Email-Configuration, I´m confused where to put what though. My aim is to use the server's ability to send emails with Postfix and not to use an external SMTP like Gmail. Redmine is also giving me following error in email settings: ![enter image description here](http://i.stack.imgur.com/P3lSi.png) In `/etc/redmine/default` I have following files (no _configuration.yml_!):   * database.yml    * session.yml In `/usr/share/redmine` resides:   * additional_environment.rb.example    * environment.rb    * locales   * boot.rb    * environments    * routes.rb   * configuration.yml.example    * initializers    * settings.yml Questions:   1. Which directory is responsible for Redmine's config?    2. Which file is respnsible for email settings?    3. What configuration is needed to use the server's Postfix?


How can I block a user agent from all sites on my server?

For the last few days, I've been suffering from what appears to be a (presumably inadvertent) DDOS attack. I've been getting so many requests from an agent identifying as "Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; ICS)" that apache eats through all the available memory. Consequently, I'd like to block all requests accompanied by this user agent, so I tried doing this in httpd.conf:               SetEnvIfNoCase User-Agent "Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; ICS)" bad_user     Deny from env=bad_user      But when I restart apache it complains about using `deny` here. Without having to wrap it in a `location` or `directory` block, which would mean I'd have to add a new block for each site, is there any way I can deny access to the whole server? * * * UPDATE: The error I get >   * Restarting web server apache2   >  Syntax error on line 4 of /etc/apache2/httpd.conf: deny not allowed here > [fail] >


Redirect Everything After slash (/) to another directory

I'm sure this is an easy thing to do but I can't seem to find the answer! I'm trying to redirect `https://carddav.example.com/MYUSERNAME` to `https://carddav.example.com/remote.php/subdomain/addressbooks/MYUSERNAME/contacts` where MYUSERNAME can be anything. The current RewriteRule I have attempted looks like:               RewriteRule ^/(.*)$ https://carddav.example.com/remote.php/carddav/addressbooks/$1/contacts/ [R=301]


Can a mobile version of site be considered duplication by Google if the page is the same only the css is different?

Hearing about the problems with mobile browser detection I plan to add a button to my site which enables the users to switch manually between normal/mobile version of the site. The button sets a cookie and reloads the page and the PHP code on the server side seeing the cookie serves exactly the same page with only the CSS link pointing to the mobile stylesheet file. I heard Google is able to follow javascript code too, so it may "push" the button and sees the mobile version of the site. Wouldn't it confuse Google that it sees exactly the same page (same URL, same content) with only a the CSS link replaced? Wouldn't it consider it duplicate content?


Should I index my mobile duplicate of my desktop website on google?

> **Possible Duplicate:**   >  Can a mobile version of site be considered duplication by Google if the > page is the same only the css is different? I have a duplicate of http://he.thenamestork.com with the url http://he.thenamestork.com/mobile - all files are duplicated while the mobile version has a slightly different content. Notice that when I write 'mobile' I only mean regular HTML4 with smartphone friendly CSS. I have a series of redirects (using .htaccess) that allows smartphone users land directly on the mobile versions. But I wonder, shound I index the mobile version as well so those users will be able to get direct, faster links? And what is the proper way of doing that without causing problem in google search? I guess I'm asking if there's a way to get google display regular urls for desktop users and ../mobile/.. urls for smartphone users, and if it is smart SEOwise.


Best alternative to Adsense for a small website?

The accepted answer to this question states that Adsense functions rather poorly. What is the alternative then? My site has about 400 daily visitors, 1.5 pages/visit - so I'm too small to manually approach any sponsor for an personal ad deal. What AdSense would work best? By 'best' I mostly mean "make the most money", although usability is also a factor.


How will search engine find out if content of dynamic sites are changing?

I have site with few hundred blog posts and few thousand dynamic pages. If I create a sitemap.xml for dynamic pages , google does not crawl and index it. reason - they are not linked to each other and from other pages. The data on each dynamic page gets updated every few weeks. If I create link from home page and then link these pages from inner pages, search engine can crawl them. How will the search engine figure out if the content has changed after few weeks in absence of sitemap.xml for these dynamic pages?. I use sitemap.xml for blog content but not for dynamic pages.


Geographic location settings

I am building an website. It has an .nl domain. Now only my domain is showing up on google.nl I hope I can change this somehow that it could be findable in all google's (like google.com / co.uk) and so on. If I look on google forums. They say go to webmaster tools and change your geographic position over there. But I have added this site and I am not able to change it there because there is no select box. I dont have any idea were to search (yes I searched on google offcourse) or where to ask for this special problem. So maybe here can someone redirect me or explain me what is possible and what not. The question is can I make an .nl domain findable in (almost) all google search sites? And so on how can I do that. Picture of my google webmaster tools (nl): http://i.stack.imgur.com/ZuP4L.png


Are there other mailloop like software?

I used to use mailloop to do mass mailing and I am happy. Now it's no longer supported. What other program we can use to send mass mail? I also need autoresponder, series autoresponder (people sign up and get 5 email 1 day each). Any other thing like that? Basically I need software that:   1. Capture user's email and their first name   2. Send mail merge to those users   3. Support auto responder Should I just use mail chimp service?


One domain and multiple website in folders

I am going to create a network with one domain, e.g. `example.com` then going to manage my websites in **folders**. Look below for example:               www.example.com/market     www.example.com/freebies     www.example.com/personalblog     www.example.com/shop      Consider that all four websites have different design and codes. From SEO perspective, is it recommended or I should use **subdomains** or buy **four domains** for each website?


When I am root, "mysql" connects without a password, even though I've set one:               # mysqladmin -u root password 'whatever'     # mysql -u root -p     Enter password: (typing the 'whatever' above)     Welcome to the MySQL monitor.  Commands end with ; or \g.     Your MySQL connection id is 4 to server version: 4.1.22-standard          Type 'help;' or '\h' for help. Type '\c' to clear the buffer.          mysql> Bye      but unfortunately this also happens...               # mysql -u root      Welcome to the MySQL monitor.  Commands end with ; or \g.     Your MySQL connection id is 25 to server version: 4.1.22-standard          Type 'help;' or '\h' for help. Type '\c' to clear the buffer.          mysql>       So even though I've set the password, and it IS checked when I use "-p", it is however not necessary!?!?


Will not supporting IE or older browsers drive away potential visitors/users of my site?

Normally a SO browser but this question doesn't fit there, hopefully it fits here. I just want to ask from web designers' point of view if it's wrong to not care about supporting Internet Explorer or older browsers. The site I'm designing looks great in all browsers except IE9-. There are certain things that IE doesn't support or behave like other browsers; webkit stuff, some CSS styles, drop-and-drop files from OS etc etc, but it all works great in Safari, FireFox, Chrome etc. Should I be that concerned? I know there are several people that use IE, but it's limitations have just been causing me more work by having to come up with workarounds. From what I've read, many of the issues I've been having should be solved with IE10, but not everybody keeps up to date. I know of several people who are still using IE6! Again, I'm hoping this is the right place to ask a question like this, and if not, please point me to the right stack exchange site instead of just downvoting me. Thanks! EDIT: Upon further research.... So far this year, IE(all versions) and Chrome have been neck and neck as the top, with IE only squeaking by Chrome, and FireFox a close 3rd. But looking at the top 10 browsers, IE6 doesn't even show up on this list in which the lowest percentage is 1.92%. Source : http://www.w3counter.com/globalstats.php?year=2012&month=7 Having a look at this other site, IE6 shows up in 11th place out of 12, just before "Other" http://www.sitepoint.com/browser-trends-february-2012/ This makes me a little more wary of not spending more time on IE compatibility. However, my site will not be going to a live beta until October or November, and I'm hoping that IE10 will have more features coded into it. Currently, I've written my upload page which is a "drag-and-drop files from the OS" type to simply display "IE is not supported", leaving no other option for IE users to upload pictures because I've spent so much time writing the uploader which does many things other than just upload the files. I will be changing this kinda cold "Access Denied" to a suggestion to upgrade, or install other browsers, with download links for each. Big thanks for the posts here and the interesting links!


Google analytics shows wrong number of page views, asp.net website

Sometimes it can be for example 4500 requests, after a few hours it shows a few thousand less. What is wrong? It looks like analytics corrects itself. I changed from classic to Universal a few months ago, do not know if it has anything to do with this. In masterpage:               <script>                 (function (i, s, o, g, r, a, m) {                     i['GoogleAnalyticsObject'] = r; i[r] = i[r] || function () {                         (i[r].q = i[r].q || []).push(arguments)                     }, i[r].l = 1 * new Date(); a = s.createElement(o),                     m = s.getElementsByTagName(o)[0]; a.async = 1; a.src = g; m.parentNode.insertBefore(a, m)                 })(window, document, 'script', '//www.google-analytics.com/analytics.js', 'ga');                      ga('create', 'UA-xxxxxxxx-1', 'xxxxx.se');                 ga('send', 'pageview');              </script>


If I have only WOFF and EOT, what browsers am I supporting with @font-face?

We're looking at buying a font which only allows its use on the web in the provided formats: WOFF and EOT. I'm not sure what browsers those work in and can't seem to find up to date information. What browsers can I suport with just those two? My only experience is with fontspring's syntax which has EOT, WOFF, TTF and SVG.


Worth changing the URL structure to incorporate keywords?

I am migrating my blog from PHP to ASP.NET and while recoding the whole website, I figured I might as well improve the URL structure. This is how an url looks like now: **example.com/blog/post/755/hakurei-reimu-cosplay-from-touhou-by-kishigami- hana** and this is hould it will look after the change (cosplay being the dynamic main keyword of the post): **example.com/blog/cosplay/hakurei-reimu-cosplay-from-touhou-by-kishigami- hana-755/** The website is a bit more than a half year old and receives around 650k page views a month, mainly from search traffic. Of course everything would be redirected with 301 redirects. Do you think it is worth changing to a new URL structure, or will it harm the ranking in the long run?

Why is this GIF's animation speed different in Firefox vs. IE?

Oracle Enterprise Manager has a web interface that uses this GIF: ![Oracle Enterprise Manager](http://i.stack.imgur.com/gYwDk.gif) The odd thing about this GIF is that in Firefox (v9&10) it spins about twice as fast as in MSIE (v7&9). **Why does the animation speed change depending on the browser?**


Web Development Environment: How to distribute edited hosts files over bunch of mac machines?

I am doing some research to prepare some web development environment for our small(10ppl and growing) new office. User Case: For each new web project usually we create new alias on an Apache server someproject.companywebsite From my understanding in order to see this website locally for all the rest of our team(including mangers and directors) they will need to edit hosts file (e.g. "192.168.1.10 someproject.companywebsite"), and like that each time for a new project(can be 2-5 each week) Solution: And I looking for a solution how to edit this hosts file only once and distribute it over all mac machines in our network at once or much more flawlessly than poking around with each machine every time over and over again. Is that possible? Or that a very wrong way of doing that? Perhaps we better set up own local dns server and point to it our router? Though own dns server a bit concerns me because of might be some network interruption and others lags, if you know what I mean. Or perhaps there are another workflows for that? What's the best way for such things? So I'll be so grateful to hear some advices from experienced admins. I couldn't find that info on internet, so if you know where to read about it, point me in a right direction. Thank you in advance Alex


Can randomly-generated field names help avoid SPAM bots?

If I were to generate my field names randomly each time a contact form was rendered, would that help prevent SPAM bots from recognizing the fields? Can they read label text?


Blogspot as a simple CMS

Blogger/Blogspot recently released a new version of their software. This new version appears to have features relevant to a simple CMS (static page, albeit limited). I read from their Buzz Blog about a few websites that don't necessarily look like a typical Blogspot blog but rather somewhat a typical website deployed using a minimal CMS software: http://buzz.blogger.com/2011/07/you-can-do-some-amazing-things-with.html Can anyone point resources where I can learn how to do these? (Preferably case-studies with some steps how to create such website as oppose to Blogger HOWTO). Plus point if you can also tell me the infrastructure of Blogger.com (software stack, etc). Thanks


Tracking state of a one time event on a big website

Assume a website with 250 million active users. I add a new feature to the website. Once a user visits I want to use a short tutorial to teach them how to use said feature. I only want them to complete the tutorial once (or actively click it away). What is the smart way to code the verification check for this? How do I track the progress in the database? Having a separate table with like NewTutorial_completed = 1 for user_id = 21312315 would just snowball. It also feels intuitively bad to check for every one-time event for every user on every page view. While writing the question I got one idea, to have a separate event log that is checked periodically for any new action the user need to see or perform. I push events to this log and once they are completed they are removed from the log. No need to store NewTutorial_completed = 1-type variables this way. I am sure this is a common problem. I would appreciate any input on what best practice is.


Impossible referrers

I'm tracking webpage referrers. Sometimes I see russian (or other languages) blogs as referrer, which cover other subjects. Googling "site:http://myrussianblog.ru mywebsite" returns nothing. I don't use advertising systems. What these referrer mean? I know that referrer field can be changed.. but why?


Make all subdomains load the same page, how is it called/done?

Is there a way to make all subdomains show the same page. I got the idea somewhere you could have a page like idk information.com and if an user typed miami.information.com he would get information from that city. Is there a way to do it? Like making the site retrieve the first part of the subdomain and search it on the site.


Google Instant Preview (Image) - What screen dimension? e.g 1024x768?

I'm wondering what screen dimensions Google Instant Preview takes a snapshot of your website at e.g 1024px x 768px...? http://sites.google.com/site/webmasterhelpforum/en/faq-instant-previews FYI: I'm building a "responsive design" layout. Wonder if others like Yahoo or Bing take screenshots? And what dimensions they too use...


Server-infrastructure recommendations

Here's the thing: I need a cheap, fast, reliable infrastructure that can dynamically scale (like Amazon S3: cloud-storage). I'm thinking of 3 different type of 'servers'.   1. Application-server     * Should be able to run CentOS (or another light Linux-distr.)     * Should be able to run Apache     * Should be able to run PHP     * Should be able to run GD (so it does rely on it's cpu).     * Should be _extremely_ reliable and fast.   2. Database-server     * Should be able to run MySQL     * Should be able to... well, do nothing else :P.     * Should be _extremely_ reliable and fast.   3. Storage-server     * Should be able to run some kind of file-transfer-deamon (like FTP, CouchDB, etc.)     * Should be able to do nothing else.     * Should be _extremely_ reliable and fast. So technically, by transferring all static data to 2 different servers/services, the application-server can totally focus on the webpages. My questions:   * What services do you recommend?   * Which is cheaper, faster and more reliable: using my own server, or using some cloud-storage/cloud-computing-service (like Amazon S3, CloudFiles, etc.)?   * How can I prevent bandwidth abuse (such as dos-attacks causing the bill to be extremely high)?   * What's the difference between "including CDN" and "excluding CDN"? It seems the price doesn't differ at CloudFiles?   * Do you have to pay "including CDN" + "excluding CDN" when you decide to enable the delivery-network? Or have you only got to pay "including CDN"?   * Should I use my own nameserver too or can I use my domain-hoster's nameservers? What are the minimum software specifications of a nameserver. Can I write some software myself? Does anyone have a good protocol-description? I hope you can answer my questions. **Answers**   * I shouldn't write my own nameserver-software. Instead, I should use something like bind. (http://osspro.com/2010/05/04/linux-create-your-own-domain-name-server-dns/).


Google maps for a mobile site

We have a website that uses the Google Maps static maps functionality to embed maps into pages. This works with no problem; we just use something like this:               <img src="http://maps.google.com/maps/api/staticmap?zoom=15&size=512x512&maptype=roadmap&markers=color:red|label:H|42.038322,-87.680260&sensor=false" />      We are now creating a mobile site for the same client. The code itself will still work, but I'm wondering how to make sure I get a map that doesn't take over the entire screen, but is still readable. Is there a standard size that's used for mobile screens? I'm guessing with the static maps there's no way for a user to click to zoom in if we use a small size, but the regular API requires javascript and a lot of mobile browsers still don't support it. Any ideas?


How long can I expect to wait before a DNS name is transferred to a new server?

I need to know how long it should take to transfer my domain name from one server to another. I have a domain name and I am trying to transfer it but one of the local companies said that I can't transfer in less than 2 months with them.

godaddy domains, no bids, should I wait for expire?

I'm interested in a godaddy domain name that's on auction. The domain name has no bids on it. Should I wait for the auction to end and then buy it afterwards or should I bid in the auction? Basically the question is, will the domain still be available to buy after the auction ends?


How to crawl a webPage with dynamic content added by javascript

I guess there is a news that Google bots have the capability to understand our javascript code. It means this is possible to fully crawl a webpage which has lazy loading feature enabled. I am using Apache Nutch to crawl websites but I don't think it has the capability to fetch the URLs being injected in HTML page by javascript when the page is scrolled down. I see a lot of websites doing lazy loading for performance issue. So Can somebody please explain me how can i crawl the data which comes in HTML page on lazy load. (On scrolling the page down).

I deployed a web application in IIS 7.5 using _installshield_. But after deploying the site I am facing below error on accessing the site from URL.               HTTP Error 403.14 - Forbidden The Web server is configured to not list the contents of this directory.

Can we preserve our old domains Pagerank but cut all ties with the old domain such that it doesn't redirect?

Here's the situation - a client of mine has recently changed their company name and have changed their web address. They want to completely cut all ties with their old brand, so they have told me that their old website absolutely _cannot_ redirect to the new one. The old domain has a PR of 4, so it would be nice to carry some of that authority over to the new domain. The new domain has just been registered so I'm really starting over from scratch in terms of SEO. I can't use 301 redirects and I can't link to the new site from the old one. Is there anything I can do?


Our "Contact Us" page is outperforming our "Home" page on Google

We're looking at how our website is performing in Google and noticing that our "contact us" page is outperforming our "homepage" for a typical search which is product+geography.               widgets dallas     widget makers dallas     widget shop texas      The reason being that the "contact us" page has the "dallas" & "texas" in our address more prominently in its text. So Google is being perfectly logical in showing this page as a priority. But the "contact us" page is far from the best page for our new customer to stumble on. It's not a _bad_ page, it's just not the best page for a new visitor to come to _first_. Our homepage is where to find our best stuff. Is there a correct solution to this problem? The obvious solution of stuffing more geographic keywords into our homepage feels a bit dirty (and anti- Google). Equally, making the "contact us" page more like our homepage is nonsensical. We don't want to detract from its job of providing "contact us" information to people who really need it, a job which it's currently doing fine.


Why do I get this error about file not being found?

I am getting this error: `File does not exist: /var/www/user/home/user/public_html/cgi-sys` I have only .html files in the document root. Can anyone tell why I am getting this error?


Does URL encoding create duplicate content?

An SEO expert was testing my site, and noticed that my URLs contained the special character `:`. He said that would create duplicate content, because google would interpret any url containing `:` as two separate URLs: one with `:` and one with `%3A`. Is he right?


Is there a search engine that indexes source code of a web-page?

I need to search the web for sites that are in our industry that use the same Adwords management company, to ensure that the said company is not violating our contract, as they have been accused of doing. They use a tracking code in the template of every page which has a certain domain in the URL, and I'm wondering if it's possible "Google" the source code using some bot that crawls the code rather than the content? For example, I bought an unlimited license for an image gallery, and I was asked to type the license number in a comment just before the script. I thought it was just so a human could look at the source and find out if someone paid, but it turned out that it was actually that they had a crawler looking for their source code and that comment. If it ran across the code on your site, it would look for the comment, and if it found one, it would check to see if it was an existing one. If not, it would first notify you of your noncompliance, and then notify the owner of the script. **Edit:** I'm looking to index HTML and JavaScript only, not the server-side languages or Java.


Does content with few words and lots of Anchor text count as spam?

My website has been getting inbound links from an article which contains a low word count but lots of anchor text. That paragraph contains 150 words but nearly 15 are anchor text. Will that have an affect my site's ranking?


How necessary is it to use HTML5 now on websites?

I have been working upon a wordpress theme and almost done with it, but recently I got to learn some of the new HTML5 tags such as `<header>`, `<footer>`, `<article>` etc etc. I have a doubt whether I should re-modify my pages in accordance with HTML5 or not? I mean is it a good practice now to code in HTML5 or I should continue using the older HTML code until HTML5 is completely out in the market! Please guide. For now I am just thinking of implementing the basic HTML5 tags such as `<header>`, `<article>` and `<footer>` and meta tags format.


How to tell Google that I have changed my website URLs?

I have done major updates to my website, and renamed all my URLs. How can I tell Google that I have renamed these URLs and let Google refresh its index? **My website URL** : `http://www.pndmasr.com/`   **My sitemap** : `http://www.pndmasr.com/sitemap.xml` I have uploaded my sitemap via Google Webmaster Tools many times. However, every time I search Google for "pndmasr", I still get results with old pages. I have waited more than 3 days but the problem remains. Any suggestions? Is there a problem with my sitemap?

How to redirect old page link to new link when using new CMS for website

We are doing a new website and the current website `www.domains.com` has been running for almost 3 years and is quite visible on search engines. Now we are working on new website with multilingual features and we are also using custom cms that is developed using asp.net webform. and we have new url for which will render old url useless. for example in current website internship page can be accessed via two url `Internship` http://www.domain.com/internship/   http://www.domain.com/internship/Default.aspx and `Employment` page can also be accessed via two url http://www.domain.com/employment/   http://www.domain.com/employment/Default.aspx Now with new cms following for the above mentioned `internship` page we use following url http://www.domain.com/en/internship/1/21/internship since new website actually doen't contain folder `internship` i was thinking of creating a folder `internship` and default.aspx and make it 301 redirect from `http://www.domain.com/internship/Default.aspx` to `http://www.domain.com/en/internship/1/21/internship` is this approach correct. I looked for best approach on net and found this article which has also confused me http://moz.com/blog/save-your-website-with-redirects as it now showing any practical example. as other article save we should use 302 redirect etc... Please advise how can i make a redirect from the old website link which is `http://www.domain.com/internship/Default.aspx` TO new website link `http://www.domain.com/en/internship/1/21/internship` which basically has same contents. appreciate reply on this


Can anyone recommend a good SMS gateway for PHP?

I'm looking for an SMS gateway that has the following criteria:   * Supports sending from short codes   * Opt-in capabilities for end-user (will require user to opt in before sending message)   * Has a clean API, preferably an XML/ REST API, although SOAP is fine   * The cheaper the better Honestly, I keep searching and searching all permutations of "SMS Gateway API" etc... on Google and I can't find any great services that can support all of these criteria. There are a lot of really SEO optimized sites and I can't tell which of them are legit. I'm looking for something that will be easy and quick to implement, and none of my colleagues have any recommendations. What APIs have you used (preferably with PHP) that have gotten this job done? Which services have been the most pleasant to deal with, both technically and support-wise? **Update:** Will be sending primarily (probably solely) in the US.


Should I add rel nofollow to internal links which already have meta noindex?

Let's say I have a products page with listing producsts and the page has pagination. I would like the 1st page to have all the SE ranking weight so I decided to put `meta noindex` on the rest of the paginated pages (from page 2 to N). My common sense says that if I don't want pages to not get indexed, I shouldn't also pass link/PR juice to these pages. (Is that smart?) What happens if I set `rel="nofollow"` for all pagination links from page 2 to page N?


Is it possible to find out more information about particular visits in analytics? For example, say I'm looking at new versus returning users. I then add a secondary column of "city". Ok, now I know all new users from yesterday came from new york, for example. But what if I want to find out more information about those particular new vists from new york.

Duplicate Content: Who wrote it first?

I understand this question has been asked before in here ( ** _HERE_**) However, as some of you may know, technology advances quickly and it is very unstable, specially SEO. Today's practices can be completely ancient technology next month. And this question was asked back in 2010. So, with that being said,... During a research, I realized that one of my blogs has been duplicated by 7 other websites. And I'm talking about 'verbatim' duplication. period by period, comma by comma. I was going to write them all a letter but then it hit me, what if they dispute it? How can I prove that I wrote it? Is there anything out there that I can do to see were their blogs written? I was thinking about looking into the copywrite date in their footer but that can be changed.

There are many local and global company catalogs. Some of them generate info about my company automatically, some have to be manually filled out. Is there any benefit to registering and adding a link to my site in them? Will I get some juice? Do these catalogs even have any juice?


Should WHMCS hacking attemps that never succeed be important to me?

Why don't they use any other way to attack?!!! In my opinion it is obvious that a system like WHMCS will never be hacked by such a poor attempts. They should have of course used some functions like `strip_tags` and `mysql_real_escape_string` and other security functions. Would any body explain why do they always select such a poor way to attack? Don't they really know that WHMCS is stronger than these low level hacks? In fact I'd like to know that: Do these efforts differ from each other? Can they be serious? Should I be scared of these attempts?

How do sites avoid SEO issues and legalities with subdomain unique ids?

I was looking through a few websites recently and noticed a trend I'm not sure I understand. Sites are creating unique referral URLs for customers in the form of: `http://customname.site.com` (If somebody were to use `http://www.site.com/customname` it would function the same way). I can see the sites are using 302 redirects at some point using Google Chrome then doing some sort of htaccess redirect, taking the sub domain name (custom name) and applying it as a referral parameter then keeping in session during the entire process. However, there must be thousands of these custom URLs that people are typing in. How are each one of these "sub domains" not treated as separate URLs which in turn are redirected to the same page (in short, generating tons of links all pointing to the same page which Google would normally frown upon)? Additionally, the links also appear on the site themselves as click-able links so I'm not sure how these are not tracked. Similarly, the "unique" URL is not indexed or cached in any Google search results. **How is this capability handled?**   1. I know these are 302 redirects, I can see this on the sites network flow.   2. These links do in fact appear on the page itself because in some areas (for example, the bottom of the page may say: send this page to a friend! `http://name.site.com/` which in turn would again redirect to something like `http://www.site.com?id=name` so the id value could be stored in session


Does similar Titles considered duplicates relating to SEO

I have built a testing service and I wonder if I should be concerned that search engines will consider similar titles as duplicates. For example:   1. Some URLs title can be differed from others by only one word such as "Senior" and "Junior"      * Title A: C++ Online Test for Juniors     * Title B: C++ Online Test for Seniors         2. Another example is with the "+" sign:      * Title A: C Standard Library Online Test for Seniors     * Title B: C++ Standard Library Online Test for Seniors Should I assume search engines will understand there is a difference in the titles? And the titles are not duplicated?

Is there any lyrics meta tag when a page contains lyrics?

> **Possible Duplicate:**   >  Do meta keywords have any impact on ranking algorithms? So I created a website for a friend that has a music band and for each song we have the lyrics for it. I don't want to use the word `lyrics` (if it's not necessary) because it is pretty obvious when you're visiting the site. So my question is what should I do, from my side, to let the crawlers know that when somebody is searching for `the smallest creature reboot lyrics` his official website will appear higher? Any SEO tricks for music, bands, lyrics, etc, before the whole planet is going to start linking to his website? :)
