How useful is Facebook Connect Login?

I'm starting to see some Websites offer the option to login via Facebook. I'm curious how useful it is a feature. For example, when someone logs in, does her friend knows on Facebook that she logged in? What if there are more fields that I require than Facebook stores? Which one would you use from the list of 13 controls?   * http://vatlab.com/facebook-asp-net-libs/facebook-connect-asp-net It would save me a lot of time to buy the app from them. But I wonder if there is anything else I'm missing out (like a free version elsewhere). My goal is to make registration/sign up quick and painless so they go through the motion while spreading the word. At the end of the process, the user will receive something (i.e. free e-book). So it seems that there are 2 points where Facebook can help and perhaps make their friends take notice. Facebook Connect and Facebook invite friends.


Software to combine multiple images

Combining multiple images into a single image is a good way to improve performance by reducing the number of http requests. But how do most webmasters manage their combined images? Is there any software available that makes combining images into a single image easier? It would be nice to throw the software a set of images and have it combine them and then report on the X,Y,width,height offsets within the image.

DNS Hosting with Purchased Domain Name

I have just purchased a domain name, however now I realise dns hosting was not free and I have to pay extra to set an MX, CNAME or A record. Do I have to do this with the same company I registered my domain with or can I do this with someone who offers this service at a lower cost?

Best Ways to Develop "Chicken and Egg Content" sites?

By 'chicken and egg content' I'm referring to user-contributed/crowdsourced content - sites like StackOverflow / StackExchange. When SO launched, Jeff and Joel were essentially able to 'cheat' the system by bringing in a massive ready-made audience from their respective blogs, but this isn't really an option for most people. Reddit.com launched, from what I can tell, via a combination of sources: * They were among the first batch of YCombinator startups * Alexis and Steve ghost-contributed a lot of content to get the ball rolling * There was a bit of controversy when they switched from Lisp to Python for their backend, and this attracted fans of both languages/environments. Now, when reddit launched, it wasn't completely like it is today. At first, reddit didn't have comments, it was just a bunch of links to various sites - essentially, a user-driven portal. I have a similar concept in mind, and I _could_ bootstrap the site with ghosted contributions, but it would only take me so far. The real value of the site, much like S[OFUE], comes from user contributed value-add content, and I could never generate enough of such meaningful content to help in any meaningful way. I've considered sending emails to relevant bloggers and posting on forums asking for their input / minor contribution, but this feels pretty disingenuous to me, since for the most part I don't follow these people regularly, and likely don't spend much time on any of these forums. Long story short - what are some great ways to promote a site (and for free, since I'm quite broke...), and entice experts to contribute early content?


Allowing users to post without logging in

On Stackoverflow/Stackexchange, users are allowed to add posts without requiring login, just wondering what should be considered before allowing this kind behavior on a site? Couple of things spring to mind...   * Recording the users IP address   * Limiting number of anonymous posts from a single IP Are there any other things to consider?


Password protecting dynamic URLs in Apache

I am handling many logical files request using the Apache server. To make the path simple I have used `mod_rewrite` in the `httpd.conf`. Now I am planning to enforce authentication on these logical file (dynamic content) in `.htaccess`. Apache Documentation tells that only Files directives can be used in `.htaccess`. Files directive only accept the path of the files that are present on the disk and does not support logical files. How do I overcome this? How can I give the full path of my URL to enforce diff types of authentication?


SEO impact of links for javascript functionality

For example, jQuery tabs uses a link as each tab, that opens the tabbed content. Or often times developers will use a link as the anchor text for a hover tooltip, even though it doesn't actually link anywhere. Given that the functionality uses javascript, for the most part links aren't needed, however there the most apt markup to describe the purpose. '' Do links with href="#" effect seo? Should they be avoided? Or do links to the current page be helpful in any ways? Just to over explain, here's an example of the 2 ways to code it, this time using dhtml rather than javascript.               Anchor text  This will appear on hover      CSS:               .tooltip span{display:none;}     .tooltip:hover span{display:block;}      OR without a link
 Anchor text  This is my hover tooltip

Redirecting previous domain subfolder links

I've recently bought a domain that was unregistered. After looking in Google webmaster tools, Google is trying to crawl random pages that don't exist. Turns out it did have a previous owner. The offending pages are in the style               mysite.com/catalog/?Brand=0&Model=102&ID=0      Although there doesn't seem to be any links on the web (who knows what the previous owner did) I want these to point to my homepage. I've tried redirecting using..               redirect 301 /catalog/ http://mysite.com/      but I end up with a redirect to my homepage with an URL in the address bar of...               mysite.com/?Brand=0&Model=102&ID=0      How do I get it to just redirect to my homepage and show URL mysite.com in the address bar with no gubbings on the end? I am on an Apache server with PHP 5 Thanks.


Cache control using WAMP

So I tried to allow cache by using               <meta http-equiv="Cache-control" content="public, max-age=31536000">      but I'm not pretty sure if the contents are being cached. Although I receive a 304 code in Firefox Network Monitor I get 0 cached responses in primed cache. I should be seeing something like this https://mdn.mozillademos.org/files/7409/nm-performance.png like I see in others sites and like explained https://developer.mozilla.org/en- US/docs/Tools/Network_Monitor. What I am doing wrong? Is this something I must activate in WAMP? Or I must improve something in the tag? I also tried:               header("cache-Control:public, max-age=31536000");     header("last-modified: Thu, 04 Sep 2014 03:30:00 GMT");      and               header("cache-Control:public");     header("last-modified: Thu, 04 Sep 2014 03:30:00 GMT");


Can I use only subdomains for my site contents?

I have a domain name `www.site.com`, here for SEO (main keyword) purpose, I would like to use `english.site.com`, is it have any negative impact on SEO? without having content on main domain. (i.e. there is no content on direct `www.site.com` or only just having link to `english.site.com`). I don't have experience in this case, any one can advice me? am I right or wrong?


OpenSTV Integration configuration on Windows IIS server

Although this involves a Drupal site, the question is more at the server level, I think. **BACKGROUND:** Site uses modules "Election" and "Election OpenSTV Integration, the latter one being involved in counting votes from the election. It must link to "OpenSTV" code, a set of apps which run in Python, which must also be installed on the server. **PROGRESS SO FAR:** The whole system was set up on a local Mac-based dev site, using the Mac version of Python and linking to the OpenSTV code on that computer. Election counting worked. **NEW ENVIRONMENT REQUIRED for Production Site:** The site was migrated (actually, re-created) on the Windows IIS server where it needs to reside. All needed modules were installed, a Windows version of Python was installed, and the OpenSTV code directories were installed. The one remaining step is that the "Elections OpenSTV Integration" module needs to be given a valid path to a file "runElection.py" which is within the same set of directories as used in the Mac environment. **THE PROBLEM:** A path must be provided in a config field for the OpenSTV Integration module. The path that worked in the Mac environment was:               /Users/myname/Documents/openstv-master/openstv/runElection.py      In the Windows IIS environment, after much trial and error we found a path syntax that saves and does not generate a "cannot be executed" error as we were getting in earlier attempts. That path is:               C:\Python34\python.exe C:\inetpub\wwwroot\naccas-elections\sites\all\libraries\openstv-master\openstv/runElection.py      We had assumed if it doesn't generate the "cannot be executed" error, there must not be any problem with either the path or permissions to execute. However when I am logged in with appropriate permissions and go to the site's OpenSTV tab (in a test election which has some votes recorded) and try to export results, what I get suggests it's not working. In the localized Mac dev site, I could choose to export HTML and would get a zipped folder of HTML files which displayed as expected. In this production version on the IIS server, the same export command does generate a .zip file – but attempts to unzip it generate another single file of the form "SandBox-Election-SNTV- HtmlReport.zip.cpgz" – so, appending ".cpgz" to the original export. What could be going wrong in this case? Is there any reason why the OpenSTV code (v. 1.7) wouldn't run in the Windows IIS server environment, even though a compatible Python version is installed? Is there an alternative to consider? To provide context: The image below shows the configuration field as presented by the OpenSTV Integration module; what's in the field is just a default: ![screenshot of OpenSTV Integration config dialogue](http://i.stack.imgur.com/N7WvS.png)


What is the challenge with Korean websites?

I have been asked if the web CMS I work on can do Korean websites - prompted because other CMS's seemingly have problems doing this. I have no prior experience with Korean websites, but after looking at a few .kr sites and creating a few test pages (by copy/paste) I fail to see what problems could exist as long as you have a fully unicode enabled CMS. Are there anything beyond unicode that a web CMS should be aware of in order to properly handle a Korean website?


Hosting a site that stores a large amount of images using asp.net MVC 4?

I am working on a website that is kinda like Flickr, for my photography course. Now every student has an account and is able to upload their photographs, which can be seen by everyone who goes onto the site. Each student will be uploading about 100 photographs during the semester, and there are around 30 students, what is the best option to store the images? And since the pictures are very HQ, they take up a lot of space. I have worked with ASP.NET MVC before, but I've never been the one to actually deploy the website, so I am a bit lost at that. For now I am storing the images on a MySQL database, but is there a more efficient way, also, I would like to be adviced as to which hosting plan I should buy on godaddy.com? Should I get a VPS? Or if you can provide me with a link to a tutorial that can point me in the right direction? Thanks a lot for your help.


Is there a plugin for FireFox to simulate IE 6 HTML rendering?

Is there a plugin for FireFox that will allow me to view a website as if I was looking at it in IE 6? I have a login portal on the site built with ASP, and users with IE6 cannot display it. I have added a message that shows up only if the user is running IE6 saying their browser needs updating to display this website correctly. I cannot view this or check it works as I do not have IE 6 or a plugin that behaves like IE 6


Considerations of the HTTP Content-MD5 Header

We are debating whether to use the Content-MD5 header. **Pros:**   * The CMS allows us to easily include it with minimal overhead (cached responses in 80%+ of the cases).   * It would add another layer of protection against problems. **Cons:**   * The Content-Length header is always present (even on dynamically created pages) so the client should not need another form of validation.   * So far we are unaware of any problems caused by corruption.   * MD5 checks add latency to web page load times. **Points:**   * Do certain media types include their own form of digest that makes this unnecessary?   * If TCP offers this already why was it included in the HTTP standard?   * What are the existing real-life uses?   * Is the MD5 check negligible? It is no real problem for this to be added to the unit tests and implemented, about an hours work; however if it is detrimental then we want it added to the higher level sniff tests used in website "health check"s.


Companies that provide user information / targeting API?

Are there any companies that provide simple APIs to get user information or targeting data on website visitors? Essentially some anonymous version of the data used by advertising companies to target ads. This could be a vector of 20 real number or something more intuitive. I'd like to customize landing pages based on visitors' information, beyond what I can get from the request headers.


How to proceed now , development is done !

The project I was working/coding on from last couple of months is done from a development point of view. The project is a lightweight desktop video streaming application in Adobe Air. I also put up a website to publish it: `http://awesome.fm/client` I am less experience in marketing or spreading products. Can you guys just give me ideas on how to proceed from here? What I want to know is, how do real startup owners spread the product they make? Whatsoever, any opinion will be helpful.


URL rewrite - should I write a fake file suffix (.html) or something more realistic to the platform? (like .asp or .cfm)

First, I'd like to preface this question by stating that I insist upon publishing a file name suffix, but only on the outer most entity of our site, the detail pages. I do realize the suffix is not necessary, and as such, some people just don't use it in their URL rewrite rules. **Our basic logic is as follows:**   1. Top Level: h t t p://no-host-name.just-the-domain.tld/   2. Next Level Deeper, append a "directory" of: `/most-general-groups-of-entities/`   3. Next Level: `/additional-specificity-like-location/`   4. Next Level: `/more-specificity-making-a-smaller-group/` Each level is one click deeper, making all site content no more than four clicks deep -- good for getting spidered. ALSO -- and I like this "feature" -- you can actually remove the right-most piece of each rewritten "directory" and it will serve a page that is a list of links to all of the groups of data belonging to the classes depicted in the directories comprising the rewritten URL. The fourth click down results in a detail page, such as: name-of-entity.html **So the question: what should I write as a suffix to the file name?** It seems to be mis-leading to rewrite the URI having a suffix of html. I do believe the consensus suggests (still?) that .html is most favored. However, our technology platform, more accurately, would publish content using a page suffix such as .php or .asp. I do recognize there is a slight security benefit to masquerading the suffix that tells the world what your platform is. However, isn't it kind of black-hat-like to use a suffix of .html? Paranoia causes me to believe that Google may detect URL rewrite and potentially trigger the so-called over optimization penalty. Supporting use of the HTML suffix is the fact that we are, indeed, serving HTML content to a browser. It would make less sense to arbitrarily pick .pdf or .doc -- which sometimes scare away clicks when seen among search results. Also, to reiterate my earlier insistence that I prefer to use a suffix, it's because it completes our depiction of a logical hierarchy:   1. the site   2. rewrite directory one - the general silos of information   3. rewrite directory two - a folder containing more folders   4. rewrite directory three - the folder that has the documents   5. rewrite document name All directories end in a forward slash, and in contrast, documents, at least typically, have a suffix and do not have the trailing slash. I recognize there are certainly other dragons to slay in the course of a workday, but at the moment I am trying to finish up our URL rewrite, which makes this top of mind for me. **Can anyone cite examples to encourage or discourage the rewriting of a suffix of any particular type?** And, please, if you see errors in my logic or directory hierarchies, I want to hear what you have to say. Thank you.


a css or js of same name from multiple sites or multiple pages of same site

When a css/js refers on a webpage it is first downloaded to client machine. From the next time it is referred from browser cache (if it presents). Please tell me   1. What happens when multiple sites refer a css/js having same name.   2. What happens when sub-domains refer a same css/js   3. What happens when many websites refer css/js from specified cdn like google or some other place. Please tell me, in such cases, whether browser refers copy from cache or it makes local references according to main sites or something else.


URLs appended with a fullstop (period)

When I log into to my hosting provider to view my website stats I have noticed that there are a few repeated page URLs with a full stop on the end. I have hunted for this additional page on my FTP but can't locate them anywhere. Ideally I want to remove these from my analytics because they will skew my stats. The pages I'm referring to are these ones. /botanicals/homemade-gin-kit/1/. /botanicals/homemade-gin-kit/3/. /botanicals/homemade-gin-kit/2/. ![enter image description here](http://i.stack.imgur.com/VsCJk.jpg) Any ideas?

Virtual host not working in Windows 7 XAMPP

Download as PDF - really worth implementing?

Many CMS systems (e.g. Joomla) offer the user an option to download the post content in PDF format. Is this really worth implementing? Are there any reliable stats showing how many users do use this functionality? * * * Some additional notes about the content:   * let's say the site is a regular blog site   * I do have a print version with stripped graphics already (print stylesheets) I understand that having additional features like this (used or not) may be a benefit. But thinking this way we would have any fancy feature easy to implement on each site. I just want to provide really useful stuff, and seeing as every joomla site has a download as pdf opiton, I wonder how many users did ever used this option. My bet those links are clicked hardly ever, or just never. This is really easy to measure for everyone who owns site with those links.

PHP - How to Backup and Move Wordpress Blog Website to different directory on the same host

I setup a blog for development purposes on the ***.com/a/ directory and now want to move it to the root directory ***.com on the same host. How do I Backup and Move the Wordpress Blog Website to the Root Directory on the SAME host? I'm looking at a tutorial on WordpressSites.net & howtospoter.com but am pretty sure I can skip some of these steps because I am using the same hosting service and just need to change a couple settings right? Here are the steps require to completely change hosting companies:   * Complete Full Backup of Your WordPress Site   * Setup Your New Database at Your New Host   * Change Your Existing DNS Domain Name Servers To Point To Your New Host   * Upload and Import Your WordPress Backup To Your New Hosts Database   * Configure Your Import Settings For Restoration and Completion To Your New Host

Proper password handling for login

I have read a lot about PHP login security recently, but many questions on Stack Overflow regarding security are outdated. I understand bcrypt is one of the best ways of hashing passwords today. However, for my site, I believe sha512 will do very well, at least to begin with. (I mean bcrypt is for bigger sites, sites that require high security, right?) I´m also wonder about salting. Is it necessary for every password to have its own unique salt? Should I have one field for the salt and one for the password in my database table? What would be a decent salt today? Should I join the username together with the password and add a random word/letter/special character combination to it?


Using the same .com and .net domain - SEO Impact?

I have a client who has the `.com` and `.net` of their domain. They would like each domain to have content targeted for a different application. Let me explain: domain-abc.com will contain the services that are paid and provided by the company. domain-abc.net will be the community portion of the site that contains forums and other topics. All content for the .net domain will be provided for free. My question is this: Is it better to keep everything on one domain (either .com or .net) vs splitting the site onto two domains for SEO reasons? Or does it has little impact on SEO as long as I don't duplicate content across both domains? Note: Both the .com and .net are identical names.


nofollow drop down select options

I have a select input on a search results page and each option's value is a URL to sort the search results. There's an onchange event on the select to refresh the page with the sort option. Google webmaster tools is showing that I have duplicate meta content because it's following the sort URL's. Is there a way to put a nofollow on those URL's, or does any one have any ideas on how to mask them from search bots? Example:               <select onchange="javascript:document.location = this.options[this.selectedIndex].value">     <option value="/All/All/Category/Length/feet/USD/1/boat_search.aspxltid=0&sort=length_high" >Length: High to Low</option>     </select>


Cannot change file permission via FTP: '500 - command not understood'

I have an old site that is in danger of being compromised as many of the directories and files have permissions set to 777. However, when I try to change them to 555 via FileZilla I get the error > 500 'SITE CHMOD 555 filename': command not understood Googling it only reveals issues relevant to connecting to the server, but I can do that, as well as up and downloading files. I'm not sure what this means exactly. Is it that my account doesn't have sufficient permissions to make these changes?


Proxy pass from apache to jetty using localhost

In my `/etc/apache2/sites-enabled file I have two proxy pass statements: one to a Virtuoso server which works with localhost and one to a jetty server on localhost which doesn't, because "Firefox can't establish a connection to the server at localhost:8983.". Only when I give it the absolute IP does it work. What is additionally strange is that while for all other proxy passes the apparent URL in the browser adress field does not change while in the case of jetty it switches over to the one given in the proxy pass statement. Why does localhost not work with jetty even if the two are on the same server?

Should I, and how do I incorporate microdata into my asp.net website with 47 pages?

I have an asp.net (vb) with 47 pages. The problem is that it's in 10 different languages, although 98% just use English. I have 5 master pages. I've read Google Webmaster Tools, but I'm still confounded. I'm reading about how microdata is the way to go. Does this mean I should put **itemtype** and **itemprop** span and div tags in my master pages, or should I do all of my 47 pages (.resx resource files) separately? The main key phrase I want throughout search results is " **machine vision** ". For instance, the first couple sentences on my "about.aspx" page are:               USS Vision Inc. (USS) is a privately-owned company      with headquarters in Detroit, Michigan, USA. We      design, engineer, produce, and integrate special machine vision      error-proofing products and services that create lean factories by improving      the quality of manufactured products, and by significantly reducing manufacturing      costs through advanced automation.      Am I doing this right, or how would I do this if I'm not? Should I use the **itemprop="url"** or other **rich snippets** for every link in my website? I mean, do I need to add an itemprop to just about everything, or can I just alter my master pages? Any guidance in this regard to help improve my SEO and SERPS would be greatly appreciated!


Difference between linking to specific page or folder

Is there a difference between linking to www.example.com/site/index.html and www.example.com/site/ since it'll point to the same page? I point everything i can to a folder on my website, i just think it looks better when the browser doesn't display the name of the file. Is this wrong, right, good or bad?


private whois but still list email-address?

I tried Googling it, but I couldn't find an answer. I would like private whois, meaning I wouldn't want to display my home address etc. However, I still would want to list email-address.


What is the simplest way to accept recurring donations? (except paypal)

I'd like to put up a donation system for a nonprofit(outside US, central europe, no paypal/google checkout benefits apply) without too much coding/integration and with a checkout process as simple as possible from the user's POV. Paypal is not an option, since for recurring donations it requires registration and the paygate is only in major languages. What is the simplest/most efficient method to do this?


Should I get an SGC enabled SSL certificate?

I'm in the market for a new SSL certificate and am wondering if I should get an SGC enabled certificate or not? In the past I have just used cheap SSL certificates but since this is for a new company website I want to make sure I have the best but I am unsure whether it is worth paying the extra. The documentation states that it just enables older browsers to use 128 bit encryption when they would normally only be able to use 40 or 56 bit encryption. Would you pay the extra for older browsers which are likely to be extremely rare?


iframe links to social sites?

I'm working on a site that has a template with a number of static links to social sites such as twitter, facebook, etc. To avoid those counting as external links from each page, should I put them in an iframe? Is there a benefit or drawback to doing this? How are social links typically handled?


How can I repoint my domain? DNS/MX etc

I've searched the questions here, but have found nothing that gives me the assurance I require. My situation:   * I have a domain registered with Network Solutions, linked to hosting on NetSol    * I have hosting at GoDaddy   * I wish to have the domain registered with NetSol point to the hosting at GoDaddy   * I also have an external mailserver that must be pointed at to handle all mail requests (MX?) My question is how to I go about executing the above? Do I go into my Network Solutions account and change the DNS settings for the domain in question, changing the NS addresses to GoDaddy, and the MX addresses to my mail server? If this is correct, how would I then set the folder on GoDaddy that the domain points to, do I do this via my GoDaddy account? Apologies if this has already been answered elsewhere, I just require absolute clarity as this is for a fairly sensitive website change- and apologies for my ignorance on the matter!


Best Modifier Key Combination for Web Shortcuts

Many users of my website asked for keyboard shortcuts to access commonly viewed pages. I know that links may have `accesskey` but to access them is inconsistent across browsers. I'm going to use JavaScript to detect shortcut and I would like your input on what the modifier key(s) should be. I'm leaning toward `Ctrl`+`Shift`.

Letting hosted forum users design their own forums?

I'm developing forum/blog hosting software. I'd like the forum/blog owners that'll be using my service to be able to layout and style their own pages, e.g. make their own forum/blog "landing page", or about page, or page listing the hottest forum threads. I figure I could either build some graphical HTML design tool, which allows forum/blog owners to visually drag-and-drop page components to construct pages. Reminiscent of e.g. drag-and-drop-website-builder `http://www.weebly.com/`, or `http://snappages.com/` or `http://doodlekit.com/`. Or I could provide a template language, so forum/blog owners could write their own CSS and HTML in that template language.   * The template language approach seems terribly much easier than the graphical design tool approach, and more powerful for those who understands HTML — but terribly hard for those who don't?   * I want to spend as little time as possible with this templating / design tool stuff. It's not particularly related to the Unique Selling Point. But I think I need to do something. _Questions:_   1. What do you think I should do? Start with a template system and then later on consider some user friendly graphical design tools? Or let non-techies click-and-choose between templates/CSS made available by technically skilled people?   2. Other benefits/drawbacks of the template or graphical-design-tool approaches?   3. Do you have any general comments? E.g. in what manners is all this silly? Or what should I do differently... or not at all?

Tracking an iframed page hosted on another domain with Google Analytics

I've followed Google's instructions on tracking iframed content on another domain (http://code.google.com/apis/analytics/docs/tracking/gaTrackingSite.html#trackingIFrames) as best I can, yet there is still no data showing up in Analytics for the iframed page. Parent page (http://www.blackangus.com/primeclub/):               <script type="text/javascript">         var _gaq = _gaq || [];         _gaq.push(['_setAccount', 'UA-xxxxxxx-xx']);         _gaq.push(['_setDomainName', 'blackangus.com']);         _gaq.push(['_setAllowLinker', true]);          _gaq.push(['_trackPageview']);              (function() {             var ga = document.createElement('script'); ga.type = 'text/javascript'; ga.async = true;             ga.src = ('https:' == document.location.protocol ?

Why won't the iframed page show up in Analytics?


Favicon not showing in Safari 5.1

Is there a reason why a _favicon.ico_ is not showing in Safari 5.1 on Mac? It shows on every other browser I have tested except the above mentioned one. In Safari on Windows it shows. I've declared it like this:   `<link rel="shortcut icon" href="http://www.mysite.com/favicon.ico" />`


How long before legacy 302s are recognised as 301s?

We have some legacy 302 redirects in place on our site that should have _always_ been 301s. We've now changed the redirects to 301s but various SEO tools (and presumably Google) still see the 302 redirect rather than the 301. My question is, how long do 302s normally get cached for (if there is a 'normally' in this situation)? And is there anything we can do to speed up the process of recognising the change to 301s?


Should SaaS products have 'Product' rich snippet markup for Google?

I run a SaaS startup that charges a monthly fee for a service provided through the website - no physical delivery, and no specific place for reviews etc. Does anyone know whether applying the rich snippet markup for a Product to my 'packages' page would be appropriate?


Domain Name Not resolving with webhost nameservers and without www

Searched all over and tried playing with httpd.conf , nothing works. The domain name can be resolved with www.domain.com but without www its does not resolve. Advice for A Records does not work. I have a domain from Registrar otwohosting.net there panel is like publicdomainregistry.com and have options for nameservers. I have pointed nameservers, but with mx toolbox, only www.domain.com looks up and fails for non www What is the probable cause ? Here is snippet from httpd.conf               <VirtualHost *:80>     ServerAdmin webmaster@example.com     DocumentRoot /var/www/html/mydomain.com/     ServerName www.mydomain.com     ServerAlias mydomain.com     RewriteEngine On     RewriteRule ^/(.*) http://mydomain.com/$1 [L,R=301]     ErrorLog logs/dummy-host.example.com-error_log     CustomLog logs/dummy-host.example.com-access_log common     </VirtualHost>      Its centos dedicated server, with firewall and yes port 80 is opened for tcp and udp both. Additionally any change in document root explictly for www.domain.com also dont work. As default doc root is `/var/www/html/` but i do want it to resolve it to `/var/www/html/mydomain.com/` directory . Please help thanks **EDIT** Here is the link for my dns report [Link Removed] It gives strange result saying it can fetch dns records but cant resolve domain.. i am laughing and tearing down my head at same time   **Edit2**   Following the below answer here is the update:   1) I do have 3 Nameserver received from my web hosting company . Although i have unmanaged dedicated server, but nameservers are not ns1.mydomain .. they are like `ns1.mywebhost.com`,`ns2.mywebhost.com` and have been feeded At Registrar panel   2) created CNAME Record for `Host:www` , `Value:mydomain.com` - didnt worked   3) I do have a dedicated IP Available which i should use for creating A record - Did not worked   4) After performing these actions , domain is still not resolving. Even with www also it failed, which was working earlier.    I'm running in a big trouble UPDATE 3: Finally the solution by closetnoc worked. I used domain Registrars' Nameservers, with an Additional A Record and CNAME record to my Dedicated IP and domain name respectively. Although the DNS propagation is very slow with my registrar (otwowebhosting.net a reseller of PDR ) , and i will plan to switch to dedicated DNS hosting service soon. Thanks


Wordpress Sitemap for MSSQL

What can you do to speed up IIS 7 web sites?

Turn on compression and you'll see immediate performance improvements, likewise if you enable caching for complex web apps. What other configuration options you can change to improve performance? do you have "performance checklist" of things to set when you get a new server? I'm asking about IIS 7 or later (because all my current servers are IIS7)


SSL Certificate is Untrusted... sometimes

Web Designer I'm working with signed up a new client that needed an SSL certificate. We went to namecheap.com and purchased on from Comodo. Got all the needed files and set it up in ISPConfig. To test we used Windows 7 running IE8, Firefox 3.6, and Chrome 12, and then on OSX with Firefox 4, Safari 5, and Chrome 13. All of them worked fine. The client is getting 'This connection is untrusted' in Firefox 4 and 5. Safari works fine on their machine. On my machines and the designer's machines all works with no errors. I had the client forward me the info for the certificate that Firefox has and the fingerprints match up. I have an old Windows 2000 VM with IE6 and Chrome and those work just fine as well. Any ideas on what else to check or do? The server is running Debian 5.0, up-to-date, with Apache 2 and ISPConfig 3.3


What is basic requiremnt to publish ads on site?

I applied to google adsence last week. But they had rejected my application since they found some contents on my site which were not matching to their policies. I was surprised since no content on my site was spreading voilence, vulgarity. And all the articles on the site were written by myself. One of my friend suggested that   1. the domain must be 6 months old.   2. Average daily hits must be 30 hits/day. is there any other requiremnt?

Having multiple domains on a single hosting server

Heads up: both domains are registered at GoDaddy and the shared hosting server is also at GoDaddy. I currently have a website at `www.somesite.com`. I also have another domain name `www.mynewsite.com` that I want to have, but don't want to purchase a new hosting plan as I have plenty of space and bandwidth available on the one I currently run for `www.somesite.com`. Is there a way to use BOTH domains on the same hosting account and have a separate sites run from them, as if they are both totally separate sites? I was thinking since `http://123.123.123.123/` is mapped to `www.somesite.com` that they would allow me to map my new domain to some folder, like `http://123.123.123.123/newsite/` to accomplish this, but can't seem to find the right options in GoDaddy to do it. Any help or correction on terminology to better Google this would be great.


Need to sanity-check my .htaccess, especially Limit GET POST line for Google repellent

I need a sanity check on this .htaccess (from a WordPress site) I inherited from a 5 month+ old site. What's the symptom? Google + Bing crawl, but don't index any of the pages. Let me be clear: I'm not mad about "not ranking high." I think something is (accidentally) rejecting search engine indexing. I am not an expert on .htaccess, but one part especially looked funny, the **Limit GET POST** line. Is it not weird to have both Allow and Deny all, with no parameters? Also, I've ruled out robots.txt, but if I were you I'd want to see it, so here it is:               User-agent:  *     Crawl-delay:  30      And here's the more suspect .htaccess:               # temp redirect wordpress content feeds to feedburner     <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>     RewriteEngine on     RewriteCond %{HTTP_USER_AGENT} !FeedBurner    [NC]     RewriteCond %{HTTP_USER_AGENT} !FeedValidator [NC]     RewriteRule ^feed/?([_0-9a-z-]+)?/?$ http://feeds.feedburner.com/anonymousblog  [R=302,NC,L]     </IfModule>          # temp redirect wordpress comment feeds to feedburner     <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>     RewriteEngine on     RewriteCond %{HTTP_USER_AGENT} !FeedBurner    [NC]     RewriteCond %{HTTP_USER_AGENT} !FeedValidator [NC]     RewriteRule ^comments/feed/?([_0-9a-z-]+)?/?$    http://feeds.feedburner.com/anonymous_comments [R=302,NC,L]     </IfModule>          <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>     RewriteEngine On     RewriteBase /     RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f     RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d     RewriteRule . /index.php [L]     </IfModule>          IndexIgnore .htaccess */.??* *~ *# */HEADER* */README* */_vti*          <Limit GET POST>     order deny,allow     deny from all     allow from all     </Limit>     <Limit PUT DELETE>     order deny,allow     deny from all     </Limit>          php_value memory_limit 32M      Adding header by request:               <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8" />     <meta name="robots" content="noindex,nofollow" />     <meta name="description" content="buncha junk i've deleted." />     <meta name="keywords" content="keywords i've deleted" />     <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width" />


Pass IMG SRC via GET and echo it? Is that really secure?

I was wondering how I can make a really simple GET and echo request more secure The code:               $src = $_GET['src'];      echo "<img src='$src' />";      Basically, I have a URL like example.com/link.php?src=imgname.jpg Theoretically, I think it's possible to exploit it by inserting external URL's and trying to get them parsed on the site. Would you recommend doing a preg_match to only allow images and remove URLS?


Can't browse to folders of my website

Basically, I have a few subfolders that I would like to access and I can't seem to access them unless their is a `index.php/html` is located in that file. How do I enable it so that I can access any file within the folder without their being a index page? I am hosting at GoDaddy, if that makes any difference (and it is a Linux server).


How can I archive (for historical record) my website?

If I launch a website that displays 1000's of pages of content (text) delivered dynamically from data in a database and and I want some sort of record to prove that this data had been published (on that date), that I can use in the future, what are the options? I have seen a commercial web archiving service that is charging $15 per page (!). I understand that you can run software yourself on the server but i am unsure how this works with dynamically generated pages. Is backing up the database (with some type of timestamping and securing) enough? Would you then have to prove that your app was up and running and the website available as well? What are the alternatives?


Is it possible to post system-wide messages in PHPBB3? I'm performing a server move today. The server has a pretty busy PHPBB3 forum on it. I'm going to lock all forums during the DNS update. I'd also like to post a system-wide message informing the forum-users about the server transfer. What is the best way to accomplish this in PHPBB3?


Detecting structured data in Google Webmaster Tools

We have added some schema.org markup to a dozen of webpages on our website to provide rich snippets in Google SERP (different types, such as authorship and reviews). They are correct - at least, Google's Structured Data Testing Tool reports this. However, even after a week we see the message "We do not detect any structured data on your site" in the Structured Data section in Google WMT. How long can it take while the Google bot detects our rich contents? Is there a way to speed up this process anyhow?


DNS slows down on development environment

I have a local development environment setup on my Mac. I am running an Ubuntu Web Server inside of a Virtual Box VM. I setup a host file on my Mac that points my dev site to the IP of the Ubuntu Virtual Server. Everything works good other than the fact a lot (not all) of the time it takes more than 5 seconds to load a page. I used firebug to track down where the problem is and when it's slow the DNS part of my request is taking over 5 seconds. Like I said it's not all the time. Sometimes it resolves and loads the page within milliseconds. The same page one click will be super fast and then the next time it takes over 5 seconds. It's really slowing me down and I am not sure what is causing it.


How do I display content from another website that requires the user being logged in?

Say I have a website that requires a login, hosted somewhere remote. I would like to make a portal that shows this remote site but should always be logged in with the same user name and password on this remote site. If possible the portal should ask for a username and password and then use an iframe ( or something similar now that they are being phased out) to display this remote site where you shoudl be logged in. I would like to know if there is a web-ap for something like this, if not whether this would be possible to create. I do have access to a VPS running centos 64bit and a managed host.


Setting up page goals in Analytics when using progressive enhancement to load content using jquery .load

I'm using jQuery `.load` to load content in from other pages into my homepage, so that Google can still see whats going on I've made the `<a>` tags go to the pages but over ride them in the JavaScript so instead of going the that page it just loads in the content from that page to the main page. Normaly I would just make the page `/contact.html` a goal. Can I still get it to work as a goal if the content is being loaded in? Can I do something like when the user clicks `<a href="contact.html" id="load- contact">contact</a>` it logs the clicking of the `<a>` tag as a goal, rather than the actaul page being visited?


Counting hits to a website that does not have analytics installed

Is there a way to see from my hosting account how many visits a site receives if there is no analytics package? I have a shared hosting account with cPanel on Apache and gave user rights to a 3rd party. They deployed a website which does not have any analytics installed. Not sure if I have access to logs, or if there is something like a counter in DNS queries.


How does google react to duplicate pages with text in a different language?

If there is a copy of a site in another language, but with same resource filenames, does Google not like the fact that the resources aren't in the same language as the page?


Is there any way to really ban people from a website?

Suppose you have a user who is posting really offensive stuff on your website and so you ban them from your site (let's suppose your web app has a way to mark that user account as banned so they can't login again). Are there any intelligent ways to try and prevent this person from creating another account with a different username? My hunch is that are no hard and final ways to do this besides some sort biometric login device*. But I am curious to know of anything I could do to make it hard for someone to keep doing it. * _And I guess that Tom Cruise has sort offound a way around that one too._


Is there any benefit of Google Analytics asynchronous tracking code if it isn't placed in the <head>?

I'd like to go to the asynchronous Google Analytics script, but I'd rather not have it in the head (even though I know this is best practice). So, is there any benefit of using the async code if it isn't in the head, and alternatively, would it be safe to place elsewhere high in the page, like just inside the opening body tag, or in a .NET user control that loads at the top of the page? EDIT: In the instructions Google states: > If that isn't an option, you can still put the asynchronous snippet at the > bottom of the page. You can also split your snippet to retain some of the > benefits of asynchronous tracking. If I place the code there (without splitting) do I still benefit from asynchronous loading or is it negligible since it is at the bottom anyway?


Should I use SVG graphics when I can or is support for them too varied or uncertain?

I want to use only SVG graphics on my site wherever I can but it seems like support has been inconsistent in the past. Is SVG support finally stabilizing across browsers, or am I still going to have to hedge my bets with a PNG for the foreseeable future? Clarification: By "SVG graphics" I mean primarily things that one would find in a logo, e.g. customized font, sweeping brush strokes, maybe gradients. All easily represented in SVG, but I find myself exporting PNGs at every dimension a logo appears at to ensure browser inconsistencies in rendering SVGs don't cause the logo to appear different. But the SVG spec is well defined and I'm doing the exact same thing in Inkscape to get the PNGs and I feel like a crazy person; any browser should be able to do this for me in a consistent way, right?


check server speed / response time

I was reeled in by cheap, unlimited hosting. (Well, kind of cheap apart from having to buy a year upfront.) The moral of the story is it's awful. I'm trying to find a reason for them to let me leave and I've seen on there site they say "fast a reliable hosting" (big lie). Whats the best way for me to check the server speed response time so i can use this in my argument and hopefully be let go ? This has nothing to do with page speed, only server speed.


Make Google Plus One only work for the domain and not the path

> **Possible Duplicate:**   >  Make Google +1 button +1 a specific URL rather than the URL it's on? I'm creating an image sharing website, and since it's going to have many thousand links, then it's almost impossible to put a Google Plus One button in my site. Plus one is an indication of site's popularity and trust. You follow a link in SERP, because you see that somebody that you know has already plused one that link. So, you trust that link and click it. The more plus a page get, the more trustworthy it becomes. Sites which has simple static pages can get many plus ones, but sites like mine (dynamic sites with thousands of links) can't aggregate plus ones in one page. Is there any way to tell Google that I only want the Plus Ones to be counted for the **domain** only, and not for the **path**? In other words, how can I transfer a plus one given to the **http://example.com/tag1-tag2/2525** to plus ones given to the **http://example.com**? Is it possible at all?


Legality of publishing a website in directory?

I want to make a list of biggest websites that run on specific platform. I won't mention platform here but let's say xy for example. So basically it will be a directory where each site will be described with couple of words and with a name and link. Is there any risk that any company could suit me for this because I will reveal information which platform they use? To recognize that they probably run on xy platform I will check if a specific URL exists in their domain. Platform xy has specific URL key on all domains, that is how I know they run on this platform. This is actually public because everyone could do the same, but still I am not sure about legality of publishing their site on the list.


Does app non-approval cause Facebook FQL queries from my URL to have a zero `share_count`, or is that my bit.ly URLs?

I tried setting up the app (production, because we have no test server) with a test user and used him to share the content. The content was shared on the users' wall, but when I do an `fql query` on the `link_stat` table. I noticed that my URL has a zero `share_count`:               https://graph.facebook.com/fql?q=SELECT%20url,%20normalized_url,%20share_count,%20like_count,%20comment_count,%20total_count,commentsbox_count,%20comments_fbid,%20click_count%20FROM%20link_stat%20WHERE%20url=%27http://bit.ly/someurl/%27      and               https://graph.facebook.com/fql?q=SELECT%20url,%20normalized_url,%20share_count,%20like_count,%20comment_count,%20total_count,commentsbox_count,%20comments_fbid,%20click_count%20FROM%20link_stat%20WHERE%20url=%27http://<some-site>/somepage.html%27      Is this because I don't have my app approved yet? Or is it because I'm using bit.ly links back to my page to track individual Social Media campaigns in Universal Analytics? I don't know if my app is in **development mode** or not, I would think so because in the documentation it states:      `When testing your apps, place them into Development Mode. This hides your app entirely from all users who you have not authorized in the App Dashboard to see the app, for the roles described below. Please note that when your app is in Development Mode, you cannot call any API calls on behalf of users who cannot see your app.`


Display custom dimension and events in Google Analytics Dashboard

I currently send events to my Google Analytics account with custom dimensions and custom metrics. I use the measurement protocol to send these events. I set a Dashboard with a widget per custom dimension and metric and it displays me all I need. The problem is, only "today"'s value is displayed and when I pick another range of date the widgets display no data. But I know there should be data displayed because in the Behavious>Event section I can see it. One other thing is weird: if I choose to display from Yesterday to Today, all widgets are empty, but if I choose just today widgets display data. It does look like a bug, do someone knows more about it ? Thank you.

Sitemap creators not visiting most pages

I am trying to generate a sitemap for a customers website, http://www.ruralmarketing.co.nz . When I use the online generators it only ever creates a sitemap with two urls, the index and contact page. Is there something that I have done wrong with my url structure? I can't find anything obvious.


Can I change the cname of my domain to any other domain I want?

I own a domain name can i change it's CNAME to make it point to any other domain that I don't own? Example: I own a domain name (balh.com) can I make it an alias for google.com and yahoo.com? means when I enter (balh.com) in the web browser it shows the google.com webpage with the address (blah.com)?


How do I change my name servers for Sedo Parking?

I wanted to park my domain with SedoParking. It says to change it to ns1.sedoparking.com. I did change the start and www to that. But the A (Address) has to be an IP. So How do I change that?


Auto backup a file with a customizable extension name

Are there any tools we can use to automatically create a backup of file like (php file,css file,asp file) and have an extension name of "index.php.(timestamp)".?This is a common problem for developers or if not common I guess they will like it.


User identification via analytics solutions, any gotchas?

Currently we are using Google Analytics and provide a simple template generated privacy policy, i.e. standard policy on cookies, anonymous tracking etc Some more advanced solutions such as mixpanel now allow us to link logged-in- user, so the users are not anonymous anymore. Are there any gotchas if we are going to integrate these solutions, e.g. need to update the privacy policy, or provide a way to optout? particular we don't want to violate the EU's requirements.. p.s. We are running a ecommence site.


Files not caching

We store our images on S3 and our performance has been incredibly slow. This morning we turned on CloudFront in hopes that our performance would increase. When I analyze our performance with Google's Dev Tools or YSlow, our site is still slow. Both tools recommend I set expire times so browsers cache the images. I looked in our _.htaccess_ file, `mod_expires` is turned on with the following rules:               <IfModule mod_expires.c>      Media: images, video, audio            ExpiresByType image/gif                 "access plus 1 month"       ExpiresByType image/png                 "access plus 1 month"       ExpiresByType image/jpeg                "access plus 1 month"       ExpiresByType video/ogg                 "access plus 1 month"       ExpiresByType audio/ogg                 "access plus 1 month"       ExpiresByType video/mp4                 "access plus 1 month"       ExpiresByType video/webm                "access plus 1 month"     </IfModule>      Why are our images not being cached by the browser?

Where does the URL parameter "?chocaid=397" come from?

In Google Webmaster Tools, I noticed that my front page was indexed two times:   * `example.com/`   * `example.com/?chocaid=397` I know that I could fix this with the use of link type `canonical`, but I wonder: Where does this parameter come from? There are various sites that have pages indexed with this very parameter/value: https://duckduckgo.com/?q=chocaid%3D397. I looked for similarities between these sites. but couldn't find a conclusive one: It's often the front page, but not in every case. Some are NSFW, but not all. When one domains' URL has this parameter, often other subdomains of the same domain have it, too. ## Examples ### Wikipedia entry ![enter image description here](http://i.stack.imgur.com/Qe3JK.png) ### Microsoft Codeplex ![enter image description here](http://i.stack.imgur.com/ae7le.png)


Adding tracking to a link without rewriting the link

I use goo.gl as my url shortener when posting to social media and I really like the analytics it gives me: ![enter image description here](http://i.stack.imgur.com/UdFCK.jpg) I'd like to get similar tracking information for who turns up to my homepage via social media - at the moment I've just got my standard homepage link (because there is no need to shorten) ![enter image description here](http://i.stack.imgur.com/PG32r.jpg) My problem is: I think that the url structure (clearly academic, doesn't look like spam or like I'm trying to sell things) probably gets more clickthoughts than it would if I it was a classic goo.gl link. Is there a way I can add tracking information to the link (in this case I could put tracking on the site, but I'm looking for a general solution) so that it kept it's structure, but also enabled tracking?


How can CTR (Click-through rate) affect SEO & web site rank

I heard lot of "CTR affects SEO and makes site's rank better".   But i can't understand how!   If some one click links of my pages from my other pages or another site but the Search engine itself; How the search engine can find out that click actually happened? So Does CTR actually makes website rank (Google or Alexa or etc) better?   If yes how they detect the click?!


adding slugs to the URLs afterwards

we have a website for last 5 months and we did not used slug at bottom level elements so urls was like /apps/webmasters/badges/1100 would it make sense to add name to the URL after that point and redirect to the new ones ? I am interested in building more search terms. and increase page ranks ..... /apps/webmasters/badges/1100 -> redirect and served at /apps/webmasters/badges/1100-supporter Or should I keep old URLs as is and create new urls with slugs. I would also appreciate some advice on shared urls on facebook or on twitter in those cases. Thanks in advance...


Need Google to recrawl the pages

I've changed the meta description tag in many of my site pages. Should I select Fetch as Google->Fetch->Add to Index->URL and all linked pages in GWT? Will Google recrawl the whole site faster than it'd normally? This option can be used maximum of 10 times in a month. Can there be any side affects when doing this way in case only a few of site pages have changed?


How to prevent Google from indexing non-domain URL of website?

My webhost gives you two URLs for your website:   1. the URL on your shared server, which is something like `usr283725992783.webhost.com` and   2. your domain URL, which is `www.example.com` Google is indexing both of these URLs, but obviously I only want `www.example.com` to be indexed. I can't add "nofollow" tags to `usr283725992783.webhost.com` because that URL serves the same files as `www.example.com`. How can I only make Google not follow `usr283725992783.webhost.com` and keep following `www.example.com`?


How do I disable the ftp:// hostname

Is there anyway to change hostname from being `[ftp://mysite.com]`?. I'm not sure if there is any benefit to doing this but I notice that for high profile sites that doesn't get me to their FTP login, so why does it have to go to mine?


Will adsense 'use' comments between the adsense opening and closing tags for ad targeting?

I've got a simple website on which students of my school can see their timetable. I setup adsense three weeks ago and everything is working fine. But I would like to help adsense.   * Since only a timetable and a few instructions are shown, there is scarcely content to which ads can relate. Idea:               <!- google_ad_section_start –>     <!-- Students like clothing ... and bargains, etc.-->     <!– google_ad_section_end –>      Will this work? Or are there other ways to help adsense?


how to set 301 redirect in wordpress .htacces file

In continuation of my previously asked question preserve-search-engine-index- while-shifting-to-new-domain. The migration is being done in the word-press and we will have same server with same IP.Since the database is same, all we did is export the data from old database to new database changed the link and now everything is perfect. i know about that we can set 301 redirect in the .htacces file in wordpress but not sure how to do this, and since there are so many links in the old domain. i am not sure how best we can handle this redirect. Do we need to create a mapping for each old URL to new URL? and where we should put these mapping in the Old domain? any help in this regard will be much helpful.If i need to provide more information, please let me know i will put any other required information in post. We are planning to shutdown the Old domain in next 6-7months once the new domain is UP.Is that a good decision? Additionally one more doubt which is there in my mind is about duplicate contents since both the old domain and new domain have 100% similar contents, so there might be some penalty from search engines.How can we handle that?


How Google Web Starter Kit serves adaptive image for mobile?

My website weirdly (in a good way) serves smaller images when viewed on mobile. I wanted to know what cause this? As far as I know this is not the default behaviour, so I think it must be Google Web Starter Kit's doing.Here is the debug information when debugging on device. All images became 231 B size no matter how large it actually is. (On desktop debugging the size varies.) ![enter image description here](http://i.stack.imgur.com/bK87N.png) I tried using Google Web Starter Kit (https://github.com/google/web-starter- kit) recently. The tools in it are made of Ruby, Node.js, SASS and Gulp to help you 'build' website. Pre-build you can enjoy automatic reload because the Gulp script will watch all files for you. When build it will run various tools to minify HTML,CSS and compress images. According to this page https://developers.google.com/web/fundamentals/tools/build/build_site the gulp-imagemin was used. So I guess the imagemin is doing the mobile optimization for me? What kind of compression can serve automatically resized image on mobile? And why is the size 231 B? Is this related to my screen size?


Sending forms in MIME format via email

I am trying to send a form via email in MIME format. However, the input tag is displayed as text in square brackets and the button tag is displayed as plain text. ie.               <input type="submit" value="Submit" class="button"/>    =>    [Submit]          <button type="submit">Submit</button>                   =>    Submit      I also tried setting the Content-Type header to "application/javascript" I read on one site that when using MIME format, I should "code like it is 1996". Does anyone know if these features are supported; if so what can I do to make the buttons functional, if not is there a work around? The emails typically are intended to be opened in Outlook.


Hashbang priority vs clean url

Hi I am a newbie in google analytics.I have implemented a site with angularjs and Rails.Because of the use of angularjs the url generated is with hashbang(#!) for eg:-www.abc.com/#!/xyz Now I have made the website crawlable by google with the help of escaped fragment.So the website is crawlable and the results are shown in google. Now the SEO professionals in our office is telling me that a cleaner url ie without hashbang (www.abc.com/xyz) has more priority in results. All I want to ask is,is this true and will it not create duplicate pages if implemented.

SEO and unique IDs in urls

I have a web site who's home page is at               http://domain.com      when a new user first hits the web site I'm creating a unique id of 5 chars for them (for example 'abcde' and redirecting them to `http://domain.com/abcde` so they can later bookmark and return to their workspace. My question is what's the best approach for SEO purposes, I need the main url domain.com to be indexed but Google will also get the redirect and will not index the main page. I know about canonical urls, but this applies only when the domain.com url does not redirect also should I use 301 or 302 code in the redirect ?


Attach a Wordpress.org blog to my BigCommerce Store as a sub-domain

I am stuck in a peculiar situation. I have a store on BigCommerce configured with a domain from GoDaddy ( **mystore.com** ). I recently created a custom wordpress blog and hosted it on 1and1 hosting ( **s418783372.onlinehome.us** ), since bigcommerce can't host Wordpress. Now, I want to use it from a sub-domain of my main-bigcommerece store ( **models.mystore.com** ), but it doesn't seem to be working since BigCommerce is the Domain Manager, but GoDaddy is the Domain-Registrar and 1and1 is the host so it doesn't control the domain. I have tried setting up a CNAME record on BigCommerece and when it didn't work asked BigCommerece about it, but they said they can't do anything about it since they aren't the domain registrar and gave me a message saying: > The responsiblity to show the name in the browser on the site is up to the > server or site admin. The Cname can only get the browser there **UPDATE:** I succeeded in setting up a CNAME on BigCommerce poinitng to the site at 1and1, but for some-reason, all it gives me is a `404-Not-Found` error. I was thinking this is due to a restriction on 1and1, any idea on how to overcome that? > Not Found > > The requested URL / was not found on this server. > > Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an > ErrorDocument to handle the request. I tried adding a domain on the 1and1 control panel (http://faq.1and1.co.uk/domains/domain_xfers/dns_transfer/4.html), pointing to models.mystore.com, but it isn't letting me add a Sub-Domain, there... **UPDATE:** I added mystore.com as an external domain and them added models.mystore.com as a sub-domain on the 1and1 hosting Domains panel. And it works :) Thank you all

https and Google Search: how to run an https web-site to get Referer?

I note that www.google.com is increasingly being used through `https`, and this results in no `HTTP` `Referer` being provided to my web-sites for hits that originate from Google Search over SSL. How do I run my web-sites such that if they are to appear as a Search Result for a given search at Google, then an `https` version is provided, but only if the Google Search itself is accessed through `https`?


Collapsible menu and amount of links in a web page

One of my pages contain three levels of a collapsible menu (JS + CSS from mycssmenu.com). There are a dozen first level items displayed to users, each one with various second level items, and finally a lot of third level items, each one containing a related link. This generates a lot of internal links (300+). Because of SEO should I change the way the collapsible menu is displayed to reduce link amount? What do you suggest? I would like to avoid users to have to open a new page just to only see what are third level items and eventually follow one of its links.


Domain, subdomain and path forwarding

I have four domains:               domain.in     domain.com     domain.org     domain.co.in      I want to make `domain.in` as my main domain. I want to forward all my other domains to it. I want to set up forwarding such that:   1. `domain.com` goes to `domain.in`   2. `www.domain.com` goes to `www.domain.in`   3. `xyz.domain.com` goes to `xyz.domain.in`   4. `abc.domain.com/path/to/directory` goes to `abc.domain.in/path/to/directory` How can I do that?

web based booking systems

I am an IB(International Baccalaureate) student, and for preparing for my ITGS(Information Technologies in Global Societies) exam, and I would like to ask few questions to people who has worked with web-based booking systems. Here are the questions; *Could you please describe the booking system you are using ? *If so, how did you build your interactive booking system ?(Java, Flash, Javascript) *If you are using Flash for your interactive booking system, how did you manage the problem with smart phones and tablet devices that doesn’t support flash?  *What can you say when you compare the cost of building your booking system and the other alternatives ? *What difficulties you went through when you made your system ? *What are the advantages of using such a system ? Why did you prefer to do so ? *ls your system multilingual ? If not, why ? *If so, what are the difficulties of having a multi-lingual web-site? How did you solve these problems ? These are the questions I sent to some companies, who never replied back, so you may find them a little bit weird Any help will do Thanks

Nameservers and migrating a VPS

I am primarily a front end developer who has been tasked with upgrading my companies VPS. As far as I understand, this is just the process of obtaining a new VPS with WHM/CPanel and then migrating the existing accounts over to the new VPS, testing the sites out, then pointing the DNS to the new nameserver records. That sounds pretty straightforward. What I am having trouble understanding is how to set up the new nameservers on the new VPS. How do I obtain/establish the new nameserver records for the new, blank VPS?


Custom 505 and SEO

There is a PHP project that sometimes throws 500 errors, I'm making a customized 500 page so that people realize we are monitoring this event and we will fix the issues. My question is related to SEO Should I still send the 500 header? Or should I make it look like a normal page and just not index it or something? Is it a bad idea to remove the 500 header and use a normal 200?


running multiple name-based web applications on a single ip address with SSL

I'm working on web projects. My scenario is I have two web applications running on one single web server (Apache). Due to my company policy, they ask me to put both of them on SSL (Port #443), no other way round. Here is where I have a question coming up on my mind. As far as I understand, we can only have one application running over the above mentioned port. Is there any solution where I can have both of them running over SSL by using only one server? How many possible solutions are there? What I can think of now is I may assign different domain name for each web application. so, I can achieve that using virtual host setting with Apache. So, both of them can point to my single IP address. e.g.               1st web application:   https:www.abc.com     2nd web application:   https:www.xyz.com      Would this be a good idea? Any advice would be really appreciated.


Rewrite rule for 403

I have an _.htaccess_ file: In this file it redirects to `index.php` in case a file or directory is not found. My code is as below:               <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>         RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f         RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d         RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?/$1 [L]     </IfModule>      Everything is working fine with this code. Now when I get Forbidden error(403), I would like it to be redirect to `index.php`. Do you have an idea how to write an _.htaccess_ file for this purpose?


Google local search rankings is it possible without the use of citations

I have a client that is wanting a website design for his self-run business... Basically he is a self employed plumber so his home address is not visitable by the public, however the problem here is that he does not want his home address visible on the internet at all for one reason or another. I have informed him the benefits of having his address visible for such reasons as trust by customers as well as the benefits via Google's local search algorithms (Citations - Visible Address Details) on various directories including Google Maps, and Google Places. But he is clear that he does not want his address online and wants SEO + Web Design without any citations. Now, I care about my reputation in my local area and do not like do half-cut jobs, If I do SEO I want them to be the best they can otherwise word of mouth that customer could say to someone else after my services they are no where to be seen, (I know you can't keep them all happy but none the less). This is kinda new for me since Google introduced local rankings and something I've never had to do... So my question is fairly simple and hope that people who reply have some kind of experience in attempting ranking websites locally without citations.. Is it even possible to rank a local website with Google's local algorithms without the use of citations (address information)?


SEO - Reducing significance of irrelevant kewords

I have some irrelevant keywords high up in my Google Webmasters Tools Keywords list. Unfortunately it's stuff that needs to be on the site. E.g. I'm getting words like _log_ (from log-in), _copyright_ , _privacy_. I heard in the past that you could apply `class="robots-nocontent"`, but I don't think google uses this (and poss yahoo doesn't either with the bing change). What, if anything can be done to downplay these keywords?


SEO: How to stop certain web-pages from "having importance"

> **Possible Duplicate:**   >  SEO - Reducing significance of irrelevant kewords. I wrote "having importance" since I do not really know the right way to say this. I have certain pages in my site like "Terms of Use" and "Privacy Policy" and all that admin stuff, and for some reason google gives them great importance, they are in the footer and don't have any tag or anything so it's kinda weird. But anyway, I see in Google Webmaster Tools that some of the keywords for my site are stuff like "Privacy Policy" and of course this has nothing to do with my site, I don't want those pages to have that big importance, and probably steal "juice" from the other pages. What's the best method of stopping this from happening?   maybe this? `<META NAME="ROBOTS" CONTENT="NOINDEX, FOLLOW">` There are links from the "Terms" pages to the home page and other important pages so is this what I should put?


How does Google prevent GA accounts from being spammed

Since the `Google Analytics` snippet is available in the source code of the page (e.g. below is stackexchange's)                  <script type="text/javascript">var _gaq=_gaq||[];_gaq.push(['_setAccount','UA-5620270-24']);             _gaq.push(['_setDomainName','.stackexchange.com']);             _gaq.push(['_setCustomVar', 2, 'accountid', '148108',2]);      _gaq.push(['_trackPageview']);         var _qevents = _qevents || [];         (function(){             var s=document.getElementsByTagName('script')[0];             var ga=document.createElement('script');             ga.type='text/javascript';             ga.async=true;             ga.src='http://www.google-analytics.com/ga.js';             s.parentNode.insertBefore(ga,s);             var sc=document.createElement('script');             sc.type='text/javascript';             sc.async=true;             sc.src='http://edge.quantserve.com/quant.js';              s.parentNode.insertBefore(sc,s);         })();         </script>      I was wondering how `Google` were preventing people's `GA` accounts from being spammed. For instance I could modify my `/etc/hosts` file to point `webmasters.stackexchange.com` to a server of mine, then on that server I create few dummy webpages with the above `GA` code, and I could use an automated browser like Selenium to continuously browse these pages and execute the `GA` code which would generate plenty of requests from my browser to `GA`. **How does Google prevent people's GA account statistics from being spammed?**

Outsourcing backend work

I would like to make a website that has a lot of the same features and functionality of www.quibids.com. I need user accounts, payment processing, various products that will have a timer, packages of "bids" for a price, and I will also need a custom flash interface application that records data based on user input and a CMS system so I can update the products on a daily basis. FYI this has nothing to do with auctions quibids is just a good indication of what I need. I'm trying to create the website as cheaply as possible, but at the same time, I want the end result to have a high end professional appeal (like quibids does in my mind). I plan to get the front end via www.99designs.com (any better recommendations?) which is where quibids got theirs. I have received some quotes to build out the rest, but they range from 30K to 150K (in the US). I stumbled upon freelancer.com and found some people who I think can get most, if not all, of the work I need done at a much cheaper price. So here are my questions:   1. Am I off base or am I approaching this correctly?   2. Where can I find someone locally (in the US) who would have knowledge of everything I'm trying to accomplish that could check the work that someone is doing on freelancer to ensure it's quality? I can see that it looks and works, but I don't know the interworkings of complex web design.    3. How much do you believe I should be spending on a website described above?


PHP framework or app for customer support / automated troubleshooting

I need to provide my customers a web help so that I can diagnose their issues.

How do you use/make CSS based buttons?

'd like to have one image for the background and then reuse that for any size button with any text on it by just using a CSS class. So, I'd like to have the button, the moused-over and clicked button as images, but then use CSS to apply that to a button so that I can change the text in the HTML (rather than having to recreate the button image everytime the text changes or I need a new button with new text). Also, that'll allow me to change the color of ALL buttons in one place. I do web development only part time, so a bit of a newbie at the CSS stuff.


Google De-Index many pages at once?

On one of our websites, Google has been indexing something it wasn't supposed to. We fixed the problem so it shouldn't happen anymore, but are interested in requesting that Google de-index these pages. The problem is that there are about 10,000 pages. They all look similar to this:               http://www.mysite.com/file.php?o=34995     http://www.mysite.com/file.php?o=4566     http://www.mysite.com/file.php?o=223af     http://www.mysite.com/file.php?o=6ga3h     http://www.mysite.com/file.php?o=sfh45a     etc...      All the pages are `file.php` with get parameters like above. Is it possible to put in a de-index request like: `http://www.mysite.com/file.php*` so that Google removes all 10,000 pages?


Google indexing page with parameters but page is Disallowed in robots.txt

I have the following in robots.txt:               User-agent: *     Disallow: /refer.php          User-agent: NinjaBot     Allow: /          Sitemap: http://www.mysite.com/sitemap.xml      The `refer.php` file does various things depending on what `GET` parameters are passed to it. When I do a Google search, I see tons of results for pages like this:               http://www.mysite.com/refer.php?o=23945     http://www.mysite.com/refer.php?o=39858     http://www.mysite.com/refer.php?o=9683     http://www.mysite.com/refer.php?o=10569     http://www.mysite.com/refer.php?o=58304     http://www.mysite.com/refer.php?o=69604      Is the reason that Google is indexing these because I don't have an asterisk `*` after `refer.php` in the `robots.txt` ? Should changing it to `Disallow: /refer.php*` fix the problem?


Template CMS system for user space within a site

Any ideas on a CMS system where I want to give each user a specific page to do their content and not be able to impact other users pages. It seems most CMS system give a basic level of membership that doesnt allow this kind of setup.


Can I instruct the browser not to look for a favicon?

I have a website that doesn't have/need a favicon. Is there a way to instruct the browser not to waste a request looking for /favicon.ico ? I don't mean filtering logs, but something client-side, like this:               <link rel="shortcut icon" href="about:blank" />      That appears to work, but I'm not in a position to do comprehensive tests, (and search engines are being unhelpful). Can anyone confirm if this is a valid method, or provide a suitable alternative? **Update:** On further investigation, that _doesn't_ work (at least not with Chromium 18 on a non-local domain). A partial solution is using a `data:` URL to serve a base64 blank image, (example from here):               <link href="data:image/x-icon;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAABAAAAAQEAYAAABPYyMiAAAABmJLR0T///////8JWPfcAAAACXBIWXMAAABIAAAASABGyWs+AAAAF0lEQVRIx2NgGAWjYBSMglEwCkbBSAcACBAAAeaR9cIAAAAASUVORK5CYII=" rel="icon" type="image/x-icon" />      This is working, but has two down-sides:   * It will presumably fail in browsers that don't support data URLs.   * It results in no favicon at all - i.e. it hides the browser default icon.

Change CSS EMs to Percentage Automatically

I cheated on a small site I was working on and used a site builder (Web Dwarf by Virtual Mechanics) to save time. I didn't realize it at the time, but this builder specifies the width, height and positions using CSS EMs. Is there an automated tool out there that will read through the CSS and convert each EM to a percentage so it will display correctly on wide screens as well? Any help would be great! Thanks. * * * **Here is the CSS:** http://pastebin.de/14055


Interspire Email Marketer Configuration

I'm trying to set up Interspire's Email Marketer for a client. I have a working configuration of it on the VPS but this one is having issues! I have transferred it from their old server and setup the new database... I'm thinking it could be something to do with the PHP settings / MySQL memory or buffer. When I send to a small list, it works fine, but when its faced with a larger list it won't do the business... it won't even start sending. I've been comparing the two configurations:   * http://oldhabs.com/emailmarketer/check_iem.php (This one works)   * http://servedby.intelligentmedia.co.uk/check_iem.php (This is the one that won't send to a large list) I've been getting these errors from Interspire itself: > Error Resource is not really a resource Internal May 15 2012 07:20:05 > Location:: > > /var/www/vhosts/intelligentmedia.co.uk/servedby/admin/functions/api/jobs.php > (Line 1068)   >  Error Table 'imsemailsender.email_user_permissions' doesn't exist Internal > May 15 2012 07:20:05 Query: > > SELECT l.listid, l.ownername, l.owneremail FROM email_lists l, > email_user_permissions p WHERE l.listid IN(198) AND l.ownerid = p.userid AND > p.area = 'lists' AND p.subarea = 'bouncesettings' > > Location:: > > /var/www/vhosts/intelligentmedia.co.uk/servedby/admin/functions/api/jobs.php > (Line 1065)   >  Notice Undefined index: ownerid Internal May 15 2012 07:15:54 Undefined > index: ownerid in > /var/www/vhosts/intelligentmedia.co.uk/servedby/admin/functions/send.php at > 213 File Line Function > /var/www/vhosts/intelligentmedia.co.uk/servedby/admin/functions/send.php 213 > HandlePHPErrors > /var/www/vhosts/intelligentmedia.co.uk/servedby/admin/com/init.php   >  548 Send->Process > /var/www/vhosts/intelligentmedia.co.uk/servedby/admin/index.php 76   >  require_once >   >   >        Notice       Undefined index: jobdetails    Internal    May 15 2012 > 07:15:54    Undefined index: jobdetails in >   > > /var/www/vhosts/intelligentmedia.co.uk/servedby/admin/functions/send.php at > 212 File Line Function > /var/www/vhosts/intelligentmedia.co.uk/servedby/admin/functions/send.php 212 > HandlePHPErrors > /var/www/vhosts/intelligentmedia.co.uk/servedby/admin/com/init.php   >  548 Send->Process > /var/www/vhosts/intelligentmedia.co.uk/servedby/admin/index.php I know the top error is to do with the wrong bounced address... I think. Would this stop the send to that list? I've checked the server logs, and I'm not getting any errors.


Unknown CSS font-family oddity with IE7-10 on Windows Vista, 7, 8

I am seeing the following "oddity" with IE7-10 on Windows Vista, 7, 8: When declaring `font-family: serif;` I am seeing an old bitmapped serif font that I can't identify (see screenshot below) instead of the expected font _Times New Roman_. I know it's an old bitmapped font because it displays aliased, without any font smoothing, with IE7-10 on Win Vista-8 (just like Courier on every version of Win). **Screenshot:** ![Screenshot 1](http://i.stack.imgur.com/gFSEO.png) I would like to know (1) can anyone else confirm my research and (2) BONUS: which font is IE displaying? **Notes:** IE6 and IE7 on Win XP displays _Times New Roman_ , as they should. It doesn't matter if `font-family: serif;` is declared in an external stylesheet or inline on the element. Quoting the CSS attribute makes no difference. Adding "Unkown Font" to the stack also makes no difference. **New Screenshot:** The answer from Jukka below is correct. Here is a new screenshot with Batang (not BatangChe) to illustrate. Hope this helps someone. ![Screenshot 2](http://i.stack.imgur.com/iwSRq.png)

How many pages can be uploaded in the single website without offending popular search engines?

Currently we are serving details to our visitors through a database oriented website. Visitor selects around 5 Level options E.g. Level One: book Level Two: Chapter Level Three: Topic Now we want to convert all the details in pure html contents so there will be around 20000 pages. (Our purpose of doing this is that the search engines will be able to crawl all the contents.) If we convert Database contents into html pages and upload them all to our website in a single stroke, will there be any problem with popular search engines like google and yahoo?


Can't load Wordpress static files on home network

I've just installed Wordpress 3.5 on my laptop (LAMP on Ubuntu 12.10) and when I'm trying to access the site from my phone but it doesn't load static files (css and images). I tried with Opera Mobile Emulator on my laptop and it works perfectly. I also have another Drupal site on my localhost which I can load from my phone without any issues. Both directories have chmod 777 permissions. What can cause that? Just tried to open the site from my sister's laptop but it except static file I can't access any post or page.


SEO: How to make Google show correct page during search for a specific keywords

My company sells a lot of timber such as decking, landscape timber, timber sleepers, etc. We specify this in the front page of our website -that we sells decking, landscape timber, etc. Lately we want to focus so Google shows a correct landing page for focused keywords such as "timber sleepers", "landscape timber". So I create a dedicated landing page for "timber sleepers", and ask Google to fetch it. The problem is: whenever I search "timber sleepers", Google keep showing the **front page** of our website, because we have those keywords in the front page. Google also does not show my new "Timber Sleepers" page at all. It seems that it only shows my website URL once (which is the front page). What will be the best way to optimize this? Does this happen because I just made the changes recently (about 3 days).


How important is my domain registrar if they aren't doing any of my web hosting?

_Forgive me if I'm asking a noobish question, I'm quite new still._ I recently registered a domain with **Network Solutions** , hoping to sometime later this year put up a website that I haven't finished building yet. As of right now, _all I've done with NS is registered my domain with them_ , nothing else. But I keep on reading about how Network Solutions is a terrible and overpriced registrar, and how I ought to transfer my domain over to another registrar as soon as my 60 day restriction has expired. But the way I see it, considering I've only registered my domain with Network Solutions, the only task they'll be responsible for is pointing clients to the web address which my website will be hosted under. If I'm doing my webhosting elsewhere, what sort of complications might arise from using NS then? _(Aside from their DNS servers going down, but how likely is that?)_ (I'm still considering just moving the domain over to Hover or Bluehost as soon as I am allowed to simply because of the large amount of advice against using NS, but was wondering what sort of problems I might encounter given I don't.) Thanks
