How to find out what is causing "Entry Process" limit?

We're using an OpenCart 1.5.5.1 custom theme for our site. Well it hasn't been smooth sailing for us and we are facing problem after problem. So far the gist of it is we're currently on a business SSD host (still shared I believe) to test the performance of the site (uniqpcs.co.uk), it is on a trial period so that we can load test the site (using load impact). Every single instance, when running the test it seems that the entry process limit is reached, causing the site to become unresponsive and eventually crashing (the entry process limit is set to 20 on our cPanel - even tried 40 but still same issue). Been in contact with host provider (NameCheap) back and forth through email and live chat without any real help unfortunately but they mentioned a few things to me that I hope you can help clarify: From what I understand the _Entry Process_ limit is reached when a process (most likely PHP scripts) hangs much longer than expected and the delay causes more and more process to pile up hence the site becoming unresponsive and eventually reaching its limit. From their MySQL error log they determined that the database is 'apparently' not optimized very well with 126 tables and a total of 26791 rows and said there is a SELECT query in MySQL which processes too long because of a large amount of rows: Please find MySQL server logs below:               # Time: 140501  8:37:23     # User@Host: auniqpcs_uniqpc[auniqpcs_uniqpc] @ localhost []     # Query_time: 12.059221  Lock_time: 0.004748 Rows_sent: 1 Rows_examined: 26731     SET timestamp=1398947843;     SELECT COUNT(DISTINCT p.product_id) AS total FROM category_path cp LEFT JOIN product_to_category p2c ON (cp.category_id = p2c.category_id) LEFT JOIN product p ON (p2c.product_id = p.product_id) LEFT JOIN product_description pd ON (p.product_id = pd.product_id) LEFT JOIN product_to_store p2s ON (p.product_id = p2s.product_id) WHERE pd.language_id = '1' AND p.status = '1' AND p.date_available <= NOW() AND p2s.store_id = '0' AND cp.path_id = '211';          # User@Host: auniqpcs_uniqpc[auniqpcs_uniqpc] @ localhost []     # Query_time: 12.081561  Lock_time: 0.004338 Rows_sent: 1 Rows_examined: 26746     SET timestamp=1398947843;     SELECT COUNT(DISTINCT p.product_id) AS total FROM category_path cp LEFT JOIN product_to_category p2c ON (cp.category_id = p2c.category_id) LEFT JOIN product p ON (p2c.product_id = p.product_id) LEFT JOIN product_description pd ON (p.product_id = pd.product_id) LEFT JOIN product_to_store p2s ON (p.product_id = p2s.product_id) WHERE pd.language_id = '1' AND p.status = '1' AND p.date_available <= NOW() AND p2s.store_id = '0' AND cp.path_id = '258';     # Time: 140501  8:37:26          # User@Host: auniqpcs_uniqpc[auniqpcs_uniqpc] @ localhost []     # Query_time: 13.821338  Lock_time: 0.005288 Rows_sent: 1 Rows_examined: 26746     SET timestamp=1398947846;     SELECT COUNT(DISTINCT p.product_id) AS total FROM category_path cp LEFT JOIN product_to_category p2c ON (cp.category_id = p2c.category_id) LEFT JOIN product p ON (p2c.product_id = p.product_id) LEFT JOIN product_description pd ON (p.product_id = pd.product_id) LEFT JOIN product_to_store p2s ON (p.product_id = p2s.product_id) WHERE pd.language_id = '1' AND p.status = '1' AND p.date_available <= NOW() AND p2s.store_id = '0' AND cp.path_id = '245';     # Time: 140501  8:37:32          # User@Host: auniqpcs_uniqpc[auniqpcs_uniqpc] @ localhost []     # Query_time: 16.426658  Lock_time: 0.010242 Rows_sent: 1 Rows_examined: 26746     SET timestamp=1398947852;     SELECT COUNT(DISTINCT p.product_id) AS total FROM category_path cp LEFT JOIN product_to_category p2c ON (cp.category_id = p2c.category_id) LEFT JOIN product p ON (p2c.product_id = p.product_id) LEFT JOIN product_description pd ON (p.product_id = pd.product_id) LEFT JOIN product_to_store p2s ON (p.product_id = p2s.product_id) WHERE pd.language_id = '1' AND p.status = '1' AND p.date_available <= NOW() AND p2s.store_id = '0' AND cp.path_id = '245';       While processing, load tool sends another PHP request which "passes" the request to MySQL (while the 1st SQL query is still being processed). It is also possible that PHP requests that are referred to MySQL are badly coded. pingdom: http://tools.pingdom.com/fpt/#!/bzzDid/uniqpcs.co.uk I would really like to know what is the exact cause of this problem, is it badly coded PHP script, is it the MySQL database queries, or is it the host? Now I'm not too sure what to do.... any advice is appreciated.


In Google Analytics's social reports, how can I look at the opt_target parameter used by _trackSocial?

After implementing social interactions tracking using `_trackSocial`, how do I look at the `opt_target` parameter in my reports? I can only seem to drill down to social source and action. For example, I'm using...               _gaq.push(['_trackSocial', 'Twitter', 'Follow', event.data.screen_name]);      ...bound to Twitter's follow event to track when the follow buttons on my site are pressed, using the opt_target parameter (as per the social interactions documentation) to track the username of the Twitter account being followed. However, I don't know where to find that data in my reports, e.g. if I want to see what the most followed account is. If I go to Traffic Sources > Social > Plugins, I can see Twitter, and I can see the Follow events, but I can't drill down any further to see which accounts are followed: ![Twitter follow stats](http://i.stack.imgur.com/6BbsU.png) I'm pretty sure I've seen this in a previous version of Google Analytics. Was it removed? How can I access this data?


SEO on site temporarily redirected, then re-enabled

I have a site which was performing well in the search engines - I wanted to redevelop the site, so in the interim period I set up a redirect from my site to my parent company's site (which has a small section relating to my services). Fairly quickly, this section of the parent site inherited my seo ranking, backlinks etc, which is fine and is what I expected. However, I now have a new site ready and plan to remove the redirect - do you know how this is likely to affect my site? Many thanks


Redirect www to non-www only for https://

I can't seem to find a nice way to redirect `https://www.x.co.uk` to `https://x.co.uk` whilst letting `http://x.co.uk` and `http://www.x.co.uk` keep whatever they want. Could anyone lend a hand? I have tried various things, the closest I think I have got is a straight up check like this;                   RewriteCond ^https://www\.x\.co\.uk/$ [NC]         RewriteRule https://x.co.uk/$1 [R=301,L]      But it doesn't seem to match (or if it is it is ignoring the rewrite rule.


Which HTML+Javascript source editors support continuous validation and preview?

For programmers, Eclipse continuously compiles source code and highlights errors as you type. This greatly accelerates edit-test iteration cycles. I'm looking for a similar sourcecode editor for HTML and embedded Javascript that:   * highlights document errors in the HTML or Javascript source as I type   * has a second view that continuously renders the page as I type Which tools support these features? I'm principally interested in speeding up edit-test cycles for Javascript (so I need a source editor, not a WYSIWYG editor). --- Added: Even if continuous preview is not supported, are there any source editors available that highlight Javascript errors directly in the source (and let you edit the source)? This would be very useful.


htaccess and 301 redirects - multiple domains

I have the following which redirects `mydomain1.co.uk` and `mydomain1.com` to `www.mydomain1.com` perfectly.               RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^(.*)\.mydomain1\.com$ [NC]     RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.mydomain1.com/$1 [R=301,L]      I am trying to add an additional rule for a second domain, that will redirect all non www traffic for `mydomain2.com` to `www.mydomain2.com`. Thanks!


How to get the number of website or web pages competing for a specific keyword phrase?

What package(s) do i need for selling and tickets?

I don't like the idea of having a large system. I like components I can swap in and out so if I am lacking a feature, I can use something else rather then live with it or start cover with a different system. It looks like there are systems that do it all. I need something to allow customers to buy something. Kickstart a script I have. Register the user in a ticketing system for customer support. Notify me when their support has expired (also tickets should only be available to customers). A bonus would be if I can have forum software and a mailing list. Is there a good combination of software that I can use?


Duplicate / Similar content across many articles

So i am building my website up, so far so good, only 2 categories and about 40 articles. Each category is different and several of the articles in each category are reviews. my question is this... I have 500 words of unique content on each review, and then i have around 300+ words of the exact same content across each review (different category different similar content) The 300 words of similar content is things like..               Product contains eggs.     product contains milk     product doesn't have support     product company isn't active on social media.     product doesn't have email support.      Things like this, depending on the product and depending on how deep i dive into the reviews they range from 300+ words. Is it okay to have these reviews with this point back to my category landing page? I mean they're ranking for separate products not the main keyword as my category landing page. should i rework my strategy and just take out that similar content?


How do form submissions affect PageRank?

I notice that large sites like Facebook and Twitter redirect users to alternative login pages if they do not enter their login credentials properly. I'm still fairly new to SEO, but my UX knee-jerk reaction is that this is probably done for a reason, since the better experience clearly would be to keep the user on the first page they were on and append them with a "bad username"/"bad password" message (like what stackexchange does). My reasoning is; since logins are a form, pushing to a new page after any submit — proper login or not — might be an easy way to squeeze more hits out of a site. I'm wondering if I'm correct about this, as there are likely many other reasons for redirecting on a bad username and password.


Web hosting country effect site SEO?

Currently I use USA based VPS. According to Google analytics USA, India, Malaysia, UK are respectively generated majority of my blog traffic. I found a same specification, but low cost VPS provider in Nederland (server also located in NL). I'm interesting to use new provider. Are there any relationship with hosting country and site SEO? Update! What if I use cloudflare, then no one can identify the site origin? Am I correct?


What is a good robots.txt for WP?

What is the "best" setup for robots.txt?   I'm using the following permalink structure in Wordpress: `/%category%/%postname%/`. My robots.txt currently looks like this (copied from somewhere a long time ago):               User-agent: *     Disallow: /cgi-bin     Disallow: /wp-admin     Disallow: /wp-includes     Disallow: /wp-content/plugins     Disallow: /wp-content/cache     Disallow: /wp-content/themes     Disallow: /trackback     Disallow: /comments     Disallow: /category/*/*     Disallow: */trackback     Disallow: */comments        1. I want my comments to be indext. So I can remove this, right?   2. Do I want to disallow indexing categories because of my permalinkstructure?   3. An article can have several tags and be in multiple categories. This may cause duplicates in google. How should I work around this? Would you change anything else here?


facebook share and opengraph

I'm managing a video blog. The blog contains a main youtube video on the homepage and several thumbnail images of other videos elsewhere. I have a share button for the main page and the single posts pages and have added opengraph to specify the used image. For some reason facebook ignores my opengraph image and uses othe images it finds in the page... the header looks like this: (for the homepage)                   <!-- Facebook Opengraph -->         <meta property="fb:app_id" content="155967927783206" />         <meta property="og:url" content="http://mttv.co.il/2010/12/%d7%9e%d7%a4%d7%92%d7%a9-%d7%a1%d7%99%d7%99%d7%a2%d7%95%d7%aa-%d7%92%d7%a0%d7%a0%d7%95%d7%aa-%d7%9c%d7%93%d7%95%d7%a8%d7%aa%d7%99%d7%94%d7%9d-1959-2010-%d7%91%d7%9e%d7%a2%d7%9c%d7%95%d7%aa/"/>         <meta property="og:title" content="מפגש סייעות גננות לדורתיהם 1959-2010 במעלות" />              <meta property="og:description" content="מפגש מיוחד של סייעות גננות במעלות לדורותיהם   משנת פעילות 1959 ועד 2010     אירגון  המפגש באחריות הגב' שוש דהן ונערך בחצר מוזיאון המייסדים  במעלות ע"ש יעקב חזן ז"ל     עריכה וצילום     שרביט שלמה     08.12.10      " />         <meta property="og:type" content="article" />         <meta property="og:image" content="http://www.mttv.co.il/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/Gvi91UEjCAw_mid-135x77.jpg" />      The website address is: http://mttv.co.il Any help will be appreciated


Converting Free / Paid Fonts via fontsquirrel for Web Use

I was trying to upload a **GillSansMTPro-Book** font to fontsquirrel.com/fontface/generator      But I got this message > Monotype has requested that their font Gill Sans MT Pro Book be blacklisted > by the Generator. You will not be able to convert this font. But if you google "GillSansMTPro-Book" the first link you get is this which allows you to download the font for free.        1. Why does Monotype disallow the conversion of a free font ?     2. What if I buy a paid font - how will fontsquirrel 'know' that its a licensed one ? How can I convert that for web use ?


Tables: How to achieve "normal" td widths, but 100% table width?

On our site we have tables containing data. We like the column widths we get with a normal `table`, but we like the border-bottom of `td`s to stretch the entire width of the page like we get with CSS: `table { width:100% }`, as can be seen on a demo table widths page. Is it possible to achieve the same column widths as with a normal (non- width-100%) table in a table where the border-bottom stretches the entire width? Btw, is there _a better way_ (tm) of showing HTML snippets than linking to an external page? I can show just source, but having HTML rendered too is _so_ illustrative. We need a solution that works in at least IE6-8 + FF.


how do I programmatically upload pictures to facebook?

Ok, so here was my first question:   How do I allow visitors on my site to share my photos on their facebook news feed? After implementing it I realized what I really want is a link that uploads the image as a photo to their photo album. How would I got about getting an image on my site to upload to their photo album when they click on a facebook icon next to the image? Any thoughts at all are appreciated. Thank You.

Cookie being assigned on website

I am updating our privacy policy and was checking what cookies were being assigned to visitors from our website. I found one that I am unaware of. It is a Drupal 6 site and there is no module being used for cookies.

Impact of migrating whole site from HTTP to HTTPS

We migrated our website to HTTPS everywhere and we have setup a 301 redirect on all the pages when the protocol is HTTP. However, one of the SEO experts who is helping us with all things SEO sent us the following email: > Currently I have found a workaround where I'm using https as the base URL as > **301 redirect to https has removed all http pages from Google index** which > means I'm starting from scratch as far as indexing is concerned, because of > this redirection and removal of all http pages from Google index, traffic > numbers are affected and I'm working hard to restore them. Is this true? Does Google lose all the indexed pages from HTTP when HTTP is migrated to HTTPS using a 301 redirect?


Should I specify both <a rel="alternate"> and <link rel="alternate"> for multilingual websites?

I have read Google's recommendations regarding `<link rel="alternate">` in the `<head>` for multilingual websites. As far as I know, we can also use `rel="alternate"` on `<a>` tags, and so far I've been using this technique on visible links to switch between different languages of my website like this:

             English

             Français

      The Google Webmaster Tools answer doesn't mention this technique in regards to `<a>` tags though, so should I use `<link>` tags in the header in addition to `<a>` tags in the body, even though they are redundant?


Tool for RSS "Archive" in XML

Does anyone know of a web app or some such tool that simply checks an RSS feed and archives each news item and has the ability to export rss or generic xml (or even better, automatically saves it). I'm having a surprisingly hard time finding anything like this. A programmatic solution should not be difficult, but I'd like to identify a user-friendly tool for a client.


Why would someone log everything you do on their website?

I was searching on Google and I clicked on 1 of the ads related to my search, I noticed on that website that every time I do something like scrolling or selecting text there is a request sent to a file called `log.php` and the request submits the timestamp, the event type `dom.stream`, the page url, and some events like the following:               [{"timestamp":1378835757,"event_type":"dom.scroll","x":0,"y":559},     {"timestamp":1378835757,"event_type":"dom.scroll","x":0,"y":570},     {"timestamp":1378835758,"event_type":"dom.scroll","x":0,"y":629},     {"timestamp":1378835758,"event_type":"dom.scroll","x":0,"y":747},     {"timestamp":1378835763,"event_type":"dom.movement","cursor_x":"1239","cursor_y":"1018"},     {"timestamp":1378835763,"event_type":"dom.movement","cursor_x":"842","cursor_y":"985"},     {"timestamp":1378835763,"event_type":"dom.movement","cursor_x":"841","cursor_y":"985"},     {"timestamp":1378835763,"event_type":"dom.movement","cursor_x":"663","cursor_y":"1054"},     {"timestamp":1378835764,"event_type":"dom.movement","cursor_x":"661","cursor_y":"1054"},     {"timestamp":1378835764,"event_type":"dom.movement","cursor_x":"459","cursor_y":"1125"},     {"timestamp":1378835764,"event_type":"dom.movement","cursor_x":"414","cursor_y":"1143"},     {"timestamp":1378835764,"event_type":"dom.movement","cursor_x":"261","cursor_y":"1174"},     {"timestamp":1378835766,"event_type":"dom.movement","cursor_x":"263","cursor_y":"1177"},     {"timestamp":1378835766,"event_type":"dom.movement","cursor_x":"596","cursor_y":"1116"},     {"timestamp":1378835766,"event_type":"dom.movement","cursor_x":"596","cursor_y":"1115"},     {"timestamp":1378835766,"event_type":"dom.movement","cursor_x":"1074","cursor_y":"967"},     {"timestamp":1378835766,"event_type":"dom.movement","cursor_x":"1189","cursor_y":"947"}]      also the request sends the visitor id and the referrer, all of these are sent with everything I do on the website. This is the first time I see something like this, and I'm wondering if it's for legit purposes or not ? and how does it help the site webmaster ?


Can I remove visible referer from link?

I use referer info to track which of my campaigns works the best.

Is this possible to mask/hide somehow? Maybe via .htaccss? Thanks in advance


Allow access to WordPress site only by links in email newsletters

I send out a personal email newsletter, and have been looking into sending it via some service like MailChimp, or sendy.co. Many of these email services suggest, or require, the email newsletter content to be available online, in case the recipient's email app doesn't render it properly, or at all. The thing is I don't want my newsletter contents visible to the whole world. Nor do I want to require existing recipients to make accounts/be assigned accounts, with passwords. So, the question is: **How can my WordPress site content be viewable _only_ by clicking on the link to it in the email newsletter.** It can't be found in a Google search; but once at the site the visitor can view previous newsletter contents. It seems an .htaccess file would do the trick, but I have been unable to figure out the syntax for this. Thanks for your help. I have copied below two other questions, and answers, which have helped me word my question clearly. Similar to this request about allowing access to a certain group while still restricting access to the world: Is there a way to password protect directory only in cpanel. But the user should not be prompted the password, when they try to access it via web? This persons question is the closest I could find to my situation: Restrict direct folder access via .htaccess except via specific links


Keep current .htaccess file but add subdomain handler

Below is my current .htaccess file. I want to add a method by which I can conduct a simple pass-through if someone hits my subdomain. My current .htaccess is designed to grab any one who comes to my site and force them to the SSL version. I now need to allow someone to come to my site and hit a subdomain `mysite2.mysupercoolserverhere.com` without being passed to SSL or generally bothered by any of my WordPress-centric .htaccess stuff.               RewriteEngine On     RewriteCond %{SERVER_PORT} 80      RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://mysupercoolserverhere.com/$1 [R,L]          RewriteBase /     RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]          # add a trailing slash to /wp-admin     RewriteRule ^([_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/)?wp-admin$ $1wp-admin/ [R=301,L]          RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -f [OR]     RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d     RewriteRule ^ - [L]     RewriteRule ^([_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/)?(wp-(content|admin|includes).*) $2 [L]     RewriteRule ^([_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/)?(.*\.php)$ $2 [L]     RewriteRule . index.php [L]               # BEGIN WordPress     <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>     RewriteEngine On     RewriteBase /     RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]     RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f     RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d     RewriteRule . /index.php [L]     </IfModule>          # END WordPress      I attempted to add:               RewriteRule ^(mysite2.*/)$ - [PT]      But this did not work. Can someone please tell me how to fix/add my `Rewrite Rule` so that I can let users hit my subdomain without being forced to my TLD? I need to fix my .htaccess file so my WordPress site continues to work as intended but allow users to surf over to my subdomain without being affected by my current .htaccess file.


3 Scenarios for most relevant keywords in website. Which one is best?

A webpage about **Tomato Soup** has either of three following filenames: > _**Scenario 1_**   >  website.org/en/tomato-soup or > _**Scenario 2_**   >  website.org/en/tomato-soup-healthy-soups-recipes or > _**Scenario 3_**   >  website.org/en/tomato-why-sandra-is-so-wild-about-her-healthy-tomato-soup- > recipes Q1. Which one of the abobe would You go for?   Q2. Which one of these would be ranked as most relevant by google?   Q3. Would either of these be penalized for keyword stuffing?


Should each heading tag include text related to the page title for dynamic content?

New pages are created within my website by users who add new content. Currently the heading tags are the same for each new page. For SEO purposes, would it be better to relate the heading tags to the page title or keep them the same static throughout the website? I have done some research and it seems that heading tags that related to a specific page's content (and not the overall website niche) seem to perform better, or is this just coincidence?


canonical link to the home page

A friend and I are debating the use of the canonical tag. I say if I'm on               http://www.example.com/page.html      but my site has moved to               http://www.BetterExample.com      my canonical tag needs to be               <link rel="canonical" href="http://www.BetterExample.com/page.html" />      while my friend says it's OK if it's               <link rel="canonical" href="http://www.BetterExample.com/" />      I'd like not only a "who's right" but ideally a link to an article that discusses my friend's example.


Controlling robot crawling concurrency using robots.txt and the undocumented setting "host-load"

I'm not much of a network guy, and I am troubleshooting an issue where one of our sites intermittently becomes unresponsive to a reverse proxy: it simply starts turning down connections, and then after 30 minutes or so, everything is fine again. The server doesn't appear overloaded, responds just fine to loopback traffic, but is just apparently turning down connections from the proxy... This will likely be a multifaceted problem. Looking at the server as a whole, I noted we do get a lot of traffic from external web crawlers, and even more so from an internal Google Search Appliance (GSA). I wanted to explore whether the degree of parallelism in the crawling is the problem. I am aware of the crawl delay setting which would help reduce overall traffic, but would also affect the frequency of crawling and add delay to indexing. It doesn't seem like the most optimal way to control load from crawlers anyway. At any rate the frequency of requests should not be a problem... If Google wants to crawl constantly all day long every second, it's fine. As long as they don't hold too many connections open while this is done, it shouldn't really impact our ability to service other connections. It's hard to tell with `netstat` how many concurrent Googlebots are originating connections, as the only established connections I will see at a given time are the ones that take a little longer to finish. At any rate, I'm not seeing more than two active connections at a time, and many more `TIME_WAIT` connections (i.e., Googlebot finished, closed its connection, and we are waiting to close on our side for a few minutes...default TCP stuff). Then there's this: Robots.txt Q&A with Matt Cutts This page talks about an apparently undocumented (not a part of Robots Exclusion Protocol) setting called `host-load`. This setting should in theory allow me to specify how many Googlebots will connect concurrently, and it's perfect because I can use one thing to tell our GSA and any other Googlebot hosts looking at us the degree of parallelism we can handle... So that seems cool, however since no one but Matt Cutts (being a Google engineer heading up their webspam team) apparently has even mentioned this setting, I was curious if anyone else is using it? If I knew for instance that the default `host-load` for Googlebot is 2, I can completely rule out parallel web crawlers as part of the problem. So that's one question. The fact that he used 2 for example in the Q&A seems to imply that 2 is the default `host-load`, and it correlates with what I've seen from `netstat`. The bigger question is: Is anyone aware of a list or reference of extended _robots.txt_ properties that aren't formalized in the Robots Exclusion Protocol? I would assume with so many crawlers out there, there would be all kinds of proprietary settings.


Browser tool to save HTML branch?

I'm frequently finding myself wanting to pick an element in a webpage document inspector, and save it to file. For example, I'd like to save a form on a page. I can open up the document in say, Chrome's object inspector, identify the: ... content, but I have no way of saving this branch of the document. Is there a browser/browser-plugin that would like me do this?


Signing into Google account refreshes already open webpage

I have noticed that signing into my Gmail account, automatically causes some webpage to refresh. For example, signing into Gmail while keeping http://poetsandquants.com/2014/01/10/the-spaceship-enterprise-comes-to-yale/ open in another tab causes the page to refresh once signin/out is done.   * How is this done?    * I am guessing this is some sort of tracking mechanism. Is this a known "feature" and legal? How can I implement this for my own website?


OpenSSL error message: "The certificate is not valid for any server names"

I'm working on creating a self-signed OpenSSL certificate for testing HTTPS on my local development platform. When I browse with FireFox to a HTTPS test page I am seeing: `The certificate is not valid for any server names` as one of the two warning messages, the other one is related to the fact that the certificate is self-signed. ![enter image description here](http://i.stack.imgur.com/O6NgO.png) So how do I make the certificate valid for my server, which in my case is localhost?


New sitemap isn't being crawled, but the old sitemap is

I am helping on a website, it was redone a few months ago. We have 301 redirection links set, uploaded a new sitemap (with the updated links) and submitted it. But only one page is getting indexed (the homepage). When I check the Craw Errors page there are multiple (300+) 404 errors and a few server errors (error 500). I have clicked on those links and checked where they are being linked to from and I found that it is the old sitemap (the new sitemap was uploaded in the old ones place). So I deleted the sitemap (from the website and webmaster tools) and uploaded the sitemap under a different name and submitted it. It's been a few weeks now and there is still only 1 page indexed (the homepage). So how come the old sitemap is being indexed and crawled (even though it was overwritten and then deleted a few weeks ago) rather than the new one?

Will 404 errors affect search engine ranking?

I had installed joomla in my domain with the sample data. I now removed it and installed wordpress in my domain. There are a lot of 404 errors in my domain. Will they affect my search engine rankings. If so what should I do to avoid it?


403 Forbidden Error?

I recently ran Xenu link checker on my site. I link to several Wikipedia pages and ever wiki page generates a 403 code. Here is an example of the message:               http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alaska         error code: 403 (forbidden request), linked from page(s):     http://www.mysite.com/page.html      I know a 403 error code is:               A 403 Forbidden is an HTTP status code returned by a web server when a user      requests a web page or media that the server does not allow them to. In other      words, the server can be reached, but the server declined to allow access to      the page.       My question is why does it generate that error? I can click the page without issue. Does it have something to do with the checker running scans?


Just re-mapped my Squarespace site to my own domain, how about my tracking snippet?

I just re-routed mydomain.com and www.mydomain.com to redirect (sorry wrong word, the URLs are actually using mydomain.com) to mydomain.squarespace.com using the custom mapping for squarespace and godaddy DNS manager. My question is this, the proprietary, host analytics should still work. However, will Google Analytics still work right or do I need to tweak to get it to actually work right? I checked that Analytics is receiving data after the transition, however, I have a few questions:   1. will it still be referring to mydomain.squarespace.com, or mydomain.com?    2. is traffic between the two the same/equivalent?    3. do I need to update my tracking script somehow?

What's Required for the AudioObject in Schema.org

We're trying to paint our site with the correct Schema.org information, and we're getting the following error: http://www.google.com/webmasters/tools/richsnippets?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.hark.com%2Fclips%2Fskyqpngffn- you-see-what-happens-larry&view=cse                The following errors were found during preview generation:           Insufficient data to generate the preview.

Why Google says that "www.domain.com" is different from "domain.com"?

In Google webmasters tool, there is mentioned that **www.domain.com** is different from **domain.com** , and the webmaster is asked to get sure that the correct one is in action there to get the reports. Why these domains are different from Google's perspective? PS: I always register the domain without **www** part. Why I'm also able to get to my site, using **www.domain.com**?


Where do I find traffic sources for same-domain traffic?

I have two different Google Analytics accounts set up. One that is used everywhere on `example.com`, and another that is used only within the `example.com/blog` path. I'm trying to figure out where within my `example.com` GA account I can track users who are navigating from the `/blog` GA account. I tried looking under Traffic Sources > Referring Sites, then filtering by `example.com`. This does show as a source there, but when I clicked on it to view referral paths for that source, none of the referral paths were for `/blog`; instead, they were all just other pages within the same domain (and thus the same GA account). Where should I be looking?


Prevent duplicate content - spin it?

I am building some mini-blogs with related content. These are designed to build good links to my main page. I don't have the time or energy to write 10's of unique articles a week. I understand my suggestion might be against Google's policies, but I was wondering if the following would be possible: Take a article, randomize the paragraphs and sentences inside of the paragraphs, then replace some words with synonyms. Would this prevent the articles going into the duplicate content filter?

Where can a list of Desktop web browsers be found at?

I have another question posted in regards to the practicality of whitelisting. In this question I'm simply looking for an frequently updated list of top known used Desktop web browsers to use as part of my whitelist. I'm not trying to target any specific OS so please show one, show all. The list of browsers for desktops isn't exploding, but it does grow. I've only recently been made aware of other browsers that have multiple rendering engines. I'm not always on top of the text based browsers found out there either. I'm aware of the mobile browser platform and there is an active list used with regular expression for identification purposes that I will use as well as whatever I can find for the desktop platforms.


Order of content on a Page=all page

We have a holiday property rental site that has numerous pages, each showing 10 properties. We have a Page=all page that shows all the properties and that is a canonical link from each of the sub-pages. The properties are ordered the same on the canonical and sub-pages. To keep the property owners happy we change the order of the properties (randomised) on a daily basis. Currently we have a googlebot specific page that shows all properties in the same order all the time, but I am not happy that this is the best way of getting ranking. The question is: How will Google treat our ranking if we remove the (cheating) googlebot specific page, and change the display order of the properties on the canonical page on a daily basis? It's not new content, just the same content in a different order! Thanks

Google Analytics on Demo Site

Will adding the UA code of the live site to a revision site affect anything adversely? They are, technically, two different sites with different metrics.

What is using so much of my disk space?

I have a 768MB VPS, on which I host 1 website. That website has WordPress installed and a MyBB forum and it fills 22 GB in space. It shouldn't have more than 1 GB. And a few weeks ago it had 15 GB in space, so it's increasing even though I haven't added/uploaded anything. The email service is disabled and I've looked through the files on the website and didn't saw any file that could be responsible for so much space usage. Where else can I look?


Geolocalization of my website

I have a big problem with GeoIP. My website has the following structure   * www.domain.com   * it.domain.com   * de.domain.com I use the MaxMind GeoIP module in Apache to redirect users to the appropriate site base on their country. My problem is when a user from Italy visits it.domain.com: if ge wants to change language and try to open www.domain.com, he is redirected back to it.domain.com. How can I prevent redirection when a user selects a language.


How do I set up a goal for an event, and only show the number of events?

I'm completely new to GA, so this may seem like a silly question I have a page with a button, the button doesn't do a redirect, so I added an event for that button. The event tracking is working great. This week I've gotten 43 button clicks. So I setup a goal to analyze the events. But instead of showing the number of events trigger, it shows a conversion of over 500. How is that conversion calculated? In the goal, I just setup the category and the action for the goal.

"manage brand terms" option in GA

As of today I have a new setting in one of my Google Analytics Accounts in Admin->Channel Groupings which is called "Manage Brand Terms" (see screenshot). I have not found documentation for this feature. Obviously this has to do with search, but from the sparse info in the tooltips - " _We'll use this to classify your queries_ " - I do not quite understand what this does or how to use the setting. The settings don't seem to be reflected anywhere in the reports. If anybody knows what this is about and is willing to share I'd be grateful. ![enter image description here](http://i.stack.imgur.com/YkAaY.png)

Rich snippets for "hproduct" not being displayed in Google, and returning error

Some time ago I added rich snippets to product pages on an ecommerce website, but they have not shown in Google and the testing tool returns the following error: "Warning: In order to generate a preview with rich snippets, either price or review or availability needs to be present." I know rich snippets are not guaranteed to show in Google, but the warning in the tool makes me think I have a problem, since if I put some other sites into the tool, they don't show the warning.

How can I add 'sub1.sub2.domain.com' to my GoDaddy hosting account?

I'm using GoDaddy's Ultimate hosting plan, and I'd like to know how to add `sub.sub domain` to it. For example, I want to create a site as `es.n.domain.com`. However, GoDaddy tells me when I add the dot that it cannot be added because of forbidden characters, saying: `Your Subdomain name(s) can only contain letters, numbers, and dashes`. But I've already created it in the "DNS Zone Editor" and it successfully accepted it. As a test I forwarded that `sub1.sub2.domain.com` to my IP-address with a local web server I have installed in my computer and it ran just fine. I was able to access the domain `sub1.sub2` as a vhost on Apache. Is there a way to do this in my GoDaddy hosting account?

Can I bypass PayPal's button generator and submit item details to PayPal using my version of their form?

Getting started with a super simple PayPal shop on a flat HTML site. Seems to me there are two ways to go: **1. Use PayPal's button generator**   You follow their instructions and they'll generate a button for you. The button will have a 13 digit code which identifies your item's details. You paste that into your HTML. **2. Submit your own form to PayPal**   You copy the nuts and bolts of the PayPal form as above, but you haven't gone via their generator so there's no 13 digit code. You have to pass through the item details (in the form of `item_name`, `business` and `amount` fields). The `business` field is your email address in plain text. In both cases you're submitting to `https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr` Is that a fair summary? I can see that the advantages of **method 1** are:   1. Your business/email address doesn't have to be in plain view client side   2. User can't change the price/item details client side    3. PayPal is making some sensible default decisions about currency etc that you don't have to worry about. Also, w3d's comment in this answer is that using PayPal's button is "more secure". In what way it's "more secure" isn't specified. However the advantage of **method 2** is that you generate all your own HTML form code and if you've got dozens of products it's much easier and more flexible not to have to labour through PayPal's generator button by button (I know they let you create a new button from existing, but that's still slow). Basically you don't need to duplicate your inventory inside PayPal's site. Is there anything else fundamental that we're missing, because right now we're minded to go with method two for the sake of speed, flexibility and manageability.


Wordpress install directory, how to change it?

I have my wordpress installation on mywebsite.com/blog I now want to turn my entire mywebsite.com site into a CMS by use of the Wordpress CMS, whilst still maintaining /blog as the blog area. Rather than exporting my blog posts, then creating a new WP installation on the top-level directory mywebsite.com and then importing my blog posts.. is there an easier way to do this with use of the existing WP installation? If it's easier to transfer the files via FTP from /blog/ into the top-level and then adjust the wordpress URL settings that's be amazing! I just don't know how to go about the URL settings side of things.. Thanks!


Which Blackberry devices to buy for testing?

For pages with one painting and no text except the painting name, media used and size, what should the meta description language be written like?

This Web site has approximately 90 watercolor images, with each image/painting on its own page displaying a name, media type and size above it with no other language on the page. Although I have provided a meta description for the Home, Collection, Bio, Q&A and Contact pages located in the navigation menu, should I bother to write a description for each of the individual image pages? If so, how should that language be written: would I simply describe each of the paintings in terms of shape(s), color(s), etc.? I have done exactly that for the alt text fields for each painting. Should I just repeat that same language in the meta description field? Any light you can shed on this would be much appreciated.

Cpanel deleted subdomain now shows 500 error

I created a subdomain in cpanel and then decided that I actually didn't need it, so I deleted it using cpanel. Now when I navigate to that subdomain in my browser I get a 500 server error. If I try any other random subdomain, they redirect to the root. Does anyone have any idea how I can get rid of the 500 error?


Can I legally use a competitor's business name on my site to compare products?

Simply put, does a company have any grounds for legal recourse if their name is used on a competitor's website in the following manner? > **{Product Title and Description}** (Comparable to {Competitor's Name} > product). and in the "Glossary of Terms": > **{Competitor's Name}** : A company that {... about them blurb ...} Source: > http://www.competitor-website.com/about-us-page The reason for using the competitor's name in the first place is that their brand name is often confused with the actual name of the product being sold - similar to saying "Kleenex" when you really mean "tissues". The reason for this question is that a representative of the competitor contacted my client threatening legal action. Jurisdiction: USA. * * * _My client has since removed the references, this is more of a question of curiosity than a "what should I do now?!?" question._

The one whose e-mail you begin to dread. The one who ends up being described anonymously on Reddit in a fit of rage.


How do I edit/modify a file on a webserver using php file in the same location?

I have an XML file on my server. In the same directory I have a PHP file which modifies the content of the XML and saves it. In this, the save part doesn't work. In my knowledge the code is alright and the problem is with the file access persmissions. More details available here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3351652/how- to-save-an-xml-file-on-the-web-server-using-php ( There is nothing wrong with the code. I provided it to give more insights. The problem seems to be with the access permissions ) The permissions of the XML file is: rw-r--r-- (644) My question is, am I doing it right? How do I modify a file in the same directory?


Streaming videos using Wowza

I need to view the streaming videos in my website. For that I have searched and get the answer to use Wowza (just like FMS). I need to know how can I stream the videos using Wowza and how to store the video files in the server. Have to use any encoder for streaming the videos?


Does the average user care about the URL?

I was having discussion with a co-worker for a project regarding URLs. My question is does the average user care how the URLs are formatted? Whether it's descriptive or relevant to the content they are looking for. I do realize that a more descriptive URL is better for SEO but I'm wondering about an average user perspective.


Photo gallery for Blogspot blog

I don't think this is entirely possible, but here we go: I have a friend who has a **Blogspot** blog. He has posts with text, posts with videos and posts with **photos**... and he was wondering if there's any way to turn the posts which are just photos into a **thumbnail gallery** screen on his blog. So for example, let's say he has 20 photo posts on his blog with the label _Skiing Holiday 2009_ (horrible example, I know). Is there a way of having a post created for his blog that displays those photos as thumbnails, linking through to their full size versions? I just don't think it's possible, but I'm really hoping someone will be able to offer a solution (or even a place where I could find a solution). Thanks a lot.


How to convert Shockwave Flash 5 files to newer version

How would you go about upgrading old Shockwave Flash files to a newer version? In my case, I have files from Shockwave Flash 5 and see that Adobe is currently on version 12. I want to be sure to upgrade these, so that our users don't have compatibility problems viewing them on our site in the future (i.e. if Adobe stops supporting version 5).


Creating a "presentable"/filtered twitter profile widget

I would like to include a subset of tweets I make on my professional web development site. Now, twitter provides two applicable widgets: a profile widget and a search widget Unfortunately, the profile widget shows everything I tweet (including off- topic tweets that I don't want shown on my site). On the other hand, the search widget generally only shows tweets that I have made in the last 24 hours, and apparently doesn't search back very far. Here's an example of the search widget in action on my site: http://royronalds.com/log.html (showing only one match of what should be many, because that's the only recent match). And here are the widgets: http://twitter.com/widgets Is there any way to create a topic-filtered widget, to show only on-topic tweets?


If the impressions are very high and clicks are very low, should the keywords be changed?

I have worked very hard for my website. We update it every two days. The site's impressions are good but the click through rate is like 0. Its been 6 months but it has not performed well in searches. Can anyone advice what should be the strategy in such a condition? Should I consider changing the keywords I want to rank for? ![enter image description here](http://i.stack.imgur.com/cY8eG.png)


Form autocompletion not working

I created a HTML form with several input fields, nothing special. Using the most recent version of Google Chrome and Firefox autocompletion works for all form fields which means that whenever I want to refill the form the browsers suggest former input values for the fields. In IE8 it does not work at all. Other forms do work but on mine IE does not remember a single input value. The form is SSL encrypted but I don't think that's the reason because I tried other SSL forms which work. Any tipps? Thanks!

Is there a way to setup Clicktale tag in Google Tag Manager?

Since GTM doesn't support document.write() method the standard clicktale code doesn't work. Is there a workaround for this? ClickTale employee has sent me these instructions:               Replace the document.write JS line above with the following:      document.body.appendChild(externalScript);          Example:     <!-- ClickTale Bottom part -->      <script type='text/javascript'>      var externalScript = document.createElement('script');     var scrSrc = document.location.protocol=='https:'?     'https://clicktalecdn.sslcs.cdngc.net/':     'http://cdn.clicktale.net/';          scrSrc += 'www11/ptc/xxx-xxx-xxx-xxx.js';          externalScript.src = scrSrc;     externalScript.type = 'text/javascript';     document.body.appendChild(externalScript);     </script>      <!-- ClickTale end of Bottom part -->      I am not sure what to do with this. Has someone tried something like this?


No data in Google Webmaster Tools traffic, content keywords etc

My site has been live and added to Google Webmaster Tools for over a year now. It doesn't have a pile of incoming links, but there are a few I know of. The site receives an average of 200 visits/month, so not massive, but not nothing either. The site is in Webmaster Tools, has a sitemap (which is new, admittedly), but I can see nothing in any of the traffic views, nor in the internal links view. The only 'unusual' thing I can see about the site is that everything except the home page is served over HTTPS. Is this normal? I have a friend who runs a website with similar traffic volumes etc, and he can see data in all of these views just fine. Just as additional background:   * The domain has been verified with WMT.   * The site map has been submitted, and I can see google crawled it ok.   * The index stats show 11 pages indexed.   * I have an associated Analytics account.

How to tune up colors in web page

Could you advise me some techniques and tools that you use to tune up colors in a web site? The website has background and there are some images with logos. If I change the background I need to change other things too but it's difficult to change the image of logo (I'd like to change only some colors in logo, e.g. to change white color in that image to slightly yellow color etc.). Are there some tools for this problems? I can use Gimp on my Linux machine, if it's able to do this. Are there tools that help with colors that are suitable to live together for individual part of the web (header, background, footer, sidebars, color of links). The web should be cheery. I don't have experience with playing with colors for web design yet thank you for help


Easy way to determine if a client's web host supports/allows creating SQL databases?

This is a very particular question, but I'm working on establishing a criteria at my company for when we bring new web clients aboard. Our sales team is looking for an effective way to determine whether or not we can install certain software on a client's web server before we sell the client on that service. We help optimize a lot of our client's sites by installing blogs and CMSes to their existing site, but in order to install these blogs we need to be able to create MySQL databases through the client's hosting backend. Of course many big name hosts like GoDaddy and Dreamhost give the user complete access to tools like phpMyAdmin that allow me to create a Wordpress database, for example, so that I can get Wordpress working on their site. Many of our clients however are Ecommerce sites and get their hosting through more locked-down companies that don't offer the ability to utilize SQL databases or other features necessary to complete some of these tasks for clients. It's an odd question, but is there a simple way to determine if a certain web server or hosting company has the ability to use SQL databases with their customers? Finding out the name of the hosting company and then checking if the company offers SQL databases would be one way to do it, but I want to know if there is another solution or web tool or chart on the internet that could help us determine this information.


How many Google Analytics custom variables & advanced segments for each account, property & profile?

Appropriate robots meta for "printer friendly" pages

We have many printer-friendly pages that have a link that adds `?pf=1` to the URL. On the `?pf=1` page would it be better to have `noindex,nofollow` or `noindex,follow`. I think that it would be better to have `noindex,follow` as it allows for more links to corresponding pages if the `?pf=1` link happens to be found. However, my colleague suggests using `noindex,nofollow` because the non-`?pf=1` page already has the same links and this would lead to duplicate content. Should I be worried about a duplicate penalty or is it okay to expose the links on the `?pf=1` page for crawling?


How do I make a web site on my own PC, without DNS, available to others?

I thought if I removed the host name from the site's binding, like the Default Web Site, just my machine name in the URL would work, but I replaced the binding, and thought my machine name/IP address, plus the host name bound to the site, would work, but it doesn't. I would just like a colleague to have access for testing. I am running IIS 8 on Windows 8. I have a hosts file entry with the URL host name pointing to localhost, like I always do for web sites on remote servers.


Do search engines rank internal redirects negatively?

A client is in the late stages (code complete) of a website redesign and unfortunately hasn't implemented 301 redirects to point high traffic pages to the new URL's. As I understand it our only option at this point is to create redirects within the CMS. Our CMS allows us to do this:   1. www.mysite.com/category/current-page.html will redirect to www.mysite.com/new-category-name/new-page.html   2. The site now uses custom logic on our 404 page to check this list of redirects and if one exists forwards the user to the new-page.html I understand that using 301 redirects would be the correct way to maintain our page rank but I think that would require a code change which isn't possible. **Question** How will search engines respond to this? Will they wait until the redirect happens and allow us to keep our page rank (authority, trust, etc) or will they see the 404 page and down-rank us? Worst case...will they make our new- page.html start from a rank of "0"? Thanks for your help.

For Paypal website payments standard, Do I need to create add to cart buttons using my client's account?

I wish to use Paypal web site payments standard on one of my clients webpages. It's a simple static site, so I do not wish to use a e-commerce package. I'm creating test code using my own paypal account. But when it comes to creating the real buttons, will I need to login using my clients login details? I'm guessing that it would be easier to do this using website payments pro - as I could use the API and then towards the end of development switch it to the client's account / token (i'm not sure of the terminology, but understand the concept). In an ideal world, I'm hoping for something similar to Google adwords management accounts, where I can manage my clients' sub-accounts. I'd rather not have to login as my client and instead be able to the work from my own account. Is there a way of achieving this? Or a development workflow anyone reccomends? Feel free to talk geeky to me, I'm a developer - but just don't have much experiance with paypal. -thanks for the help

What is the typical example of old school website design?

I want to build a website for a retro thing that **was** popular in the mid 90s (beginning of the commercial internet). So I want use _old designs_ that was very popular at that time. The first thing that comes to my mind was those "`under construction`" animated gifs. People often put animated gifs everywhere. ![alt text](http://i.stack.imgur.com/tM18j.gif) But also those awful repeating backgrounds. So yes, I want my website to look exactly like in the mid nineties ;) (please suggest practical and usable features, I guess an Java Applet menu would not work today, or saying on the bottom that this website is optimized for Netscape 3) **EDIT** : for those that wants to see the result: Retrology

Subdomain accidentaly got indexed on Google

I have main domain `example.com` and subdomain called `static.example.com` that serves images and other static content. It's once hosted whole domain (`example.com`), but I moved main domain to other server but all files/scripts/software remained on `static.example.com`. Several days ago, I've noticed that Google indexed it and all of the content is the same as on original domain:               example.com/some-page.html     static.example.com/some-page.html      How can I remove `static.example.com` indexed pages only (leave images and other static content)? Will this be OK: 1) I've uploaded this _robots.txt_ :               User-agent: googlebot-image     Disallow:      User-agent: *     Disallow: /      2) Removed all software/scripts from the site so it's now showing 404. Will 301 redirect be more appropriate?


Multiple subsites each with their own subdomain vs one larger site with categories?

I'm starting a site that is similar to a wiki. The site will have many different unrelated categories, eg: sports, technology, Spanish, etc. Each category will have many different subcategories. What do you think is better for users:   1. Having one large site, www.example.com that has all of the content separated into categories, which would be further separated into subcategories.   **or**   2. Having subsites like sports.example.com and tech.example.com and each subsite is dedicated solely to that category. Each subsite would really be it's own site dedicated to the category, and pitch itself as a site where people can go to collaborate on articles about the specific category. I'm thinking option 2 has the benefit that users interested in a topic will feel like they have a site dedicated to their interest. What do you guys think is better?


Image rankings on Google Image Search (images hosted on external sites)

I saw that when I stopped uploading images to my own server my content on Google Images disappeared. I stopped uploading images to my server for two main reasons: traffic and storage space on the VPS. I've a big enough site I got +15k unique visitors per day and my site is mainly images based, there's at least 15 pictures per post, 3-4 posts per day every day. My VPS has a 200GB (can be expanded) HDD of space and 3TB traffic per month. Because of all these numbers I've started to upload the images to sites like imgur & Tumblr, mainly... but now all my stuff is gone from Google Images, there isn't a single image of my site when trying different queries associated with the posts, only exceptions are some old pictures that are hosted on my server. So it is obvious that Google doesn't like the fact that I upload the images to external sites, is there a way to tell Google to link those pictures to me in some way? What you think it is better if I start again to upload the images to my own server instead of Tumblr & imgur?!

Does anyone know of a way to perform bulk-lookups on domain names and their expiration dates or whois information? I'm thinking anywhere from 10 to 500 lookups at a time.


Changing main domain, redirect backlinks too?

I have a website and would like to rebrand. I have owned the new domain for about 2 years now and I do have about 40 inbound links from my clients that currently link to the old site. When going live with the new website I will of course 301 the old domain to new domain but (how) should I change those inbound links? My options are:   1. keep old links and text and let the 301 do the magic    2. change all the links on my clients pages (I do have access and am allowed to do so) to the new domain   3. change all the links and also set new texts What is the best option SEO wise? Is there a difference at all? When setting new texts should I vary or always use the same (I heard the first option is better?).


Google search results not based on website's content

A while ago I searched in the Google for a very specific phrase _Quazar of Sanxion_ and I got some strange results (showing the first three): ![Google search results](http://i.stack.imgur.com/Dv450.png) The strange thing is that if you open the second Wikipedia link, you'll notice that **any of the two keywords _Quazar_ or _Sanxion_ is included neither in the page nor in its source code.** But Google search is absolutely correct because _Quazar of Sanxion_ is actually an alias for the music producer _Axwell_. How can Google know that the website containing the phrase in its title, H1 tag, and URL should be placed beyond the site that has no evidence of the phrase at all?   What kind of magic is going on here??


Google Analytics: web profiles missing and data lost

Logged in a Google Analytics account that had been created/setup with a tracking code for two Websites several years ago. Have not logged in for a while (at least 6-8 months), but at that time, everything was working as expected. Logged in today and noticed that there were no Website profiles. Tried adding an "existing domain" profile for one of the missing sites and after an hour or so, the tracking was "successful" (green checkbox) but still no historic data. No changes to the account have been done as far as I know. Any idea what would have caused this to be lost and how the historical data be recovered?

Can Apache "Correct" URL Case?

Let's say I keep every word of file names capitalized. For example, `Home.php` or `MultipleWordTitle.html`. Is there any way for Apache to redirect requests for incorrectly-cased URLs to the capitalized pages, preferrably using `.htaccess`? Simply rewriting the URL to make the first letter capitalized won't work, since some files have multiple capital letters. Ideally, I'd like the change to be reflected on the user's side, so it would show up as `MultipleWordTitle.html` in his/her address bar. It's okay if that can't be done, though.

How to move a Tumblr blog without hurting PageRank?

I have a Tumblr blog which I want to move to somewhere else. I don't want my Google visibility resetted after moving. I am thinking to do it this way; 1) I believe Tumblr allows custom domain names. I will point it to my new domain, and wait for some time for Google to see the changes. 2) I will copy all my posts to new host, but they will use different URL pattern like `category-name/post-title` 3) In my new host, I will set 301 redirects for every page that existed on old blog to correct place for them on my new blog. For example, links like `post/61879534273/title-of-the-page` will be redirected to `category- name/title-of-the-page` on new host. 4) In my domain name settings, I will point my domain name to my new host. Would this setup work as I intended? If not, is there another way to do it?


Pixels - A cry for some insight

I'm pretty new to web developing and I'd love some clarification. Although reading more than one book on the topic, I cannot seem to wrap my head around the pixel concept. I encounter problems with this issue when trying to use CSS and pixel units for design that fits different screen sizes. To my understanding a pixel is the most basic unit used by a monitor in order to compose an image on the screen. So if me resolution is 800 by 600, everything on my screen is rendered using those 800*600 basic building blocks. If I were to enlarge my screen resolution, 3 things would accrue: A. The basic image building block(the pixel) would shrink in size B. The pixels would move close together C. Well, more pixels would now be available All these combined lead to a sharper(depending on the viewing distance) and more detail enabling image. Well so far so good. Here is were I start getting lost: To my knowledge a pixel is not a physical, real object. Monitors are not embedded with a few thousand pixels. I am drawn to this conclusion because anyone can change his screen's resolution, making a pixel on his screen bigger or smaller, and adding or subtracting the amount of total pixels on screen. Adding to that, I have herd that different monitors have different pixel densities. For example Apple's retina monitors. Taking all of the above as my knowledge base, These are my questions:   1. If a pixel has no real world constant size, what does comparing different pixel densities matter? Each screen company can define it's own pixel concept and declare the higher density.    2. What does a bigger pixel density mean? Say we take two screens with the same physical dimensions, but with a different pixel density, am I to assert that the main difference would be the larger density screen being able to display a higher max resolution? Or am I to assert that given the same resolution on both monitors, the higher density one would display a sharper, smaller image?    3. If a pixel is not a fixed size within one monitor, is it a fixed size between the same resolution on two different monitors? For example, would two different monitors, set to the same resolution, be comprised of same size, same quantity pixels?  I'd love some help (:

Image folder name for SEO

We develop and sell ActiveX and .NET controls through our website. After doing some redesign works, every product will have its own top-level folder on the webserver. For instance, the home page for our ActiveX grid control looks like our_domain.com/activex-grid/. We also need to provide our users with a lot of screenshots used in the product pages. Looking at all this, what is the best location and folder name for these images from SEO perspective (mainly Google Indexing and Image Search)? We have several possible solutions:   1. our_domain.com/activex-grid/images/   2. our_domain.com/activex-grid-images/   3. our_domain.com/activex-grid/screenshots/   4. our_domain.com/activex-grid-screenshots/   5. our_domain.com/activex-grid/ The last option means we will place images next to the HTML pages, but we would not want to use this mix of image files and pages as it is harder to organize/find our data in this case. However, I admit the last option can be the best for SEO as (1) we do not have extra unneeded keywords like 'images' or 'screenshots' in full image URLS and (2) we do not place our images in deep folders so the keywords used in URLs have less value.


My VPS cannot send email

**Webmaster Newbie Question** I have a low end vps (128MB RAM)running on Debian.I used a bash script by ilevkov to setup the site. After some trial and error, I managed to set up a WordPress on it. Just now I found out that my VPS can't send any email. I tested using the WordPress reset password email, and it shows > The e-mail could not be sent. Possible reason: your host may have disabled > the mail() function... After some Google session I noticed that I can send email from ssh. So I tried               mail myemail@gmail.com     Subject: Halo dion     some message     .      and the result said               EOT     /usr/lib/sendmail: No such file or directory     "/root/dead.letter" 9/243     . . . message not sent.      **The question** How can I fix my VPS mail setting?

How to give credit about an image I display in my website?

I looked for an image for decorating the main page of my website. I found a great image in Wikipedia. The license allows me to use the image, but, I must give credit to the creators (which includes their name and a link to their Flickr page). My question is: what is the best way to give credit about the image, such that the page design will not be harmed? In case it matters: my page is very simple - it contains only the image (floated right), a heading, a small amount of text, and some links. But, my question is more general and probably applies to many different websites.

Google Analytics API: return data on HTTP status codes?

I'd like to get information out of the Google Analytics API about the HTTP status codes returned by my application. For example:   * For a given date range, I'd like to know how many 404 responses were returned.    * I'd like to filter only pages that were returned with a 200 code - excluding error pages.  Is this possible with v3 of the Analytics API? I've been reading through the reference manual but I can't find a full list of all the dimensions and metrics that are supported.


The number of soft 404 errors is increasing because of redirects to the home page

I have an increase in soft 404 errors.

how do i tell google that my landing page is a blog?

I have written my own very simple CMS and everything i publish on my page will go on the landing page (http://xyious.com). so every time i write a new page, regardless of where it ends up on the navigation, it will also go on the homepage, very much like a blog. Now i have already submitted a sitemap that tells google that the landing page changes very frequently (daily), although it doesn't change that often. Is there any way to tell google that the landing page is essentially a blog ? Is there a way to tell google that there is duplicate content because obviously the landing page has the same content as a page in the archives ?

Does Dreamweaver support inline CSS styles?

I don't write HTML every day, so DreamWeaver is a useful crutch. Often I find myself writing content for a site where I have no control over the page header. I need/want to use some one-off CSS to do some layout, etc. If I'm not mistaken, the only way I have to do that is to use inline CSS. DreamWeaver provides nice dialog-box-based support for editing CSS in a stylesheet, but AFAICT, not for inline CSS. Am I missing something? Obviously, I can hand-edit - I'm looking for pull-downs, etc.


How to correctly count pageviews?

I've been using a free 3rd party sitestats counter for years, and I would like to get rid of the external party. For this simple thing I'm only interested in pageviews (other stats I use google analytics for). So, I'm performing an insert on the footer of every page (excluding all bots I have seen coming along in the last week), but for some reason my counts are 45% higher than the old counter and 40% higher than google's pageview counts. Are there any additional checks I need to do to prevent counting incorrect pageviews? Thanks!


Duplicated contents warning in Google Webmaster Tools even though I use canonical links

I have some duplicated pages that show the exact same content on different URLS on my website, and I use canonical links to point them all to one of the pages. So if Page A, B, C, D and E have the same content, the canonical links on pages B,C,D, and E all point to page A, and page A does not have a canonical link. I see some warnings in _Google Webmaster Tools_ -> _Optimization_ -> _HTML Improvements_ , regarding duplicated descriptions, titles, and more even though I have used the canonical links. Have I misunderstood how canonical links work? Isn't this their correct usage?

What is the ideal publishing workflow for an enterprise CMS?

What is the ideal publishing workflow within an enterprise CMS? Background: Company size is 1,000. There are approx 20 Managers that must approve their respective department content before publishing. There are 3 User Roles:   1. Webmaster Admin (support)   2. Publisher (managers)   3. Editor (staff) At the moment an Editor make their change and then submits this for review. During this time, the content is locked for editing. A Publisher receives an email of "work waiting to be released" and can review the work through a test web address then either approves or rejects this work. This process works most of the time but there are some exceptions. Sometimes a large scale project requires that content changes must be updated and tested _well_ before they are published. For example, a product is being renamed publicly in 2 months time so this means that content is updated well in advance and is tested internally. These pages then remain in this stage for the 2 months until they are needed to be released. This means that ~50 pages are locked for editing, meaning any other content on that page cannot be updated during this time - causing disruption and frustration for content owners. Now, I know this mustn't be too a unique problem but I am puzzled at how to deal with it.


Are there any services that sell 'packs' of domain names? What I'm looking for is a service that will allow me to buy, for example, 50 random domain names. I don't care what the names are, they could be `kjsgadkj286.mobi` for all I care. Does anything like this exist? I am not interested in registering them myself. I thought that maybe domain squatters or someone similar might have leftover worthless names they want to get rid of.


Usable unicode for a "view" icon?

I've been looking to use unicode for more iconography, and I haven't been able to find any appropriate unicode for a "view" icon. None of the "eye"-related unicode that I've found works on the web. Does anyone know of any unicode icons that would be appropriate for a "view" icon?


Creating advanced website by redirecting and replacing content from Google Sites

I would like to create a corporate website with members area. Importantly, I want many novice webadmins to be able to modify static content themselves. Therefore, I got the idea to create the site using Google Sites and insert elements with width and height in places where I want dynamic content. The website would be read using PHP on a different server and the marker elements would be replaced with dynamic content created by PHP. What would be the drawbacks of this approach?


Anyone using Paypal for recurring payment?

Are there any catch in using Paypal for recurring payment? We are not in US/UK/CA, so seems there are not many options for recurring payment, for example, FastSpring charge us 8% for recurring payment which is insane and we can't afford. Are there any alternatives?


How do I forcibly obtain a domain?

I would like to acquire a domain name which is currently completely unused except to redirect to an unrelated domain's website. I have performed several port scans and the only active port is 80 which promptly sends a 302 on HTTP Get. The site may be held by a domain squatter. How can I force them to give up the site? It is, for all intents and purposes, unused. If it is registered to a domain squatter, how can I make it expensive for them to keep?


How can I make a web browser view my .h file as text?

I want to post a .h file from a project I'm working on. I set a simple href link to it, like:
Click here to download the strings file.      When I click on it, though, my web browser (Iceweasel 12) gives me a prompt to download the file, instead of just displaying it: ![enter image description here](http://i.stack.imgur.com/Dnl8O.png) Is there any magic I can add to the web page, or as a header to the file (that will still allow it to be included by a .c compiled with gcc), to get the .h file to be displayed in the web browser?


How to automate website UI testing

I would be rolling out many incremental updates/features to my website and I want to make sure no existing functionality is affected. How can I automate this process? I know there are some tools that test the UI but am not sure which ones? I would like to run a sanity test every week and be able to know if anything got broken.


Howto fix "[Errno 13] Permission denied" in mailman mailing lists

After migrating domains from one plesk server onto another, I got several of those mails every day: (the target mailbox does not exist, so I get those as undeliverable mail bounces)               Return-Path: <anonymous@lvpsxxx-xx-xx-xx.dedicated.hosteurope.de>     Received: (qmail 26460 invoked by uid 38); 26 May 2012 12:00:02 +0200     Date: 26 May 2012 12:00:02 +0200     Message-ID: <20120526100002.xyzxx.qmail@lvpsxxx-xx-xx-xx.dedicated.hosteurope.de>     From: root@lvpsxxx-xx-xx-xx.dedicated.hosteurope.de (Cron Daemon)     To: list@lvpsxxx-xx-xx-xx.dedicated.hosteurope.de     Subject: Cron <list@lvpsxxx-xx-xx-xx> [ -x /usr/lib/mailman/cron/senddigests ] && /usr/lib/mailman/cron/senddigests     Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ANSI_X3.4-1968     X-Cron-Env: <SHELL=/bin/sh>     X-Cron-Env: <HOME=/var/list>     X-Cron-Env: <PATH=/usr/bin:/bin>     X-Cron-Env: <LOGNAME=list>          List: xyzxyz: problem processing /var/lib/mailman/lists/xyzxyz/digest.mbox:     [Errno 13] Permission denied: '/var/lib/mailman/archives/private/xyzxyz'      I tried to fix the permissions myself, but the problem still exists.


Convert RSS feed in one line

I need to use an RSS Feed in a Digital Signage application (Xibo). But to scroll the feed on right or left I need it to be presented on a single line or only the first line will be displayed. I've looked at Yahoo Pipes but don't seams to make it, does anyone know a webapp or software i can use to convert the multi-line RSS Feed into one single line?


domain hosting redirect

I have registered a cheap domain (no hosting) and have a web server (AWS). In the domain registration I can forward to the web server. This means that if a user enters my domain they see a **frame** of my website. This means if they click on another page the address still shows my domain but not domain/page. Is there a better way to do this, more SEO friendly as well?
