How does the Google Images preview panel work, and why is it not showing my image?

In Google Images, when an image is clicked in search results, an "image preview" appears with a blurry image (basically the cached low-res version) and then an updated, clearer version is swapper in later. Does this fetch the live image? I have also noticed on some images that the clearer image does not get swapped in, this appears to be on sites that block hotlinking. I have an image that is #1 on Google Images for certain (fairly popular) search terms. I recently updated the image but the thumbnail for the old image still shows (and is the blurry one in the image preview). The image is hosted on the Amazon CloudFront CDN and hotlinking is not blocked. However, when I search for my image, the image preview stays blurry and the better quality image is not switched in. Other images on the CDN work fine. Does anyone know a possible reason for this?


Google Analytics - additem for multiple skus in one call

I have an ecommerce site, when customers complete a transaction we pass the Google analytics calls for `_addTrans` and `_addItem` The `_addItem` call is made individually for each item ordered, so if a customer ordered 5 items there will be 5 calls made. However if a customer orders a large number of items, because each item is called individually on the thankyou page, there is a high chance the customer will navigate away from the page before all the calls to GA have been made. Does anyone know if it is possible to send all items ordered in one `_addItem` call to GA using an array and matched pairs? for example if a customer orders 2 items the call could look something like               _addItem(transactionId, sku, name, category, price, quantity)          _addItem([id1,id2], [sku1,sku2], [prod1,prod2], [cat1,cat2], [2,3], [1,2])


aligning 3 divs

I'm good at some things but html/css layout isn't one of them. I need to lay out a page with two divs on the left, div1 (height 30%, width 30%) on top and div2 (height 7% and width 30%) below div1. These 3 divs to be within a container div. Then I need to add div3 to the right of div1 and div 2. Div 3 to be width 70%, height 100%.               ***************************************     *   div1   *         div3             *     *          *                          *     ************                          *     *   div2   *                          *     *          *                          *     *          *                          *     *          *                          *     ***************************************      I've tried every combination of floating, clearing and black magic that I can think of but I can't get div 3 to line up where I want it. I'd appreciate it if someone could fill in the skeleton below with the correct stuff to accomplish this layout.


Use different .htaccess file based on set header from browser

I want to have the ability to test _.htaccess_ rules before saving them to the main _.htaccess_ file. Is it possible to set a specific request header and have Apache use a set of rules from a different _.htaccess_ file.

Would google consider this a "link scheme"?

I work for a County Government. In an effort to improve our search engine rankings I was considering contacting some of the other Counties in my state and seeing if we could setup an arrangement where we link to them and they link to us. It seems like a reasonable thing to have a "Other Counties" page with various links on a County website, but it also seems like it's bordering on a link scheme according to Google. When I read Google's article about link schemes it seems like we hit some of the right reasons for having links on another County's site but also some of the wrong. Does anyone have any insight into whether this is a good or bad idea?


How to handle domain squatter?

What is the best way to handle domain squatters? I know this topic has been discussed before, but I haven't found anything that was addressing my specific case. The situation: I am creating a website for a small company in Germany (lets say it's called blablub) and they own the blablub.de domain and the German trademark of the name blablub. All google searches are also related to this small company in germany, so it doesn't seem like anybody else uses the name. Somebody owns the domain blablub.com since 2000 but hasn't done anything with the domain since then as far as I can see, except diligently updating the domain whenever it is about to expire. There isn't even a site hosted at the domain that advertises to sell the domain (when I ping blablub.com, I get a Request timeout, this has been the case for at least a year now). According to whois the registrant is "Domain Discreet Privacy Service", who seems to own a whole lot of domains or probably just hides the real owner. I feel uncomfortable contacting them to buy the domain because I don't really want to support domain squatters. Is there a chance that a UDRP would be successful or should I swallow my pride and simply ask them for how much they would sell it. I am also hesitant to contact the domain holder because I don't want to signal to him/her that I have an interest in the domain.


How are the .cat TLD requirements enforced?

When registering a `.cat` TLD, one of the requirements is > Warning: the registration contract for domain names in this extension > require that you publish at least one page in Catalan within 6 months. How is this requirement enforced by the TLD owners? Do they have bots that scan for links going to pages in Catalan? I am trying to determine if this entails any restrictions with regards to the nature of the website itself. If, for example, a page used Javascript to populate the page, would the bots miss this (meaning, single page applications may be undesirable).


Installing a PHP framework to a host without public_html or www folders (ftp is DocumentRoot)

I've developed a PHP framework that operates with the directory structure of               /       /classes/       /templates/       /.../       /www/ (public_html)      But I've come across a host that only allows ftp to the DocumentRoot, so this imposes a security risk to my scripts. I don't want the root of the site to point to the root where my framework lies. I've asked a question over at stackoverflow with a question to an .htaccess rewriterule to potentially solve this Is there a better method to do this?


Can I detect the IP address and location of visitors to my web application who are behind a proxy?

I'm writing a web application and I need to make sure that I have the actual IP address and location of my visitors, since there are many users in Middle East and China using proxy services to bypass the restrictions there. Is there a way to detect this information behind a proxy?


wrong duplicate meta descriptions on webmaster tools

We have recently moved our site to a new platform with a different structure. We placed the correct 301 redirects from old pages, but also, some pages include 302 redirects for language-specific content. For example, if someone goes to `site.com/de/library/slug-url` they will be redirected with a 302 to `site.com/de/bibliotek/slug-url`. For some reason on our latest webmaster tools HTML Suggestions report, we noticed many pages reported as `Pages with duplicate meta descriptions`. The report includes both versions: The real page and the page that generates the 302. In some cases a third version of the page appears, e.g. `site.com/library/slug-url` (which also generates a 302 to `site.com/de/library/slug-url`) Shouldn't google detect the redirect correctly? Why does it report on duplicate meta descriptions?


What are the two different types of google search results called?

## Google SERPs have search results that appear in two different ways: ![Single Search Result](http://i.stack.imgur.com/j6C4i.png)   **Single Search Result** ![Single Search Result with Sitelinks](http://i.stack.imgur.com/junmR.png)   **Single Search Result withSitelinks** Are there official terms for these? I know that a "SERP" is Search Results Page, and I'm fairly certain that a single search result is just called a "search result". But what is a search result with Sitelinks called?


Will these tool tips get me penalized?

I have a page of 10 products. Each product has a list of (7) features associated with it. If a user hovers over the name of the feature, (ex. Moisture resistance), a tooltip description displays. The descriptions (a sentence or two), are loaded once on the page using JavaScript, but the titles are not, so I essentially have a bunch of redundant tool tip titles. I am concerned this will look like keyword stuffing to the bots. Anyone know about this? Maybe I should load the feature titles with JavaScript as well?


Icon grid that overlay when clicked?

I'm looking for something that works like this: The page is a 4x4 grid of icons (boxes with small pictures and a title). When someone clicks on one of them, an overlay gracefully is displayed with more info on that topic. The user then clicks an X in the upper-right corner or whatever to close. I don't want a popup in the sense of opening a new web page. Anyone seen something like this? Ideally, a jQuery or javascript component I can just plugin without having to write a bunch of code...looked around on CodeCanyon, etc. but didn't find anything.

What does Google do with indexed pages returning 403?

I guess that Google removes already indexed pages that are now returning the HTTP error `403`. Unfortunately I can't find any definitive statement on that matter. Do you know the answer?


Show preview images of my site content in Google Search Results

Paypal "Subscribe" button: Is it possible to let the subscriber set the amount?

I'm setting up a recurring payment option on my website. I'd like to have two options:   * Option 1 (for individuals): Fixed $6/mo subscription   * Option 2 (for organizations): A subscription where the amount is set by the subscriber So, I would like to enable the subscriber of Option 2 to set the amount of the monthly subscription themselves. PayPal's "Subscribe" button does not seem to allow that: ![enter image description here](http://i.stack.imgur.com/bYMq9.png) When I leave the "Amount" field of the 2nd option empty, I get an error: ![enter image description here](http://i.stack.imgur.com/aPpxJ.png) So, is this not possible? Do all options require fixed amounts?


Using SEO to hide a website in a specific location?

A friend of mine wants to build a website, but doesn't want people in the West Midlands area of the UK to be able to see it, but wants areas outside of the West Midlands to be able to see it. Is this possible? I know SEO can be used to target specific countries to improve search results, but could it be used to target specific areas inside a country and to basically remove the website from Google listings for a specific area? Cheers!


How do you style Google forms (from Google Docs)?

While Google makes themes available to style forms in Google Docs, there seems to be no provision for styling forms yourself. I have a two-column layout and want the form on the right. There are various problems, such as the textarea overflowing the column. Since it's in an Iframe there's not way to wedge in a stylesheet or a jQuery/javascript fix. The only suggestion I've found is grabbing the source of the iframe and dropping it into my own HTML, but this breaks the built-in validation and is too hack-ish.


Facelets SEO advice

Before I deploy the new version of my site, I would like to know a little more about facelets and SEO. My previous version of site was written in JSF and I noticed that when I submitted it to the google crawler, that the crawler did not locate all relevant sections of my site from my index page. 1)I presume this is because the crawler uses raw hyperlink anchors to navigate around the site and does not understand: h:outputlink ? If this is true, then Facelets is already an improvement as the developer can use raw anchors with the jsfc attribute. 2)What about Meta tags? Is there a way to get internationalization into a sites meta tags? I can only think that one has to write a tag for each language or not? I am referring to the following two tags (as an example):               <meta name="description" content="thejarbar.org tutorial to set PATH variable" />     <meta name="keywords" content="thejarbar.org, tutorial, guide, instructions, example, howto, Java, PATH,             setup, variable" />      3)Question 2 extends to the tooltip attributes and alt attributes for images. How do you optimize these for crawlers and internationalization?


Are there any sites where I can submit a brief for a website?

I work for a company that wants to redesign its website, and I've been asked to find a firm to do this. I've searched online and there are too many agencies! Are there any websites where companies can post a brief of what they want done, and agencies can read through and contact the company directly if the brief is of interest? If it makes any difference we're based in the UK.


Site gone missing from Google and no visitors in analytics

I've just noticed that since the 20th Juli, Google Analytics hasn't picked up on my visitors and my website is no longer on Google.com. Only subdirectories like `website.com/forum/`. I can't recall having changed anything, and my analytics code is still there. Any idea why my site suddenly seems to block robots from checking my site?


Website to send clients browser settings via email

I have a couple of clients that I need this information for and cannot really ask them to find out this information manually.


Redirect does not work

I tried to redirect a broken link onto my site by redirect :               RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^.*$     RewriteRule ^domian_registration\.html$ "http\:\/\/mysite\.com\/domain_registration\.html" [R=301,L]      But it responds with error (404 Not Found) and redirects to following URL:               mysite/home/[Cpanel user]/public_html/domain_registration.html      What's the problem?

Domain Redirect to another using CNAME Record

I have a Domain, lets say `maindom.com`, now I want to have another Domain, lets say `secdom.com` to point to `maindom.com` such that all the URL's leads to `maindom.com`. I want to do this with the help of CNAME records **only**. I can use third-party services also. Example:   `secdom.com/rand123` Leads to `maindom.com/rand123`   `secdom.com/ano2484/anot` Leads to `maindom.com/ano2484/anot`   `secdom.com/tesecqz?id=45` Leads to `maindom.com/tesecqz?id=45`   I tried adding a CNAME record to `secdom.com` with value `maindom.com`, but just din't work. Another point to note is that the IP of `maindom.com` host other websites also and not just this one, this can be a problem I guess. How to do this? Any help is appreciated.

Wiki Incorporating LaTeX and PHP

I'm a little overwhelmed by the myriad of wiki solutions available. Let me briefly describe what I will be doing and what I think I need. If there are more questions you can ask to help narrow the choices, please include those in the comments and I will update my question. I have database of ice cream flavors (not really, but let's just go with it). My fields include the name of the flavor followed by several statements that could be true or false for that flavor, such as "Contains nuts" or "Contains cherries". So, an entry in the database might be "Vanilla, No, No" or maybe "Banana Split, Yes, Yes". What I would like to do with the database is write a PHP script to automatically create a wiki article for each flavor and include the information I have on it. After the wiki is initialized, it needs to be editable by registered users only. In addition to whatever I need to accomplish the above, I also need LaTeX support (because it isn't actually about ice cream). I have my own domain, so it need not be externally hosted (in fact, I would prefer to host it myself, but this isn't crucial). Edit history is a must. My first instinct was to use MediaWiki, since most users should be familiar with it already, but I don't know if I can use PHP to interface with it in the way I described. I also feel that the LaTeX rendering is not particularly beautiful, but I don't know if any other systems do a better job.


Joomla 3.2.2 - frontend connection problems, backend working perfect

First of all, I'd like to say hello to everybody in this great community :) Countless times before, I was able to find my way out of a problem thanks to you. But now, I can't find any similar topic to my problem. It started 5 days ago with frontend errors - Internal 500 or connection was reset. Every time after very long waiting. I thought that it's some problem on the provider side, they checked, said everything was fine, they checked two times. The second time they suggested I clean my browser cache. I did, and my site worked great. For a minute. It allowed one or two clicks in articles and... again, same old story. Then, it became even worse - even after cleaning the browser cache, I have problems to launch the frontend. Backend works perfect, I can edit, save and so on every article, module, and so on. When frontend finally manages to open, it reflects changes. So... it's very strange to me. That was the situation till two days ago, when things got a bit better. Now - no 500 internals or "connection was reset" during loading. Presently it looks like that : there is longer than average "awaiting for connection" time, and when finally download starts, it's very fast. Sometimes this waiting is 5, sometimes 10 seconds, which is way too long. I tried disabling modules, compressing js & css, but nothing helped to come to real awaiting time which is normally below 1s on other sites. Hosting keeps claiming that it's not their fault, and suggested it's some module or extension causing problems, but as I said, I tried disabling every module one by one, with no result. Did anybody encounter something like that? By the way, other websites on same hosting and same Joomla version work just fine. Template? For the first two days it was ok, so it's not template either. I tried to change options of SEF links, url rewriting - nothing. It's driving me mad. Additionaly, I created an account on Pingdom, and they show that my page loads worse than 70-80% of other websites. I also set checking each minute and letting me know via sms (it's free up to 20 smses) if the site is offline more than 5 minutes in a row - and I get one-two such smses daily. Thank you in advance for your imput, maybe somebody has to look at this with a clear head. Joomla version is 3.2.2 Cheers and thank you in advance, Artur


how to start sendmail - WP email turned off

I have a WP site on a linux box. Our email was working fine in Wordpress but recently it stopped, I think because of a restart. All I could think of was to restart sendmail. I couldn't find sendmail in the normal directory (/etc/init.d/sendmail restart) but that didn't exist. I found another directory for sendmail in the sbin but every time I try running it it doesn't respond and I have to exit. This is all what I tried. Any ideas?               [root@li209-134 ~]# /etc/init.d/sendmail restart     -bash: /etc/init.d/sendmail: No such file or directory          [root@li /]# find . -name sendmail -print     ./usr/sbin/sendmail     ./usr/lib/sendmail     [root@li /]# ./usr/sbin/sendmail restart     ^C     [root@li /]# sudo /usr/sbin/sendmail restart     ^C     [root@li /]# sudo service sendmail start     sendmail: unrecognized service     [root@li /]# /usr/sbin/sendmail start     ^C     [root@li /]# /usr/sbin/sendmail     ^C     [root@li /]# /usr/lib/sendmail start     ^C


.htaccess port 80 to another port SEO impact?

I am using the Ghost blogging platform. By default to access the blog you go to `blog.my-site.com:2368` of course this makes for a ugly, unfriendly URL. I am using _.htaccess_ to change the behavior so when a person types in `blog.my-site.com` they see the URL. I used the following code:               Options +FollowSymLinks -MultiViews       # Turn mod_rewrite on     RewriteEngine On       RewriteBase /          RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^blog.mywebsite.com$ [NC]       RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off       RewriteRule ^ http://blog.mywebsite.com:2368%{REQUEST_URI} [P,QSA,L]        From my understanding this is not a redirect, but rather transparently sends the traffic from port 80 to port 2368. My question is this: Does this process have any impact on SEO or, in the views of SEO, it is the same as `blog.my-site.com`?


My WordPress site must be being affected by outside sources

Some of my pages are resulting in 310 errors (too many redirects). We recently switched domains from kgstiles.com to healthmasterysystems.com then discovered healthmasterysystems.com was listed as not trust-worthy by Google and really strange popups kept coming up. Google had had a malicious site warning dating back to March - long before we got it, so yesterday we switched it back. If you go to http://www.kgstiles.com/pureplantessentials/, it redirects to kgstiles.com/missing/. I have installed all sorts of plugins to stop it, I have changed the permalink structure, cleared `.htaccess`, repaired the database, etc. Nothing ever worked. So I restored the database and all of the files to before we switched domains and the problem still persists! Is it safe to assume something outside of the website is affecting it? What could possibly be happening?


Googlebot getting "301 Moved Permanently" according to "Fetch as Googlebot" in Webmaster Tools

I launched a website four days ago, and now when I try to crawl the website like Google bot in "Google webmaster tools" I end up with a response like this:               HTTP/1.1 301 Moved Permanently     Date: Thu, 16 May 2013 21:37:26 GMT     Server: Apache     Location: http://example.com/     Content-Length: 294     Keep-Alive: timeout=10, max=29     Connection: Keep-Alive     Content-Type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1          <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//IETF//DTD HTML 2.0//EN">          <title>301 Moved Permanently</title>

I don't want to submit my application because if they reject my application, i'll be waiting again for the next 6-8 months for reapplication. This might be my 2nd time to apply to Tribal Fusion.

I just need to be sure and very careful. please understand... Can somebody shed some light here?


Use Google Adwords to track click conversions

I have read that Google Analytics supports click conversions (Tracking click conversions with Google Analytics). But I think I rather have conversions tracked within AdWords so I have a single source where I can monitor performance of specific campaigns. **So, is there a way for me to setup click conversions within AdWords** , I could not find it here https://support.google.com/adwords/answer/2375435 or here https://support.google.com/adwords/answer/1722054 What I need specifically:   1. be able to measure if a link with a specific class was clicked and of course assign that conversion to the campaign via which the user arrived   2. only measure a conversion if a link was clicked by a user who came via one of my AdWords campaigns (so a user who would navigate directly to my site and clicked that link would not be tracked as a conversion **UPDATE** I do not have a landing page on which I can measure a conversion, since I'm an affiliate and don't sell the products myself, but redirect users to 3rd party publisher sites, I don't know whether a user actually buys the product. But I can get a pretty good indication of a conversion by measuring the click on a link that is directed to an external site. See how it works here: http://www.wonderweddings.com/weddingshop from this page and from any productdetail page the user can click to an external site. THAT is the click I want to set as a conversion.


Managing 404 error pages with noindex and url rewrite

Currently I use custom 404 error pages, having the following meta on them :               <meta content="noindex" name="robots">      My guess is this way Google will remove deleted pages faster from the index, anyone has experienced a case where it does ? Also, is it better to have the url path rewritten to the actual error page, like the url pattern: http://{mysite}/{404_error_page} or is it best to keep the old deleted page's url when serving a 404 error ?


Where does the HTTP referer "applewebdata" come from?

My site uses a web stat service like Google Analytics, it uses a piece of javascript code to log what pages the visitor has visited and the refer url of each visit. I got some referer "applewebdata", wonder where is those visitors from?


The right way of using index.html

_I have quite a lot of issues I'd like to hear your opinion on, so I hope I'll manage to explain it well enough. I should also note that I'm beginner equipped only with the knowledge of HTML and CSS so although I'm almost sure that there is a simple solution using powerful PHP, **it won't help me**._ Let's say that I have my personal blog on the address `example.com/blog.html` and there are links to several sub-blogs `example.com/blog/math.html`, `example.com/blog/coding.html` etc. So my root folder contains `blog.html` and `blog` folder, the `blog` folder itself contains files `math.html` and `coding.html`. First of all, I learned (from Google Webmasters Tools) that for SEO and aesthetical purposes it's good to unify `example.com.com` and `example.com/index.html` by adding `_rel="canonical"_` attribute into the source of the `index.html`. Using a couple of other tricks (like linking to `../` and `./`) I got rid of the ugly `index.html` appearing in my web addresses. And now I wonder if this trick can be used not only for the root folder but for **any** folder? I mean, I would move my `blog.html` into the `blog` folder, rename it into the `index.html` and add `rel="canonical"` to unify `example.com/blog/index.html` with `example.com/blog/`.   This trick would change the address of my blog from `example.com/blog.html` into `example.com/blog/`. Not finished! I'm also experiencing problems with the google robot indexing my folders. So when I type `site:example.com/` into the google search, the link to my folder `example.com/blog/` with raw files, icons etc. appears among the other results. I guess there are also other ways how to fix it, but IMHO the change mentioned above would do the trick too - the _index.html_ in the blog folder would preserve the user from viewing the actual raw content of that folder, there would appear only the right link `example.com/blog/` in the google search and (I hope that) `_rel="canonical"_` would make the second, unwanted link `example.com/blog/index.html` not to appear in the search results. So my questions are:   1. Is it a good practice to have the `index.html` file in every subfolder or is it intended to be only in the root folder?   2. Are there any disadvantages or problems that may occur when using the second, " _index in every folder_ " method?   3. Which one of the two ways of structuring the website described above would **you** prefer?


Root Domain Redirects Incorrectly To Https instead of to WWW

Why do visits to my website work without "www", but not to specific pages on it? I recently moved my website to a new webhost, RedHat's OpenShift (a PAAS). It requires using Cname records to setup custom domains, something my domain name registar (1&1) does not support without a hosting plan. So instead I setup Cloudflare in-between my domain and web host, and setup a Cname record on it. I then pointed a 1&1 "www" sub-domain to CloudFlare, and then pointed my 1&1 root to "www" sub-domain. This works fine for visiting to my homepage, but for some reason it does not work when visiting a specific page without "www". Instead of adding "www", it goes to HTTPS, which is strange.


Google Stats, how to get More info?

I have created a blog very recently and i'm seeing my traffic and audience using Google Stats that is in built in google blogger.

Correct me if am wrong.


Safari HTML for Planck Constant/Reduced Planck Constant

I want to display the symbols commonly known as h and h-bar. This is for Safari and iOS. What do I enter into my html? If there is a table of such things somewhere, a reference to it would be great. Thanks!


Setting up Google Analytics for multiple subdomains

so first here's a snippet of my current Analytics javascript:               var _gaq = _gaq || [];     _gaq.push(['_setAccount', 'UA-30490730-1']);     _gaq.push(['_setDomainName', '.apartmentjunkie.com']);     _gaq.push(['_setSiteSpeedSampleRate', 100]);     _gaq.push(['_trackPageview']);     (function() {         var ga = document.createElement('script');         ga.type = 'text/javascript';         ga.async = true;         ga.src = ('https:' == document.location.protocol ? 'https://ssl' : 'http://www') + '.google-analytics.com/ga.js';         var s = document.getElementsByTagName('script')[0];s.parentNode.insertBefore(ga, s);     })();      So if you wanna have a quick peak at the site the url is ApartmentJunkie.com, keep in mind the site is pretty bare bones but you'll get the idea -- basically it's very similar to craigslist in the sense that it's in the local space so people pick a city then get sent to a subdomain that is specific for that city, e.g. `winnipeg.mb.apartmentjunkie.com`. I put that up late last night then had a look at the analytics and found that I am seeing only the request uri portion of the URLs in analytics as I would with any other site only with this one it's a problem as `winnipeg.mb.apartmentjunkie.com/map/` and `brandon.mb.apartmentjunkie.com/map/` are two different pages and shouldn't be lumped together as `/map/` I know the kneejerk response is likely going to be "hey just setup a different google analytics profile for each subdomain" but there will eventually be a lot of subdomains so google's cap of 50 is going to be too limited and even more important I want to see the data in aggregate for the most part. I am thinking of making a change to the javascript, to something like:               _gaq.push(['_trackPageview',String(document.domain) + String(document.location)]);      But am unsure if this is the best way and figured someone else on wm.se would have had a similar situation that they could talk a bit about.

Is the W3 standard a major factor when google decides SERP position?

I have a dynamic php website which index only has around 800 errors according to the w3 validator online. I have tried checking major websites like ebay, stackoverflow and others also, all with around 400 errors. So my first thought is, what good is that validator when it always displays errors? Secondly, will the errors affect my SERP ranking? ie, will me fixing these errors as good as I can increase my Google search position? Thanks

Google Analytics: Time on site by day's hour?

I want to know this:               0 am - avg. time on site  = Xmins     1 am - avg. time on site  = Xmins     2 am - avg. time on site  = Xmins     3 am - avg. time on site  = Xmins     4 am - avg. time on site  = Xmins     5 am - avg. time on site  = Xmins     ...      It would be nice to have it as a barchart in Google Analytics, but since there is a maximum set to nine bars in dashboard, it doesn't seem possible. Might be a line chart, but there is no such grouping there, right?


Wordpress website with slow response (only for the first request)

I've a weird issue with my wordpress website ( http://rohitnair.info/) . The "first request" takes ages to respond. Any subsequent requests behave normally. Things I've observed while debugging   * Clearing the browser cache and reloading works fine and the page loads fast enough   * Clearing the cookies and reloading reproduces the issue. I thus define "first request" in this context as a request with no cookies set for the domain. Another easy way to reproduce this issue is to use curl and not send any cookies. This is the output of curl -v               $ time curl -v rohitnair.info     * About to connect() to rohitnair.info port 80 (#0)     * Trying 23.21.171.95... connected     * Connected to rohitnair.info (23.21.171.95) port 80 (#0)     > GET / HTTP/1.1     > User-Agent: curl/7.19.7 (i386-redhat-linux-gnu) libcurl/7.19.7 NSS/3.12.9.0 zlib/1.2.3 libidn/1.18 libssh2/1.2.2     > Host: rohitnair.info     > Accept: */*     >       **long wait** [response]               * Connection #0 to host rohitnair.info left intact     * Closing connection #0          real    1m0.518s     user    0m0.003s     sys 0m0.011s      As can be seen, the server takes more than a minute to return the response. The stack is wordpress + nginx and hosted on Amazon EC2. I've also noticed that the request does not show up in the nginx access log till the response is served or the request is cancelled (not sure if this is expected behavior) I'm completely lost as to what could be causing this issue. Any help would be much appreciated!


Google keeps indexing /comment/reply URL

With the new update of Google algorithm called Penguin, I think my site was being penalized due to webspam. But of course I don't create post which seems to be spam to Google. It is just I think how Google index my site. I found out that Google index the URL of my site like: http://www.example.com/comment/reply/3866/26556 So there are so many comment/reply URL index by Google. I have already added: Disallow: /comment/reply/ Disallow: /?q=comment/reply/ but still Google still index this URL. Any idea how to prevent Google from indexing comments?


Redirecting broken links (from external site)

Migrate content to new domain without 301 redirects

I have a domain name http://extreme-java.com purchased from one.com and pointing to my web hosting account at anhosting.com I want to move the content of this website to http://somenewdomain.com registered at godaddy.com by making the new domain point to the same web hosting account. Just planning to close the extreme-java domain as it has got a lot of spam backlinks. As per google guidelines about migrating content, they suggest 301 redirects from current domain to get the juice but is it necessary to use 301 redirect in my case as I simply want to dump the extreme-java domain Pls advise.


Getting around US law

Let's suppose that someone is interested in starting a website that might be in violation of some US laws (such as copyright, gambling, pornography, etc.). I know this question isn't in the best taste, so I can understand if it is closed or deleted. Please consider, however, that not everything against US law is considered immoral or unethical to some people. I was reading how many online poker services are based in the Cayman Islands to get around US law. Are there other countries with good hosting services to avoid prosecution by US law? Many laws enforceable in the US are also enforceable in many other jurisdictions (copyright for one), so it would be interesting to know if there are safe havens for sensitive websites.


When is a page considered loaded by search engines so I can enhance it without a page-speed penalty?

I'm working on a website that has some high quality images that need to load. Of course, my goal is to get the site to load as quickly as possible so we don't slow down the user experience and I don't take a page rank hit for being a slow loading website. I'd like to initially load a low quality version of the pictures so the page loads quickly and then enhance them with a second wave of downloads using JavaScript after the page has completely loaded. I know I can detect when the page has loaded using jQuery ready() but I want to make sure Google considers the page loaded before I start enhancing things. I'm worried that if I keep adding content with ready(), Google will think the page load is still happening and penalize me for a slowly loading page. So, another way to ask this question is "When does Google consider the page loaded and when can I start adding more elements without Google thinking it's still part of the initial page load?"


Why is Verisign spidering my website?

In my logs, I keep noticing that `69.58.178.57`, which is Verisign, is spidering through every page on my website, excluding pages of forms. Does anybody know why they are doing this?


Make my website dynamically loaded data available to Facebook Open Graph Object Scrapper

Here is the design of my web site:   1. The user enter `myWebsite.com/a/1`   2. .htaccess rules redirect to `myWebsite.com/b`   3. Now the JavaScript ExtJS library is loading.   4. Extracting the value from the URL (in this case it is “1”)   5. Loading `./xml/1.xml`   6. From `1.xml` setting the Open Graph data (Title, type, image, etc)   7. Loading data that will be shown to the user from `1.xml` into the website. My question is: How can I make the Open Graph data available to Facebook? Facebook do not to load my ExtJS JavaScript Library before extracting the Open Graph Object values from the HTML. Is there an easy solution to this problem? The only solutions I found is to make statics web pages or dynamically pages rendered on the server side but I would like to avoid these since my web page implementation is already finished and I would like to avoid re working on it.

Can a redirect (and then redirect back) to check to see if users are logged-in hurt SEO?

I have a SaaS product which is hosted under several different domains. However, there is one company that manages all these domains. They asked for a system to be able to login at `domain1.com` and automatically be logged in at `domain2.com` etc. We implemented this feature using a central CAS server. However the solution requires a redirect (once only) to the CAS server domain to check if the user is logged in. Here is an example of the trace:   1. `www.example.com text/html 301` - permanent redirect (without `www`)   2. `example.com text/html 302` - temporary redirect (to check if user logged in via CAS server domain)   3. `login.cas-server.com/login text/html 303` - redirect again since action is complete here    4. `example.com text/html 200`   5. ...rest of page resources loads all OK `text/html 200` The problem we have noticed is that it appears traffic to the site has started to drop since we implemented this. My question is does the above practice hurt SEO and if so is there a way to tell search engine bots that we need to perform this redirect first (and to ignore it)? Is another redirect code better to use (perhaps 307)?


Best way to stop a country dropdown from affecting google SEO

We have a site that contains a "sign up" form in the sidebar in most pages. This signup contains a dropdown of countries, the contents of which are being indexed by google and affecting our sites SEO. Is there any recommended way to resolve this. As far as I can tell the options are: 1) Make the dropdown load dynamically via javascript (not an option for us since we need to work for non-jsj clients) 2) Take the signup form, stick it in its own page, and include that page in an iframe instead. This way, google will index that seperate file once only and so the country dropdown options should not be ranked so highly. Are there other options? Thanks


How do I monitor if SEO tags on my site changed during active development?

I work for a website that undergoes active development, with many production pushes per day. We are heavily SEO-dependent, and as our pages are being changed frequently by devs, we're always worried that an accidental change occurs to our page markup that negatively impacts SEO. Are there tools out there that monitor this (changes to SEO-related markup), and notify you if a change occurs?

Let tester directly click on web site to report bugs, similar to bugherd?

I'm doing website User Testing and want them to report issues by clicking on web site and type text into a comment box. Similar to diigo.com or bugherd.com Bugherd is designed for this but it is still at an early stage -- too unstable for our production use as of Aug 2011. (Very impressive, though.) Diigo is not designed for bug tracking. It kind of works but I can't really integrate with our bug-fixing workflow. Apart from the obvious screenshot->save image->upload image to a bug tracker, are there ways to allow our users to easily point-and-click and input bugs?


When to switch to a CDN?

I have read about CDNs and what they do. The question I have is three fold.   1. **When should you start to use a CDN?** My site is small currently and do not see the need for a CDN but is there a general threshold that once crossed I should switch to a CDN? (Like say I have 2,000 visitors a day).   2. **When you do switch to a CDN what should you put on the CDN?** Just external JavaScript? All images? Some images? What are some general guides for what content goes onto the CDN and what should stay on your server?   3. **Does use of a CDN affect SEO and how?**


Converting web.config from IIS6 to IIS7 format

I'm a bit stuck, kinda been lumbered with a website developed over a year ago. The company that designed it and the company that own it dont now speak so I have been lumbered with trying to get it to work. Bought the web space and have loaded it on to one of our sub domains while I get it working. Problem is that the Hosting provider is running ISS7 and the _web.config_ was designed in IIS6 so am getting an error500 cause the tags are wrong. Could anyone give me some pointers on how to migrate the current web.config file over to IIS7.


Web Email Configuration

This is my first time of doing email configuration and cpanel in general. I will be happy to provide any information that you might need. Thank you


How to block malicious requests before they reach Apache?

I have a RESTful web service that gets hit by a large number of requests coming from various IPs with dummy logins and random inputs. I have already denied these requests at the HTTP level (using the Apache config file) so they get a 403 response. However, it's still an annoyance seeing them pop up in the Apache log file, and they also consume some resources. Is it possible to drop the packets completely? Do I have to do this using iptables? What other ways are there to alleviate this issue?


Preventing adult content in a forum

I'm working on a forum that allows images attached to the posts and **doesn't require registration**. Thing is, I'd like to provide a work-safe navigation option in which the posts with porn images attached aren't shown. The ideas I've come up with are:   * Making the work-safe option the default and treating _all_ posts with images attached as pornographic, and making them visible only if the user "unchecks" it.   * Making all posts with images attached not work-safe by default and   changing their status to work-safe _only after a moderator approved_   it. Only then they would be visible if the user has the "work-safe" option checked. Does anyone else have an idea? Also, how the big web services deal with this? (YouTube, CraigsList, even StackExchange). By the way, I don't think that "nudity detector" libraries are accurate and they give plenty of false positives and negatives. Thanks!


Geotargeting based SEO problem

I have a website and it redirects users to their corresponding U.S. states page if they are in the U.S. region. For example, if I am in New York and I go to the website the page automatically redirected me to `domainname.com/newyork`. If I am from India, it opens the home page and asks me to select the state. So for `domainname.com`, if I search for this website on Google, it shows `domainname.com/california` as a home page. How can I rectify this? I want `domainname.com` as the home page for search engines.


Forum vs Q&A system

I would like to know what are the parameters that I have to take into consideration before deciding whether I should incorporate to a website a "Q&A system" or a traditional forum ? I think forums allow better search capabilities (you can easily dig out old posts) over the "Q&A system", but the latter offer simpler / faster interaction between the users and the site owners. I should add that only a few people (site owners + authorized people) could answer the questions, the user will be on a read-only basis. Anyone can help me decide between the two solutions ? Thank you in advance NB: There is also the impact on the SEOs, are they the same for forums and Q&A systems?

1&1 booting policy

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


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

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

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

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


Schema or Data Vocabulary microdata for breadcrumbs?

Google and other SEs support **schema.org** for marking up structured data, but it turns out that _for breadcrumbs_ Google recommends using **data- vocabulary.org** instead. Which should we use for having breadcrumbs appear in search results? ![Breadcrumb rich snippet example in Google SERP](http://i.stack.imgur.com/PRcRL.png) I noticed that there are issues with the Schema markup for breadcrumbs, so does that mean it's best not to use it for now? The code suggested in each is slightly different — so changing from one to the other site-wide in the future could be a nuisance:   ## Schema                    ...

What is a good solution for UA testing multiple projects simultaneously?

My client often has several projects/tasks going at once that sometimes need to be tested simultaneously on one website. They are often separate applications on the website, but sometimes share UDFs, etc. We currently have 3 public-facing environment websites - i.e. dev.website.com, test.website.com, and www.website.com. As the programmer, I'm trying to find a good solution to allow for UA testing of multiple projects/tasks at once. Currently, I'm finding myself switching between code branches (using SubVersion). What some of my options?


Duplicate content from a website still indexed by Google

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


Archiving web content annually. One site or sites by year?

I run scientific conferences and over the past 15 years have amassed tens of thousands of abstracts, videos, and digital posters from presentations. Over the last couple of years we've started creating specific sites to hold that year's conference data for pre-meeting marketing purposes, e.g.   * conference2012.org   * conference2011.org   * etc. But now my clients are asking that their entire archives be made public on the web. The actual work involved in doing this is trivial but I can't decide what is the best way to structure it. Should I have one large site (conference.org) and load all of the content into it using the year as a top-level category or should I continue to work backwards by year (conferenceYEAR.org)? What is the best from a user-experience standpoint? From an SEO standpoint?


How do I register a domain name, but keep who I am secret?

Over the years I've seen a number of owner proxy services, but have never used one, and have no idea if they work; or for that matter if there's any legal risk to using them, such as making easier to lose the domain, or drawing the attention of someone for some reason. Also, clearly, there's also the risk of losing the trust of users of the site, but for now, I'm okay with that.

How can I install a module in Plone 4.0.5?

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


HostGator hosting account and DNS servers

I have a hosting package on HostGator on domain `example.com` I also got a VPS server from Digital Ocean and have setup the DNS Details on the server there (A Record pointing on DO server IP with `@` as hostname) and have also setup the DNS Servers on my domain DNS Settings which is hosted on HostGator. All seem okay right now... It's been 3-4 hours I think till I made these changes and when I point to `example.com` I still get on the active hosting package files instead of the server files. Do I need to cancel the hosting package first before I can make this work? **EDIT:** If I'm in the wrong site please move it to the correct one.


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

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


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

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


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

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


IIS 7: Masking real domain

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


Amazon web service to get purchase data

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


Google showing description from iframe on a page

I have facebook login on my page and I recently noted that google search result shows up a fb's warning message in the site description, fb's javascript plugin adds a iframe to the page for FB login which has the content shown in the image inside its body tag. How do I get rid of the waring message on google? ![enter image description here](http://i.stack.imgur.com/QZzmC.png)


Multiple domains but one report in Google Analytics?

I'd like to generate a report for a dozen or so websites with different domains. Example:   * `myfirstsite.com`   * `acoolsite.com`   * `brandsite.com`   * etc. I am obviously able to generate reports for each URL, but how can I generate a master report using Google Analytics that summarizes all the traffic from all the websites?


Sitemap file linked from another Sitemap file

I currently have a site setup that, in addition to regular static pages, also has a WordPress blog. This results in my main site having a sitemap.xml file listing the basic pages and then a sitemap for the WordPress blog posts. I understand that I could create a sitemap_index file and point to each of the sitemap files, but would it be possible to just link to the WordPress sitemap from my regular sitemap file? For instance:               <urlset xmlns="http://www.sitemaps.org/schemas/sitemap/0.9" xmlns:video="http://www.google.com/schemas/sitemap-video/1.1">     <url>         <loc>https://www.example.com/wordpress_sitemap.xml</loc>         <changefreq>weekly</changefreq>         <lastmod>2013-04-30T14:10:03+00:00</lastmod>         <priority>1.0</priority>     </url>


How can I redirect port 80 to a different port with Apache?

I have tomcat running on port 8080 and want a particular URL, lets say `http://example.com/app`, to actually point to `example.com:8080/app` I have other content on the website that should remain unchanged.


Changing registration to Private/ Anonymous with .co.uk domains

I have a domain which I have registered in my own name and address. Is there anyway that I can make this private? I am currently using GoDaddy. I have seen 123-reg offer a private registration when you register a new domain.


Common Header & Footer for HTML Site

I'm about to re-work an old HTML-based site and would like to separate out the header and footer of the content into separate files as they'll be common to all pages. The current site author just copied their index.html page and replaced the body text for each subsequent page, making changes to the menu and such a huge maintenance pain. I could go the Server Side Includes (SSI) route and include a header file and a footer file into each page to strip out the common content, but that would require that I rename all files with the *.shtml extension right? Any other options for doing the header & footer file inclusion without modifying the existing extensions (no dynamic content in the site, so going php or asp etc is not warranted). (note: running IIS 7.5 as the web server)


Does anyone know how to block Evony?

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


How to show Fixture on Google search result

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


Is it a bad idea to use multiple analytic packages?

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


Keep header across sites

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


Multi Regional Webmaster Tools Targeting

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


Do search engines index a rich snippet data from HTML which is not visible?

I want to add some piece of data to rich snippets (for example, breadcrumps), but this information is not visible on the page (for example, because the designer has not yet prepared the sketches) Is there a way to tell search engines to index this data?


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

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


Can embedding a content from another website be considered as a violation of copyright law?

I would like to embed a content from another website (a webcam object) to my website. Can it be considered as a violation of copyright law? Both my website and the embedded are within EU. There is no copyright claim at the website I'd like to embed.


Why do different browsers return different search results at Google and how can I prevent it?

I am running some websites and am constantly checking keywords' rankings on google.com. And it is really important for us to see the organic search result without logging in or setting a specific location. Since this morning my colleague and I have checked the same ranking on both IE and firefox, the result surprisingly is very different (it almost feel like IE was logged in because the ranking is much higher, while in reality it is not). I have changed computer and the same problem occurred. It did not happen before. Can anyone tell me why is it?


URL rewritten pages take much longer to load

(Same issue as http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3987754/how-to-diagnose- htaccess-speed-issues-via-rewritelog but more clearly explained below) We have a site which has scripts like this:               http://www.oursite.com/abcd/somescript.php      We also have URL rewritten pages like this:               http://www.oursite.com/abcd/events/Anything/Anything/abc/abc.html      All of these share 90% same content in terms of js, css, and image files. But the URL rewritten pages are extra-ordinary slow to load. Similarly, clicking on ANY link within such a page which leads to another such page is also very slow! It strongly looks like that the browser is reloading the page completely and not using the cached images which should be present on the browser. I turned on RewriteLog (at level 2) in Apache's httpd.conf and it shows the below when I:   1. Accessed the homepage at: www.example.com/abcd/   2. Clicked on the link to browse categories   3.

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

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


Any suggestion on MySQL services?

I would like to separate my production server into 2, one for running code, the other one is for DB, which is MySQL. Is there any suggestion if I would like to subscribe a MySQL service? I have few applications need such standalone database service. So I would like to a service which allow me to create as many database as I want. Thanks everyone. :)


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

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


Link to Youtube video via middleman website - SEO perspective

It would be great to hear some opinions on my issue. I have WordPress website and YouTube channel. I would like to put links to my YouTube videos on some other websites. I am wondering if it is good (bad?) idea to share links that points to page on my website, and then through WordPress plugin the website seamlessly redirects user to YouTube video. So basically is it better (from SEO perspective) to share this kind of link: `http://example.com/dogs-video` (301 redirect to YouTube) or `http://youtube.com/dogs-video`? I was thinking that sharing videos through links pointing to my website would result in more external services pointing to my site and finally higher Google Search position. Any help is very appreciated. Cheers, Luke


What does a complete rebrand/focus change do for a domains SEO?

I have a client that launched a webstore a while back and for example, lets say he sold apples on it and the domain was called www.fruit.com The webstore is not doing so well so he has decided to do a whole website rebrand, and change his product focus to selling oranges instead of apples. The thing is that he likes the domain www.fruit.com and wants to keep that. My question is what will that mean for all of the SEO that was previously done for the original www.fruits.com that sold apples. There are many external links pointing to www.fruits.com to satisfy their "apple" needs, but now he is selling oranges. Is this a problem that will eventually go away as new links focusing on "oranges" start to proliferate the internet? Any insight into this would be greatly appreciated.


xampp not working with DynDNS

My setup consists of:   * a XAMPP 1.7.7 installation, with Apache configured to listen to port `8080`   * dyn.com to make the projects accessible from the web ( `8080` shows up as 'open' when checking with http://www.yougetsignal.com/tools/open-ports )   * various PHP/Ajax/etc projects stored in folders inside `xampp/htdocs`. Ex: `xampp/htdocs/crypt`   * the `xampp` folder, phpMyAdmin and MySQL are password-protected When trying to access any of the projects using dyn.dns URLs ( `http://mydomain.dyndns-ip.com/crypt` ), I get a web page with something like > Object Not Found   >  The requested URL '/crypt' was not found on the RomPager server. Adding the port number ( `http://mydomain.dyndns-ip.com:8080/crypt` ) will result in "The connection has timed out" pages. _However_ , all the projects work when loaded with a localhost URL ( `http://localhost:8080/crypt/` ). Other issues:   * accessing the root dyn.com URL asks me to log in to my router   * when clicking the "Admin" button for Apache on the XAMPP control panel, it opens `http://localhost/xampp/` - instead of `http://localhost:8080/xampp/` I think this might have something to do with password-protecting the `xampp` folder, but there doesn't seem to any automatic way of "undo"-ing the security changes, and I don't know how to do that manually. Any pointers in troubleshooting this issue would be appreciated.

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


How long is the redemption period on a domain?

There is a domain that I would like to buy that has a status as follows: Registry Status: redemptionPeriod I presume this means the current owner has a grace period during which they can repurchase the domain but it is not available on the open market. How long is this period?


What affect does having two URLs pointing to the same path have on SEO?

I have two URLs: `http://ent.example.com` and `http://www.example.com/ent/`. Both of them are mapped to my server path `/www/ent`. I am very confused, how would this affect my SEO as far as Google is concerned? If two URLs are pointing to the same path, would Google consider this cheating?


How to obtain a visuap sitemap of a website?

I wish to analyse a certain website before quoting for a job to rebuild it (I am not a developer but a project manager). I can download the xml sitemap quite easily from a site such as this one: http://www.web-site-map.com/, but I am not able to read or understand this output. Ideally I would love to be able to see this as a visual sitemap tree. Does anyone know if this kind of thing is possible, and how to do it if so?


Analysing traffic sources in Analytics for Magento sales

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


Combining a content management system with ASP.NET

I am going to be creating a site that seems like it requires a blend of a content management system (CMS) and some custom web development (which is done in ASP.NET MVC). I have plenty of web development experience to understand the ASP.NET MVC side of the fence, but, I don't have a lot of CMS knowledge aside from getting one stood up. Right now my biggest question is around integrating security from ASP.NET with the CMS. I currently have an ASP.NET MVC site that handles the authentication for multiple production sites and creates an authentication cookie under our domain (*.example.com). The page acts like a single sign on page since the cookie is a wildcard and can be used in any other applications of the same domain. I'd really like to avoid having users put in their credentials twice. Is there a CMS that will play well with the ASP.NET Forms Authentication given how I have these existing applications structured? As an aside, right now I am leaning towards Drupal, but, that isn't finalized.


301 Redirect HTML Pages

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

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


Trouble with images in phppgAdmin on my Nginx VPS

this is my first time using Nginx or phppgAdmin, and after placing the phppgadmin folder into my public_html folder I find that the resources for the phppgadmin page are broken, images and css specifically. phppgAdmin runs and works with postgresql/php on my system, but without images or css it becomes difficult to use.

Moving Website From CMS

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


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

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


Where does Google pull the results for the define operator

Google has a define: operator which provides a list of definitions for a given word. Where does Google pull those definitions from? i.e. what does Google look for on a page to determine that that page is a definition for a word? (This has been discussed a number of times on Webmaster World but nobody has come up with an answer yet.)


Creating an online community - use templates or self-develop?

**PHPMotion, Joomla or develop my own?** I'm thinking of developing a common interest online community. It will be have UGC, stats, etc.. functionality, and perhaps an online store. Though cost is an issue at this time, I want to be professional and effective.   1. Should I use existing free platform templates, like PHP, Joomla, or should I develop my own?   2. What are the advantages/disadvantages of either option?   3. As a rough estimate, how much will it cost me to develop and manage my own? And how long will it take.   4. In general what should I be careful about on this journey?


Is there any way to invalidate all memcache entries that begin with "User*"?

I recently made a change to my User class (which is memcached); is there any way I can invalidate all entries whose key begins with `User` without invalidating the entire cache? If not are there any workarounds? I would rather not delete everything.

Do Search Engines Crawlers Read CSS?

Making something **bold** makes it more important for search engine ranking and even improves readability for humans. To get the search engine ranking benefit, do we need to use `<b>` or `<strong>` tag or are CCS rules to do this recognized? **In other words, do search engine crawlers actually read and apply CSS when analyzing content?**

Website not showing in Google search

I have a site hosted at Brinkster and all keywords are there, but I still can't get it to show up in a Google search. I thought if I searched for it by domain name, it would show up in the Google search results. Can anyone explain why it's not showing up?


Transfer ownership of abandoned Google Analytics account

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


php wallet system

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


How do webmasters store and keep track of their passwords

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


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

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


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

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