title: SEO strategy for multiple pages per entity

text: I'm trying to decide a good SEO strategy for a web-site with multiple pages per entity. For example, there are main pages for `companies` which summarize the main information and each sub-page and links several sub-pages like:   1. people that work at `company`   2. Companies that are doing business with `company`   3. Advanced details about `company` etc.. Currently, traffic is coming to the main page as well as to the sub-pages directly. I am trying to evaluate a strategy that will combine the SEO power of each entity into one page, in order to improve ranks for popular terms (the entities themselves). The site structure arch is something like this:   `http://mydomain.com/companies/stackexchange` `http://mydomain.com/companies/stackexchange/people-that-work-at` `http://mydomain.com/companies/stackexchange/related-companies` `http://mydomain.com/companies/stackexchange/advanced-info` Things I've considered:   1. Adding `rel=noindex` for sub-pages. Considering these sub-pages are already attracting considerable traffic, this might backfire.   2. Adding `rel=canonical` from sub-pages to main-page. I feel this doesn't fall in the main intended usage, so not sure how Google will treat such a usage. Would you recommend one of these approaches / another option? Thanks.

title: Is adding a couple of keywords in the footer (no links) considered wrong doing?

text: Many posts claim that putting links with keywords in the footer is not considered a good practice by Google. Some claim Google may penalize you. But, is adding a couple of keywords without links in the footer considered a bad practice? I do notice that Google picks better ads, but does it trigger ranking penalties? How many keywords would be considered too much? Should I remove them overall? Here is a page example: http://myworldclocks.tostaky.biz/


title: How to allow Google Images search to by pass hotlink protection?

text: I saw Google Images seems to index my images only if hotlink protection is off. [*] I use anyway hotlink protection because I don't like the idea of people sucking my bandwidth, i simply use this code to protcet my images from being hotlinked:               RewriteEngine on     RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^$     RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http(s)?://(www\.)?mydomain\.com/.*$ [NC]     RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http(s)?://(www\.)?mydomain\.com$ [NC]     RewriteRule .*\.(jpg|jpeg|png|gif)$ - [F,NC,L]      But in order to allow Google Image search to bypass my hotlink protection (I want Google Images search to show my images) would it suffice to add these lines:               RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http(s)?://(www\.)?google\.com/.*$ [NC]     RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http(s)?://(www\.)?google\.com$ [NC]      Because I'm wondering:   * are the images hotlinked just from `www.google.com`?   * and what about `google.it` / `google.co.uk`, etc.? FYI: on Google official guidelines I did not find info about this. * * * [*] I suppose hotlink protection prevents Google Images to show images in its results because I did some tests and it seems hotlink protection does prevent my images to be shown in Google Images search.

title: scorecardresearch dot com: weird tracking pixel

text: I'm seeing _very_ weird behaviour in relation to this domain and a tracking image. On a specific page on our site, I'm seeing a script that's being added dynamically, apparently via flash (I wasn't even aware that flash could alter the DOM ...) That script is located at: http://scorecardresearch.com/beacon.js When I request that URL, I see a 1x1 gif. Another weird point is that this domain appears to break all the web-based whois tools; entering that domain results in a 1x1 gif. This is even to the extent where, if I enter scorecardresearch.com into the Title as part of this question, GIF code appears just below it! Hence, the "dot" in the title. The only 'unusual' thing on the page is a slideshare 'widget', which is flash- based - that's why I'm concluding that flash is altering the DOM. Anyone know what is going on here? How concerned should I be?

title: SEO techniques to handle frames

text: I have a webpage which has a topbar spanning across the top and then the content in a frame below. The content is on a different subdomain (i.e. the page is at `sub.foo.com` but the content frame at `site.foo.com`). When people search for the site on Google the link is often to the content subdomain (i.e. `site.foo.com`) rather than `sub.foo.com` which has the topbar, which they should be taken to instead. What are the best practices for handling this? We are implementing a redirect that will take the user to `sub.foo.com` if they go directly to `site.foo.com`, but I wanted to know if there were any SEO techniques we should be employing such as _robots.txt_ or canonical site tags to prevent the content subdomain being indexed and linked to from search engines. Needless to say, we do not want to lose ranking due to any techniques we employ.

title: Using a temporary domain parking page as a permanent redirect page

text: So, for obnoxious reasons there is no way for me to change the URL of my website. I can't switch hosts--the content needs to be stored where it is--so the best solution I could think of was to set up a redirect page from a website with another host that has my desired domain name with the URL www.example.com. But I saw this Go Daddy article about parking your domain name and it says that when you park your domain name a temporary webpage is created. Could I park my domain name and turn this temporary webpage into a redirect to my pre- existing site? If I can't do that, how do I setup a redirect to my existing page? Do I just need to do something like set up a google sites page, register my domain, change the google sites page URL, and then make the home page a simple redirect? Is there any simpler process?

title: Getting the containing box of a given one in the CSS box-model

So does anyone know a reliable way to get that information ? And if possible in a visual way, e.g. like the box margin, border and padding boundaries highlighting present in all modern browser.

title: Are there any drawbacks to including UTM information on outbound links?

text: The question: > Pros and cons of tracking referral trafic with "utm" tags asks for pros and cons but is quite old at this point and doesn't have any Cons in the answer. Hopefully we can address the cons / drawbacks here without it being closed as a duplicate. Specifically I'm thinking of two things:   1. Some people use plug-in to automatically change or remove UTM codes just to "screw" with people.   2. Everyone has their own way of doing things with UTM and analytics and such, if they track at all. (I work in a B2B environment, and many of these guys have real old websites they hardly maintain or bother with.) So, what are the drawbacks to include UTM information on outbound links? We have a Dealer Locator and have started putting up Dealer Testimonials. I'm thinking it might be beneficial to include a UTM letting the dealer know the click-through came from us, if they check. But I'm not sure what risk there is since I certainly don't want to upset any of our dealers.

title: Web stalker has purchased a domain name that uses my personal name, web page is defamatory

text: We have been unsuccessful in persuading a stalker's website host to release the domain name he purchased which is my own personal name, e.g., PERSONALNAME.com. You will find my name below in the signature area. Look for yourself. On the one page that this domain name leades to is dreadful and defamatory material. No attorney has felt it worth their time to chase this issue down, and we cannot afford to go to a national or international dispute resolution group to bring this issue to WHOIS. Worse, the stalker is amoral and a psychopath: he would just love the attention. We've even consider trying to find someone to illegally hack into the webpage to at least redirect the domain pointers to my own professional website. This issue has continued now for two years and is affecting my professional reputations as potential clients have looked for me online. Is there any remedy? Your help and advice would be greatly welcomed.


title: Apache: use `foo.html` in preference to `foo/` when both exist

text: How to get Apache 2.2 to use `foo.html` in preference to `foo/` when both exist? I'm moving a site from dynamic php to static html, while retaining the domain name. I've created a temporary mirror using httrack. The mirror site works well, except that pages which used to be `foo/about` are now `foo/about.html`. When I replace the live site with the mirror all incoming links and bookmarks will be broken, something I want to avoid. I've discovered using `Options +MultiViews` in my .htaccess file achieves most of the above, except when file and directory names collide: if the url is `http://example.org/how_to` apache tries to load `how_to/index.*` instead of `how_to.html` when the latter exists. I've tried a few mod_rewrite rule sets but only succeeded in duplicating the multiviews behaviour at the expense of a more complicated .htaccess file:               # Add .html internally (but remove externally):     RewriteEngine   on     RewriteBase   /          # Skip the next 2 rules (the .html stripping redirections)     # if the current URL doesn't end with .html     # or the requested file doesn't exist:     RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} !\.html\    [OR]     RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f     RewriteRule .? - [S=2]          # Redirect /dir/index.html to /dir/:     RewriteRule ^(.*/|)index\.html$   $1 [R=301,L]     # Redirect /dir/file.html to /dir/file:     RewriteRule ^(.+)\.html$   $1 [R=301,L]          # Internally, treat request for /dir/file as /dir/file.html     # (but only if /dir/file.html exists):     RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME}.html -f     RewriteRule ^(.*)$ $1.html   [L]       As you've likely surmised by now. I'm on a shared host and can only use `.htaccess` directives. This is static html, php, cgi, etc. are not available. Hat tip to _cjm_ and _pne_ on the nearlyfreespeech.net forum who got me this far.


title: Run external application on markdown source in ikiwiki

text: Can I add a button to each wiki page in ikiwiki which launches an external application (on the client side) or script with the markdown code of the current page as input? **Edit** : I didn't realize that it might be complicated to do it on client side as Zenklys' answer suggested. So perhaps I should describe more concretely what I have in mind: I want to have two buttons:   1. "Get LaTeX" and 2. "Get pdf". Clicking on "Get LaTeX should generate a LaTeX file and the browser should simply open or download that file. Analogously for the pdf. It would even be ok, to have a button "Generate LaTeX" instead, which generates the LaTeX code and changes after the generation to "Get LaTeX" which simply points to the LaTeX file. So it is not really necessary to do the generation of the files on client side. Would be ok, if this is done (on a temporary folder) on server side. For the LaTeX resp. pdf generation I want to use a custom wrapper script for pandoc, let's call it mymarkdown2latex resp. mymarkdown2pdf.


title: Ensuring accessible image-based rollover navigation?

text: I'm building an image-based horizontal navigation bar for a site, as the designer wants a specific typeface, and the font is not licensed for embedded web use. I assumed the best way to do this would be to make an unordered list of the menu options, then style them with background-image replacements. I've done this, and they work well. However, now they want the images to scale up on hover, and try as I might to find a solution to scale the background-image, it seems to be more trouble than it's worth with the current state of CSS3 support for background-size. (Please correct me if I'm wrong and there's a solution I missed.) So, I'm resigning myself to switching to an IMG for each list item. In this method, what would be the best way to keep it accessible without making a royal mess of things? Should I simply use an ALT attribute for each image, or does that not degrade as gracefully as image replacement? Obviously, I am building this site for a client, and while I've been trying to keep up with best web standards and practices, I must admit I haven't built a client site in a few years (my usual gig is video and film post-production), so I'm going through a bit of a crash course to make sure I'm covering all my bases. Thanks!

So no developer has an access to the prod server except for the team lead. That's our current setup. Now, what we want to do is to give developers a way for uploading their updated files to the server without the team lead intervening in the process. What do you think is the best way to go about this?

title: Setting file permissions on linux to allow PHP to write to a directory

text: I have a website built with Codeigniter and hosted on a Linux box. I am trying to follow "best practices" when it comes to my file permission settings, but I'm not sure if I completely understand the security implications if I set a directory to 777. I have an images folder which is publicly accessible (it needs to be for website users to see the website images). My Codeigniter code needs to write to a a subdirectory in that folder ('images/data') occasionally. All of my files are defaulted to 644, and my directories to 755. For the directories that Codeigniter needs to write to, I set the permission to 777. That seems like it's too loose. Is there some way to restrict my system so that only Codeigniter is granted "write" access to those directories? I've read some stuff online about setting the owner to "apache" but as far as I can tell, I don't have an "apache" owner on my linux box. I just see root and then the website domain owner (the server hosts multiple domains, each has a "user" account).


title: Is 'noindex, follow' a good idea for blog's index page?

text: I am new to SEO for blogs (to be more precise WordPress). I wanted to only page with a single article to be indexed. This is not because I am afraid of duplicate content, but because I am afraid a person, through search engine, comes to one multi-post page (like tag page or month page) to only find out that the keyword he/she looks for matches two irrelevant posts. I also won't know which post the visitor wanted if he/she comes into a tag archive page because it won't be recorded in the stats. So to achieve this I should add "noindex" (now I know there is no need to explicitly specify 'follow') to tag/category/author/date archive pages. What I am wondering is that if I should do this to the index pages (and page 2/3/.. of it too) as well? Would this have bad side-effects? EDIT: sorry now I clarified the question more.


title: Webmaster tools show old URLs are crawled

text: We renewed our website last year (2012) in December. After that we have put 301 redirection in place for the required pages. We removed some pages in old site when we moved to new site. For example : In the old site we had `http://www.mydomain.com/article/` and in new website we removed it. Pages that don't exist in new site we redirect it to 404 page. Since then, the `Webmaster -> Crawler Errors -> Not Found` report shows these old URLs with a **Response code** of 404. Also the **Linked from** section displays internal site links that refer to this page. When I checked these pages, the link is not found. I understand by reading this Google link http://support.google.com/webmasters/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=2409439 that these error don't harm our SEO, but I would like to know the exact reason why these happening.

This apparently caused my website to think that I was DDoSing it, and it automatically ip banned me and a bunch of friends that were using it with me. I can access my site right now with a vpn, so I was wondering, how do I remove the IP ban from the firewall? I am using a paid shared hosting service, so I don't have root access to the server. I have access to the cpanel and all the tools that come with that. I'm thinking it isn't possible, but hopefully you guys have other ideas. Thanks for any help.


title: Has anyone ever claimed a warranty on an SSL certificate?

text: SSL certificates often advertise varying amounts of warranties or guarantees, for example $500,000 or $1m. My question is, in the history of SSL, has anyone ever actually successfully claimed one of these warranties? If not, is it fair to assume they are just marketing gimmicks?


title: fireworks font / text problem

text: Fireworks cs5 (and cs4 for that matter) does not display fonts correctly. What I mean by that, Text appears different in browsers then it appears in fireworks. Changing anti-aliasing mode does not correct the problem and custom aliasing simply is not something I am willing to adjust every single time. Anyone knows a workaround or a fix for this? * * * EDIT: This link summarizes my problem. http://blog.hipchat.com/2010/11/03/how-adobe- ruined-fireworks-cs4cs5/

title: Static vs dynamic website search engine results

text: I am mobile software developer and I want to create a website like this one. I will have static webpages not dynamic ones (homepage, jobs, about, contact...). When people search on Google with this word: "iphone uygulama yaptirmak", and I want to be on the first page. Google wants dynamic pages, not static. That's why I want to ask you if it will be a problem for my website?


title: What do you consider a "mobile" device?

text: I'm implementing a mobile-friendly version of our corporate web site and will be using WURFL to detect mobile browsers and redirect them to our mobile site. Having recently purchased an Android tablet, I've found that many sites consider it to be a mobile device even though it has a large 10" screen and it's perfectly capable of handling sites designed using standard desktop resolutions. My plan is to use WURFL, examine the device capabilities and treat anything with a resolution width of less than 700px as a mobile device, but I'd like some input as to that sweet spot for determining mobile vs desktop.


title: How can I automatically clean, beautify, and autoindent dynamic HTML code?

text: Using content management systems to build dynamic sites invariably results in ugly HTML. Indent levels are often wrong, white space litters the page, and a host of other tiny annoyances plague anyone attempting to read the source code for debugging or educational purposes. **Is there a way to automatically strip white space, autoindent, and otherwise beautify the output of a PHP or other dynamic script that spits out HTML?** I'm interested in any automated server-side solution that will improve the legibility of dynamically generated HTML, as well as solutions that strip all white space for compression purposes. If it matters, I normally run Apache or nginx. It's safe to assume that I'm caching the output, so I won't be running whatever HTML beautification witchcraft you suggest on every page view (and taking the associated performance hit each time). As such, I'm more interested in ease of setup and reliable results than I am in performance.


title: Ruby on Rails and HTML created websites

text: My question is simply this: If I use Dreamweaver to create the website layout, but I need to use Ruby on Rails software to create a webservice (SSH included) will the HTML and Ruby conflict with each other?

Basically, I just want to have a website where I post images in a blog-like fashion, and then I will have my Windows 7 Phone pull these images and populate them in an app of mine. Thanks for any help and insight.


title: MySQL can only log in as root, even after creating new users with their own database

text: **Problem:** I just set up a Debian Wheezy installation for testing, and installed the LAMP packages and PMA. I can log in as root with my pre-defined password, create/edit/delete both databases and users. The problem comes when I create a new user 'something', set a password for it, and grant it all privileges on a table 'something' (same as the username). Upon connecting, it denies access to the user. **Details:**   * Host: `localhost using MySQL 5.5.24-8`   * Creating user: `CREATE USER 'something'@'%' IDENTIFIED BY '***';GRANT USAGE ON *.* TO 'something'@'%' IDENTIFIED BY '***' WITH MAX_QUERIES_PER_HOUR 0 MAX_CONNECTIONS_PER_HOUR 0 MAX_UPDATES_PER_HOUR 0 MAX_USER_CONNECTIONS 0;CREATE DATABASE IF NOT EXISTS`something`;GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON`something`.* TO 'something'@'%';`   * Checking privileges: `GRANT USAGE ON *.* TO 'something'@'%' IDENTIFIED BY PASSWORD '*92F9DAF5F5129554509489FDB6A433510223C799';`   * Result: `Access denied for user 'something'@'localhost' (using password: YES)` **More Info:** I use this same exact procedure for the Squeeze distribution, and it works perfectly. Is there a chance it's _because_ of Wheezy, or something else? I need to continue using Wheezy because of the updated packages (for this test server -- the others work fine), so 'just use Squeeze' is not an option. Note: I HAVE tried `flush privileges;` to no avail.


title: Email forwarding to Gmail accounts instead of maintaining a mail server?

text: I want to set up 4-5 email addresses on my newly purchased domain (from `namecheap.com`), for team size of just 2-3 people. But I really don't want to maintain my own mail server. I don't have the experience and I want to avoid the expenses involved. Maybe I could have kept the mail server alongside my webapp on the web server, but I want to avoid that as well. So I came across a workaround option to forward the emails. Thus I could setup email forwarding from NameCheap's management console to my free Gmail accounts. So all my emails would come to Gmail account, convenient & familiar interface as well free. Are there any serious drawbacks of this approach?


title: How transparent is a randomly named directory or file?

text: > **Possible Duplicate:**   >  Are files in a hidden directory safe? Let's pretend that I have a website and want to keep personal notes on it. If I make a directory like mysite.com/84eW93e7 or mysite.com/34aWe897.txt where the letters and numbers are random so randomly guessing the file or directory name are impractical. How secure is this directory? Could someone still discover the existence of the file or directory assuming directory listing is off? If so, how would they find out? Of course this isn't something I would do, I'm just curious.


title: Getting the masked URL values in Mediawiki

text: I have successfully masked the URL in Mediawiki. By using the following scripts in _.htaccess_ and `localsettings.php` files in Mediawiki, i.e.: **.htaccess** :               Options +FollowSymLinks          RewriteEngine on     RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f     RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d          RewriteRule ^(.*)/(.*)$ /mediawiki/index.php?title=$1&actions=$2 [L]      **Localsettings.php** :               $wgScriptPath       = "/lib/mediawiki";     $wgArticlePath      = "/lib/mediawiki/$1/$2";      It is working fine with required URL. But my problem is I want to consider the second parameter as a querystring for my pages. But I could not get the second parameter in my file. I tried with `$wgrequest` function but it is only giving the first parameter as `title`. I tried with `$_REQUEST` also, it is sometimes give the value of `$_REQUEST['actions']`. But many times not. I cant understand what is the problem.

title: Custom report for tracking webiste search within specific page

text: I've got a search page in my website: `www.example.com/?page=search`. It presents an HTML form with method="get" for searching the site so a search for "test" will result in url: `www.example.com/?page=search&q=test` There is also pagination so I end up with the following content pages tracked in analytics:               www.example.com/?page=search&q=foobar&page=2     www.example.com/?page=search&q=foobar&page=3     www.example.com/?page=search&q=foobar&page=4     www.example.com/?page=search&q=test     www.example.com/?page=search&q=test&page=2     www.example.com/?page=search&q=test&page=3     etc...      How is it possible to get a report for the search terms of "page=search"? Should I do it via the event tracking API or is there a configuration only way via Google Analytics? Maybe a custom report? thanks


title: Does Google use Google Analytics information in its search algorithms?

text: Does anyone know whether Google makes use of the information it obtains via Google analytics in ranking of search results? Does it, for instance, make use of the bounce rate for a page given a certain search term? If you have a high bounce rate (information Google would not have been able to obtain without Analytics), would this negatively impact your ranking? This is especially relevant to me, since I'm running a web application that has only one main page. Therefore, users might stay on that page for a long time, but the bounce rate will always be close to 100% - that's not something I'm able (or willing) to change.


title: How does Indeed.com make it to the top of every single search for every single city I search for?

text: I am very curious and want to understand how Indeed.com, the job board and job search engine company, is able to not only make it to the top of search engines for any city related job search but also dominate the top 5 to sometimes 8 positions completely on Google's first page of results when there is more than one city in the US with the same name. Try it - type in any combination like this: Austin jobs; New York Jobs; etc.. If you type in Boiling Springs jobs, a city name that is found in multiple states, you'll see they completely dominate the entire first page of results starting with position one. You can also see that same dominance if you type in a company name, like "GE Jobs" or even "PHP Jobs" How can they do this? First, this is a search engine - there are no real content pages on the site. If you get a list of results and click on one of the links, it takes you to the actual site where the job was found. Secondly, there are more than 40,000 cities in the US alone. I'll admit that there are some extremely talented SEO experts out there, but dominate every "word" plus "job" and "location" plus "job" combination that is typed into Google? Also, could their URL structure of the the search results have something to do with it? if you get a location result back, for example, its indeed.com/l-Boiling-Springs,-NC-jobs.html. From a developer's perspective, I have never used a construction like that before. As a side note, tripadvisor.com, who dominates almost every query related to travel, uses the same structure. What are these guys doing? Thoughts? EDIT: I was continuing my research and I typed in "indeed.com url structure." Guess what came up in the search results? http://www.indeed.com/salary/q-Changing-Url-Structure-l-Arkansas.html First, I cannot imagine that there are so many jobs in the world, and so many backlinks to the page, that it merited it's on webpage but also showed up before any other possible result. How did it take my query, build a page on the fly, and then push itself immediately to the top of google for the result?


title: Tracking blog post views on WordPress blog, ignoring pages

text: I've got a WordPress-based blog which also hosts a few popular jQuery plugins. These plugin pages get a lot of traffic (in the range of 10k views on weekdays), burying any page views on regular blog posts. I'd like to know which and how many blog posts are actually read. So far I tried to set up a seperate Google Analytics profile, filtering out those static pages with a directory-exclude filter. Can't really get that working, the results (after gathering data for a few weeks) are completely useless. I've installed the StatPress plugin, which looked somewhat decent. While that has now gathered roughly 150mb of data (600k entries), its reports are again completely useless. All I get are overview numbers that GA also provides, and various "latest" views, which again exclusively show those plugin pages, burying anything else. What are my options to see the data I want, preferably using existing tools like GA or WordPress plugins?


title: Get aggregated view of data for entire website with Google Analytics

text: I have a website (www.ayrshireminis.com), which has three main sections under different directories, these are:               /forum     /galleries     /contact      I would like to have an aggregated view of the data for the whole website, but also for each section. What is the recommended approach for doing this? I believe I can create a web property that includes a profile for the entire website and duplicated filtered profiles, each section having an include filter. This is my gut instinct, but i'd like to know if there is another (better) way to do it? Maybe by having one account that includes a profile for the whole site and another profile with an include filter for the individual sections?

title: Does changing the URL of your website helps getting out of Google sandbox?

text: I believe one of my websites went into Google's sandbox, because it was under construction. I know there is a debate about whether the sandbox exists, but when I read about it, it really seems like it exists and that I fell into it. My site is now finished and clean white hat SEO has been applied. I can see that the web URL is in the index with the site command. However, it does not rank for its keywords (it does not appear in search result) for the past two weeks. Google Webmaster crawl stats are erratic. The cache command returns a pretty recent version of it. I have read somewhere that changing the URL of one's website helps solving the Google Sandbox effect. Has anyone tried this and did it work? Would you recommend this? Thanks. **Update** I have performed a small test where I copied my site on another server with another IP address and another URL. I made a small modification to the title, but the content remained the same. That new site was indexed quickly, but it did not help getting out of the sandbox. So, this time, I know for sure this technique does not help... However, I noticed that setting a sitemap in my `robots.txt` with proper `lastmod` values for modified pages, helped update the cached page and the keywords in Google Webmaster Tools. My guess is that Google reads `robots.txt` more frequently than it crawls my sandbox pages, which helps presenting more recent content to users and accelerate the exit from the sandbox effect.


title: Blocking referral traffic

text: I am currently getting a massive amount of referral traffic to my site (Spam), that can sometime generate 1-2 GB worth of traffic per a day (which kinda sucks, when you have a 10GB limit from the hosting company). I am seeing 4-5000 hits per day, generating 20-25000 page views... It seems that almost every day I'm having to add new sites to my .htaccess file to prevent my site being closed because I exceed my traffic limitations. From what I can see in the logs, whenever I add a site to be blocked, the traffic just starts coming from a new site within a couple hours. Here is something from my .htaccess file currently:               RewriteEngine On     RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} ^http://www\.everyoneweb\.com [OR]     RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} ^http://freefilearchive\.com [OR]     RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} ^http://4runnerforex\.com [OR]     RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} ^http://www\.julznakomua\.strefa\.pl [OR]     RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} ^http://drugbuyersforum\.org [OR]     RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} ^http://protopage\.com [OR]     RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} ^http://stupidvideos\.com [OR]     RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} ^https://sourceforge\.net [OR]     RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} ^http://www\.sourceforge\.net [OR]     RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} ^http://www\.thoughts\.com [OR]     RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} ^http://www\.youfreeweb\.com [OR]     RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} ^http://www\.facebook\.com\\notes\\phentermine [OR]     RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} ^http://theresaraatt\.over-blog\.com [OR]     RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} ^http://grou\.ps [OR]     RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} ^http://www\.reverbnation\.com     RewriteRule (.*) http://%{REMOTE_ADDR}/$ [R=301,L]          order allow,deny     deny from 109.227.125.     deny from 109.227.124.     allow from all      Does anyone have an idea what could be done, about all that traffic coming my way ?


title: What's the meta-tag title for?

text: While reading this question on webmasters:   Why don't websites have a "description" meta tag in the head section?, I also checked out StackExchange's source code. Indeed the 'description' meta-tag is missing, just to save a few bytes as Jeff noted in his answer to the question. I found it rather strange to see a 'title' meta-tag in there. This tag essentially duplicates the html 'Title' tag. My research didn't really turn up any reason on why this tag is there, basically just 'wasting' another few bytes. Why is this tag there? Why bother including it?

text: We use vBulletin 3 for our forums, with a ReCaptcha, a simple "To verify you're a real person, what is the FIRST letter of the English alphabet?" question on signup, and a verified email address required to post. We're also using "TypePad Antispam Beta" to automatically monitor posts for spam content. Previously this has been enough to keep us down to 1-2 spammers every month or so, but in the last week we've had a sudden explosion of 3-4 every day. :( Are there any other common plugins or solutions we could try to keep spam under control? I'd rather not turn on moderation for new user's posts, as that'll create a lot of work for us to approve them. I've checked the spamming users, and unfortunately there's no common factor (IP address, email domain etc) to identify them as spammers like I've seen in the past. They're all from different addresses, they use competent email services like gmail etc, so there's nothing trivial I can do to block them that way.

title: Defunct website taken over by spammer. How to stop them?

text: A friend of mine used to publish a small literary fiction magazine, both in print and on the web. In 2011 she announced that she was quitting, put a note on the website, and carefully unwound the subscriptions. She continued hosting the site (with all the back-issues available for free) until the beginning of this year, when she let the hosting lapse and the domain name expire. Today she discovered that some unknown person has purchased her former domain name and put up a modified version of her entire site. The design is different but all the content is the same, including all of the back-issues of the magazine (and the stories by diverse authors contained within), their cover art, news posts, and even her contact information. All the content would have been available from Archive.org, so it's no mystery how they got it. The only thing noticeably changed is a column added to the front page titled "Favorite Videos", with around 35 links to Youtube videos. The links are named things like "Video (Worry)" and "Video (Squirting)" and the videos all feature a man named Leo giving dubious advice and promoting his life-coaching website. Here's one of the suspect videos. There does not appear to be any connection between the content of the videos and my friend or her magazine. I also posted to the Security StackExchange to ask why someone would do this and what the security risks are to her. What I want to know here is, what can she do to stop them? To be clear she doesn't want the domain name back. She just doesn't want her name and copyrighted material used deceptively. Also, what (if anything) could she have done when shutting down her website to avoid this happening?


title: Which meta names are case-sensitive?

text: I am the developer of an HTML checking tool. I want to check meta names to make sure they match case-sensitively when it matters. All I've come across so far (according to Google) is that this meta name ("google-site-verification") should be case sensitive as in:               <meta name="google-site-verification" content="XXX">      That is, you would not want to use this:               <meta name="GOOGLE-SITE-verification" content="XXX">      Are there any other meta names that are case-sensitive? I'd like to check for this in my tool. UPDATE: Looks like Microsoft has many more that are case-sensitive, most of which are msapplication-*: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en- us/library/ie/dn255024.aspx


title: How to get a share of Google's search revenue?

text: Mozilla gets money from Google when somebody searches in Google through Firefox and then clicks an ad. If people search on your own website with Google, you also get a share if they click an ad in search results. But is it possible to search the web with Google from your website and still get a share just like Mozilla does?


title: What does the Chrome error code (6) in "appcache fetch failed" indicate?

text: I am developing a website that uses the html cache manifest (AppCache). I often see the following line in Chrome's console:               Application Cache Error event: Manifest fetch failed (6) https://192.168.0.102/static/index.appcache      Apparently the error code in parentheses is meant to be the HTTP status code, or `-1` if the browser is offline. But my server is not returning 6 as status code. So what does this code indicate? Chrome's behavior regarding this error is very odd. If I force it to re- download the website by removing the appcache client-side (via `chrome://appcache-internals`), this error often still occurs, but this time not preventing but interrupting an already running download; the second refresh then works fine. The problem occurs regardless of whether there is a new version of the cache manifest or not, and this makes it hard to update Chrome's appcache. The problem does not occur in IE 11. I'm using TLS with a self-signed certificate for this development stage. The HTTP response headers for the appcache manifest are ` HTTP/1.1 200 OK Accept- Ranges: bytes Cache-Control: no-cache, must-revalidate Content-Encoding: gzip Content-Type: text/cache-manifest; charset=utf-8 Expires: -1 Last-Modified: Fri, 11 Apr 2014 07:49:30 GMT Pragma: no-cache Vary: Accept-Encoding Date: Fri, 11 Apr 2014 07:51:38 GMT Content-Length: 480 `


title: vhost set up help -- domain and ip point to the same site

text: I have these virtual hosts set up however when I browse to `domain.com` or `123.45.67.89` they both point to `/var/www/html/`. How can I get them set up so they point to correct DocumentRoot?               <VirtualHost *:80>       ServerName 123.45.67.89       DocumentRoot /var/www/html/     </VirtualHost>          <VirtualHost *:80>       ServerName domain.com       DocumentRoot /var/www/vhosts/domain.com/htdocs     </VirtualHost>      **EDIT** : I actually had a seperate vhosts.conf file located in `/etc/httpd/conf.d/`. Subsequently this was being loaded (unbeknownst to me) by `Include conf.d/*.conf` before --               NameVirtualHost *:80     Listen 80      I have moved the vhosts out of that directory and into `/etc/httpd/conf/vhosts/` and amended my Include file at the bottom of `httpd.conf` to --               Include /etc/httpd/conf/vhosts/*.conf      I have also tried uncommenting `ServerName` and defining it as my servers IP and removing the first `VirtualHost`. The result of this is that `domain.com` points to the correct site though the IP points to that site now too.

title: How to test a subdomain created with cPanel when using local hosts file entry for that subdomain

text: I'm using Wordpress and Vanilla to run a site with supporting forums. WP is the in the root folder and vanilla is in the sub-folder 'forum'. This works on my local machine with the following HOSTS file entries: 127.0.0.1 dev.mydomain.com 127.0.0.1 devforum.mydomain.com I moved all the code up to a VPS and imported the DBs (including minor DB record changes necessary for WP migration). On the VPS, I have used WHM/cPanel to setup www.mydomain.com and forum.mydomain.com, where the forum software is installed in a sub-folder of the main site. I used cPanel to create the subdomain and selected the correct sub-folder (public_html/forum/). The following entries in my local HOSTS file to map the VPS's IP address as I do not want global DNS servers to point the domain at my VPS just yet. Here are my local entries: 123.123.123.123 www.mydomain.com 123.123.123.123 forum.mydomain.com Wordpress works fine on www.mydomain.com, but the subdomain is redirecting to a default website page: forum.mydomain.com/cgi-sys/defaultwebpage.cgi Any thoughts on what I should be checking? I've triple checked everything I can think of, but it's saturday night and I think the coding beers are kicking in..

title: Why does Google report a soft 404 when I redirect to the signup page?

text: In the last month, I've got an increased number of "soft 404" errors reported by Google webmaster tools which actually work well for users. Configuration (maybe useless):   * I have a website built with rails 3.1   * Authentication is handled by the gem Devise Problem:   * On this page http://en.bemyboat.com/yacht-charter/9965-sailboat-beneteau-oceanis-43   * Click on "Ask a Boat request" (a simple form, in GET to: http://en.bemyboat.com/boat_requests/new/9965)   * You are redirected with the HTTP status 302 to sign in   * You are then sent back to the new page if successfully sign in. Google tells me that the link on "ask a boat request" returns a soft 404. I can't make this form in "POST" (which will solve the problem) because we need to automatically redirect users back to the page after sign in. (the Gem Devise memorizes the "get" link.) To simplify, the question is: How to protect a private page with authentication, reached with a simple "GET" and not to be penalized by Google as a "soft 404".


title: What payment options should we provide to maximize our customer base in Europe and the Americas?

text: With an international customer base, how do other sites decide what payment options to provide to users? I've been trying to find the most popular online payment service providers, preferably broken down by country. For instance, which payment service providers process the most transactions, when users in Mexico buy goods online? Ideally, I'd like to find the same data for all countries in North America, South America, and Europe. In the U.S., possible answers might include services such as Paypal, Google Checkout, or Authorize.net. Any idea where I might be able to find that kind of data? Or is there a better way to decide? Thanks!

title: Migrating a website to a new server and content management system but keeping domain: What will happen to our Google rank?

text: We are currently in the process of launching a new website in my non-profit organisation; our old web site that has been around since the end of the 90's will be replaced by a Squarespace site. Now, our current site ranks pretty high on Google when searching for terms that we would like to be associated with. When we make the change, we will keep the same domain name but the pages will be hosted with Squarespace instead of our old web host. After the transfer, what will most likely happen to our Google ranking? Are we going to have to start from the bottom again or will some reputation carry over to our new site because the domain name still is the same?


title: How to conduct A/B split testing with AdSense?

text: Ok so I have decided to A/B test my AdSense ads. I have run a few tests, but I don't know what conclusion to draw and how to keep track of things. Some specific questions:   1. If I have 2 test units, 1 wins. I test that with a new and so on. How do I find if say the fifth one did better than the first one? How do I keep track of things?   2. Do I let the variables independent of each other, because they certainly are not. In real life, font size can affect CTR even if the colors are different.   3. I can test blue color with red color, and then test Arial font with Georgia, but how do I know which combination is the best? This would result in way too many test units. I tried Googling a lot, but I could not find answers to these questions.

title: MODX based site has been compromised, and tagged by Google as malware

text: I'm the webmaster (inherited the site from the developer) for a site called kenbrook.org. The site is currently being tagged as malware infected by Google, and gives the following details: http://www.google.com/safebrowsing/diagnostic?site=kenbrook.org Sadly, this is the second time it has occurred. I posted the issue when it happened last year originally on Stackoverflow on this post, shortly after I inherited the site. At the time the fix was a simple removal of a few lines of code from a .js file, but I never did discover or resolve the vulnerability. The site is built on MODX, which neither I, nor the original builder, have any familiarity with. I've tried to check for security updates from MODX, but updating that software has been a real pain also. Sooo...what's my next step to getting this whole issue resolved? Or steps?

title: Best practice when translating sites into multiple languages - new domains?

text: For the same website I've got 3 domains: `.fr`, `.com`, and `.co.uk`. To start with it was to avoid people buying the same name. I used have my content in French only and redirected all the traffic to the .com using 301. Now I've got all my content translated from french wonder what would be the best thing to do:   * `www.domain.fr`: French content    * `www.domain.com`: English content or keep the 301 and go for   * `www.domain.com/fr/`: French content    * `www.domain.com/en/`: English content  The obvious seems to use `.fr` for French and `.com` for English, but what's about the `co.uk`? I'm planning on get it translated into Spanish and German, using               /fr/     /en/     /es/     /de/       It will be easier and cheaper than buying more domains. I'm planning to do my change in 2 weeks and once it's done, unless I start to create long and painful rewrite rules, I will lose my Google rank.


title: URL Rewrite http to https EXCEPT files in a specific subfolder

text: I am trying to force all traffic on my web site to use HTTPS, using the URL Rewrite 2.0 module added to IIS 7.5. I got that working and now have a need to exclude a couple of pages from using SSL. So I need a rule to rewrite all URL except those referencing this folder to HTTPS. I've been banging my head against the wall on this and am hoping someone can help. I tried creating a rule to match all URL except those in a nossl subfolder as in this example:               <rule name="HTTP to HTTPS redirect" enabled="true" stopProcessing="true">       <match url="(/nossl/.*)" negate="true" />       <conditions logicalGrouping="MatchAll" trackAllCaptures="false">             <add input="{HTTPS}" pattern="off" />       </conditions>       <action type="Redirect" url="https://{HTTP_HOST}/{R:1}" redirectType="Found" />     </rule>      But this doesn't work. Can anyone help?

title: I used a 301 Permanent Redirect to a 3rd party site by mistake! Can I stop the redirection?

text: Oh Noes! I've been parking a domain name for a friend/client of mine on my hosting provider (Dreamhost, FWIW) for a while, and they eventually asked me to redirect their domain to a 3rd party website which is currently featuring some relevant promotional content. Once this period ends, we will probably go ahead and set up a proper website for the domain on my hosting account. I used Dreamhost's "redirect" hosting option in their domain configuration panel, not realizing that it would implement a 301 Permanent redirect, or what the implications were. Now it seems that for any client that has visited the site anytime recently, the 301 redirect is still cached/in effect, although I have changed the domain settings back to regular Dreamhost full site hosting. It seems that the only thing that can be done is to wait out the TTL/cache expiration for the redirect. I have no idea how long that might be, so I'm wondering if there is any good way to cache-bust the redirect or otherwise undo its long-term effects. I put a simple html meta refresh in the domain folder to replace the 301 to keep the intended functionality in place, but I'm still not able to access the domain's other content normally, even via FTP, etc. Isn't there anything I can do? Otherwise, how long does it take for a cached redirect to expire? It's gonna be a bummer if it's _really_ permanent.


title: Google indexed site's address by accident. What do I do now?

text: I was making a site for a friend of mine and he wanted to be able to see my progress as I worked on the site, so I decided to put the site on a server on my computer and enable access by a domain name registered to me. It turns out that I forgot to set up a `robots.txt` file for the site and somehow Google indexed the site. My question is: What do I do now? As I understand it, Google doesn't like duplicate content and my friend could have problems when I upload the new site to his server. Right now his current site, which only has a work in progress page, is first on Google when searching for relevant keywords and I really really don't want to damage that. Is there anything else I need to be concerned about?


title: Should I use nodindex, follow or rel canonical?

text: I have a site that lists offers, promotions from other websites. Since the offers expire rather quickly I don't save them into my database. I see no point in having a page from 2010 about 30% discount on a certain brand of shoes which isn't availabe anymore.   1. A visitor enters my website;   2. He clicks on the "shoes" category: `http://www.mysite.com/shoes/` Here he sees 20 available promotions from different online stores.   1. He clicks on a promotion and gets to a page like this: `http://www.mysite.com/shoes/promotions/prada` Questions: I use the template promotions.php and list all the promotions. /promotions/prada/ /promotions/otherbrand/ .... What I do is use "noindex, follow" for the links. Is that a good idea? Or should I use rel="canonical" for the promotion page? How do you advise me to handle this from the SEO point of view?

title: Why don't people upgrade their browsers?

text: Any web designer/developer will know that we have to make our code backwards- compatible with a number of (much) older browsers, just to cater for those that haven't updated. My question is.. why don't people update? Most new browsers will run on a wide variety of systems and it's not like they aren't advertised - I've seen numerous prompts on my travels around the web to install chrome or the latest Firefox and what not. So what excuses do people have for sticking with IE6 or older equivilents? Personally, I'm phasing out support for older browsers on a number of my sites - 'old-browser' visitors are sparse and I see it as a 'nudge' to join 2011...


title: how did Google Analytics kill my site?

text: Yesterday I created a google analytics profile for one of my sites and included the JS block in the layout template. What happened next was very strange. Within about 2 minutes, the site had become unreachable. I had been checking the AWStats page for the site when I thought to set up GA. After that had been done, I clicked on the link for 404 stats, which opens in a new tab. It churned for a long while and then showed a nearly blank page, similar to that when Firefox chokes on a badly-formatted XML page, except there was no error msg. But i was logged into the server and could see that that page has a 401 Transitional DTD. Strange! I tried viewing source but it just churned endlessly. I then tried "inspect element" and was able to see an error msg having to do with some internal Firefox lib. Unfortunately, i neglected to copy that. :-( All further attempts to load anything on the site would time out. Firebug's Net panel showed no request being made. Chrome would time out. So, I deleted the GA profile, removed the JS block, and cleared the server cache. No joy. I then removed all google cookies and disabled JS. Still nothing. No luck in any other browser. And now my client couldn't access the site. Terrific. I was able use wget while logged into another server. The retrieved page was fine, and did not contain the GA JS block. However, the two servers are on the same network. (Perhaps a clue.) The server itself was fine. Ping, traceroute looked great. I could SSH in. I tailed the access log and tried a browser request. Nothing. But i forgot to quit and a minute or so later I saw a request from someone else being logged. Later, I could see that requests had been served all day to some people. Now, 24 hours later, the site works once again, but is still unreachable by the client (who is in another city). So, does anyone have some insight into what's going on? Does this have something to do with google's CDN? I don't know very much about how GA works but what I'm seeing reminds me of DNS propagation issues. And why the initial XML error? And why the heck was the site just plain unreachable? What did google do to my site?! Sorry for the length but I wanted to cover everything.

title: mod rewrite condition !-f being violated

text: I am using Wolf CMS, which is served by PHP. I want to redirect /index.html to /index.php. I put the following in .htaccess:               <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>       RewriteEngine On       RewriteBase /            RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} ^index.html$ [NC]       RewriteRule ^index.html$ index.php [R=301,L]            # Wolf CMS rewriting       RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f       RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d       RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-l       RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?WOLFPAGE=$1 [L,QSA]     </IfModule>      This works in that index.html is rewritten as index.php, but then index.php is rewritten as index.php?WOLFPAGE=index.html, which should not occur as the WOLFPAGE rule has a condition that it should only apply if the file does not exist, as indicated by the **!-f** rewrite condition. index.php does exist, so why is it being rewritten? Why is the condition being violated? **Update** - the server version is:   * Server: **Apache/2.2.17 (Unix)**     * mod_ssl/2.2.17      * OpenSSL/0.9.8e-fips-rhel5      * mod_bwlimited/1.4      * mod_perl/2.0.4      * Perl/v5.8.8     * X-Powered-By: PHP/5.2.16 **Update2** - I have since moved the site from /test to /, and the problem is not occurring any more. Looking at .htaccess above, I had the incorrect rewrite base; hence the server could not find index.php, which matched the conditions for the WOLFPAGE rewrite.

title: Blog name and tagline only in the footer, any SEO problems?

text: I am creating a new blog, and I want to apply some new practices that come with html5. One thing I have seen is that the name of the blog and the tag line are wrapped in h2 an h3 respectively. The title of the posts on the page are wrapped in h1, as they are the most important elements on the page. I stared a discussion about that here: Is it needed to have your blog title and description in H1 and H2 Now I want to know how search engines will handle content that is placed in the footer section of the website. I want to place the name of the blog in h2, and the tag line in h2, in the footer section of the website. Will this be picked up as important content for the website, or will this be regarded as lesser content than if it were in the header section. In the header section there is already a logo image with the name of the blog, and I do not want to place any hidden content `{display:none}` on the website. **Note** On the HOME page of the wesbite the blogname and title are already in the `<title>` and meta description of the website.

Instead, in Firefox it leads to `outsidedomain.com/test.mydomain.com/testword`. Notice the lack of forward slash. It has to have a slash at the end because otherwise the script from `outsidedomain.com` doesn't work properly. **UPDATE:** I'm using `http://nyanit.com` to display a page at my blog so when a user writes `mydomain.com/testword` it leads to `http://nyanit.com/mydomain.com/testword/`. It show's all right in Chrome where the "nyanit" script is loaded only once but in Firefox displaying that "testword" page starts a redirection again so the page doesn't show but only the sript is showing multiple times. Check it out here. Try both Chrome and Firefox to see what I mean.

title: SEO and parent menu item placeholders

text: In wordpress I have several empty parent menu items which simply serve as something to click to access a dropdown sub items menu showing actual pages. I can't have these parent menu items link to a page because in mobiles they simply show the dropdown sub menu items on the first press and then collapse it again on the second press. The question is - how do Google / search engines treat empty parent menu items? I can give them a wordpress page and even SEO titles & metadata, but the actual content will never be shown. What is the best approach here? Thanks

title: How to insert homepage and current page in breadcrumbs?

text:
I'm working on breadcrumbs for a client's website, and I'm asking myself if homepage has to be in its code. I'm mostly concerned by SEO, not really for users navigation. So, is it better to do : **With link to homepage and current**
                      Accueil                  >

                      Annonces                  >

                      Categorie

                      Produit
      **Without link to homepage and current page**               Accueil >
                      Annonces                  >

                      Category
     Produit      You can try this codes with Google Structured Data Testing Tool (http://www.google.com/webmasters/tools/richsnippets) and you will see that homepage is not rendered with my first example. So, what's the best solution ? How do you do for your sites ? Thanks !

title: Are there other "approval" services for other email providers, like SenderID for Hotmail?

text: This question comes from: http://webmasters.stackexchange.com/questions/695/how-to-avoid-hotmail-live- rejections-for-legit-large-volume-emailing I never knew about this for Hotmail and I'm wondering if there are similar services for Google, Yahoo or others. I work on a few newsletter managers and I want to make sure the emails are getting to their recipients.
