Is it allowed to use Like button for another page?

According this thread it is possible to place Like button on some page, while the like button gives "like" to another page. But is it allowed officially? Aren't there any sanctions from Facebook if I like page from another page? On documentation page for Like button, there is mentioned that I can set "href" parameter, for example "href" parameter can be set to my Facebook fan page. But there is no mention that I can use this parameter widely for any page. Can I think, that when it is not forbidden, it is as allowed? I would need to use Like button, so users likes another page (on the same domain) then the current URL.


Angular App and SEO Crawlability - Without Hashbangs

I am reading all the articles on making a site crawlable by replacing Angular hashbangs in the URL with an escaped fragment. An example of such a tutorial: http://lawsonry.com/2014/05/diy-angularjs-seo-with-phantomjs-the-easy-way/ However, the Angular app I'm maintaining is not truly a SPA (it uses no dynamic routing and no hashbangs in the URL); it has a conventional URL structure. However, each page's individual content is highly dynamic and is built up with client-side Javascript and AJAX calls to a web service. So I still need to figure out a crawlability solution but without the ability to use escaped fragments in the URL. Any advice? What if I create a process to generate a sitemap.xml file nightly - and even loop through all the site URLs and prerender them into a folder full of static HTML files? The only missing piece is how to then be smart enough to serve up the static HTML to crawlers, while leaving the existing browser experience intact for human users. Can I simply add sitewide code to detect crawlers by checking the user-agent, and have it serve up the prerendered content in those cases? Or will this trigger red flags in Google's engine, thinking that I'm trying to "fool" it?


Our website was copied 100% and mirrored on a different domain

One of our websites was copied word for word all 400 pages by someone who used a special program to clone the site. We saw the program in the code. This was done in early April and soon after that we lost a lot of rank in Google. We just discovered the copied site today. It is mirrorred 100%. We did change the front page of our site since then to make some differences but since the Penguin update, we still have not recovered. We have also corrected the problems in Webmaster Tools. Will the mirrored site affect our Google rank to a severe degree or are there other issues that are affecting us? What can be done about that mirrored site?


Website copying our content SEO impact

Our company has a large dealer network across the US and Canada. We take an additional 25% off the products if they list our products on their website which most people do. We use to hand out code for a complete website so they could just upload it to a server change the contact numbers and be done with a site. Also we handed out snippets of our product page code that will hotlink the images from our server and provide them with a description for each product. Now there is no telling how many dealers have this exact same content on their site, possibly hundreds. I was poking around by searching a string of text that is on our website and it brought up a dealers website before ours. After investigation they have copied almost all the text from our website and placed it on theirs, from our FAQ's, testimonials, resource links, about, etc. How bad is this for our own SEO? We are currently under a manual penalty for purchased back links so our search results may be diminished already, but we do not have a duplicate content penalty. The back links were before my time at the company and so were the dealer website kits. I am the new web developer at the company and was put in charge of SEO also, something I know very little about but am learning as I go. I think we are possibly headed down a destructive path as far as SEO goes by continuing this practice. We are currently rebuilding our site from the ground up, new product descriptions, images, info, etc. So I feel this should help us out with the duplicate content if it is an issue.


How to deal with a site that has plagiarized mine?

I have an established blog that has been putting out content for a year. Today I noticed that somebody has cloned my entire website, word-for-word, and hosted it on a separate domain. When I say cloned, I mean you could put them side-by-side and they would look identical, so everything has been copied, including content, layout, etc. I looked at the source and the HTML has been copied verbatim. The new domain has only been registered a few weeks ago. Unfortunately the copied site is now outranking my real site on a few keywords in google search results! On some keywords the fake site has taken my place on the first page of the search results, and my site is no longer even listed! What can I do about this? **Update:** I filed a DCMA complaint with Google. **Update:** I just discovered that he is just using his site as a proxy to access mine. I can block his IP from accessing my site which would effectively solve the problem (maybe only temporarily?), but then what happens when Google investigates the DCMA and finds nothing?


Incomprehensible new 403 errors from Google

I recently received repeated notices from Google saying my site has an increase in 403 authorization permission errors. Looking at the chart I see that starting on July 22 the errors are indeed increasing and are now at 1168 errors. These errors seem to come from Google trying to access directories where there are no index files. There are other things in the directories: images for instance, or other directories. What I don't understand is that the "linked from" pages do not exist. They are always other directories, higher up, that contain either images or other directories too. For instance access is denied to page www.example.com/exliibris/00/9b/88/ This directory contains some html files but no index.html This directory contains only other subdirectories and no index.html. This structure of the directories hasn't changed in years, but suddenly Google started inventing links that don't exist. The whole site is indexed by Atomz and there are no errors at all (or a few that we quickly find and fix). The files that are in the directory at /00/9b/88/ are all accessible by "Fetch as Google". Google fetches the html files. Google also shows in the results of the fetch, two other files I didn't ask for: /exliibris/ the home page These two directories do have index files and they are the ones that are shown. Now, if, behind the scene, Google just goes up the hierarchy and looks for index files in all directories including in /00/9b/ and in /00/, that is fine, but when there isn't one, it shouldn't report an error. What can I do to stop getting these 403 authorization permission errors that don't mean anything, and don't correspond to any real links?


How do I setup authentication on a specific folder using .htaccess?

What payment gateways do real customers really use when given the choice?

I would like to give customers the option of paying however they can whether that be through a proper gateway (e.g. SagePay) or through something else such as PayPal, Amazon Checkout or Google Checkout. Personally I have not bought anything through the Amazon Checkout except for on Amazon.co.uk and my PayPal buys have been limited. As for Google Checkout I have no idea what that is or how it works from a consumer perspective. I understand that people buying from smaller sites are happier to pay by PayPal as they have an account already and trust PayPal. As for Amazon Payments and Google Checkout, do people actually use them if given the choice? There are a lot of people on Kindles these days, happy to buy stuff via Amazon on their Kindle. Would Amazon Payments make sense to this growing crowd? With too many payment gateways on offer it might be confusing at the checkout. Does anyone know if this is a problem for genuine customers? I also have not seen many 'pay by Amazon Payments' icons on websites (you see PayPal all the time). Does advertising the fact that you can pay by Amazon Payments increase sales, e.g. to Kindle owners that have a nebulous book- buying account that 'their other half doesn't know about'?


Googlebot received Access Denied when crawling a directory

I'm facing the same problem with Googlebot not able to crawl my page. Mine problem doesn't have anything to do with `www` or not. Google can crawl all my pages except one directory and this directory contains all images, no code. (I have other images directory and Googlebot can crawl fine). When checking Google Webmaster Tools for Crawl Error, the directory which Googlebot couldn't crawl and yield "Access Denied" error is: http://www.artistviewpoint.com/picture-to-painting/pictures/samples/. Reading the guide from Google, I have already checked my _robots.txt_ file and there is no log-in authentication of any sort. The only remaining tips which Google provide is to check the hosting provider or authentication using proxy which I do not know how to check.


Where can I safetly search domain whois without worrying about the search engine parking on the domain immediately after the search?

There are a lot of companies that provide domain whois but I've heard of a lot of people who had bad experiences where the domain was bought soon after the whois search and the price was increased dramatically. Where can I gain access to a domain whois where I don't have to worry about that happening? **Update:** **Apparently, the official name for this practice is called Domain Front Running and some sites go as far as to create explicit policies stating that they don't do it.** > This is where a domain registrar or an intermediary (like a domain lookup > site) mines the searches for possibly attractive domains and then either > sells the data to a third-party, or goes ahead and registers the name > themselves ahead of you. In one case a registrar took advantage of what's > known as the "grace period" and registered every single domain users looked > up through them and held on to them for 5 days before releasing them back > into the pool at no cost to themselves. _**Source:domainwarning.com_** **And apparently, after ICANN was notified of the practice, they wrote it off as a coincidence of random 'domain tasting'.** _**Source:See for yourself_**


Stop site being shown as the referrer

I want to hide my site as the referrer to another site, ie. i dont want my site showing up under the referrals tab in Google analytics, is there a simple way to do this ? ie. an html element somthing like `rel="noref"` ? Obviously if the user had a the Google Analytics block plugin installed it would be fine, but i cant guarantee every one has that installed. The only other way i could think of doing this is to set up a second random site (something like `ramdom727.com/`) and link to that with the actual site in the query string, then second random site would have a php script that would take the actual url from the query string and redirect to the actual site.. but this would still list the random site as the referrer and seems a little messy.


Can I put ads from more than one Google AdSense publisher under one site/page?

I have a Google AdSense **Personal** account and recently for some reasons I HAVE TO open a **company** account. Since an personal account can't be changed to a company one, I have to register a new one, with new publisher ID, then I need to replace my ads codes. My page is running under a CDN, and it has some AJAX requests on each page so there might be two situations after my switch:   1. Two different publisher ads will be put under one site. This is very likely to happen because I can't control user cache   2. Two different publisher ads will be put in one page. This is unlikely to happen, but that can still happen since some part of my pages is loaded via AJAX which can be cached. I know that AdSense has a lot of regulations and restrictions, and I don't want to challenge any of their rules and get myself into trouble, so I'd like to ask for professional suggestions for this case.

Blogger still visible after moving to WP; Google Indexing issues after moving from Blogger to WP

I recently migrated from Blogger to Wordpress and am having two major transition issues that are really hurting. Despite literally hours of searching and experimenting, I cannot resolve the following: ISSUE ONE: I fixed all of my old blogger links to 301 redirect successfully to my WP links (the 2 structures are different and I realized too late), but my old blogger blog is still sometimes visible! (the 2 designs are completely different) I had 31 hits on my blogger site just yesterday. I have updated my privacy settings to hide my blogger blog from search engines and not be visible on blogger. I also removed my custom domain from blogger already as well. HELP! Not sure how to stop this. ISSUE two: Despite submitting a new site map and reindexing my pages for my WP blog, I am not visible in search engines, although I was very visible previously. In fact, some of my OLD links are showing up. Am I being penalized?? Any thoughts on how to fix.


Does using WordPress alongside my CMS violate any search engine guidelines?

I created my own CMS for my website, so it doesn't use any general CMS. I don't have a blog right now but I plan to use WordPress core to build one (like `www.myweb.com/blog`). I will have two admin pages: one for my website & another for just my blog. I have no time to create my own blog system because it's a complex system for comments, image uploads, and categories. So for faster development, I will just create a theme and use WP core for the CMS. Will my plan violate any search engine's terms or rules for SEO? Do Google, Bing, Yahoo, Soso, or Yandex advise against this?

Creating a new 200 OK page on an address that previously served a 301 redirect?

Let's say I create a page `aaa.htm`; after some time it gets removed in favor of `bbb.htm`. At this point `aaa.htm` responds with a 301 redirect to `bbb.htm`. Now again, after some more amount of time, I create a new `aaa.htm` file again that now responds with status 200. Is this practice bad?


Combining hreflang links, canonical tags and xml:lang on multilingual, multiregional and multi-subdomains websites?

I have a multilingual and multiregional (using different subdomains) website and I'm not sure how to handle those 3 elements. To summarize here are the hreflang links that I generate on each page (internal page here):               <link href="http://mywebsite.com/" rel="alternate" hreflang="x-default" title="International" />     <link href="http://uk.mywebsite.com/internal-page" rel="alternate" hreflang="en-GB" title="Internal page">     <link href="http://fr.mywebsite.com/fr/page-interne" rel="alternate" hreflang="fr" title="Page interne">     <link href="http://be.mywebsite.com/fr/page-interne" rel="alternate" hreflang="fr-BE" title="Page interne">     <link href="http://be.mywebsite.com/nl-be/interne-pagina" rel="alternate" hreflang="nl-BE" title="Interne pagina">     <link href="http://nl.mywebsite.com/nl/interne-pagina" rel="alternate" hreflang="nl" title="Interne pagina">     <link href="http://it.mywebsite.com/it/pagina-interna" rel="alternate" hreflang="it" title="Pagina interna">     <link href="http://ch.mywebsite.com/de/internen-seite" rel="alternate" hreflang="de-CH" title="Internen Seite">     <link href="http://ch.mywebsite.com/fr/page-interne" rel="alternate" hreflang="fr-CH" title="Page interne">      Where the default domain (`http://mywebsite.com/`) isn't a country selector dedicated page (although there is a country-language selector on top of the page). It is in fact our international version of the website that contains only english content.   1. Are the above links correct? and is the title attribute relevant/useless or wrong?   2. Canonical tags are absolute links. E.g. in an internal page of Italian domain in italian language. `<link rel="canonical" href="http://it.mywebsite.com/it/pagina-interna">`   3. I use XHTML 1.0. What values should I use on `xml:lang` attributes on the HTML tag?


Best Strategy for Exact Match Domain (EMD) Along Side Branded Domain

I lucked out and managed to buy a two word .com EMD for the most important key-phrase for our b2b SaaS startup. Shutting down our branded domain isn't an option, we've already got too much invested in that brand (not in terms of SEO but in terms of other marketing efforts). The brand domain at present hasn't really been optimised for this key-phrase and we haven't invested any effort in SEO to date on that domain, but now we have some resources and want to make a big push for that key-phrase. So what is the best strategy for an EMD when you want already have a branded domain that you don't want to close or have penalised in some way?


Domain transfer and New Hosting Management

I wanted to migrate from my older registrar to GoDaddy. Main reason because current registrar/hosting provider doesn't support **.NET**. My old registrar gave me control over the domain and hosting account. So, basically I have everything I would need. ( I know theory only ) I applied for Transfer of domain, bought a hosting package from GoDaddy and uploaded new web site. So, I am waiting for domain transfer and it tells me that I have to wait for 5-7 days for approval. Okay. But today, my old registrar told/taunted me that I really didn't need to apply for transfer. What could possibly I have done differently? My domain expires on this 15th. Now I don't know much about how all of this really works, but I am guessing he meant, " ** _you should have waited for 15 days and let it expire after which you should buy the domain as it is expired_** ". **Is it really so** (I doubt) or **there are some other ways I could have got same result but without transferring domain**? (like, changing DNS entries) I have read like all of the documentation available on namecheap/GoDaddy/Whois about domain transfers. But maybe because I am new to this it is all confusing to me. I would also like to know what to do with DNS settings after transfer succeeds. I want to kill the old website. So, **what nameserver settings I need to change, new one or old one or both?** I have **old host+old domain registrar + old working site** on one hand, on the other hand, **new site + pending domain transfer + new DNS settings**.


How can I prevent another site from trying to phish my customers by cloning the look and feel of my site?

I have a site hosted on Godaddy. Recently, another site _that I don't control_ has copied the look and feel of my site. They look exactly like my site, except the domains are different.. Godaddy's staff said there is nothing they can do to prevent that site cloning the look and feel of my site. Is there anything I can do to stop another site from effectively cloning my site? How can I keep my customers from being duped by this?

Is there a flash/html5 audio player that allows links to jump to a specfic time?

I am looking for a web audio player to embed on my website that allows links to jump to a specific time in the audio, a la youtube. I am uploading lecture audio from lectures that are over an hour. I'd like to provide a way to link to specific times in the audio to jump to different topics, just like in youtube comments where users can enter 00:33 and have it turned in to a link that, when clicked, will jump to 00:33 part of the video. I can't seem to find anything that can do this. The site is only for myself and a few friends, FYI, so wide compatibility is not required.


How do you generally find out the riskiness of a domain name? (concerning trademarks)

My domain would look like "tiltblah.com". I don't want to mention the real domain name here, because it might be registered by someone else then. I'd like to register this domain, because I want to create a website with about PC games. I've searched the US and EU trademark databases and found trademark holders like "Full Tilt" and simmilar. Let's say my domain name goes like "tiltfun.com", and my website is about games, Full Tilt poker (ignoring the fact that they might be out of business) is about games too. This seems to be a risk to me. Same branch of trade & the word "Tilt" is used => risk? And if there's a trademark holder from a completely different branch of trade, dish washers or anything, owning the trademark "Tilt". Would they want to sue me? In Germany branch of trade is important. If it differs, simmillar domain name holders can peacefully coexist. I was never so cautios until there was somebody sued by BMW for using the word MINI and somebody in Germany was imho sued because he used a "t-" in his domain name. Deutsche Telekom owns "T-". In case this question is too specific, how do you generally find out the riskiness of a domain name?


Recommended shopping cart: Paypal Payment Pro Integrate into existing site

I ve done research on various shopping carts for way too long now, but I can't seem to find a shopping cart that is SIMPLE, LIGHT-WEIGHT, and easy to INTEGRATE into my existing website. I will have PayPal website pro and want to give the user the option to pay at my site or through paypal. Does anybody have any recommendation for such a shopping cart (open source/commercial)? Please if you do, let me know! I don't want to hand code bc 1.) I don't want to reinvent the wheel and 2.) I probably wouldn't make it as secure as it should It's also important to mention that I would ideally like to use just one database for my website. I already have the databases setup for users, so whatever the shopping cart, it should fit/blend right into my website design AND also give enough flexibility to integrate with existing database tables. Thanks!

What is the appropriate HTML markup for LinkedIn status updates?

I am using WordPress to power my website. I use WordPress SEO by Yoast as an SEO plugin of choice. It's a nice plugin, adds appropriate markup for Twitter, Facebook and Google Plus. However, I noticed when posting company status updates on LinkedIn with links to a blog post of even just a page on our WordPress website, LinkedIn doesn't seem to pickup any thumbnails, title, or description. Is there any special HTML markup required in order to help LinkedIn automatically know these things about my blog posts or pages when I post company status updates?

Unmanaged Ubuntu Server - What would I be getting myself into?

I'm considering purchasing an unmanaged VPS with a Ubuntu 12.04 server to host smaller sites that aren't very important _yet_. My plan would be to install webadmin and basically administrate the hosting end that way. My question is: What am I getting myself into? I'm fairly comfortable with Ubuntu. I know enough to 'sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade.' What else would I have to worry about aside from the usual keeping my scripts (mainly WordPress) up to date?

.htaccess Redirect based on subdomain

I'm looking for some help in accomplishing redirects based on the subdomain. For example if some tries to access: > http://1.test.com it will redirect to: > /file.php?test=something and if they go to: > http://2.test.com it will redirect to: > /file.php?test=somethingelse I only need the root redirected, so if they go to: > http://1.test.com/blah it will not redirect. I know the basics of creating htaccess files, I just can't seem to get it right for some reason to accomplish this. Any help is highly appreciated. Thanks. P.S. I should mention that all these subdomains point to the same document root.


How to make so that a first domain name redirects to second one but the URL displays the first domain name?

I have first domain name registered with some domain name registrar, for which I don't have web hosting account, only dns hosting. I have second domain name registered with godaddy, with web hosting account. I want to redirect the first domain name to the second one so that when the user types the first domain name, what is displayed is the contents of the second domain name, but URL displays first domain name. So for example if I type "firstdomain.com/smth/index.html" it will show me contents of "seconddomain.com/smth/index.html", but URL bar will show "firstdomain.com/smth/index.html". I tried to do this by setting CNAME on the first domain like this "firstdomain.com -> seconddomain.com", but it seems that it is impossible to set a CNAME record that starts with the first domain name, and points to the second. You can only set up CNAME records that start with subdomains of the first domain. So I can make "www.firstname.com -> seconddomain.com" but not "firstdomain.com -> seconddomain.com". How can I solve this problem? And after I set up the CNAME for the first domain, what do I need to change in my godaddy account so that everything works as intended? Do I need to change something in the dns records for the second domain as well?


What is the name of Google's tool to enhance page appearance?

Once I found one online tool from Google providing ability to indicate the designation of parts of page (i.e. product price, product photo, description and so on).

Could anybody point me in the right direction?


Is there a good tool for HTML content generation by less technical stakeholders?

I am the webmaster and everything else technical for a tiny startup company. Some static content is being written in MS-Word by stakeholders. What is the best process to get HTML content instead? They aren't married to MS-Word, and the content is pretty simple. Can someone recommend a simple HTML editor for this purpose? I can set up the initial document structure, they just need to modify or extend the content. I think it would simplest if they could do this offline, opening the HTML file in some Windows application, and then send me the updated file for installation. Later I will want them to be able to upload the content to the test site.

URL rewrite subfolder to root and forbid accessing subfolder

I have Drupal installed in a subfolder `drupal` but I want to access pages as it is in root folder: `http://www.example.com` instead of `http://www.example.com/drupal` I'm able to have this working, but it's also working with URL containing subfolder, so I have `http://www.example.com` and a clone site in `http://www.example.com/drupal`. ## What is the rule to forbid access to subfolder?

Find demographic of keywords

I am using google keyword tool to make some research about "penang Island". There is any way to find out how people uses those keywords when there is a search? Something like which is their country or any other data like this that would help me understand who could be interested in this place and what exactly he/she wants to do there? It seems that I cannot make myself clear, so I will try again with an example: I would like to know from google that in the last month the searches for "penang island" came from 50% germany, 20% france, 10% UK, and so on, or another example: 30% of people looking for penang island are looking for hotels, 20% are looking for beaches and so on. Can you give me any help on how to do that?


Looking for a google search engine style html/css template

I'm looking for a google search engine style html/css template, paid or unpaid, doesn't need to be exactly the same. Just sort of a minimal style search engine design template. Where can I find such templates?


Does https affect me from being indexed?

In my .htaccess, I am forwarding all non secure traffic to https:               RewriteCond %{SERVER_PORT} !^443$     RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://site.com/$1 [R=permanent]      My website still hasn't been indexed yet and when I check link:mysite.com, nothing shows up. Why might that be?


What are applications like IdeaBox called?

I'm trying to figure out the generic name for systems that allows users to contribute with the development of new features. Kickass Torrents has a very interesting app in it's site named IdeaBox and it's divided in stages such as: suggestions, planned, in progress, completed. It has a voting feature for everyone with more than 100 reputation and that's pretty much all. I wanna look at opensource alternatives but that's not possible if I don't know how it's generically named.


If my domains expire and my hosting is still active, how can I get my previous site to display on a new domain?

Ok, so here's what happened. Last year I registered two domains(very important!) with an email address I no longer have access to(and I don't know the security questions). Same with the namecheap account where I registered the domains. So I DO NOT have access to either my email or my registrar account. So I now can not renew my domains. I hosted them with a different host and they are still active, and here's my question. I want to know whether or not I can have the same sites that were previously on domain1.com to display and function the same on domain1.info So in other words, domain1.com is the domain that expired, and I want my new site to be the same but display on domain1.info. Is that possible and if so HOW!? Thank you so much for any help. I am really ecstatic right now because they won't give me access even though I've proven I purchased the domains!


Apache server not able to read cookies from Browser

I have developed a login authentication page using cookies (with spring security) where for the first time, the user will need to get itself authenticated. Once the user gets successfully authenticated, then on each subsequent request from the same browser, the user will redirected to the success page. The code is working fine on               localhost:8080       but the problem is I have configured Apache HTTP server and when I hit the request through the Apache server to the application, then I think the cookies are not been read by the Apache server. I have enabled the cookies in httpd.conf file (but it is not working) as well by               LoadModule usertrack_module modules/mod_usertrack.so      and               <VirtualHost *>         ServerName localhost         CookieTracking on         ProxyPass / http://localhost:8080/stackoverflow/     </VirtualHost>      Please let me know what am I doing wrong


in Web Design What format does Web Designer, Developer and Client prefer? Is it PSD, AI, EPS. or Firework's PNG

I would assume that the answer would be Photoshop PSD, But It would just be a biased opinion. What are your thoughts? I recently find illustrator to be fast in position stuff, at the same time my elements are in vector (crisp and sharp). while in Photoshop, as my images/elements grows, my layers also grows and the memory usage grows, Photoshop will then slow down. Making my overall workflow slowdown. So the idea for this is If I have some raster images that needs some Photoshop effect, I will just switch to Photoshop and finish that effect. then switch to illustrator and import that image to my whole design. Maybe it's just my workflow in Photoshop that isn't optimize thats why I find it very inefficient. I think this also goes with fireworks. I've used these 3 application for web design. I've had long relationship with Photoshop in terms of web design. Back to my question, what do you usually use for Web Design? and does it affect Designer,Developer and Client in your project?


Can I host a high traffic website at home?

I've been searching this up on google but I can't formulate my google search with the right terms to find an accurate answer to my question. Is it possible to have a super-fast connection at home to host a high traffic website? What is the generic term for that kind of connection? What's the major drawback of hosting at home? (I have no idea of the price range but it's probably quite expensive) Do you have to be a company to have the right to own such a connection?


Can forwarding https://example.com requests to https://www.example.com be a security risk?

I maintain a retail store's eCommerce website, provided by a 3rd party. The HTTPS links do not load ('ERR_CONNECTION_TIMED_OUT') unless you put in the WWW before the doman name. The HTTP links forward to their respective www counterparts. This 3rd party has explained that HTTPS links would need to be forwarded to the `www` URLs as well but "Webforwards do not forward https." I am left with a sense that this will not be followed up on. Practically speaking, I don't think we will have any shoppers manually going in and typing `https://store.com` and encountering this issue. However, it doesn't seem to be good practice. I checked google, yahoo, bing, shopify, and bankofamerica all forward you to their www if you do just https://domain.com. What makes this not commonplace? It looks like Amazon forwards you to their standard http if not on a need-to-be-secure page. Is there a security hole that could arise as a result of forwarding `https://example.com` requests to `https://www.example.com`? Why would anyone want to have an error when you could have it forward to somewhere?

Is pyramid link building a good practice for SEO?

Can someone help me to understand please? Is pyramid link building a to do practice for SEO? Does it work as per example below? Tier 3 pyramid building for SEO...   * Tier 3 site, links to Tier 2 site...   * Tier 2 site has _keyword_ links to profile site   * Profile site has links to `http://yourdomain.com/` Does Google associate the _keyword_ with your domain, thus ranking it higher within the search field?

Adding UTM tracking hurt existing backlinks?

We have content on some of our partner's websites like the Chamber of Commerce, etc. I would like to have better tracking on this data and was considering adding UTM tags to them. If we modified these backlinks with updated UTM tags, would that hurt our existing backlinks?


Is there any way to prevent Googlebar from breaking Friendly 404s

This might be considered a continuation of this question. If I output HTML after my 404 header, It displays properly in IE and FF unless the user has Google bar instaled. If I try               header('HTTP/1.x 404 Not Found');     header("Location: http://www.example.com/?content=404_error");     die();      then I'm getting 302 from the redirect. It seems to overrule the 404 Supposedly if your output is larger than 512 bytes, the toolbar isn't supposed to override the page, but It seems to do it anyway. I found a setting in Google's Toolbar that said "Provide suggestions on navigation errors". Turning that off provides me with the behaviour I want my visitors to experience. Does anyone know if Google provides a way for a developer to over-ride that setting for all visitors?


Simple blogging platform

I want to start and host my own blog. I have ideas for creating the website theme myself. However, I would prefer to not create the actual engine behind the blog -- comments, creating posts, caching everything, creating and managing the post database, spam protection or CAPTCHA of some sort... basic blog features. Honestly, I'm just hoping for something barebones that I can just do something like, `<?php include('comment_list.php'); ?>` where I want comments to show up on a post. Similar functions to that. (This is a little oversimplified, but hopefully it's understood what I'm getting at) This may be a little far-fetched. I'm not looking for the ability to have plugins, themes or user sessions and things of that nature. Just post creation, comment creation and caching are the big things I'm hoping for. I don't know if I can explain this any better. I'm just looking for the bare minimum.


JQuery Plugin files getting viruses even with CHMOD 755

I have a bunch of JQuery plugins (eg: masonry, isotope, carousel, etc) within a JavaScript folder in my root. These have been repeatedly infected with viruses making Google put alerts on my site. The permissions for the folders are 755 but they are still getting infected. I am using the ModX Revo (latest) CMS. Is there anything I can do?


Finding Google Analytics parent account of a tracking code

I have a Google Analytics tracking code for a website and I can't find which account it is on. Is there any way of finding which Google account the tracking code belongs to? I am guessing it is probably impossible due to privacy issues. Any help would be appreciated.


I am looking for a script where users can create groups cms/social interaction site

I am trying to find a Content Mangement/social interaction script that requires a person to be a part of a group. Specifically: My daughter is a cheerleader and there are a number of cheer groups she is involved in and also has friends in many others. A lot of them could use some kind of website where they can share information between their team members and coach. The coach being the controller of the group and who can join etc. "Group Leader"? One can only join the group if invited or given a password or some such security. There would be multipel groups or in this case multiple cheer squads who were registered as groups and the cheerleaders a part of their group. The coach or group leader would have control of the group calender and they may have their own calendars and be messaging between them and/or other social interactions. IN a perfect world they could modify their own pages individualy. Communication could go globally or only to the group and a "friends or buddy" system. I think you get the idea. I really like OCportal and what it does and can do but it does not have the group funcitionality I am looking for. Perhaps I am just going to need to see about getting aprogrammer to write an add on for me if ther is nothing like this out there. But if you know of any I would appreciate being pointed in that direction.


Determining competitor's most popular pages

Are there any tools that can show me a competitor's most popular pages, or even which keywords he is ranking in the top 10 for?


Total Indexed 0, 99 not selected in webmaster tools

I recently changed domain names from xxx.com to xxx.ca I created all the 301's submitted sitemaps and submitted a change of address to google webmaster tools on Dec 16th. I've since seen urls change in search results, and things seemed to be working, so I switched the site from drupal to wordpress with identical content with different page templates, etc. Organic traffic has dropped dramatically since the 19th. At first I thought it was the season, but the traffic should have rebounded by now. I took a look at the index status of the pages for the two domains and this is what I'm seeing for the old domain: ![enter image description here](http://i.stack.imgur.com/VKfQr.jpg) and this is what I'm seeing for the new domain: ![enter image description here](http://i.stack.imgur.com/IUhD4.jpg) any idea why the old site is showing up as indexed, while the new site is showing up as "not selected"? UPDATE: I ran some custom reports and isolated organic traffic in canada vs the US and it seems like canadian traffic has seen a slight uptick while US traffic has gone down dramatically. This is ok with us for the most part since this is a site for a clinic and we treat people in Canada. However... this still does not explain the distribution of which pages are indexed vs not.

How can I avoid a classifieds site network as being labled as a link farm?

I have a local classifieds website. We started as one, and now we want to open it up to the surrounding communities. Here is how we currently have it structured. There are 3 domains: classifieds1.com classifieds2.com classifieds3.com When you visit any of the sites it first displays content from that particular domain first, in the order of most recent posts. Then, in that same domain, it potentially can show the listings for the other two, listed in order of distance from the user. If you were to find an item and click it, then, it would open the item on the other domains if that were indeed where they were originally posted. We did this specifically to avoid duplicate content. We also took a page from the craiglist playbook where, if the there are no search results but some in the next closest cl subdomain vicinity, then it will show those. In our minds minds we were accomplishing 3 goals: 1) Allow people a hyper local classifieds resource with the flexibility to search beyond their local community; 2) avoid duplicate content 3) positively influence link building. Of course we want to add to this network as demand grows with each new site having its own domain name and branding. Is that the case or did we just inadvertadently create a link farm that's about to be heavily penalized by search engines? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Link_farm If so, what is a strategy to avoid this, or better yet, help us appropriately structure our content for both a positive user experience as well as seo value?


Impressions and traffic dropped by 70 %

Can anyone advise why my impressions dropped and traffic as well? I used to have very generic keywords such as:   * anti aging,   * anti wrinkle,   * face cream,   * eye cream. I thought they were bad and made the keywords more specific:   * anti wrinkle eye cream,   * anti aging face cream,   * etc. Following that change, my impressions and traffic dropped dramatically! I used to get **45+** visitors a day, now I get **15-** visitors a day. What is the way forward? I thought what I did to the keywords was good?


How often Google checks for duplicate content?

I'm curious - I want to know does Google check for duplicate content everytime it crawls a web page or once in 6 months or so. Do this checking similar to what Copyscape does? Wouldn't it be a big overhead, how does Google handle it?


Could content checked by Copyscape still be a duplicate?

I mean if I check using copyscape when buying articles is it going to be fool- proof way of knowing if it was never published on internet? I understand it would not catch those articles who haven't been indexed yet by say Google (within 6 weeks or so).


Rel=alternate / canonical implemented for mobile, canonical not being respected

I manage an ecommerce website that has mobile URLs on a subdomain, so m.rootdomain.com. On the mobile URLs, there's a canonical pointing to the relevant product on the www. subdomain (desktop site). (The canonicals on the site don't have spaces between the < and "link" but weren't showing up otherwise.) < link rel="canonical" href="http://www.rootdomain.com/blue-shirt"> On the www subdomain (the desktop site), there's a self-referencing canonical to the product and a rel=alternate link to the mobile product: < link rel="canonical" href="http://www.rootdomain.com/blue-shirt" />< link rel="alternate" media="only screen and (max-width: 640px)" href="http://m.rootdomain.com/blue-shirt" /> My question is, why are my mobile URLs being indexed? We're following Google's guidelines on this (found here: https://developers.google.com/webmasters/smartphone-sites/details) Any insight on this would be great.


A method to edit html email templates easily

I'm designing and developing some html **email templates** for mass mailings. I was asked to provide an easy solution for a non-technical person to edit them safely and easily. I'm afraid conventional WYSIWYG editors can replace the "old style" code required for e-mail by more "modern style" code, not compatible with some e-mail clients. I will test the templates in the main mail clients, but it's not practical to ask this to be done every time they edit them. The person would not know how to fix them anyway. What do you recommend? I thought about building an html generator that would convert the data from a form into source code, but it seems that is a lot of work. **Note:** I can not change the email sending provider. (It's Silverpop.)


Meta refresh tag works locally (on WebLogic server), but not remotely

I have a development environment on my machine and a remote shared development environment. Both have "identically" configured WebLogic 10.3 servers. On my local dev environment, the meta tag below works as expected. However, upon being deployed to the mirroring WebLogic 10.3 server, the meta tag no longer works:               <meta http-equiv="refresh" content="5; URL=sessionTimedOut.jspx"/>      Here's my code:               <?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?>     <jsp:root xmlns:jsp="http://java.sun.com/JSP/Page" version="2.1"           xmlns:f="http://java.sun.com/jsf/core"           xmlns:af="http://xmlns.oracle.com/adf/faces/rich">         <jsp:directive.page contentType="text/html;charset=UTF-8"/>         <f:view>         <meta http-equiv="refresh" content="5; URL=sessionTimedOut.jspx"/>         <af:document id="d1" title="#{backing_login.appTitle} - Logged Out">         <af:resource type="javascript"/>     </af:document>     </f:view>     </jsp:root>      The browser I'm using is IE9, and the Weblogic install is essentially a default installation. The changes made were creating a domain and establishing JDBC connections.


Changing amounts on Authorize.NET/Paypal recurring payments

I'm writing a system that will bill people a certain recurring amount per month/quarter/year. During that period, the customer may earn credits against his next bill. The approach I'm considering is to alter the customer's billing amount before the next billing cycle, then adjust it back up after the cycle. The problem I'm anticipating is that I know (from personal experience) that PayPal doesn't allow you to adjust a recurring billing amount by more than 20 or 25% (I forget which). I haven't managed to get a clear answer from the developer forums on Auth.NET (my question here - nobody has answered in over 2 days), so I'm hoping one of the nice developers here on SO will have some experience dealing with PayPal and/or Auth.NET, and can give me some pointers as to what the best approach is to deal with this. Also, what should I do if the customer upgrades his account to a package that's more than the allowed increase percentage? Should I kill his old profile and make him fill in his card/PayPal details again? Or is there a way of doing this that obviates the need to make him pull out his credit card again?


Getting my old domain name back from a hosting company

I want my old domain name but it is owned by some web hosting co in Japan, I can't understand their site. I don't know why they would want my name except that it is still very well indexed with lots of links pointing to it on the internet. It was a little jewelry business that I let go 7 years ago. I would like to just grab my domain with all those links that will then go right to the site. I'm sure they'll charge a big price, if I change just a couple letters or add to the name, then I lose all those nice directory links I worked to get a few years ago. My old customers are still mentioning the site on the internet as well. How can I get it back without paying very much? It was a small, very small business for pete's sake. I have a Japanese friend, she could try to intercede for me, but what should I look out for to protect my interests?


pagination and duplicate content with one paragraph in each page with totally different listing

I have a module in my site which can be accessed like `sitename.com/module/` This module has pagination. In the first page i have two paragraphs which describe about the site. This will appear in all pages and pagination links can be crawled. So page 1 will have two para and a set of listing and page 2 will have the same para with totally different set of listing. So here the paragraph is duplicated were as the listing below the paragraph are nonidentical that is they are unique for all pages. Also the title tag and description are duplicated for all pages.... Assuming that I am adding page 2, page 3 to title tags and description... will it make a difference... will that too be considered duplicate content... (because only the words page 2 are page 3 is extra in the title and description of all pages... The rest of the title text ares same... like 'once upon a time page 1' for first page and once upon a time page 2 for the second page and so on. I assume to following to not to be penalized by search engines as duplicate.   1. I can make that paragraph appear only in first page and I can hide for all other pages   2. If I do the above then the title, description will be duplicate though I add extra text like 'page 2' in the title and description and in the content above the to para   3. Or instead of the above 2 points i can use canonical URL for pagination. **This this correct? besides my questions are:**   1. Can I have duplicate title tags while using canonical URL?   2. While using canonical URL and duplicate content in title with the string 'page 2'... will it makes a difference. for example the title is 'once there lived a king' and then other pages will have 'once there lived a king page 2', etc...   3. If using canonical URL can I have a paragraph in all pages or should I show it on only first page to prevent duplicate content.   4. Of I am not using canonical URL and showing the same static para in all pages with different listing and 'page 2', page 3 in title... will it become duplicate content? I hope this makes sense, if you find anything is confusing then please specify in comments so that i will update my question according to your suggestion.


setting up freedns with an existing domain

I've been running a webserver off of a pc at a static IP successfully for the past 5 months. recently however, I've moved into another apartment and my ISP only provides a dynamic IP (my IP changes from time to time). I'm not an internet genius but I was thinking to fix this by using a Dynamic DNS provider. So I got on the web and found freedns. I'm a bit confused about how to set up everything though. I've managed to succesfully install the IP updater daemon on my web server. Then, in my registrars control panel, I set the `NS` records to point at `ns1` through `ns4.afraid.org` (removing the old `NS` records). I'm not certain what I should do with the `A` records though (for now they are still pointing to the old static IP address). I have `A` records for `www`, `blog`, `irc`, etc. but I cannot point them at my new IP address, because it isn't Could someone explain this in the clearest possible sense (perhaps elaborating on what happens at each step of the DNS process). I never really knew what the `A` records are for anyway. _(note that I haven't really found any documentation atthe freedns website, or on google)_

How did Google manage to crawl my 403 pages?

I had a couple private files in a directory on my school folder. You could see that the files existed by going to myschool.edu/myusername/myfolder, but trying to access the files themselves via myschool.edu/myusername/myfolder/myfile.html returns a 403 error. And yet Google somehow managed to grab the contents of those private files and store them in its cache! How is this possible? [I've since removed those files, so I'm just curious how Google managed to do this.]

How to block access to a sub-site with mod_rewrite?

Let's say I have the sites siteA.com and siteB.com. They are hosted such that siteB.com actually points to siteA.com/siteB. How can I block someone from visiting siteA.com/siteB using `mod_rewrite`? So far I've tried this to no avail (in root of siteA.com):               RedirectMatch 301 ^/siteB/$ http://someothersite.com/


Backlinks and SEO

Is the SEO value the same for backlinks coming from other pages within the same site and backlinks coming from another site? And is there a difference in value between a backlink coming from a site that has the same topic and a backlink coming from a site that has another topic Thanks.


How can I keep my privacy while owning multiple domain names?

I want to own, create and run few domains. I do not want 'whois' to have my name, home address and home phone available to anyone who looks me up. I've already bought a mailbox that I can use for my physical address. But... that doesn't get my name and number question answered. What is the best way to be anonymous yet still be legal? Do I need to incorporate all my sites and get an LLC? Can I create a company name without becoming an LLC? Then there's the phone number.... Thanks in advance to all who respond!


Google analytics in E-commerce iframe not tracking source

I have a ticket booking system in an iframe. I am tracking sales but the source of the sales is not being recorded. I'm trying to shed some light on why this might be. The code on the parent page is as follows:               <script type="text/javascript">       (function(i,s,o,g,r,a,m){i['GoogleAnalyticsObject']=r;i[r]=i[r]||function(){       (i[r].q=i[r].q||[]).push(arguments)},i[r].l=1*new Date();a=s.createElement(o),       m=s.getElementsByTagName(o)[0];a.async=1;a.src=g;m.parentNode.insertBefore(a,m)       })(window,document,'script','//www.google-analytics.com/analytics.js','ga');            function addiFrame(divId, url, opt_hash) {         return function(tracker) {           window.linker = window.linker || new window.gaplugins.Linker(tracker);           var iFrame = document.createElement('iFrame');           iFrame.src = window.linker.decorate(url, opt_hash);           document.getElementById(divId).appendChild(iFrame);         };       }            ga('create', 'XX-REDACTED-X', 'theparentwebsite.com');       ga('send', 'pageview');       ga(addiFrame('tickets-iframe', 'https://www.theticketwebsite.com/'));     </script>      I have access to the ticket website source code, so I can update if needs be.

2 domains, same website in plesk

I have a domain with a SSL at `https://www.domain1.com`. I want that `http://www.domain2.com` shows the same website as domain1 (same website folder). I've tried with domain alias in Plesk but it's redirecting to `https://www.domain1.com`. Any ideas please?


Can I redirect a new domain to a specific pg without affecting that page's search standing?

I want to redirect a new domaim (that has not been used before) to a specific page on a site which already has good standing in search results - I want to do this instead of forwarding because I need the redirect to land on a page which is neither the index page or the index for a subdomain. Is this possible to do this without affecting the good SEO status of the page that is being redirected to, and without that original page disappearing from the SERPs? The idea is to use another domain name as a marketing slogan which promotes traffic to the existing page without changing the original page's standing in SERPS, so I'm also wondering if BOTH URLs will appear in search results using different queries.


How can I setup second Wordpress for an AddOn domain?

I already have a blog which is installed in a sub folder and with its .htaccess and index.php in the root of my host. My host allows me to run multiple websites with my single host account and I added a second domain as an addon domain. My problem is, I am having trouble to run my second blog using the addon domain. I tried installing it in separate folder and I can access it with `www.addondomain.com/foldername/`, but cannot access it from `www.addondomain.com`. How can I do that? I tried changing the wordpress site URL from the dashboard.


Crawling web to build a directory of a niche industry for SEO

I heard that some web sites crawl web to build a directory of companies in a niche domain. So, when people search for the name of the company they find that directory page. I wonder if this is really effective? Isn't this considered as duplicate content since the presented information was collected from some web site?

How to install mod_ssl for Apache

I have installed Apache httpd a while ago and have recently come back to it to try setup SSL and get it serving several different tomcat servers. At the moment I have two completely separate tomcat instances serving up to slightly different versions (one for Dev and one for demo say) my web app to two different ports; `mydomain.com:8081` and `mydomain.com:8082` I've successfully (back in Jan) used mod_jk to get httpd to serve those same tomcat instances to `http://www.mydomain.com:8090/dev` and `http://www.mydomain.com:8090/dem`o (8090 cos I've got another app running on 8080 via Jetty at this stage) using the following code in httpd.conf;               LoadModule jk_module modules/mod_jk.so     JkWorkersFile conf/workers.properties     JkLogFile logs/mod_jk.log     JkLogLevel debug          <VirtualHost *:8090>         JkMount /devd* tomcatDev         JkMount /demo* tomcatDemo     </VirtualHost>      What I'm not trying to do is enable SSL I've added the following to httpd.conf               Listen 443     <VirtualHost _default_:443>         JkMount /dev* tomcatDev         JkMount /demo* tomcatDemo         SSLEngine on         SSLCertificateFile "/opt/httpd/conf/localhost.crt"         SSLCertificateKeyFile "/opt/httpd/conf/keystore.key"     </VirtualHost>      But when I try to restart Apache with "apachectl restart" (yes after shutting down that other app I mentioned so it doesn't toy with https connections) I continuously get the error; **"Invalid command 'SSLEngine', perhaps misspelled or defined by a module not included in the server configuration. httpd not running, trying to start"** I've looked in the httpd/modules dir and indeed there is no mod_ssl, only mod_jk.so and httpd.exp. I've tried using yum to install mod_ssl, it says its already installed. Indeed I can locate mod_ssl.so in /usr/lib/httpd/modules but this is NOT the path to where I've installed httpd which is /opt/httpd and in fact /usr/lib/httpd contains nothing but the modules dir. Can anyone tell me how to install mod_ssl properly for my installed location of httpd so I can get past this error:


SSL Warranty - Meaningless?

Lots of SSL seem to come with a warranty:               Extended Validation, Green Address Bar     40-bit minimum to 256-bit encryption     USD $100,000 warranty     VeriSign Trust™ Seal and services       Has anyone in history ever managed to claim on the warranty? Are they just a gimmick? Should it affect my purchasing choice?


To disallow indexing the category and tag listings in a blog

Mark Wilson says that category and tag listings in a blog should be disallowed in order to prevent duplicate content. I understand this. However, I want to put internal links on keywords in the blog posts to the tag and category pages in order for the readers to find more relevant content. I wonder whether putting those internal links to the category/tag pages which are disallowed in robots.txt is counted as useful from the perspective of SEO internal linking?


how to retrieve img alt text with jquery or javascript?

Which is the code with which we can retreive alternative text of image: It is a Cataloge with clothes. Dressers, Shirts, Skirts e.t.c. in front page of a site.

SEO effects of intermix of WP blog, custom PHP site and FB app game

We're a melbourne tech company in the process of building a custom site in PHP. We plan to launch a "pre-launch" page which is also custom coded (CSS3 on twitter bootstrap framework + HTML5 front end and PHP back end). On that site will be a link to a blog - the idea behind this is to build up ranking for a variety of relevant keywords prior to the full site going live (given the majority of the site is a member only community anyway so the blog is really the main way we'll be able to execute on-site SEO. Ideally, we would like to install wordpress in a subdirectory on our servers and just customise the header to look the same as the landing page of the website. But some questions and concerns...   1. Is there any detrimental effect on SEO efforts in having two separate systems (one custom PHP, the other an installation of wordpress) to manage the blog vs the rest of the site?   2. Are there any benefits or detriments to installing on a sub domain such as blog.sitename.com vs. sitename.com/blog. My preference would be sitename.com/blog as it feels neater - but open to suggestions based on knowledge of Google preferences.   3. Separately, we are building a Facebook app which is under another site name. Again because we are launching this app first, from an SEO perspective, would it actually be better to run it from a sub domain on the main site - e.g. gamename.mainsitename.com instead of on app.gamename.com? Currently we have it on app.gamename.com, but if there are SEO benefits to moving it to the other domain and server then we'll do it.  Basically we don't want to have our SEO efforts divided - will Google algorithms prefer two sites heavily referring traffic, or is it better to focus our efforts on one. I guess that's the crux of the issue. But the other one is - does Google care about traffic accessing a page built for the Facebook app iFrame - does that count toward rankings? Sorry I hope these questions aren't too complex - but we're in the tech world every day and still can't seem to find a good answer to these ones...hence I'm taking to the forums!! Free beer for whoever can give me a solid answer!


Rewrite rule not matching second level directory URL

I have this .htaccess in a po_systems folder of my website               # Set up mod_rewrite     RewriteEngine on     RewriteRule ^build_system/([^/]+)/([^/]+)/?$ /po_systems/build_system.php?business_id=$1&system_id=$2      and when I visit the URL:               http://somesite.localhost/po_systems/build_system/61/65F92751      the get variables are not displaying. I changed the rule to               RewriteRule ^build_dfdsadsafas/([^/]+)/([^/]+)/?$ /po_systems/build_system.php?business_id=$1&system_id=$2      to verify it was getting there and I still don't get the get variables, so I tried to add junk at the beginning to verify the htaccess is working               sssRewriteRule ^build_system/([^/]+)/([^/]+)/?$ /po_systems/build_system.php?business_id=$1&system_id=$2      and I got this               Internal Server Error     The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request.      So basically my question is why is this rule               RewriteRule ^build_system/([^/]+)/([^/]+)/?$ /po_systems/build_system.php?business_id=$1&system_id=$2      is not working for catching this URL                http://somesite.localhost/po_systems/build_system/61/65F92751d


Google Analytics: is it possible to see source of people who click the Like button on a website?

Is it possible to see what source people who clicked the Like button on my website came from?? (It would also be useful to know who they are, but looking through previous posts here, as far as I gather, it seems it's not possible to see who Liked a webpage; though installing the Fb Like button option that has faces of people who Liked the page, might come some way to doing this...)


Simple CMS for clients?

I'm looking for something fairly simple for clients to use and very easy for me to skin (somewhat complicated themes). something like Perch or Couchcms, but has to be open source to satisfy some license requirements.. I can't really seem to find any CMS that is like this {Wordpress, drupal etc are _way_ too heavy for this use} , really appreciated There aren't much requirements, anything will really work - each site gets their own jailed instance and stuff, just PHP/MySQL


Is it acceptable practice to change the behavior of old HTML tags?

Best Way to "Launch" A Site That's Being Developed

I am currently developing a website that will be officially marketed for and "launched" months from now. This site has minimal content at the moment but will soon start having more and more content as i complete the development of various components. My question is this: In terms of search engine optimization is it best to release a site with TONS of pages, or release a site and demonstrate constant updates/content additions?... And why? :) In the first scenario i would wait until launch/market day and then turn the site on w/o thousands of pages... In the second scenario, i would just develop/release new features content as they come and on the "official" launch day start marketing the site


How to optimize image in Google search if it is a background?

I have many images, and for a pretty view and better css control I mark them up as

Apache2 virtual host localhost doesn't render CSS when offline because of absolute path

I'm running apache2 on a local server. I use no-ip.com to route DNS to that server through my cable modem. While disconnected from the web and working on localhost my web pages don't render the CSS since WordPress is linking to the absolute domain URL. In my /etc/apache2/sites-available/default file for this host i have `ServerName www.example.com` and `ServerAlias localhost` which isn't working to let me view my site offline What can I add to my virtual hosts file to render the CSS? Or am I out of luck with WP and my zend application pointing to the domain which is unreachable while offline? Just a note only after I realized the file paths caused a problem while browsing localhost did I add the `ServerName` and `ServerAlias` to try and get it to work. Thanks


Should I work on CSS or apps first?

I am working on my own website for my business, and I need to contract out some assistance. For example, I have the site looking pretty good on Firefox, but it needs help on other browsers. I also need some help with adding some Django apps to the site and setting up a database. I plan to seek the help of two different individuals via elance or odesk. My question is which to do first - get the css and html right then do the apps, or get the apps done and then work on the css and html? Thanks in advance for any suggestions.


Why don't browsers respect cache headers for initial page request?

I'm scratching my head a bit on this. A Drupal site I run is setting appropriate cache headers that should indicate that the page can be cached for 15 minutes. However, every time I hit the page it always sends a GET request instead of loading the page from the cache. I'm not forcefully refreshing the page each time, which I assume would indicate to the browser I want to flush the caches. I don't have any developer mode cache busting enabled. Is this just the default behavior of browsers, or am I missing something obvious? Here's the request/response headers from hitting my homepage from FireFox dev tools: **NOTE/EDIT** : Some people have suggested this was related to the `Expires` header being in the past. However `Cache-Control` overrides anything in `Expires`, as described in RFC 2616, Sec 14.9.3. Drupal includes this to disable caching on older HTTP 1.0 clients, which don't support the more advanced `Vary` header that Drupal needs for proper caching. ![enter image description here](http://i.stack.imgur.com/gCJYy.png)


Regex isn't honored in mod_security2

SecRule REQUEST_URI "^/(|(.*)/)(lpt1|lpt2|lpt3|lpt4)(/|\.|\?|$)" "t:none,t:htmlEntityDecode,t:lowercase,t:removeWhitespace,block,msg:'X',id:'1000'"          SecRule REQUEST_URI "^(.*)//(.*)$" "t:none,t:removeWhitespace,block,msg:'X',id:'1001'"      These 2 things won't work as expected. Other rules are working fine. I want to block something like: `hxxp:||my.domain.com`               // (too many slash, NOT blocked)     /////////// (too many slash, NOT blocked)     /lpt1 (Apache returns 403, NOT from modsec. Error log: "Forbidden: (web-dir)/lpt1 doesn't point to a file or directory")     /lpt1/blah (Apache returns 403, NOT from modsec. "doesn't point to a file or directory")     /somedir/lpt4.txt (Same as above)     /somedir/lpt4 (Same as above)     /somedir/////// (* SUCCESSFULLY blocked)      I believe these regular expressions are OK, so I really want to know why mod_security2 won't block these requests. I want to block using mod_sec2, not Apache.               Windows Test Web server | mod_sec2 | Apache 2.4


Google sometimes (erratically) shows my blog instead of my website in its results

When I go to Google and search on my domain, most of the time I see my website (i.e., `mydomain.com`) in the first page. But sometimes, **instead** of displaying a link to my website, Google shows a link to my blog (i.e., `mydomain.com/blog/`)! As far as I know, this has only happened with my own computer (not with anyone else's or with any other device), but with several browsers (Firefox and Safari). Does anyone have an idea about the reason for this weird recurrent change? In case it helps, my website is running on Magento and my blog is running on WordPress.


Ensure that previously "Google penalized" domain is okay to use

**Background**   My client's previous SEO team used link farming to increase the rank of the old domain. Due to this, the site was penalized by Google. When we took over, the old domain seemed completely un-indexed; the site wasn't returned in any searches whatsoever. In response, we created a site at a new domain; this new site is indexed and searchable, but still has years of previous SEO to make up. Recently, however, the old domain became searchable again somehow. * * * **Questions**     * Is it safe to upload the new site at the old domain?   * How can I ensure that the link farm links don't point to the old domain anymore?   * How can I ensure that the old site's penalty won't affect the site in the future?


How can I setup a redirect using an .htaccess that would keep part of the URL path?

I would like to setup a redirect using an _.htaccess_ file which keeps part of the URL's path in the target URL. For example: I have the domain `example.com`. I want `example.com/social` to redirect to `twitter.com`. BUT if someone types in `example.com/social/Bob` I want it to redirect to `twitter.com/Bob`, and would like it to work the same way for any value entered after the `/social/` directory. What might I add to an .htaccess file in order to do this?


rel=author, rel=me and Google Profile

Based on the post as Google Webmasters, a google profile seems to be needed for `rel=author` to work But this post on our forum does not indicate that. How do I implement `authorship and rel=me` without any google profile?


What is currently the most stable version of Magento?

I currently run an ecommerce store using Magento CE version 1.3.2.4. There have been many releases that each have had a number of fixes and new issues since then. I'm in the process of planning an upgrade and will be rolling out 5-6 new sites that will each be running on their own domain names, but will be using the same codebase and back-end as my main site. I'd like to know what version the community recommends upgrading my main site to prior to this roll- out? Should I go all the way to 1.6.2.0 or should I stop somewhere before that?


"Pending" status for orders paid via Auth.Net

In my Magento store, I have the following payment methods enabled with these order statuses:   * Zero Subtotal Checkout - Pending   * Check / Money Order - Pending   * Authorize.net (Auth only) - Processing The problem is that it makes it difficult for the admin to determine which orders have been invoiced/paid and which have been shipped. Ideally I would like new orders to always have a "Pending" status. When the invoice is created (which will trigger the Capture for Auth.net orders), it should go to "Processing". **It appears that I cannot set the "New Order Status" for Auth.Net to "Pending" - any idea why this is, and/or a workaround/solution for it?** I suppose a possible solution could be adding new columns to the order table such as "Invoiced" and "Shipped" so that the admins can easily see/filter by those statuses.

Google organic visits totals differences

I have a site that's giving different totals for organic visits from different parts of the Google Analytics tool. I've used a single day as a date range back in January 2013 to compare and filtered visits data by medium = organic. I get a different total to when I break the visits down by keyword. Even when I look at Traffic Sources > Sources > Search > Overview and compare to Traffic Sources > Sources > Search > Organic I get different totals. Has somebody experienced this before and if so any insight as to why this might be? If not, any suggestions? Sorry for the delay I've attached some screenshots as suggested: ![Organic Visits Overview](http://i.stack.imgur.com/MuT7f.png) ![Organic Visits Broken down by Keyword](http://i.stack.imgur.com/S5BLj.png) I've recently found another site that this happens to with more monthly organic visits.


HTTP over HTTPS speed

I did some ~~a lot of~~ reading around HTTP and HTTPS and suggested that my client implement HTTPS only. Site is on Alpha testing and URL is IP restricted, but on load testing we see that HTTPS takes longer to render. What are the things we can do to make litespeed work faster for delivering HTTPS? Already done:   * images are cached   * app is caching a lot of data   * when we switch to HTTP from HTTPS - and no other change - load test is faster.


What steps should be taken to safeguard user-entered content on a CMS?

Assume you're building a bulletproof CMS for your company. Cost, time, and technology are no issue. You've got developers ready to go with the knowledge and experience to crank out outstanding code. Now, you have to answer the age old CMS question: what steps do you take to ensure that the code entered into the CMS by the user is acceptable for your site? I'm thinking beyond just technically escaping a string to make it able to go into a database--there are considerations for w3 standards, filtering for inappropriate content, spelling, and such conundrums as Microsoft Word code scrubbing. Certainly, there are concerns that I've missed...


web designer question

I'm a web developer for a year and a half now. I work particularly on client- side. I'm good at (x)HTML/CSS/Javascript/jQuery. My work goes in converting PSD files to (x)HTML. (PSD files came from clients) Now I'm planning to go on designing too. My knowledge of photoshop is just the basic, I guess - Just the things I need to effectively convert PSD files to a web page. I'm really eager to learn. My questions:   * How can I learn this with just the internet and me?   * Are there steps or guides you know that could help me as a newbie?   * What are the challenges I may face and what can you suggest?   * What tool(s) would you suggest? Thanks.


How to fix a site that Google tells you is infected

I work for a company that setup a website, this one thelinearshop.com **_(warning this site contains malware so don't go there if you are concerned)_** , before I started working for them. The site uses OSCommerce. It now looks like someone was able to infect it with a malware link and jumble the site itself and when I visit the site I get a warning page from Google with the choice to leave, go to http://safebrowsing.clients.google.com/safebrowsing/diagnostic?client=Firefox&hl=en- US&site=http://thelinearshop.com/ for info on why it is getting blocked, or to ignore the issue. I have looked at the site and someone definitely hacked it. I have never run into this before and I am not sure how to proceed in order to get this fixed. I know I need to get the virus out but I am also concerned that whoever set the site up used an older version of OSCommerce and that it must not be very secure. Is that the case?


How can I prevent a power user from calling my ajax functions?

I have a site that uses ajax calls to perform a number of functions. They have the webbrowser call back to a script - ajax.php. Though I use post data to transmit the data and limit the commands that the ajax script can call, there is really nothing preventing users from spoofing ajax calls to attempt to manipulate the site. Is there some blanket way to prevent users from spoofing the calls? Is there a way to ensure that an ajax call does in fact come from my website and not from some other script or site? Or do I simply have to check the boundary conditions in the php script and prevent the users from spoofing things they wouldn't be allowed to do, but allow them to spoof where they would be allowed.


Responsive design best practice: Duplicate html elements for media querying and SEO impact?

I have a page with, in order of html appearance, a figure tag, headgroup tag, and an article tag. In order to make a page's design responsive using media queries, I need a different order for elements, so the image appears after the title. The simplest solution I can think of is cloning the headgroup tag in the source code and place the copy before the figure tag, thus making it possible to show/hide the appropriate tag according to viewport size. But I have the feeling this is not ideal SEO-wise. My question is simple: Does this simple technique really have an impact on SEO? Is there an html attribute to declare duplicate elements in a page? Is there another recommended solution? Best practice? Thanks in advance for any advised input!

Design for paging panels

The typical design for a paging panels (of search engines and the like) looks like this:               Previous 11 12 [13] 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 Next      But if you read that you would expect (if not educated by search engines) that "Next" will lead to the successor of page "20" and not of "13". If we need "Previous" and "Next" at all, wouldn't it be better to place it, where their meaning is obvious?                11 12 Previous [13] Next 14 15 16 17 18 19 20       or maybe                11 12 < [13] > 14 15 16 17 18 19 20      The question is: is "Previous" and "Next" really useful and if so where to place it?


Credit card start and end date selection

I'm implementing part of a payment process for a website and am just putting together the enter card details screen (card number, card holder's name, card start/expiry dates etc.). I'm implementing the card start/expiry dates as month and year dropdowns but am not sure which years I should cover to ensure no one is unable to enter their details. Does anyone have any information as to how long cards are issued for so as to determine the earliest possible start year and latest possible end year? Also do I need to worry about any overlap of the current date. e.g. in December 2010 is it possible someone may have a valid card with a start date of January 2010?


XAMPP error "Apache shutdown unexpectedly."

Been having a problem with XAMPP lately. Whenever I try to start up Apache, it starts then stops and displays the following error message:               Error: Apache shutdown unexpectedly.     This may be due to a blocked port, missing dependencies,      improper privileges, a crash, or a shutdown by another method.     Check the "/xampp/apache/logs/error.log" file     and the Windows Event Viewer for more clues      When I check the error.log file, the log is mostly filled with the following errors:               [Sun Dec 02 23:32:10 2012] [error] [client 192.168.1.102] File does not exist: C:/xampp/htdocs/HNAP1     [Sun Dec 02 23:32:10 2012] [error] [client 192.168.1.102] no acceptable variant: C:/xampp/apache/error/HTTP_NOT_FOUND.html.var     [Sun Dec 02 23:32:13 2012] [error] [client 192.168.1.102] File does not exist: C:/xampp/htdocs/TEADevInfo     [Sun Dec 02 23:32:16 2012] [error] [client 192.168.1.102] client denied by server configuration: C:/xampp/htdocs/xampp/      (I'm using XAMPP 1.8.1, with control panel v3.1.0.3.1.0) This has really had me scratching my head for quite some time now. Any help would be appreciated!

PHP include drop down navigation

I have a php document and am using include to include my drop down navigation. The navigation is an external html with external js and css elements. Code is:               <div id="nagivation">         <?php include ("navigation.html");?>       </div>       <!--end #navigation!-->      Unfortunately my drop down works great in it's html page, but once brought into my main page, none of the hovers work. In my navigation.html, I have included:               <script type="text/javascript" src="js/ecmNavigation.js"></script>          <link href="css/ecmNavigation.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />     <link href="css/ECM_HelpFile.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />      in my template.php, I have included:               <link href="css/ECM_HelpFile.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />     <link href="css/ecmNavigation.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />      Any suggestions? I need to keep the navigation in a global document, but have not been able to use iframe or obkect in order to embed as the whole menu will not display as it is confined to the size of iframe and object. (the menu is huge)
