How Do I Upload Pages To The Server?

I've heard of FTP but I'm not exactly sure how to use it. What's the best way to get pages from my computer to the server?


Nowadays, we know SMO by using Google+ (and Facebook, Twitter...) is good for SEO and ranking in SERP. Then, I would like to use Google+ to optimize my new website SEO but I don't know how can I begin to use it. I already associate my website with my Google+ profile to get my face in SERP of Google and it works fine. But now?   I suppose I should make a community grow around my website. Should I begin a blog with relevant texts, images etc. for visitors and link all my blog posts with my Google+ profile? How can I use Google+ to optimize my new website SEO? All suggestion can be useful.


How to remove a cache of a page with an offline photo within a website using Google Content Removal tool?

By using Google's Content Removal page, I could put in a request for removal, for example if a page is no longer online, changed or now gone, and submit it by **entering a word that no longer appears in the online page**. My question is: how could I submit a **photo** to be removed that is no longer available on the online page? I could still reverse image search a photo and it is still shown in Google search results. Clarification: I'm trying to remove cached page results of some websites using reverse image search. I have the now deleted (offline) url of the old picture from these sites. I don't know how to use the Google Content Removal tool because usually for these cache removals you type in a **word that is no longer on the online page** , but in my scenario it's **a photo I'm trying to convey is no longer on the page.** So what should I type in when Google asks me to enter a word that's not on the online page? Here's screen shot as requested: ![enter image description here](http://i.stack.imgur.com/v7Xzp.jpg)

How to load the WordPress themes correctly in my local host?

I have a new customer that has send me a WordPress project. So to install the project it in my local machine, I have created a virtual host like the one below in my machine. So I can access like this `http://barraquete/index.php` to the content.               <VirtualHost *:80>       ServerName barraquete            SetEnv MYAPP_ENV dev            DocumentRoot /home/tirengarfio/workspace/barraquete/archivos       <Directory /home/tirengarfio/workspace/barraquete/archivos>           # Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews           AllowOverride None           #Order allow,deny           #allow from all           Require all granted           <IfModule mod_mime.c>               Addtype font/truetype .ttf               AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE text/html text/plain text/xml text/css font/opentype font/truetype           </IfModule>           <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>               Options -MultiViews                    RewriteEngine On               #RewriteBase /path/to/app               RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f               RewriteRule ^ index.php [QSA,L]           </IfModule>           <IfModule mod_expires.c>               ExpiresActive On           ExpiresDefault "access plus 10 days"           ExpiresByType text/css "access plus 1 week"           ExpiresByType text/plain "access plus 1 month"           ExpiresByType image/gif "access plus 1 month"           ExpiresByType image/png "access plus 1 month"           ExpiresByType image/jpeg "access plus 1 month"           ExpiresByType application/x-javascript "access plus 1 month"           ExpiresByType application/javascript "access plus 1 week"           ExpiresByType application/x-icon "access plus 1 year"           </IfModule>         </Directory>     </VirtualHost>      When I load the `index.php` I get the content of the page, but the `.css` files are not loaded.. These are the kind of URLs:               http://localhost:8888/barra-web/wp-content/themes/enfold/css/base.css?ver=1      So what should I do to get the themes correctly?


Does Google index images in anything other than an img tag?

I was thinking of making a 'load on scroll' image gallery plugin, i.e. I do not want the image to load until it is in view in the viewport. That got me thinking in terms of implementation. I don't want to use markup that would mean that the images were not indexed by Google, but the question is, what can you do? You can't have img tags but then stop the files from being loaded because that defeats the purpose completely. You could not care about the markup and use `image site maps` instead, but that makes life harder for the person using the plugin. **What, if anything, can one do?**


Do all pages have to be added to XML Sitemaps?

I'm planning to add an XML Sitemap to a client's existing website. According to this, it will help define the difference between the root website (aimed at UK) and the US website (aimed at the United States) and a few other languages/locales. Is it enough to add only this to the sitemap or will Google punish me for not adding all pages in there? The content changes quite often and we don't have a way to deal with updating the XML regularly at this point. Also the existing content is well indexed on Google already, it's just the concern about multiple pages in English that's behind this.


Selling my primary GoDaddy domain. Recommendations on how not to not break things?

My father and I are selling our family business and with it, our domain name. We are not selling the website or the hosting itself. The domain and is registered AND hosted on GoDaddy, with one subdomain and a number of other domains hosted under that account. We are only selling/tranferring the primary domain. In addition, we have a secondary domain name which is currently redirected to the primary. What I'd like to do is:   * Unlock `Mopedepot.com` so it is ready to transfer. I have done this.   * Get the transfer key ready. I believe I have this too   * Get anything else ready that might be needed. (Unknown)   * Transfer the domain without breaking any of the existing sub sites I have   * Set up `50cccycle.com` as my primary domain   * For a time, have email send to `mopedepot.com` sent to both domains until all of the incoming email stuff has been updated. Any suggestions or gotchas I should be aware of?


Apache Rewrite to folder no longer working after server upgrade

The following were both working perfectly for the last 2 years but after a server upgrade the first, with an extra folder is no longer working:               RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.mayoaccommodation\.com$ [OR]     RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^mayoaccommodation\.com$     RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.mayo-ireland.ie/accommodation/$1  [P]          RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.mayobb\.com$ [OR]     RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^mayobb\.com$     RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.mayo-ireland.ie/accommodation_bb.htm [P]      Has there been a change in the rewrite module?


Weebly Websites SEO

From what I understand Weebly uses the drag and drop interface and even when looking at the code, it doesn't show the full content, but rather shows {content} which is where the drag and drop parts of the content are put. Does their drag and drop content, such as text have the same effect as a `<p>` or `<h1>` tag would on a website? Is the weebly drag and drop less optimized for SEO? Does using Weebly have an adverse affect on SEO compared with building from scratch if I do include keywords, alternate text etc...?


Static Sidebar on All Pages - Harm SEO

I have a static sidebar on all pages of my website which I made completely myself (it's not a widget or WordPress feature) so I don't see how Google would distinguish it from any other part of the content. Will that harm my SEO considering I have duplicate content on all pages?


New Google SEO benefit with SSL - with only a few sections in SSL, or always on?

Google just announced that SSL will affect site ranking positively: http://googlewebmastercentral.blogspot.se/2014/08/https-as-ranking-signal.html I have an Easter Island tourist agency called Easter Island Traveling for which I had planned doing a subdomain (secure.*) for doing sales, logins etc. Now, does Google want my SSL to be on for all of my site to have this SEO benefit? This would be quite radical by Google, since it would affect my site speed negatively. Or is it enough that I have SSL on a part of the site only? Thoughts?


Should we share articles written for SEO purpose on social media and other social bookmarking websites

2013. Do I need to care about HTML entities?

I'm wondering if I should go out of my way and replace all chars like `ÜÖÄ` on my site. I understand that PHP can get these wrong, but is there an actual reason, why I need to put them out as HTML codes, even on pure `.html` sites? Basically what is there to gain, and should I care? Also is it possible that not using or using them has SEO implications?


How does Googlebot crawl a webpage?

Today I had a silly fight with my colleague. My friend told me, "Googlebot crawls a web page only through the links present in webpage or through the number of page views (by text ads)." But I argued, "Googlebot can crawl the webpage even if we don't submit a _sitemap.xml_ in Google Webmaster Tools or don't have any links in the page. That is, Googlebot can crawl the page without any external force, it would automatically visit the page and crawl it." What's the exact answer? Please inform me of any other factors involved.


ASP.NET MVC SEO friendly URLs and Sitemap

I've created an ASP.NET MVC 3 application and generated sitemap.xml using some free online tools.   It contains the following URLs:               http://www.mydomain/     http://www.mydomain/About     http://www.mydomain/Portfolio     http://www.mydomain/Contact     http://www.mydomain/Sitemap      But when I uploaded sitemap.xml to Google Webmaster tools, I got these numbers:               URLs submitted: 5     URLs in web index: 1      Do I have to change http://www.mydomain/About to http://www.mydomain/About/ in order to get all URLs into the web index or..?


Google is displaying "Translate this page" based on a previously registered domain inbound links

I recently started a new project with a newly registered generic tld domain. As soon as Google started indexing the page, it displayed a "translate this page" in SERP's, which tries to translate the page to the language of a small Eastern European country from the language that the site actually uses. I tried everything to prevent this: language meta headers and attributes, localisation through Google Webmaster Tools...all to no avail - nothing helped. After a couple of weeks I spotted dozens of inbound links popping up in Google Webmaster Tools all coming from that small Eastern European country, from sub- pages that are not active anymore (either sending out 404's or 301's to the main page), and also had been written in that other language. So the domain had been registered before and as it looks, it did got a lot of possibly spam links in that language. I can't even ask the sites where those links should have been to remove them as they are not active anymore physically, just in Google Webmaster Tools and/or internal data masses... Now I'm at a loss about what to do? As my site is pretty new, it does not have many links pointing towards it in my targeted language. So those are probably not enough to convince Google of attaching the right language to it as Google ignores all other signals about the page language. I'm also unsure if I should use the "disavow" tool, or a reconsideration request...or what else to do about this miserable state. I never used these tools before so I don't have any experience with them. Somehow I have to convince Google about the right language of the page and also to not count/apply/whatever all those historical links from the previous owner. (The domain had been deleted without any traces in Google before I registered it) Has anyone here ever dealt with a similar "Translate this page" problem? (I've also looked at this thread: How can I prevent Google mistakenly offering to translate a page? but didn't find a solution there)


CSS color marked as invalid by code inspector

On this page, there is a "read more..." link towards the end of the page, enclosed in `<span id="s-hpi"></span>` There is CSS:               #s-hpi {       color: 0000FF;       cursor: hand;     }      but Chrome code inspector says both these rules are invalid. Why? Thanks.


Long user agent field in HTTP header

I have a HTTP sniffer application which runs on C++ , when I am getting the user agent field I get something like :               Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW655970812; fr=0ea2JbE8UfOtMxCAb.AWUSc_K0DPt0NpgvgWvZVDCZzug.BSHX4S.8d.FIo.AWUtAj4s; xs=1%3AFOApj11sTU3NXA%3A0%3A1378405752%3A6395; sub=128; p=129; act=1378934556224%2F153; presence=EM378935116EuserFA21655970812A2EstateFDsb2F1378934519166Et2F_5b_5dElm2FnullEuct2F1378934511240EtrFA2close_5fescA2Etwlocale=tr_TR; c_user=1655970812; fr=0ea2JbE8UfOtMxCAb.AWUSc_K0DPt0NpgvgWvZVDCZzug.BSHX4S.8d.FIo.AWUtAj4s; xs=1%3AFOApj11sTU3NXA%3A0%3A1378405752%3A6395; sub=128; p=129; act=1378934556224%2F153; presence=EM378935116EuserFA21655970812A2EstateFDsb2F1378934519166Et2F_5b_5dElm2FnullEuct2F1378934511240EtrFA2close_5fescA2EtwF4219503720EatF1378934899190EwmlFDfolderFA2inboxA2Ethread_5fidFA2user_3a626679213A2CG378935116367CEchFDp_5f1655970812F195CC      This doesn't happens often, but still enough to cause problems in my customer's database. It seems for sure I need to make a sanity check while getting this field and after getting this field. My question if the user agent information above somehow meaningful. If not what might be the cause for such strange user agent field in request header.


How to prevent webpages translated with Google Translate Plugin from being indexed?

I've been reading the information here https://support.google.com/translate/#2534535 about the Google Translate plugin. At first I thought that if I used the plugin my site wouldn't be indexed, but then I can see that the following quote > The automatically translated version of your web page will not be indexed by > search engines. is actually referring to Google Translate and not the plugin....or at least that's what I think. **QUESTIONS**   1. I'd like to confirm whether or not websites that use the Google Translate Plugin are indexed.   2. If the answer is yes, then I'd like to know how to stop these translated pages from being indexed. I've read that you can use robots.txt to prevent it, but I'd really like to see an example of how to implement this- I'm confused as to what the translated url would be. **EDIT** Just to be clear, I don't want the translated content to be indexed. I still want the original content to be indexed!!!


Software for Managing Subscriptions to Website Content?

Can you recommend a package that allows me to manage subscriptions to certain content on my website (not necessarily displayable) based on payment levels? Ideally, the software would allow logging in using both site-specific registration _and_ PayPal/Facebook/Twitter/MyOpenId, etc. Preferably, it would also be open source, LAMP-based. One idea that I have in mind is hacking a shopping cart software like Zen-Cart but this may be an overkill if a non-shopping lighter-weight package exists.


Placing likes, pluses and other social sharing things on the pages where they not likely to be used

I just checked the pages from best-of-industry sites and not all of them has lots of likes, pluses and so on. I reasonably expect that the pages of my site will have even less. I can expect that the null (or very little of) likes can be a bed signal to Google and Co and it would be better to skip it at all on the pages where users not really will use this signals. Any thoughts?


Search Engine Friendly URLs with Query String

I have content that can be accessed from various ways. For example my content is **reviews** and I have three type of reviews:               /customer-reviews/11/slug.html     /third-party-reviews/11/slug.html     /products/99/reviews/11/slug.html      Another example would be **products** which can be viewed in ways:               /products/11/index.html     /categories/99/products/11/index.html     /suppliers/99/products/11/index.html      The thing to note is that that each set of pages is fed from single table (reviews and products respectively). Now most websites have single URL for same piece of content regardless of the "view". E.g. Christian Bale's IMDB profile is `http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000288/` whether you were looking at The Dark Knight's cast or looking for popular people born on January 30. So for my website I plan to use URLs like these:               /reviews/11/slug.html?view=customer     /reviews/11/slug.html?view=third-party     /reviews/11/slug.html?view=products&id=99          /products/11/index.html?view=     /products/11/index.html?view=categories&id=99     /products/11/index.html?view=suppliers&id99      Depending on the view parameter, I'll show a "breadcrumb" that takes the user back to where he came from and provide some kind of visual indication of the hierarchy hierarchy. Is this good or bad approach. And is there a better solution?


Web server specifications for online Text-based web game

I am developing an **online text-based game** similar to Mafia wars. Of course I won't expect 20 million players on my site, but I want to choose a web server that is suitable for me. I am a complete amateur when it comes to hosting a website. I need the minimum specifications for a web server to host my game. Let's say about **12000 users** will register to my website and I expect **1000 users** to be online at any given time. Since it's a game you would expect **many database transactions and Ajax calls** in which speed will prove essential. So what should I ask for in a web server **(processor, storage, bandwidth,...etc.)** and their values. Thanks in advance. PS: I use PHP (zend framework) on a mysql database + JQuery and CSS3.

If you unknown the name, any other recommendations will be appreciated. Thanks in advance.


Permanent redirect domain to www subdomain without web.config

I've just set up a site via 1and1 and have run into an issue, I want to accomplish the simple task of redirecting the root domain to the `www` sub domain however due to complications I cant seam to find a way to get it to work. I'm on a Microsoft (asp.net) package so can't use _.htaccess_ , also the IIS server they have doesn't have the URL redirect module installed (so can't use `<rewrite>` in web.config). They have built in HTTP forwarding options however if I set the root domain to redirect to the `www` sub domain it just infinitely redirects. Hopefully there is some obvious option/method I've missed during the past two days of searching!


Site has propagated on all browsers except Chrome?

I've switched a sites nameservers to a new host with a new site. This has worked fine on FireFox and Safari but Chrome still shows the old site. Obviously I have cleared the cache but the problem persists. Would anyone know what Chrome is propagating slower then other browsers on the same machine?


Move domain away from a host while leaving the Exchange email service unaffected

I currently have a domain registered with Fasthosts and are using their Exchange email service on this domain. For various reasons I would like to move the domain registration to another domain host, but I want to leave the Exchange email service on Fasthosts operational. I know I can do it from scratch with the domain being hosted elsewhere, but I'm concerned that if I move the domain away then all associated services will be terminated. Is there a way to do this and if so how?


Apache is redirecting all https requests to one vhost

Apache novice here, We run a server with a few dozen vhosted sites, under apache 2.2.22 on ubuntu 12.0.4. None of them had a SSL before. We had a client request one the other day, and shortly after began my issue. I thought I was doing well setting up that client's vhost with ssl. It is rewriting any http request on that domain to port 443 and serving the page on a secure layer. But I realized that any vhost request made with `https://`, is forwarding to the domain that ssl was set up on. All normal http requests are sent properly. **To sum it up**...   We have:                1. www.example1.com      2. www.example2.com      3. www.example3.com      I just set up SSL for `www.example3.com`, but any `https://` request made to `example1.com` or `example2.com`, forward to `https://www.example3.com`. Is there something I need to add to my _httpd.conf_ file to turn off ssl globally, and within the vhost turn it on for the specific domain? Any suggestions will help at this point.


Splitting big CSS file into parts for quicker loading

So I have a relatively big CSS file. I thought about doing the following, splitting it to 3 parts:   * 1st part will have the main selectors that are needed to run on the main page that gets the biggest traffic.   * 2nd part will have CSS for the rest of the pages   * 3rd page will have all the screen size dependent set up intended for mobile devices to have responsive pages I am running my static files off a CDN and I would put each of these parts to a separate subdomain to have them all downloaded faster than one file. Do you think this is a good way of doing that? EDIT: since I didn't make clear, I am using CDN service on subdomains to serve all static content, so there are 5 subdomains that I use and they all are on CDN. Each of them is used to serve a number of files: CSS, JS, JPG, PNG, etc. DNS lookups are being made anyways.


Will multilingual URL fix give me SEO juice?

I'm working on a fairly large site, which has multilingual options, but not correctly implemented: Currently:   * www.example.com/this-is-a-url-of-a-certain-page    * www.example.com/this-is-the-same-url-but-in-a-different-language  Looking into doing this instead:   * www.example.com/en/this-is-a-url-in-a-certain-page    * www.example.com/fr/this-is-the-same-url-but-in-different-language I came up with this structure by doing some best practices research on SEOmoz etc. - now my question is, **will this have an effect on our rankings and how immediate will the effect be** (probably after google has re-crawled the page). **Are there any case studies you know of where a person/company changed the url structure and had good results?**


Does the payment due to the ads placed on our site gets low to some extent due to adblock extensions?

Interpretation of Goals relative to Visits and Pageviews in Google Analytics

I am stumped on some of the data I am seeing. The image below summarizes the data that I am pulling from the API into Tableau. ![enter image description here](http://i.stack.imgur.com/wAq2h.jpg) In GA, we have the URL goal setup for the page shown. I am confused on how the following situation exists:   1. How can 121 visits generate 483 pageviews and 420 goals (unique pageviews)? The way that I interpret the results:   * the url shown was seen over 121 visits but viewed 420 unique times.  I simply don't get how that is possible.


Google Analytics: Disable tracking for country/region

I'm using Google analytics on a small business website from Germany. Today I noticed 86 visitors from Palo Alto on a Sunday. No matter where they come from and why there are visiting the site, they are distorting the statistics. I'm only interested in visitors from Germany. Is there any way to get rid of this traffic sources?


Pipes or colons in HTML title tags?

Other than esthetics, are there any valid reasons to choose pipes vs colons in an HTML `<title>` tag, or vice-versa? Usability? SEO? Example:               <title>Example.com | Top 10 list of stuff</title>      or               <title>Example.com: Top 10 list of stuff</title>


Can't Get a Virtual Host to Work

I can't get a specific virtual host to work. This is the first part of my httpd-vhosts.conf file:               NameVirtualHost *:80          <VirtualHost *:80>         DocumentRoot "/Volumes/Data RAID/htdocs/Symfony/web"         ServerName framework.loc     </VirtualHost>          <VirtualHost *:80>         DocumentRoot "/Volumes/Data RAID/htdocs"         ServerName localhost     </VirtualHost>          <VirtualHost *:80>         DocumentRoot "/Volumes/Data RAID/htdocs/AmColAn"         ServerName amcolan.loc     </VirtualHost>      It's the first one that fails. The others work fine. I can get to index.php using:               http://localhost/symfony/web/index.php      I can't get to it using:               http://framework.loc/index.php      I get redirected to OpenDNS, which I use as my DNS, with the error that it is not loading. This is on OS X 10.8.2. I restart apache every time I change the config. I must be making some sort of bonehead error.

Are 307 Temporary Redirects safe for temporary new web site tests?

Our current site is getting close to being replaced. I was looking to do a test of our new sales funnel on the new site and compare the traffic and conversion ratios for a few days. So I was planning on doing 307 Temporary Redirects from the old site to the new site for a few days and see how the traffic reacts before a hard launch. I've seen some topics online of people doing something similar and being penalized by google can someone tell me if this is a safe way to approach this task? If not are their any alternative ways you would recommend. We are going from a manually coded 2006 website to a new wordpress site all php/MYSQL. Any insights or recommendations welcome.


Options for different domain and hosting

# The situation I have a hosting service (one.com) on which I have installed a wordpress.org site in a subdirectory 'wordpress':               myhost.com/wordpress/      (myhost.com is actually my own domain, but it already has contents and I don't want wordpress/ to appear in the root of that domain.) I want to use a second domain for this site. Thinking I would be able to forward to the wordpress site without problems, I registered the domain at GoDaddy.com:               mydomain.com      # What I want So when my visitors type in mydomaind.com, I want them to see the contents on myhost.com/wordpress/, and the same for all subpages (mydomain.com/a/subpage fetches from myhost.com/wordpress/a/subpage). Just a redirect isn't enough, I want my visitors to see only mydomain.com as their domain. # Some notes   * If I set up forward _with URL masking_ at GoDaddy, they just give a full frame, pointing to myhost.com/wordpress/. This isn't good enough for me, since mydomain.com will always show up in the adress bar, also for subpages (I want mydomain/a/subpage to show in the adress bar for a subpage).   * I believe this could in principle be done with a .htaccess file with URL rewriting, but I have no hosting with GoDaddy so I can't upload such a file there. Hosting with GoDaddy is very expensive (of course) so I don't want to do that.   * I don't think I can use DNS settings; the host of mydomain.com says they don't allow anyone else to point to their name servers.   * If possible, I wouldn't want to re-install the wordpress site, it would take quite some time. I'd prefer to keep it at myhost.com/wordpress/ (if possible)   * Anything involving transferring the domain is supposed to take 5-7 working days. I would need my site up-and-running earlier than that, so I'd like to avoid it if possible. # Am I locked in? As it seems, I am rather locked-in with GoDaddy. I can't use the domain with .htaccess since I can't upload such a file (and won't pay for hosting by GoDaddy). I can't use any of their forward options since none of them do what I want (one just forwards, the one that masks the URL does it with frames). Would you agree? # Possible solutions   * Transfer the domain to any hosting service with reasonable hosting pricing, as opposed to GoDaddy (I'd probably use one.com, the same host as for myhost.com, in that case), and there either     * re-install wordpress on the new account, or     * use .htaccess with URL rewrite on the new account to fetch the contents from myhost.com/wordpress/. Can this be set-up to work with sub-pages as well? And visitors won't ever see "myhost.com/wordpress", just "mydomain.com"? E.i., mydomain.com/a/subpage/ wold fetch from myhost.com/wordpress/a/subpage/?   * This might be a long shot but:     * Find some free (preferrably) hosting allowing to point to their nameservers     * Make DNS settings at GoDaddy so that my domain appears at the site above     * at that site, put a .htaccess file with URL rewriting to forward to myhost.com/wordpress/ Could this be possible? What services could I use in that case? As I see it, this would be the only way not to have to transfer a domain (taking 5-7 working days) _and_ not having to re-install the wordpress site. Sorry for the long question. All info and ideas are welcome.


GA tracking utm query params after hashbang

We currently use a hashbang for the portion of our site that generates dynamic content which can also be deep linked. Our analytics team wants to use utm params to track the referral traffic from social networks. We are using Universal Analytics (analytics.js) as well as GTM. Will GA pick up the query parameters after the hashbang or does it always have to go before? For example:               example.com/#!/some/content?utm_source=foo&utm_campaign=bar     example.com?utm_source=foo&utm_campaign=bar/#!/some/content      In #1, I'm concerned that the utm params won't be recorded and in #2 the page will break or the url could be incorrectly written. How does GA pull in those parameters - location.search? regex? Can I get away with using either?


How to handle moderators effectively?

I've been running/developing browser based games for several years now, and the one complaint I get over and over is that the mods are terrible. I even did a survey recently, and while my support ticket response time is only a couple of hours, the rating of customer service severely suffered, specifically due to the dislike of how the moderators handle things in the game (chat, forums, etc). I'm wondering if this is just how it is with these type of things and that the people speaking out are just the trouble-makers (which I know this is obviously some of it). I really want my customer service to be known as high quality, but there's no way to get there without improving the moderation situation. I hear everything from mods being "tyrannical" to abusing power to not doing anything and playing favorites. I have selected highly regarded players in the games that have been around a long time and volunteered to do the job. I've got rules outlined that the moderators are supposed to enforce. What else can be done to improve the situation?


Is it possible to use asynchronous google adsense, i.e. non-blocking?

I know that there is a Asynchronous method of using Google Analytics but is there something similar for adsense? I can't find one from my current searches - I was wondering whether there is a common trick I'm missing?


Regular expression for pages in Google Analytics that matches full words only

I am trying to create a regular expression to see all my landing pages in one search result. This is what I have so far, but this regular expression does not consider the `(\W|$))`, meaning that I receive results which that word is not the end of the string (I know I would need to add the beginning and ending `/` to be getting any meaningful data)               ((\W|^)[Pp]rofessional(\W|$)|(\W|^)[Aa]dam(\W|$)|(\W|^)[Dd]unkey(\W|$)|(\W|^)[Aa]ny[Pp]ur(\W|$)|(\W|^)[Ee]nd(\W|$)|(\W|^)[fF]inal(\W|$))      I tried to follow the Google's guide again to no avail:               (\W|^)([Pp]rojects|[Aa]wards|[Dd]ownload|[Aa]bout[Pp]ages|[Ee]xperts|[fF]orum)(\W|$)


How to integrate Paypal Direct Payment (i.e. Paypal Pro) with custom shopping cart application?

I've written a basic shopping cart application that is fully functional _except_ for the payment process. I have decided to use PayPal Direct Payment, or "PayPal Pro," but am unsure of how to integrate it with my website. Does anyone know of any tutorials or resources that explain step by step how to integrate PayPal with a website? As a side note, just so that no one feels obligated to state this, I know that it's important that this be "done right," as one can get in big trouble if customer information is not kept secure. I fully intend on having a professional review my entire application and help me be PCI complaint, but I want to do as much as the work myself as I possibly can.


Issues granting access - Google Analytics

I am the administrator of my company's Google Analytics account, but was recently asked to give a client access to their Google Analytics data. Whilst I fully understand the new permissions structure Google has put in place, I've put the email address along with all the correct permissions but the client tells me they are being greated with a message stating that they "are unable to access Google Analytics because they don't have the correct levels of permission". I've granted them the right to Edit, Collaborate, Read & Analyze but they still have the same issue. I am definitely using the client's correct email address and they're also using Gmail so that can't be the fault either.


Should I make a page for every HTTP error?

I know that it is important to have an error document for 404, 403, 401 and 500. But what others, if any should I make to be completely sure that users do not see the default apache error page?


Can I create a div to display web content from another website?

Let's say my homepage is www.example.com and I want to add a div on it. When people visit my page, I want to show the content from www.google.com within the div. When visitor clicked any link on www.google.com, it redirects user all within the div. Is it possible to do? If so, how?


XAMPP - Unable to serve files larger than ~30MB

I'm developing a site locally with XAMPP on Windows 7, and as far as media is concerned, I'm unable to play media files that are larger than 30MB or so. Both video and audio files (MP4 and MP3 respectively) generate this error in Chrome (and show similar errors in other browsers such as IE9 and Opera):               No data received     Unable to load the webpage because the server sent no data.     Error 324 (net::ERR_EMPTY_RESPONSE): The server closed the connection without sending any data.      It seems that the exact number of MB somewhat varies between browsers though. One video in question is 34MB and actually plays in Opera and IE9, but gives the aforementioned error in Chrome. I've checked to make sure the file paths were typed correctly and ensured that the directive for .htaccess is there to serve MP4s: `AddType video/mp4 mp4` Also, I have these directives set as well in the same .htaccess file:               php_value upload_max_filesize "80M"     php_value post_max_size "80M"     php_value max_input_time 60     php_value max_execution_time 60      And `memory_limit` is set in php.ini as "128M" so I'm left wondering: what is causing my files to not play, and what, if any, directives I have to change on the server-side? Perhaps something to do with limitations with the GET method (the method I'm seeing on Chrome's network tab among other header request/response info)?


Using one document for all images

I have some icons around 100x100. I typically save out each icon as a `.png` but I wanted to know if I included all the `.pngs` in one document would it be ideal and improve load time? If one document is okay, is there a caution area for file size or image size when adding all images?


Will Google crawl session based website

I have a website, it is split into 3 categories but using PHP its an all-in one kind of style. When a user chooses a category on the home page a session is set, this is then used to set the style and contents of the website. Would Googlebot and other bots be able to still scan my website? If a page is accessed and no session is set then the user is sent back to the home page. I have created special links, that set a session but go straight to the contact page. Even this page doesn't seem to be showing up. Any ideas if a sitemap with specially crafted links (to set the session) will help Google?


What is the best way to handle special characters for Google searches?

For example, originally my name is Denny Müller but I have used Denny Mueller for many years. This is common practice in Germany and it has the same meaning but with a different way of writing it. I like to write it my name with _ue_ but in Germany it is usually _ü_. Also my domain is with _ue_ and it's easy to find at Google if I look for _denny mueller_. But anyone in Germany looking for my name would write it with _ü_ and it is impossible to find in Google. Is there a preferred way to handle this double layout? Edit: `google.de` works fine but not on `google.com`.


Google Region tags?

I own 2 domains, both are for the same company. However one is for the USA and one is for the UK. They both have the same name, the only difference is the TLD, for example `mycompany.co.uk` (UK) and `mycompany.com` (USA) Unfortunately, in many cases, the USA website is actually ranking above the UK site on `google.co.uk` How can I show Google that   1. Both sites are the same company   2. That one is a UK site and one is a USA site. I have heard that it's possible to include some kind of tag on our site to show this.


Why does my sitemap have a ".gz" extension, and how can I edit it?

An XML sitemap generator plugin for WordPress puts the following strings in my _robots.txt_ file:               User-agent: *     Disallow: /wp-admin/     Disallow: /wp-includes/      But other WordPress blogs have lots of tags included in it. Also, my XML file's sitemap name looks like this: `sitemap.xml.gz`. How do I add other possible parameters in my _robots.txt_ file? Is the XML file `sitemap.xml.gz` name valid, and what is the difference between a `.xml` and `.gz` extension?


How to make Google index files retrieved from database?

We use Joomla with Remository to store and manage publications (don't ask me why). Files (PDF) are stored in a database and can be accessed via dynamic, rewritten links of the form               http://domain.de/some/path/filename.html      Here is an example: some file Current browsers reliably detect that they get a PDF. `wget` uses the `.html` filename but after renaming I get a working PDF file. `curl` behaves similarly; piping its output into a (suitably named) files gives a working file. All this leads me to believe that -- against all odds, one might say -- the data our system provides is generally valid and understandable for clients. However, Google does not seem to index PDF files referenced by such links. Our publication list is indexed, but the PDFs linked there are not (they don't show up in web and Scholar searches). How can we tell search robots to retrieve our files and index them?


IE strips off parameters from a file URI pasted into an address bar?

**Question:** How do I stop IE from stripping off parameters from file URI pasted into address bar? **Description of a problem:** I have a "simpleTest.html" page with only this JS code inside, that returns the current location of the browser:               console.log("document.URL: " + document.URL);     console.log("document.location: " + document.location)     console.log("document.location.href: " + document.location.href)     console.log("window.location: " + window.location)     console.log("parent.frames.document.location: " + parent.frames.document.location)      When I paste the address to this file in IE's address bar with some parameters, for instance:               file:///pathToFile/simpleTest.html?dupa=2      The link gets changed to:               file:///pathToFile/simpleTest.html      When I paste it for the 2nd time the parameters will stay there. If however in the meantime I access some other resources, I will have to paste it 2 more consecutive times for the parameters to remain. Moreover, after I've place the website in my local Apache and access it through HTTP, the parameters remained:               http://127.0.0.1/pathToFile/simpleTest.html?dupa=2      It works fine for FF and Chrome, for both file and http protocols. Any ideas about this strange behavior in IE?


Google AdSense scorecard : Text and image ads enabled is marked as Yellow

Start with definitions: **Yellow:** Satisfactory. You could make some further improvements to this item. I have few sites using Google AdSense to make cents (yes, cents only). On recent update of Google AdSense, a new module called Scorecard displayed on my dashboard. In item **Revenue optimization > Text and image ads enabled** , it is marked as Yellow. But I have already enabled Text and Image ads in all my sites. Why does it still having Yellow instead of Green? Is it a bug of Google AdSense Scorecard ?


What is the proper way to send a DMCA to a hosting company?

Someone copied my entire website and is hosting it at a domain name similar to ours. That website's content is copyrighted to the website which we have been running for years. Each and every image, logo (including our company logo), content, link, graphic and layout have been copied. You could say the copied site is a perfect replica, just in a different domain. The identity of the "alleged robber" has been blocked by PrivacyProtect. I've sent emails with proof of the theft to `abuse@privacyprotect.org`. But each time they respond telling me that they cannot disclose the identity of the thief even though they say in their website that they will disclose the identity of any person who commits such illegal activities. Now PrivacyProtect is protecting his identity, whether they mean to or not. After hours of Googling, I found I need to send a DMCA take down notice to the host provider to take action. I would like few of my doubts to be cleared before send DMCA notice. What is the format of sending DMCA take down notice to the host provider in this case? Can I just type in the DMCA notice in an email or attach as a PDF in an email? Should I need a lawyer to send it or I can send it myself? Do I need any other attestation in the DMCA like attestation from notary public or judicial magistrate?


Do server stat tools work with CDNs?

If I pick a hosting package that offers CDN support, then how do server stat tools work, since web pages are served by different servers from all over the world? Can I rely on them in that case?


Google+ Style "Send Feedback"

Does anyone know a service that offers a google+ style feedback system? It seems that it would be a great way to get feedback from users. If you have not seen it before. I've attached a screen shot. It allows users highlight the problem and also blank out parts thy don't want to show. ![enter image description here](http://i.stack.imgur.com/8uCOe.png)


How to check that I have recovered from Penguin 2.0?

I have 3 year old website which has been hit by Penguin 2.0 in May. The website traffic dropped almost 30%. I have been working hard from last 2.5 months on the website and my website's traffic recovered in last week of August. In fact, I am receiving more traffic then ever. When I look at the stats, I find my website's search engine visibility has been improved. It is now appearing for more search queries. My website's impressions have also increased. What I am worried about is that my website is nowhere in top 5 pages for keywords having high competition and carrying the highest search volume. They are few in number but important. Should I consider my current situation as recovery or it's just the partial recovery? If it is only partial, then how come traffic is more then it was before penguin 2.0?


Posterous instructions for adding Google Analytics do not cover the code snippet to be pasted in the <head>

The Posterous instructions for adding Google Analytics ends with pasting the Google Analytics Domain ID into the settings page. However, the instructions given by Google tell me to paste some JavaScript code into the `<head>`. How do I get around with this?   1. Do I **need** to paste the JavaScript code?   2. If I do **need** to paste the JavaScript code, can I just paste it into the custom HTML/CSS style specification of my Posterous Space?


Create MediaWiki template to format source code

I want to create a MediaWiki template like               <syntaxhighlight lang="Java" style="background-color:lightgray; border:1px dashed gray;">     {{{code}}}     </syntaxhighlight>      and use it in normal article pages as               {{SourceCode|source=public static void main() {...}}}      but the problem is the `<syntaxhighlight></syntaxhighlight>` tags defeats `{{{code}}}` parameter, and the actual formatted result is               <syntaxhighlight lang="Java" style="background-color:lightgray; border:1px dashed gray;">     {{{code}}}     </syntaxhighlight>      instead of               <syntaxhighlight lang="Java" style="background-color:lightgray; border:1px dashed gray;">     public static void main() {...}     </syntaxhighlight>      Any idea?


How does the back button work on Grooveshark?

I recently started to use Grooveshark. I noticed that although they have a dynamic interface in sense that you never leave the one page, but the back (and forward) buttons work anyway. If you press the button, only a part (think of a frame) of the content changes back to where you were, but the static elements of the interface stay. How do they manage that? Can you give me a trivial example?


Prevent AdSense from warning me when my ad code appears on unauthorized sites?

On the advice of my AdSense optimization specialist, I enabled the setting in Google AdSense that prevents my ads from showing up on sites that I haven't authorized. This is evidentally important because your account can be revoked if the ads show up on sites that don't conform to Google's AdSense Policies. One big downside to this is that there is a list of about 80 third party sites that show my ads. Most of them are sites that cache my content in some form. Now when I log into my AdSense account Google shows the message: > We've noticed your ad code has appeared on websites you haven't authorized. > To avoid lost revenue, make sure to authorize any sites you own to display > ads by visiting your account settings. Is there any way to make this message disappear other than authorizing these sites? This alert is getting on my nerves. I haven't been able to find a black list equivelant of Google's authorized sites white list. ![unauthorized AdSense sites](http://i.stack.imgur.com/ywUEi.png)


How to have website (on IIS) return code 503 yet still provide local development

How could I have my website running on IIS return the HTTP Header Code of `503` to the public, and at the same time be able to allow developer to continue developing it locally? For example, if I use _app_offline.htm_ , it will yield the `503` error to ALL (including the developers), but how could the developer have access and test on it? Could we make _app_offline.htm_ to be accessible to only a group a people? Or is there any other alternatives to have `503` and local development happen at the same time?


How do I launch my website online?

I designed my website on Dreamweaver. Then I bought a domain name. What do I need to do now to launch my website online?


How to set up Google DFP (DoubleClick for Publishers) for a site?

I have a website and I have an AdSense account as well. I have integrated AdSense and ads are also getting displayed (480 x 60). Somewhere I read that I can manage the ads that are being shown in my website (480 x 60) and filter out the ads on a CPM/CPC basis. NOTE: I don't have any ads to be displayed on other's websites. I just want to show other's ads on my website. Now, can I use Google DFP to manage the ads? I mean is Google DFP useful for me to filter the ads and get me more revenue?


How do I get a footer to appear at bottom of window

I am doing a new site and I need a footer area to appear at the bottom of the content (much like this site), but I want it to appear at the bottom of the window when there is less content than requires a scrollbar. For example: http://odata.stackexchange.com/ ...has a footer, but on a large screen it appears in the middle of the page. I want it to attach to the bottom of the window but geet there is more text in which case it floats beneath the content. I hope I have described my problem sufficiently :-) Does anyone have any ideas or help with this?


Proper SEO when dealing with duplicate content/article

I have a blog post I wrote which another site wishes to post on their site, verbatim. I know having identical content is an SEO "ding". Is there a way to tell Google that the new site is referencing the old site? Such as a meta tag for "source_url" or something like that? Or should the new place simply just add a few lines or a graph at the top stating this is copied from a previous blog? Is that enough to satisfy Google's bot?


Legal pages showing up in our Google Sitelinks

Our Terms of Service page (oursite.com/terms) is persistently showing up as the first of our Google Sitelinks, despite repeated demotions over the course of many weeks and the fact that we have plenty of other pages that are relevant and worthy of being Sitelinked. It's driving us nuts, especially since one would assume Google's algorithms would be smart enough to identify boilerplate legal pages... Anyway, we're thinking of noindexing the page. Anyone have a better idea, or think this is a bad one?


Will wrong or incomplete Microdata harm my SEO?

What if I am missing parts of my Microdata? I will use a blog article for example. The recommended markup is:
       How to Tie a Reef Knot       by John Doe       This article has been tweeted 1203 times and contains 78 user comments.       <meta itemprop="interactionCount" content="UserTweets:1203"/>       <meta itemprop="interactionCount" content="UserComments:78"/>
       Now let’s say that I quickly want to switch this article to be a recipe, but I don’t add additional tags (like here http://prntscr.com/38fwyk) and only change the `itemtype`:
       Burgers       by John Doe       This article has been tweeted 1203 times and contains 78 user comments.       <meta itemprop="interactionCount" content="UserTweets:1203"/>       <meta itemprop="interactionCount" content="UserComments:78"/>
       Would this actually harm my SEO?


Using subdomains for niche SEO

Simple question: If I have a website offering website themes and I set up subdomains like builder.themes.com, artist.themes.com would that be more beneficial than having totally separate sites or less? I know a subdomain is classed as its own site and doesn't inherit the main site's page rank but if these niches are all aimed at having a theme...what's best?


Meta keywords random keywords

I was wondering what about having random meta keywords instead of fixed one? I have a blog, so every blog post has some related tags, in my home page i show the post's previews, so i put in meta keywords all the main blog post's tags i show. Is it a good practice?


Content vote system with IP verification and dynamic IP adresses

### Description: I have two types of vote system on my site. First of them is for all users and store IP adress to prevent more than one vote. Second is for authenticated users only, which also store nickname. ### Problem to solve: Dynamic IP adress will change in about 24 hours with second type of vote system it doesn't really matter because of stored nickname but in first case IP is the only data about user action. There is chance that User 1 which had IP `X` yesterday have now adress `Y` and cannot vote today because User 2 had `Y` IP a day before and already "locked" row in database. According to this User 1 cannot vote on content despite of he/she should been able to do it. ### Question: Should I delete all IP adresses in first and/or second case of vote system due to dynamic IP technology (at least once per 24h)?


Best practise for a web designer after a client's website is hacked?

Our client's website content was hacked with text that promotes gambling and 'binary options' websites. Examples are: > "If you are looking for binary or forex trading or brokers have a look at > this binary options website" > > "Looking for legal casino site? Have a look at this casino sites for full > list" My question is, do the gambling sites authorize these hacks? Our client says that one of the pieces of text links off to a website. Our client would like to know if we need to contact these sites and inform them that bots have added links to their sites onto our site.


.htaccess: Redirect Hotlink Flash --> Site with embed Flash

I have some PHP sites that embeds SWF files. These SWF files are now linked to by some other guys. And I don't want them to simply open the SWF, I want them to force being redirect to the page where the flash is embed.   1. `www.example.com/1`   2. `www.example.com/2`   3. `www.example.com/3` Flash: `www.example.com/flash/flash_NUMBER.swf` So for `www.example.com/1 > www.example.com/flash/flash_1.swf` **I now want to redirect the user who types `www.example.com/flash/flash_1.swf` into his URL to be redirect to `www.example.com/1`. The Problem I have that the flash needs to be still accessible via `www.example.com/1` <-- I don't get that working (the Flash is embed into that page). The tool I would like to use for this is the .htaccess & RewriteRule. I hope someone can help me out.


How to add favicon to robots.txt

How can I disallow this URL: `http://www.example.com/assets/ico/favicon.png`? Would these lines in my _robots.txt_ work?               User-agent: *     Disallow: /blah/assets*     Disallow: /blah/assets/ico/


Tack anchor link with Google Analytics

I have searched for how to track anchor links in analytics, but couldn't get it working. I have this code in the header:                     And my links looks like this:               Contact      I also tried to use this links:               Contact


Do print and bookmark links really work?

It seems to be common on the web to provide users with some visual element on the page to either print or bookmark a page. This is all well and good (and probably doesn't hurt for the most part), but I question its effectiveness at causing the intended behavior. Is there any evidence to suggest that this causes an increase in bookmarking/printing behavior? Similarly, is there any evidence that users will use this method _rather than_ the browser's default interface for the functions? I am really looking for user research with actual results, rather than anecdotes to answer this question. Thanks, Joseph Mastey


Redirecting a CSS file based on .htaccess rules

I'm trying to hack the css files on OSTicket by replacing them with my own custom ones when a specific URL is accessed. The URL that is accessed for this example is http://osticket.cts/helpdesk/scp/css/main.css and I would like it to use the css file at http://osticket.cts/test.css why won't this .htaccess file (in web root, not /helpdesk/scp/) work? Is there an easy way to debug these rules, some way to find out what apache did when the URL was accessed and where it's failing? error.log doesn't show anything useful.               RewriteEngine On          RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^osticket\.cts$ [NC]     RewriteRule ^(.*)main\.css$ /test.css [NC, L]


Sub Domain Anaytics Tracking

I have a WordPress multisite with two sites. One at the main domain, and one at a sub-domain. I have Google Analytics running on both sites, and it is turned on to track sub-domains. See screenshot: ![enter image description here](http://i.stack.imgur.com/OhZqF.png) I have this piece of javascript on each site in header.php:               <script type="text/javascript">          var _gaq = _gaq || [];     _gaq.push(['_setAccount', 'my-UA-code']);     _gaq.push(['_setDomainName', 'andy-warren.net']);     _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);     })();          </script>      I'm getting data in Analytics, but I don't know how to differentiate between the domain and the sub-domain. Am I missing something in the settings or piece of tracking code? Or can I just somehow choose to see the domain or sub-domain in Analytics?


htaccess execution order and priority

Can anyone explain to me in what order apache executes .htaccess files residing in different levels of the same path and how the rewrite rules therein are prioritized? For example, why doesn't the rewrite rule in the first .htaccess below work and is the one in /blog prioritized? .htaccess in /               RewriteEngine on     RewriteBase /     RewriteRule ^blog offline.html [L]      .htaccess in /blog               RewriteEngine On     RewriteBase /blog/     RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f     RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d     RewriteRule . /blog/index.php [L]      Ps: i'm not simply looking for an answer but for a way to understand the apache/modrewrite internals ... why is more important to me than how to fix this :) Thanks!


Why does Google keep hitting only one MP3 file?

I have a bunch of Mp3 files on my site, and all if them are in the sitemap to allow search engines that log mp3 files to know about them. For some reason, every day or two, Google keeps hitting the same file. The weird part is, it's file index 11. Not the top, not the bottom, and always the same file. Does anybody have a clue on why that would be happening? In contrast, I've had Bing hit the three files that are currently visible without searching.

Can I rent a multipurpose server for gaming and web hosting?

I am thinking about renting a server. The problem is, there aren't just "servers", like one would build at home, there are game servers, web servers, etc. Now the first question would be: can I rent a combined web and game server? Because if that's possible, I did not find anything on the internet about such service. If I would need a separate web server, that's still okay, but then there are some other problems about the game server part. Normal hosting services may give you the possibility to host a server for a certain game, like Minecraft. But that's it. No switching options, just ONE type of server. And if you want another type of game server, rent another one. But I would need to switch between several games. Also, normally you get some kind of interface to interact with the server. I don't like that method either, because I sometimes need more control over things I can't control in the control panels there. I would really like to just host a server at home, but my bandwidth kind of kills that dream.


Adding .html to the URL while it is not a HTML page hurt to SEO?

If I added `.html` to the URLs of my website while the pages are not in HTML, will it hurt SEOof my site or will it be helful to my site in search engine rankings? For example, say my domain is `www.example.com` which is a question and answers site, here I created a page which dynamically shows the answers of the questions, and the questions are populated from my database, so URLs are created dynamically, for example:               www.example.com/answer/my-question-no-1     www.example.com/answer/my-question-no-2      Here the questions `my-question-no-1` and `my-question-no-2` are from database, and I created a single page for hundreds or thousands questions. So my question is for better SEO results Should my URL be like `www.example.com/answer/my-question-no-1` or Changing the URL to `www.example.com/answer/my-question-no-1.html` will improve my site ranking in search engines?


Is there a Java-based web browser that doesn't follow hyperlinks properly?

Looking through my logs, I get this error a lot: > A potentially dangerous Request.Path value was detected from the client (:). The error is usually due to someone navigating to a URL like this: > `http://octopusdeploy.com/blog/https:/tfspreview.com` You'll notice that what should have been a link to `https://tfs...` has become `https:/tfs...`, which the web browser is obviously intepreting as being a relative path instead of an absolute URL. However, if you do a view-source on the original page (http://octopusdeploy.com/blog) you'll find links to `https://tfs...`, but none to `https:/tfs..`. The client seems to be getting the links wrong. Looking through the request details I notice that this isn't coming from any ordinary web browser, but from a Java client:               Platform: Unknown      Browser: Unknown (Version 0.0)     User Agent: Java/1.6.0_04      Is there a known, badly written Java web browser, maybe running on a smart phone somewhere, that just doesn't know how to follow hyperlinks? Have you seen similar errors? Secondly, if I were to block all requests from user agents identifying as Java bots (as per this post), am I likely to break any known important bots or devices?


Godaddy and .NET Redemption Period

I have a .NET domain that expired 42 days ago. Only today the DNS service for my domain was shut down and i realized that the domain was going to expire. The domain was sold and it seems i can't get it back. Anything i can do? * * * That is for .COM domains. I also have a .ORG domain that is in the Redemption Period and i got it back successfully. It's everywhere in the net that the domains has a 45-days grace period and than a 30-days redintion period. WHY godaddy takes a profit out of this and doesn't follow ICANN guidelines? http://www.icann.org/en/resources/registrars/gtld-lifecycle

Webmasters Tools - What can i do with a exported keywords list?

In Google Webmasters Tools you can export the list of keywords. What can you do with this list? I'm asking this in sense of could something special be done with this comma separated list?   Is there any good software which analyses that? What do people do with this list?


How does Google+ embed link works?

I am trying to understand how does embed link works in **Google+ Stream**. ![enter image description here](http://i.stack.imgur.com/lG6Yi.jpg) I manage a site and usually every post contains some text and at least an image. But when I try to embed the link to a certain article on my blog the embed feature does not show the article text and images, but instead it shows the header image of my site plus some other header text content. Do you know how should I tag or code the article part so that Google+ parser recognize the right thing I want to show?

xml sitemap structure

I have been arguing a point and would like a second opinion. The basic point of contention is as follows: We have a site X with a sitemap index file located at: _http://www.x.co.uk/sitemap.xml_ This file lists a number of site maps and the structure for the location of the site maps is:               <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>       <sitemapindex xmlns="http://www.sitemaps.org/schemas/sitemap/0.9">        <sitemap>          <loc>http://www.x.co.uk/sitemap/date/0.xml</loc>          <lastmod>2011-04-07</lastmod>        </sitemap>        <sitemap>          <loc>http://www.x.co.uk/sitemap/date/1.xml</loc>          <lastmod>2011-04-07</lastmod>        </sitemap>       </sitemapindex>      As far as i understand things search engines will except this just fine and it will not cause any issues. However the problem being raise is this, because the actual site XML sits under a directory structure like _/sitemap/date/_ search engines will not include the URLS. My opinion is that this is incorrect. If anyone can clarify that would be great i have read the documentation on Sitemaps Protocol and would welcome any further articles that could be of use.


Progressive JPEG

This Post: "Progressive" JPEG: Why do many web sites avoid rendering JPEGs that way? Pros, cons? stat that many browsers do not support Progressive JPEG citing this Wikipedia Article. What I have not found is which browsers do and do not support it. I know FF 7 supports it but I have not tested the other browsers to know. Does anyone have a comparison chart or something similar? Bonus Question: What e-mail clients support Progressive JPEG? (Desktop E-Mail Clients e.g. Outlook & Thunerbird etc) * * * So I decided to run few test to see how browsers handled Progressive JPEGs. Here is what I found:   * Firefox 7 - Displayed Correctly    * Internet Explorer 7 & 8 - Displayed Photo once finished downloaded (Did not load scan by scan)    * Safari 5 - Displayed Photo once finished downloaded (Did not load scan by scan)    * Chrome 13 - Display Correctly    * Opera 11.5 - Displayed Correctly If anyone has any comments to my test or any thoughts please let me know (Including how older browsers of the ones that did load it correctly work). I am still wondering about email clients if anyone can help with that.


WordPress MySQL Performance

I have a website (www.americanbankingnews.com) that gets 40,000-50,000 page views today. It's currently sitting on a dedicated quad-core Xeon server with 8GB of ram. The site is powered by WordPress and MySQL (sitting on the same server) and I'm currently using W3 Total Cache for page and MySQL query Caching. Unfortunately, that doesn't seem to be enough. During peak traffic times, my servers are getting a few HTTP 500 errors and pages that aren't cached load slowly. I'm currently not using Xcache or any other PHP cache/acceleration tools. Are there additional steps that I should take to try to optimize MySQL and PHP performance? Or should I fork over for an additional server. Specifically, I'd be interested in additional suggestions to improve MySQL performance and whether or not tools like xcache might help in this situation.


Photo printing service API for my photo sharing website

I am triying to find a good photo printing service that will allow users of my photo sharing website to order print versions of the photos that they have uploaded to my site. I have looked at Snapfish and Shutterfly but wondered if there was any others that would do this. As far as I can tell snapfish have an affiliate program that pays a percentage for referrals to their site and an API called publisher which lets developers create apps that use photos already on the snapfish site but cant seem to see a way in which users of my site would be able to print on snapfish (without re-uploading to snapfish). What I want to be able to do is the following -   1. User uploads to my website   2. Clicks a 'Print' button    3. User gets redirected to 3rd party print service along with the photos they want to print   4. User signs in / registers with 3rd party service   5. Sees the photos they selected from my site   6. Completes order process Does anyone know of a service which will allow me to do this? Does snapfish or shutterfly work in this way? I know flickr can do this but I guess Snapfish are using the Flickr API to retrieve photos. I dont want users to have to download from my site and then re-upload to snapfish for example to print. Any suggestions?


How to change number of maximum threads in LAMPP

How do I change maximum number of concurrent users in LAMPP. I found answers for apache and XAMPP but that does not solve my problem.

Dynamic Meta Keywords

Is it a problem to change the meta keywords dynamically depending on the content of the page / website? for example if it is a news website and this weeks top articles are about elephants in japan I would change the keywords accordingly, and when that article is less popular I would replace them with other key words Technically I know it is not a problem. How do search engines treat this kind of behvaior? I know that if the keyword list is too long they can ban websites.. What about the rate of change for the keywords?


Sending Mass Emails

I have a massive list of users who registered for accounts and opted into a mailing list on my web site and I am interested in sending out a weekly newsletter. How should I go about doing this. I tried sending it out through my host server, but I received a notice stating that if I did it again they would kick me off the server. Are there any good companies that are designed for this type of thing? I need to find a company that will support this and show me some sort of report about how many emails get opened, deleted, opened then deleted, etc. Any recommendations?


301 redirect to 404 page?

Currently i'm migrating www. prefix from my urls and use htaccess to do the job. Since we have new software and cleaned database some of the old urls doesnt exists anymore. Therefore some requests redirect to 404 page.               1. www.domain.com/old-page # htaccess redirect to non-www url, 301     2. domain.com/old-page # page does not exists, 404      Does this method have any SEO issues, or even affect pagerank? Or should i check the page existence before redirecting and show 404 without redirect?


Do I need to physically host my website in separate countries for SEO?

I run an ecommerce store that is hosted in Ireland, and ranks ok with google.ie The market for this comapny is the Republic of Ireland and the UK. Is it beneficial for me to have a UK hosted version of my site (.co.uk) to rank higher in google.co.uk (and other localised search engines of course). If so, how would I prevent the site from being punished for duplicate content? Thanks in advance for any assistance on the above.

Track traffic from Social Media in Google Analytics while using a URL shortening service

A company that does social media management for us (creates content, posts updates etc) uses a URL shortening service so they can give statistics in their dashboard about traffic from SM. They add a link in an update which links to the URL shortening service, which redirects to the website. The shortning serice uses 310 redirests on the URLs. e.g: The link on facebook/twiter might be `http://wu.to/example` which in turn 301 redirects straight to the website URL `http://example.com/` However due to this it means we cannot view the traffic via the 'social' section on Google Analytics and I'm having a hard time finding any traffic that comes in via the URL shortening service URLs. Does anybody know where I might find the traffic in GA? I presumed it would be in 'all referrals' section, but I cannot find anything in there, or elsewhere from `http://wu.to/`, which is the domain where the redirects are from. Should GA be able to track traffic that has come in via redirects?


Reviewing an advertiser / ads

I recently got a direct ad campaign for one of my sites. The advertiser agreed to my price without much bargaining. No contract was signed, but I had specified pre payment as part of our agreement. The advertiser is not a major network. Currently they are showing affiliate ads. Some things about this deal seems fishy to me - The amount was direct deposited to our account, not transferred from their company account. - Just below the visible ad, I can see a hidden iframe which contains the flight search widget for a major airline (Could this be cookie stuffing?) - They are contacting me from a gmail account - They did not insist for a signed contact How can I ensure that the advertiser is legitimate and is not using the adslot for illegal purpose?


Do Spambots have access to unlimited IP addresses?

I have been attacked for weeks by the same spambot trying to brute force the login page. I have a login security module now installed on my Drupal 6 website and it bans on IP after x amount of attempts. It's been going on for ever and I have banned about 1000 IP addresses. Is there any point in me banning on IP due to the spambot having access to unlimited IP addresses or will they run out of them eventually?


.htaccess rule to redirect from 404 to search results

When a user (or a bot) request on non existing page, I want to redirect him to the search results. I prefere to do it with the `.htaccess` file using something like:               ErrorDocument 404 /recherche?search_query=${REQUEST_URI}       However, it fails; the web browser is redirected to the URL `recherche?search_query=${REQUEST_URI}` , ${REQUEST_URI} and is not replaced, it is as you can read it here.


Is there a self hosted solution similar to Uservoice?

In the early days of Stack Overflow, Uservoice was used to get feedback, bug reports and feature requests from the community. While SO did out grow Uservoice, many sites would not. I'd like to use a system very much like Uservoice for a site that I am launching. The problem is, I really prefer to host all moving parts myself. I don't care if its free or proprietary, I just need something that will work on a typical Linux server. Can anyone suggest something? **Edit** I want something self hosted because:   * Privacy is a major concern for my users   * I'd like to `programmatically` reward participation on the 'uservoice' with rewards on the actual site (ideally, that's just a few queries away)   * I'd like to be able to change the 'rules' on the 'uservoice' site if needed, but its not a major requirement.   * I trust my own backups more than anyone else's :)


Creating date based back entries for a blog and its site registration

So I am showing a blog to a colleague and telling him how the author has been regularly blogging for over ten years now. My colleague tells me that anyone can register a domain name and start entries from say circa 2000. When I argued that the site registration date can easily show that the registration was done recently he put forward two arguments:   1. The author can claim that he moved from an old domain name which was registered many years ago and lapsed. So he took the data and rebuilt it in the new site.   2. The author can buy an expired domain which was on the internet for many years. I am not sure if these ways can work to con someone to believing you have been a blogger for over a decade. But I do not have enough expertise in the topic to refute him. So I thought I would ask the wise community here at StackExchange. Can anyone give me some insight?


Joomla change read more link to blog layout id

I have a module with articles created with the displaynews plugin. If I click the read more of the articles they go to the full article.

Keyword is really a complete address in Google Analytics

The top keyword for my really small website (under 50 visits/month) is the complete address, with http:// and all. I doubt 14 people would go to a search engine and paste the address into the search box. Does this kind of result has any special significance?


How to correctly index multilanguage home page while having a default portal language

Hi there this is my first post, so first of all, sorry for being boring or for any mistakes. I have read many posts on how to correctly index a multi-language site but none of them really answer my question. This is my scenario:   I have a two language (Italian, and English) site [www.zicaffe.com] with all contents correctly localized (meta infos, title, page descriptions and so on).   As suggested by Google each page has its unique URL (with localized keywords) that identifies a page and its (localized) content (eg. www.zicaffe.com/en/company.aspx identifies the English version while www.zicaffe.com/it/azienda.aspx the Italian one). Each page includes a cross- link which allows users to manually switch to the other available language. Apparently this is supposed to be the perfect scenario, but there's an exception regarding the home (index) page:   Accessing www.zicaffe.com, the site automatically redirects the browser, through a 301 Moved permanently, to a localized version of the page: www.zicaffe.com/en/home.aspx if the browser send en or en-US accept-language in the header; to www.zicaffe.com/it/home.aspx if the browser accepts it or it-IT or to the default language (Italian yet) otherwise. These are the questions:   1) Since googlebot is not sending any accept language in the header, it is going to show only the default language version of the home page in the SERP? 2) For some reason (probably because we are an Italian company?), right now only the Italian pages (default language) have a page rank and a sitelink. Is it normal? and the most important:   3) What happens if in the future I change the default site language to English? Am I going to lose all the good results achieved for Italian queries? Please do not suggest to read the following posts:   * http://www.google.com/support/forum/p/Webmasters/thread?tid=37173fa9cff11a12&hl=en   * http://googlewebmastercentral.blogspot.com/2010/03/working-with-multilingual-websites.html Any other answer would be precious.

White hat security community

A while ago I remember there existed a community of savvy people who would probe a server for common vulnerabilities, this was a voluntary project but not even google can help me find it, I was hoping that if anyone knows of such a community they could point me to it. Thanks


Best approach to have Google index content primarily generated by Javascript

I'm developing an app where customers can drop in a Javascript tag onto their website, and it will generate content. What is the best approach to have Google index this content and associate it with the site's URL. I know that Google doesn't execute JS, so I'm thinking of different angles. I could have Google index the content on the site where the content is comping from (not the customer's site) but then it obviously will be indexed with the wrong URL. Could I somehow get Google to display a different URL? Is there another approach to get Google to index content from another site but associate it with The constraints are:   * The customer website can only drop in one section of code (ideally a JS tag).   * I have full control of the original content, albeit on a different site.    * The customer website can't do any server-side processing to specifically solve this.  Ideally, the web visitors would see the JS generated content when viewing the site, but Google bot would get fed content from another web page (which is the same content, but from the raw source). I just don't know how to do this without JS.


Javascript Requester IP Address

Avoid 301 redirect in cdn.domain.mx

I have a domain with a _.htaccess_ redirection problem. The active CDN the URL should be: `cdn.domain.mx/images/test.png` but redirects: `cdn.domain.mx/images/something.png` -> `www.domain.mx/images/something.png` This causes my web resources not to be served from the CDN. Here is the code in the _.htaccess_ :               RewriteEngine on          RewriteCond %{HTTPS} on     RewriteRule (.*) http:\/\/%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [R=301,L]          RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^domain\.com$ [OR,NC]     RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.domain\.com$ [OR,NC]     RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^domain\.example\.com$ [OR,NC]     RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.domain\.example\.com$ [OR,NC]     RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^domain\.mx$ [NC]     RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http:\/\/www\.domain\.mx\/$1 [R=301,L]      I have also configured the CNAME on my domain:               cdn.domain.mx. CNAME domain.company.netdna-cdn.com      * * * **Details:** A resource site is:               www.depilacionconlaser.mx/images/contenidos/inicio/productos-principales/depilacion-laserhome.jpg       The URL of the resource with CDN is:               cdn.depilacionconlaser.mx/images/contenidos/inicio/productos-principales/depilacion-laserhome.jpg       If I enter the URL of the resource with CDN in my browser, I'm redirected to **www**. Redirection not indicated in the HTACCESS.


Large increase in 404 hits

We're running a Magento shop and we experienced a significant raise in 404 hits lately, almost 40,000 in one day. Most of the pages are old ones that once existed but don't anymore, and there are some really strange occurrences where as much as 200 pages are linked from one to another, for example               /kleidung-accessoires-schmuck/jungs.html?manufacturer=633-341     /kleidung-accessoires-schmuck/maedels.html?manufacturer=420-346-440     /kleidung-accessoires-schmuck/maedels.html?manufacturer=114-510-414      None of them really exist, all return 404 error, but somehow Google sees them and follows the links in them to another (again non-existant), which creates circles of 404 crawling. And these pages are not online for more than a month, yet they are constantly detected, last time yesterday. And when I take a look to see where they came from, it's only from within the website, from another 404 page, nothing external. Does anyone have any advice how to deal with this? Is there a way to obtain some kind of crawl log where I could see where the hits exactly came from, because information provided from GWT is not suphicient enough. And I still don't know why google crawls non-existant pages. ![](http://i.stack.imgur.com/2uIgq.png)


Point a domain to another domain

What I want to do is, I want to point my domain which I registered from Dot TK ( a free domain registration service ) to another domain which I am currently hosting on Freeola ( a hosting service ). But I don't want to use domain parking because Freeola doesn't allow it. So I want ask if there is any other option other than parking. If parking is the only option then, can we park a domain even if the the hosting company is not allowing it? Basically, what I want is: If my domain name is `example.tk` and the domain which is hosted on Freeola is `example.com` then can I do the following things:   1. When a user goes to `example.tk` the content of `example.com` is shown but the url in the address bar should remain `example.tk`.   2. When a user goes to `example.tk/sample-page` the content of `example.com/sample-page` is shown but the url in the address bar should remain `example.tk/sample-page`. Please excuse me if this is a silly question because I am just a beginner.


Which domain name structure, if any, is better for SEO?

I'm purchasing a domain for a new blog, and wonder which structure is better for domain name. I have these two options (domain changed to ensure it doesn't get swiped away from me!):   * atlantic-city-bands.com    * atlanticcitybands.org (where the .com and .net are already registered and used by another website). Does one domain name give me any sort of SEO advantage over the other?

Leveraging browser caching issue

I am triying to obtain a good calification on Page Speed test, now I've obtained 85 points but I am still on the problem of "Leverage browser caching". This is the Page Speed test message about this problem:               Leverage browser caching     Setting an expiry date or a maximum age in the HTTP headers for static resources instructs the browser to load previously downloaded resources from local disk rather than over the network.     Leverage browser caching for the following cacheable resources:     https://cdn.syndication.twimg.com/…ollowing&lang=es&screen_names=lomasguapa (10 minutes)     http://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js (30 minutes)     https://apis.google.com/js/api.js (30 minutes)     https://apis.google.com/js/platform.js (30 minutes)     http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/js/adsbygoogle.js (60 minutes)     http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/osd.js (60 minutes)     https://oauth.googleusercontent.com/…e:rpc:shindig.random:shindig.sha1.js?c=2 (60 minutes)     http://stats.g.doubleclick.net/dc.js (2 hours)     http://www.google-analytics.com/ga.js (2 hours)      However I have seen in many source on Internet that this solution works for this case, the solution is a modification of .htaccess file. There is the first block.               ## EXPIRES CACHING ##     **<IfModule mod_expires.c>     ExpiresActive On     ExpiresByType image/jpg "access 1 year"     ExpiresByType image/jpeg "access 1 year"     ExpiresByType image/gif "access 1 year"     ExpiresByType image/png "access 1 year"     ExpiresByType text/css "access 1 month"     ExpiresByType text/html "access 1 month"     ExpiresByType application/pdf "access 1 month"     ExpiresByType text/x-javascript "access 1 month"     ExpiresByType application/x-shockwave-flash "access 1 month"     ExpiresByType image/x-icon "access 1 year"     ExpiresDefault "access 1 month"     </IfModule>**     ## EXPIRES CACHING ##          # REST OF MY .HTACCESS     # BEGIN Better WP Security     Options -Indexes          Order Allow,Deny     Deny from env=DenyAccess     Allow from all     SetEnvIF REMOTE_ADDR "^1\.234\.83\.77$" DenyAccess     SetEnvIF X-FORWARDED-FOR "^1\.234\.83\.77$" DenyAccess     SetEnvIF X-CLUSTER-CLIENT-IP "^1\.234\.83\.77$" DenyAccess     SetEnvIF REMOTE_ADDR "^211\.110\.140\.70$" DenyAccess     SetEnvIF X-FORWARDED-FOR "^211\.110\.140\.70$" DenyAccess     SetEnvIF X-CLUSTER-CLIENT-IP "^211\.110\.140\.70$" DenyAccess     SetEnvIF REMOTE_ADDR "^91\.200\.13\.45$" DenyAccess     SetEnvIF X-FORWARDED-FOR "^91\.200\.13\.45$" DenyAccess     SetEnvIF X-CLUSTER-CLIENT-IP "^91\.200\.13\.45$" DenyAccess     SetEnvIF REMOTE_ADDR "^200\.27\.231\.114$" DenyAccess     SetEnvIF X-FORWARDED-FOR "^200\.27\.231\.114$" DenyAccess     SetEnvIF X-CLUSTER-CLIENT-IP "^200\.27\.231\.114$" DenyAccess     # END Better WP Security          # BEGIN WordPress     <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>     RewriteEngine On     RewriteBase /     RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]     RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f     RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d     RewriteRule . /index.php [L]     </IfModule>          # END WordPress          <IfModule mod_deflate.c>         # compress text, HTML, JavaScript, CSS, and XML (for more page speed)         AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE text/plain         AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE text/html         AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE text/xml         AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE text/css         AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE application/xml         AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE application/xhtml+xml         AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE application/rss+xml         AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE application/javascript         AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE application/x-javascript     </IfModule>          # remove browser bugs (for more page speed)     BrowserMatch ^Mozilla/4 gzip-only-text/html     BrowserMatch ^Mozilla/4\.0[678] no-gzip     BrowserMatch \bMSIE !no-gzip !gzip-only-text/html     Header append Vary User-Agent     # END       The case is that solution does not work and the page speed is showing again the caching problem. I put all the .htaccess in order to give more information, may be some lines cause any king of problem.

How to come back to old URL already redirected with 301? What is the impact to SEO?

I have recently moved my old site (built with DreamWeaver) to a new one (with new design and using WordPress). It was done last August, 1st and as the URLs with WP changed completely, I had to do redirects 301 with my htaccess file to all my old URLs. It occurs now that my new site results worse than the old one (bounce rate, time on site, sales conversion, traffic, etc) and I am considering seriously move back to the old pages. My question are:   1. how should I handle the redirects in these case? Should I now keep the redirects already done (old to new URLs) and now create also a new redirects from the new one to the old uURLsls?   2. How is the best way to handle it in order to avoid losing traffic with search engines?   3. Does anybody have already faced this situation and move back to the old URLs? if yes, what were the consequences related to your SEO and positioning in search engines ?Did you recovered the old search positioning?


Rememberable Numbers for a Domain Name

Is there a list of significant numbers that people link meaning to? For example saying **365** many people link to days in a year, and **24 7** links to **24/7** (if pronounced correctly) Basically little tricks like these help newcomers (hopefully) to remember brands/domain names better.
