title: Google analytics - drop in traffic

text: Bit of a general question here. We are in the process of converting a number of our clients from older web sites to new ones. The problem we are getting, and sorry for being so general here, is we are getting a sharp decline in traffic as reported on Google Analytics. It's not a gradual decline, it seems to hit almost as soon as the new site goes live. I've just got a few questions to see if there is something we are doing wrong: a) We are using the same analytics accounts going from old to new site. Is this a bad idea? b) The actual analytics code is integrated into the pages using a server-side include. IS this a bad idea? c) We structure our sites differently to our old site. IE. The old sites would pretty must have all the web pages in the root directory, and hyperlinks would be linked to the page files: EG.                Link      Our new sites now have a directory structure that pretty much reflects the navigation structure, and hyper links link to the pages directory instead of the actual page: EG.               New shoes      Is this a bad idea. I'm really searching for a needle in a haystack here. Would appriciate any help or advice as to why we are getting such a sharp and sudden drop in traffic. Again, so this is such a general question. Thanks in advance.

title: Is the Mailchimp API available in other languages?

text: I'm using the Mailchimp API in combination with PHP and jQuery to provide the subscribing/unsubscribing-actions on a website via Ajax. On errors with user data you get useful messages like "Invalid Email Address", "test@example.com is already subscribed to list x. Click here to update your profile." or "There is no record of "test@example.com" in the database". For sure I want to keep theses messages, but is there a way I can get them in other languages (in particular in German)? How would I achieve this? I wasn't able to find anything about in the Mailchimp docs. I wouldn't like to translate them myself...


title: Componentheading and contentpagetitle joomla

text: If have a problem with the componentheading and the contentpagetitle. I got a sectionblog for my articles. The title of the page is a componentheading. The title of the articles (intro) is a contentpagetitle. If I click on the title of a article, I can see the entire article. The title of the page is now the title of the article (contentpagetitle), and that is good. The problem is, this title now needs the same layout as the componentheading. But if I do this, the titles of the articles also get this layout in the sectionblog How can I make sure I got 2 different styles, or the contentpagetitle changes in a componentheading while looking at the full article? I you don't uderstand what I'm saying just go to http://csm.infowebpreview.be/nl/realisaties, and click on the first title 'Realisatie'. The full article opens and the title 'Realisatie' should be underlined now. Or this is also correct: if an article is the only article on a page the title should get another layout Thanks


title: RewriteRule not working for certain URLs

text: There are a few domains pointing towards the same server, and of course I need them all redirect to only one of them. Redirects work, but only for certain URLs. What works: `http://www.domain.com, http://domain.com, domain.com/index.html, domain.com/index.php, domain.com/nonExistentDirectory`, and if I click in the menu the following URLs are also redirected correctly: `domain.com/foo/bar`, `domain.com/foo/bar.html` or .php or other extension. What doesn't work: `domain.com/existentDirectory`, `domain.com/foo/bar` (if I type the URL in the address bar). If anyone will have the time and skill and will to tell me where's the mistake, I'll be deeply grateful. Here's my .htaccess file:               AddHandler x-httpd-php .html .htm          <ifModule mod_gzip.c>       mod_gzip_on Yes       mod_gzip_dechunk Yes       mod_gzip_item_include file \.(html?|txt|css|js|php|pl)$       mod_gzip_item_include handler ^cgi-script$       mod_gzip_item_include mime ^text/.*       mod_gzip_item_include mime ^application/x-javascript.*       mod_gzip_item_exclude mime ^image/.*       mod_gzip_item_exclude rspheader ^Content-Encoding:.*gzip.*     </ifModule>          <ifModule mod_expires.c>       ExpiresActive On       ExpiresDefault "access plus 1 seconds"       ExpiresByType text/html "access plus 1 seconds"       ExpiresByType image/gif "access plus 2592000 seconds"       ExpiresByType image/jpeg "access plus 2592000 seconds"       ExpiresByType image/png "access plus 2592000 seconds"       ExpiresByType text/css "access plus 2592000 seconds"       ExpiresByType text/javascript "access plus 216000 seconds"       ExpiresByType application/x-javascript "access plus 216000 seconds"     </ifModule>          <ifModule mod_headers.c>       <filesMatch "\\.(ico|pdf|flv|jpg|jpeg|png|gif|swf)$">         Header set Cache-Control "max-age=2592000, public"       </filesMatch>       <filesMatch "\\.(css)$">         Header set Cache-Control "max-age=2592000, public"       </filesMatch>       <filesMatch "\\.(js)$">         Header set Cache-Control "max-age=216000, private"       </filesMatch>       <filesMatch "\\.(xml|txt)$">         Header set Cache-Control "max-age=216000, public, must-revalidate"       </filesMatch>       <filesMatch "\\.(html|htm|php)$">         Header set Cache-Control "max-age=1, private, must-revalidate"       </filesMatch>     </ifModule>          <ifModule mod_headers.c>       Header unset ETag     </ifModule>     FileETag None          <ifModule mod_headers.c>       Header unset Last-Modified     </ifModule>          # BEGIN WordPress     <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>     RewriteEngine On     RewriteBase /          RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f          RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d          RewriteRule . /index.php [L]          </IfModule>               # END WordPress               RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^foo\.com$ [OR]     RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.foo\.com$     RewriteRule (.*) http://domain.com/$1 [R=301,L,QSA]               RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^foo1\.com$ [OR]     RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.foo1\.com$     RewriteRule (.*) http://domain.com/$1 [R=301,L,QSA]               RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^foo2\.com$ [OR]     RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.foo2\.com$     RewriteRule (.*) http://domain.com/$1 [R=301,L,QSA]               RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^foo3\.com$ [OR]     RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.foo3\.com$     RewriteRule (.*) http://domain.com/$1 [R=301,L,QSA]               RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^foo8\.com$ [OR]     RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.foo8\.com$     RewriteRule (.*) http://domain.com/$1 [R=301,L,QSA]      Thinking that the above version was overkill, I've also tried to redirect all the requests for domains different than the main on to be redirected to it like this:               RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^domain\.com$ [NC]     RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://domain.com [L,R=301]      Is it also wrong? Because it doesn't work either! P.S. @Sodved I've tried that and it doesn't help (I comment here because I can't seem to be able to comment your answer.) Removing the following piece of code didn't solve the issue either, so the problem must be somewhere else:               # BEGIN WordPress     <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>     RewriteEngine On     RewriteBase /               RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f          RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d          RewriteRule . /index.php [L]          </IfModule>               # END WordPress      New details: using this tool for checking the redirects I got the following results for the URLs that are not redirected: > Checked link: `http://domain.com/aDirectory/` > > Type of link: direct link (note the trailing slash above) and: > Checked link: `http://domain.com/aDirectory` > > Type of redirect: 301 Moved Permanently > > Redirected to: `http://domain.com/aDirectory/` (no trailing slash here) I hope/suspect I'm getting closer to the cause of this behavior.


title: How to keep track of a unique and an existing visitor

text: I am creating an app that requires to know if the visitor visiting the app is a unique visitor or an already visited visitor. I know we could persist a cookie on the visitor's computer to know identify this. What I would like to understand are the different other ways that can be used to know to keep track of unique and existing visitors? How does Google Analytics know whether it is a unique visitor or an existing visitor? Can I use browser fingerprinting (https://panopticlick.eff.org/) to know unique visitors/ existing visitors?

title: Ridiculously high price for cloud

text: I have dedicated servers for my website. Many hosting companies will charge about €30 / month for a server like this:   * CPU: i3 @3.4GHz   * RAM: 8GB   * HDD: 2x 1TB Comparing this to a cloud configuration (for example PagodaBox), if you set the RAM to as low as 1GB per instance with a single instance you get a price of 100USD / month. I don't understand why this is. I know that with a cloud you can easily scale your application, but for this price I don't think it's worth the price. Even stackoverflow has its own dedicated servers. Do you think these prices are worth the advantages of the cloud?


title: Changed an unordered list from images links to CSS background text links - uncached versions are showing broken

text: We had unordered list for social media icons that had ahrefed images. We swapped them out for text links that used CSS background images. If a user just loads the page, they'll get the old version. I thought HTTP status codes is suppose to be sent for the browser to reload using the new html and CSS images. Any ideas? Of course the user can just reload the page but at first the list will look funny.

text: I'm having a hard time figuring out what these two views show me. `Traffic Source->Sources->Search->Organic` seems to show the key word a person searched for in a search engine, like Google. What does `Traffic Source ->Search Engine Optimzation -> Queries` show? Are those search terms from within my site's search function, or are they also search terms from Google, etc.?


title: Why old (301) links stay on Google when breaking site down to multiple domains

text: ### Some background: We did have single site and single domain (let's call it `mainsite.com`) with product information, however things have changed since and product database has grown fast. So we decided to move some major products/manufacturers under their own domains (let's call one of them `subsite.com`) while still using our main database/codebase. ### What we've done: * Added `subsite.com` domain for _product 1_ by _Great Products Co._ * Some new nice looking front pages, info pages, etc.  * Detail pages that will use information from original db.  * Redirected product/group links from `mainsite.com` using 301 redirect.  * Verified that redirects works as expected.  * Waited some time for Google reindexing (over 30 days, I've heard it should be more than enough). ### Results: If I search our moved products from Google then it will found them and list them but with old links to our main page like `mainsite.com/group/product1` but it should show link to new site `subsite.com/product1`. Links from Goole redirects as they should, as said redirects are verified [301]. ### Main question: Any reasons why Google would not follow 301 redirects and update links so that they will point to our new mfg/product site `subsite.com`?


title: Plesk 11 Preview Joomla site, formatting lost

text: I have a site on server A which I am about to move to server B. The transfer is all done apart from the DNS. I now want to preview my site before I change DNS, but when I try all formatting is gone. I use the simple preview option with an URL to access the site on server B. This is a Joomla site, and I wonder if there is any special considerations to make or known problems when previewing a joomla site in Plesk? I also want to mention that i have to append 'index.php' to see the site. I am not sure wheter this is a Joomla or a Plesk problem.

I did run across this from my searches and appears to be a good start, but I want to know more.


title: Is it sufficient to secure a order status page just by a random URL?

text: After a (corporate) customer bought some items in our online shop, we send an email with an overview what he has bought to him. We'd like to inform our customer about received payments, packet tracking, etc. I would solve this by assigning each order a random ID and add a link to each mail. The link may be like this: `http://shop.foo.bar/order/rwklvc46g9wt7kvy09f1` Would you take additional measures to protect the data? Or choose a completely different solution? Advantages:   * no annyoing status updates per mail (especially if frequent updates occurs)   * single information source (never outdated)   * shareable (e.g. to his boss or colleagues) Disadvantages:   * private data exposed on publicly accessible website (e.g. phone numbers, payment details)

title: Trigger IP ban based on request of given file?

text: I run a website where "x.php" was known to have vulnerabilities. The vulnerability has been fixed and I don't have "x.php" on my site anymore. As such with major public vulnerabilities, it seems script kiddies around are running tools that hitting my site looking for "x.php" in the entire structure of the site - constantly, 24/7. This is wasted bandwidth, traffic and load that I don't really need. Is there a way to trigger a time-based (or permanent) ban to an IP address that tries to access "x.php" anywhere on my site? Perhaps I need a custom 404 PHP page that captures the fact that the request was for "x.php" and then that triggers the ban? How can I do that? Thanks! **EDIT:** I should add that part of hardening my site, I've started using ZBBlock: > This php security script is designed to detect certain behaviors detrimental > to websites, or known bad addresses attempting to access your site. It then > will send the bad robot (usually) or hacker an authentic 403 FORBIDDEN page > with a description of what the problem was. If the attacker persists, then > they will be served up a permanently reccurring 503 OVERLOAD message with a > 24 hour timeout. But ZBBlock doesn't do quite exactly what I want to do, it does help with other spam/script/hack blocking.

title: Adsense code not appearing on certain post

text: I have my adsense code in an ad widget. There is a header ad, and two ads in the side bar. For some reason the header ad appears on every single page, but the two side bar ads have magically disappeared off of a few post. 90% of my post have all ads working, however there are a few where the ads in the side bar do not show up anymore, but the header and the link unit ads within the post still show up. Any idea what the issue could be? The technical support on the adsense forums is pretty lack luster. SOLVED-- Well I found out the problem. For some odd reason Google has some serious issues with counting the ads on your post. The max is 3 display/text, and 3 link unit ads per page. I have 3 display ads on every page, and 2-3 link unit ads per page. For some reason on random post of mine Google would count a link unit ad as a display ad. Upon doing so it would remove a display ad from my side bar for every link unit ad that I included in my post. When I removed the code for the link unit ad in my post, the display ads started to reappear. This seems to be an issue with Google when reusing code for link units. I use the exact same link unit code on every page which ended up causing errors in my ad unit count. To fix the issue I created a new link unit and added the new code to the page, now all 3 display units as well as all we link unit ads appear on each page. I guess I am going to have to make a new link unit ad for every few post and Google doesnt seem to like it when I reuse the code 30 times or so.

Now I already know its possible to install the WordPress to `www.mysite.com/wordpress/` but obviously at a later date but this is not very ideal because due to the sheer number of undesirable redirects at an later stage. My question is fairly simple but may require a complex answer. Is it possible to run 2 SQL Driven sites in PHP such as Joomla and WordPress in the same Directory.. i.e `www.mysite.com/` if so how.. and if not why not! I understand this might because of the `index.php` but is there a way around this perhaps via .htaccess - Thanks in advance.


title: If Apache applies compression with mod_deflate, is there a reason to serve compressed files?

text: I have an Apache HTTP server which is configured with mod_deflate to compress content "on the fly". Is there any benefit if I serve a compressed sitemap.xml.gz file, or should I rely on mod_deflate to compress resources?


title: Knowledge required to build a book rental website

text: My friend and I are considering building a book rental website like `http://www.campusbookrentals.com/`. My question is what are the required knowledges to build such a website? I've learned HTML and CSS and made some static websites before, but I know nothing about PHP or databases. Do you think I should build the website step by step by myself, or it's possible to achieve book rental functions by using CMS? Any suggestions?


title: How would you connect 2 mailing lists?

text: A friend of mine and I have two mailinglists (one on google groups, one on yahoogroups) concerning a similar topic. It would be convenient to connect those mailing lists, so that every message is sent to both lists. However, we want to avoid "loops" (a message that is sent to every list more than once). As both lists have a high "identification potential" simply copying all users to the other list is not an option.


title: Should I use a 404 or a 403 error for secure content

text: I have a set of content in my web app that should only be visible if you are logged in. They have not public equivalent, should never be crawled, or otherwise known outside of logged in users of specific security levels. I come from the network security world so my first instinct is to "cloak the port" to steal a Steve Gibson line, return a 404 indicating there is nothing there, nor should you expect anything to be there. In the custom 404 page I may include some text advising you to log in if you are not already. Is this bad practice? Do I gain anything from using the 403 and hanging a sign on my tools that "There is something here, dare you access it". Edit: Also, I am not using .htaccess to manage folder level permissions. I am using session tracking and Oath to manage logins, so the browser is never used to ask for a login, a web form is. Each script compares against a permission list associated with the currently logged in user. So I should be using 403 not a 401 error.


title: Internal links for a website

text: I heard I have to keep internal links with relevant anchor texts on a website to just a few because too many internal links might "confuse" the bots. So generally I have to build DOfollow internal links just to DOindex pages. This way (at least in my case) I can keep internal links as few as possible. But what about from visitors aspect, I cannot tell them something like "Go there and find something there" or "check navigation menu, click on some X subject and you will see it there" because this might result in an exit of websites so I would have to build internal links with good and clearly understandable anchor texts for visitors also. Is is OK if I put on that kind of internal links NOfollow attribute so I still meet this requirements about having "as few as possible" dofollow internal links (pointing to DOindex pages)?


title: How secure is a static CAPTCHA?

text: I have seen some webmasters using a CAPTCHA that doesn't change at all. And many of them use JavaScript to validate these value. For example:               if(captchaCode != "4ERJZ")      Since most of the web browsers have a inspect element or such feature how secure is using this type of CAPTCHAs?


title: Amazon Cloudfront Node detection

text: I have been using Amazon Cloudfront to server up media/js/css files stored in Amazon S3 for a website that is accessed internationally. I want to find out if Cloudfront is using the nearest node from the point of origin of the web page request. So for example is someone from Hong Kong is requesting my website's home page, the static files like media/js/css are getting served up from the node in Singapore. How can I figure this out other than renting server space on EC2 in Hong Kong and pinging the resource from there?


title: SEO penalization after 301 redirect

text: A client asked to re-do his website entirely. After I finished, I uploaded the new website into a folder of the old one, so the new one is in `www.oldwebsite.com/new/`. The old has few pages, static content and nothing more. The new one has the same content plus additional pages, in terms of weight, it's 5 times bigger. The problem is that the old website has a very good SEO and when I search it on Google it displays on the first page of results. At this point I was thinking to not delete the old website and leave the structure as it is now, `www.oldsite.com/new/` and just redirect all traffic to the new one. My main concern is that this way I may lose Google ranking and be penalized, so when I search it on Google it won't display anymore in the first page of results. Being a beginner with SEO I don't know if this is legit and if not how to handle this situation, so I ask you what would you suggest me to do? Can I leave it this way and not being penalized?


title: What's the double semicolon (::) for in PHP?

text: I'm working with NetSuite's PHP toolkit and i get the error T_PAAMAYIM_NEKUDOTAYIM from this line               $classname = get_class($object);     $typesmap = $classname::$paramtypesmap;  <---      I just want to know what's the '::' for, since is from there that i've seen the error is coming from. All my dev work is on hold for this error and it has been almost a week. My guess, it takes the value from $paramtypesmap to $typesmap depending the class name, which may seem kind of obvious, but the point is that i've never seen the '::' been used before.


title: what should I do if I cannot find a person who asks to unsubscribe in my mailing list?

text: One of our customers asks us to send out marketing mail. We manage their subscriber list in Microsoft Dynamics CRM and use a remote desktop tool to send the mails through their network via the Sendgrid SMTP server. When they receive unsubscribe requests after another mass mailing, they pass this along to us and we manually deactivate the relevant contacts in CRM. The unsubsribe link happens through a reply mail with the subject "unsubscribe". With a recent unsubscribe wave, we found that about a dozen of the email addresses that sent such a reply, we could not find in our system, neither when searching for the first name, the last name, the email address, the domain nor parts of any of these. This isn't just "they're in there, but with a slightly different email address", because we found and deactivated a number of those through searching for the names. This is a case of "Either they're not in the system, or they're in the system with completely different credentials." Obviously the method we're using for unsubscription is flawed and we're currently investigating alternative methods of managing the mailing list, but the problem is that those email addresses asked to be unsubscribed, but we are unable to unsubscribe them because we cannot find their registered address. If we do not unsubscribe them, we run the risk of blacklists and complaints about spam, which will affect the reach of the mailing, our reputation and our client's reputation. How should this situation be handled?


title: What is the best WordPress permalink structure for a website with daily new posts and updates?

text: I have a WordPress website where users contribute a lot of posts and comments. I am now using `/date/post-name` as the permalink structure, but I've read and heard that it's better to use just the `post-name`, and I wanted it confirmed here. The problem is that my website's posts are updated daily, so I can't decide which structure is better. Beside that, using only post-name seems to slow the website, which is also bad for SEO. Can someone help me please?


title: Which domain do I need to whitelist as an HTTP referrer for Google+?

text: I am using MaxCDN for my website, and to prevent hotlinking, I only allow my website's pictures to be displayed on whitelisted HTTP referrers, through MaxCDN's security settings. However, even though I have added every kind of Google domain I could find, my post's pictures won't show up in new Google+ Posts. ![Google+ no Image](http://i.stack.imgur.com/0OIZQ.png) These are the domains I have whitelisted so far:               *.googleusercontent.com     *.google.com     *.googleapis.com     *.gstatic.com     *.googlegroups.com     *.ggpht.com      Which server am I missing?


title: Is there a standard way to mark web content obsolete?

text: I was just listening to someone talk about how the older content is the more relevant it is seen by search engines even if it is obsolete info. But it seems in many cases it is good to leave content in place for historical\reference reasons. Is there a standard way (tag, meta-tag, http response code) to mark up a page as obsolete? Or at least is there a standard way to tell the search engines that the pages are less relevant. To be absolutely clear, I am not asking how to make the pages unavailable (for which there are clear HTTP status codes), but rather how to acknowledge that they may no longer be relevant except for historically.

title: Affect on SEO if share buttons appear before content

text: I love the way Mashable has big aggregated share counters and share buttons at the top of each article, I think it encourages sharing of articles and it looks nice. I recently added something similar to all my posts, is this a good thing putting share button images straight after the title of a page? I know it is good practice to have some good content that reflects the title for SEO reasons, etc... So is having a few share button images straight after the title likely to be good or have a negative effect on SEO?


title: Does Googlebot share geo-location information to better crawl geo-aware websites?

text: I'm developing a website that allows users to share their location via JavaScript. Based on that location, either the content of the current page will change, or it will redirect a user to a page with content relevant to their location. For users that don't share, I'll present relevant content that I would expect to also get indexed by search bots. Since it is fairly well known that Google's crawlers do process JavaScript, is there any evidence to suggest that Googlebot shares geo-location information? I ask mainly because I'm wondering what the impact would be on my site's ability to be indexed correctly.


title: Analytics: CloudFlare vs Google - What discrepancy is too big?

text: Been using CloudFlare for one of our sites for about a week now, and CloudFlare reports 450% more real visitor page views than Google Analytics (so that's not bots or blocked threats). I understand that there will be discrepancy because CloudFlare is measuring all page requests, Google Analytics is firing off a JavaScript request once the page has downloaded, so I was prepared for a 20-30%, maybe 50% difference, but 450%? Seems like there is a problem somewhere. I have used the Google Analytics debugger for chrome and everything seems to work fine. The GA code is in the head so should be fired quite promptly. Is such a big gap normal? If so, why, and if not, what on earth is causing it? **updated** Sorry, I don't think I was clear, I understood the differences between the CF and GA stats before I started with CF, and expected them to be different. It is the size of the difference that is concerning. CF clearly separates bots & crawlers from regular visitors, so the figure I am comparing with GA is just the regular visitors; so the difference says that **only 1 in 5 of visitors trigger Google Analytics**?               "your CloudFlare visitor number is most likely higher"      Doesn't do it justice!


title: Possible click fraud?

text: So I'm getting hundreds of hits (per month) across multiple separate domains, all originating from one city with 100% bounce rate and 0:00 time spent on the site. I know hundreds of clicks per month isn't that much; is it just some web crawler that Google Analytics isn't identifying?

title: Is webpage schema or article schema correct for in-depth guides?

text: I want to apply structured data to my website and I'm trying to decide which schema I should use for an indepth guides on particular topics. For example:   * An in-depth guide on how to find accommodation in a particular country   * An in-depth guide on taxes for a particular country.   * An in-depth guide on how to find a job for a specific role The guides tend to be long, often 2,000 words plus in the case of the tax ones. The two main options would seem to be leaving it with the default **Webpage Schema** and using the default tags passed down from creative work or using the **Article Schema**. I was leaning towards article but schema.org defines an article as: _An article, such as a news article or piece of investigative report. Newspapers and magazines have articles of many different types and this is intended to cover them all._ It's definitely not a news article or an investigative report. What are peoples opinions? Would you expect the article schema to cover in- depth guides?


title: Why is this date in my sitemap "invalid" according to Google

text: My XML sitemap file has `<lastmod>2013-07-06T09:39:51-0400</lastmod>` formatted with W3C Datetime Format. Google has a warning message in webmaster tools about this for me: ![enter image description here](http://i.stack.imgur.com/lmcYi.png) Google's help document about error sitemap errors states: > This could be because a date is in the incorrect format, or the date itself > is not valid. Dates must use W3C Datetime encoding, although you can omit > the time portion if you wish. For example: > >   * 2005-02-21 >   * 2005-02-21T18:00:15+00:00 >


title: Can you set custom DNS for a file/directory trailing the TLD of a domain (e.g. domain.com/robots.txt)?

text: I'm in a situation where I'm looking to set a different DNS record for a certain file on a domain, (specifically `www.domain.com/robots.txt`), from the root (`www.domain.com`). (The situation is that I've set the web root to point to a non-live record so the website appears to be non-existent but still has mx records to allow email - but I've now realised I actually need robots.txt to be live and accessible for crawlers such as archive.org so that they respect my site's wishes to not show past snapshots of the site.) Is it possible to do this it in DNS (like some sort of 'TXT' record?), or is there no way to differentiate the DNS of anything trailing `.com`, from what's already been set for `www.domain.com`? The issue is that I really need the web root to solidly appear like a non- existent site, as discussed in my earlier above-linked question. It can't be a 'fake' non-existent page, but an actual one. Perhaps those two things are simply incompatible?


title: How to make mod_rewrite work transparently?

title: Pass Google Juice to another domain without a 301 redirect

text: Is there a way to move juice from one domain to another (either the whole domain or page-by-page)? I was thinking on adding a `rel="canonical"` on every page on the old domain linking to the new one, but will that pass the juice? The main purpose is to keep the two domains alive so users can still visit the old domain (and allow them to go to the new one manually) instead of forcing a 301 redirect, at least during a few months before turning the old one down. Related: Passing link juice through canonical link (it is 2 years old though)

title: PHP 5.3.8 does not active mysql extensions

title: Why don't my Google Analytics traffic statistics match my webserver logs?

text: For a couple of months I've got a Wordpress website (http://www.tricky- design.com) online. I was curious how many visitor do visit my website therefore I'd setup a statistics counter Statpress (plugin wordpress). After a while I came across Google analytics an thought, why not use this one instead, so I've installed it too. My hosting provider also does offer me limited statistics but the strange thing is that the results of the three different counter over the same time span aren't the same. I've placed the results in the table below.               -------------------------------------     | DECEMBER 2011                     |     -------------------------------------     | Source    | Hits | Pages | Unique |     -------------------------------------     | Hosting:  | 5903 |   751 |   1087 |     | Google:   |  263 |   145 |    132 |     | Statpress:|  858 |   291 |    ??? |     ------------------------------------- As you can see the differences are big. Does anyone know how this is possible? I don't know which one of the 3 I can trust or is at least close to the actual numbers.


title: Strategy for image sizes

text: I run a site that has a lot of writers that generate quite a few articles a day. I require them to provide two image sizes (one for the big headline image and one as the thumbnail). I've been wanting to change up the site layout a bit, but I am becoming limited by the image sizes for the posts. I have considered just cropping images, but they still need to look nice, and cropping doesn't always generate what I'd want. I'd prefer to just scale down by percentage (as I do with thumbnails). Should I just make the writers provide more images? How do other sites handle this?

We are now planning to allow users who are logged out to see parts of profile pages. We are doing this for SEO and to gain search traffic. The logged out view shows some parts of a profile as one would see if they were logged in, and other parts are blurred out. We blurred them using CSS, and so that a visitor cannot view the text in the page source we also jumbled up the words. Search engines will see this jumbled up text. Is this bad for SEO? Should we scrap the jumbled up text idea and come up with a different solution? Thank you!


title: Redirecting one page to HTTPS, and all others back to HTTP isn't working as expected

text: I have WordPress 3.5.1 installed on Ubuntu 12.04 LTS. I'm running Apache 2.2.22. **NOTE:** I can't share the domain that I'm working on, and must santize any config files. While the website is public, any problems I'm working on in connection to the client cannot be public. The domain has two vhosts, one for HTTP and one for HTTPS, and both share the same document root. I have rewrite rules in the `<directory>` directive for each vhost rather than in an `.hataccess` file (just a preference, but the same behavior is seen when using an `.htaccess` file). I want all access to the `/order/` page to be over HTTPS. I want all other URLs to be only delivered over HTTP. Why? Because the site is littered with social media buttons and external libraries, some of which are not over HTTPS. Here's where things break down:   1. User hits site over HTTP.   2. User clicks the order page and gets HTTPS URL. (No non-https URLs are loaded on that page, I've made sure of this.)   3. User clicks a non `/order/` URL   4. The new URL is still HTTPS.   5. Browser security warnings pop up all over concerning the loading of "insecure" content on a secure site. So far, I have the HTTP vhost configured to redirect people to the HTTPS order page:                   <Directory /var/www/mysite.com/htdocs>                 # Rewrite Rules                 RewriteEngine On                      # Rewrite access to order page over to HTTPS                 RewriteCond %{HTTPS} =off                 RewriteRule ^order/$ https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [R=301,L]                      # Wordpress Magicks Below                                 RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]                      RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f                 RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d                 RewriteRule . /index.php [L]         </Directory>      When the above HTTP vhost's directive is in place, things work great, except for all subsequent browsing after accessing the `/order/` page being HTTPS (insecure warnings everywhere!). However, things fail when I try to write non `/order/` links from HTTPS to HTTP. In the SSL enabled vhost's `<Directory>` directive, I have the following rule set:                   # SSL vhost:         <Directory /var/www/mysite.com/htdocs>                 # Rewrite Rules                 RewriteEngine On                      # Remove HTTPS from non /order/ URLs                 RewriteCond %{HTTPS} =on                 RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^order/$                 RewriteRule (.*) http://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [R=301,L]                      # Wordpress Magicks Below                 RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]                      RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f                 RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d                 RewriteRule . /index.php [L]         </Directory>      However, any access to the `/order/` page itself, wether HTTP or HTTPS, results in a redirect loop. Encouragingly, incoming links over HTTPS to non `/order/` pages get redirected to their http:// equivalents, which is good! I'm still in larval stage with mod_rewrite logic, but can't seem to spot the error in my attempts. Can anyone help spot what I'm doing wrong? ## EDIT: Added some log files I turned on `RewriteLogLevel 9` for both vhosts and this is what I see under different circumstances. Incoming HTTPS URL to a non `/order/` page works great as per the `RewriteLog` for the SSL vhost:               68.231.66.6 - - [06/Jun/2013:15:02:35 --0700] [mysite.com/sid#7f67ac3e5020][rid#7f67b213c0a0/initial] (3) [perdir /var/www/mysite.com/htdocs/] applying pattern '.*' to uri ''     68.231.66.6 -

title: Lost website rankings as a result of using a 302 redirect instead of a 301

text: I have an online store and during the last 2 days I noticed a big change in its SERPS for some keywords. The site is indexed in local Google for 5 keywords, and the online store is based on Magento 1.7. 5 days ago, I set up an SSL certificate in the online store in order to get better ranking results. I setup the SSL and followed the instructions from the Magento to make permanent `301` redirects from the HTTP URLs to the HTTPS URLs. I replaced all the URLs of the online store with HTTPS. When I saw in the SERPS that the rankings for some keywords were going up and down, I checked some URLs to see if all was going well with `301` redirects and found that the redirects where `302` and not `301`, which is a big bug caused by Magento. I solved the problem with the _.htaccess_ , but still the rankings for the homepage have disappeared. I fetched the site again using Google Webmaster Tools and am waiting to see. Can you please advise if I did something wrong, and what else I could do?

title: Upgraded to new Google Admob, now cannot resubmit Google Adsense application

text: I tried to apply for a google adsense account some time ago, but it was rejected due to some policy issues. Then I started using Legacy Admob account for the same email id. It was working fine. But now Google has deprecated the Legacy Admob so I upgraded to the new Google Admob.   1. But now I want to resubmit my application for Adsense but whenever I go to the link https://www.google.com/adsense/ it takes to my homepage, where it shows older message that My account was not approved. It does not show the option to resubmit the application.   2. Second way it shows to go to My Ads tab and then Under “Add AdSense for content", click Apply now. Complete the AdSense application form, then click Submit my application." But I cannot see Submit My Application or Add Adsense for content option in my My Ads Tab. What should I do?


title: GeoTrust SSL brand name used by re-sellers

text: I feel like a I got the bait-and-switch from my web host provider since they advertise "GeoTrust SSL" for $99. I purchased it, thinking the certificate is issued from geotrust.com, but then I get an email from Comodo saying they are providing it. My host provider says they get a discount by using Comodo. I purchased the certificate with the understanding it would be issued by GeoTrust. I called the host provider and they said they usually expect it from GeoTrust, but someone from email support responded saying the product name is "GeoTrust SSL" but they use Comodo to get a discount. I think this is bogus and unfair trade practice. However, searching for "GeoTrust" on google brings up a ton of websites selling "GeoTrust" certificates. How can companies get away with this? Since the host provider is part of BBB I plan to inform my host to update the purchase page on their website to state clearly that... "This certicate is provided at a discount and may be issued by a provider other than GeoTrust.com, such as Comodo.com" Any feedback on this is appreciated.


title: What qualifies as a REST web service?

text: A year ago i developed an iOS application that was connecting to a server with HTTP requests exchanging JSON files, etc... I was told at that time that the server was a web (REST) service. I didnt care much since for me it was just a black box. Recently, I've been developing a hybrid mobile application where i use native code + jQuery mobile for the front-end part and PHP + MySQL for the back-end part. The application is for registering new users to the database, having users to subscribe in various kinds of events, get notifications on them, etc... So for all the communication between the front-end (client) and back-end (server), I make HTTP requests (POST) and Ajax calls using JSON files. For example, if I have a subscribe button and is clicked, I make an Ajax POST request sending in the body a JSON file with all the information needed, like user ID and categories to subscribe, to a PHP script. The PHP script then makes all the necessary actions in the database. Is this a RESTful Web Service? I am a bit confused on the definition of REST. According to Wikipedia REST is: > REST-style architectures conventionally consist of clients and servers. > Clients initiate requests to servers; servers process requests and return > appropriate responses. So is what I am building a RESTful Web Service? Also do we call REST only the server part or in general the client-server architecture? From other questions I read that a non-REST web service would manage a database like:               /user_create     /user?id=xxx     /user_edit?id=xxx     /user_delete?id=xxx      and a REST web service would just "expose an API with a single base resource":               /user     /user/xxx      I'm really having difficulty understanding what these things mean... Could someone try to explain to me when a service is a REST web service, maybe by giving me an example of what it is and what it is not?


title: Do large number of internal broken links affect SEO?

text: We've a WordPress blog and had disqus plugin in stalled for several months. Around late August this year, the plugin created a ton of URLs that linked to non-existent location on our website. For example - Correct URL: domain.com/correct-URL/ Disqus created -   1. domain.com/correct-URL/344322/ -> Throws 404   2. domain.com/correct-URL/433466/ -> Throws 404 So essentially, Google found a LARGE number of broken links that pointed to unknown locations on our own domain. As the count of those errors (404) rose, our site suffered massive drop in traffic and crawl rate dropped to 10% of what it was earlier. I wish to know -   1. Can large number of (we've over 99k of them) internal broken links cause rankings to drop?   2. I've fixed the issue in one go by creating 301 redirects for each bad URL to correct URL and removing disqus. Google however drops the count by ~1000 daily, as I mark errors as 'fixed' in Google Webmaster Tools. Is there any way to speed this up?   3. Should I setup custom crawl rate to 'Fast' in GWT to make Google crawl our website faster? I'd appreciate your inputs and experience sharing.


title: Will multilingual content on same page works to avoid content duplication

text: We have a website, which is having old/new vehicle deals for purchase. We are getting these data from third party website (legally) and all the pages are in English language. So, Here our issue is content duplication. The data of our web pages are already there on many pages (from where we are getting), before we published them. So somehow to distinguish the content, we planned to put vehicle description (Around 1 paragraph of 3-4 lines) in French on every page. Our sole purpose to avoid content duplication as Google gives important & good ranking to unique content pages. With this approach, will Google identify that our content is some what different ? I can provide more details if required.


title: Looking for open-source solutions for a knowledge sharing website

text: There is a need in my workplace to setup a knowledge sharing site, a place where users   * can discuss projects they are working   * share documentation   * ask questions I am looking for a open-source system that answers these needs, and that can be setup in a week, and requires only PHP and MySQL. I am a Wordpress fan and developer and could easily implement such a system in Wordpress, however this system needs to be very simple to use for the technically challenged. Without customization, Wordpress users would still need to login to the "back-end" to post. I like the Stackexchange (OSQA) format, but these do not allow for file uploading out of the box. I do not have experience with Buddy Press, would this be an alternative?


title: On-Site Factors that Affect CPC

text: I have a few websites on various niche topics, all running Adsense. The most promising one currently has a CPC that hovers around $1; the rest have CPCs of $0.25-$0.50. I'm curious to know **what on-site factors affect CPC.** That is to say, what I can do, legally (in white-hat compliance) to increase my CPC? Some factors that affect CPC but are _not_ within my control (and therefore, beyond the scope of my question -- they're just examples) include:   * What advertisers are paying for keywords on my site   * What pages people are landing on   * etc.

title: IP address not pointing to domain name I expect it to

text: I am administering this site: http://www.epicperks.com. As per GoDaddy's control panel as well as this service, the IP address pointing to http://www.epicperks.com is `50.63.210.1`. However, when I visit the two address (one domain name, one IP), I see completely different results. The domain name shows the website as I intend it to be but the IP address shows `pageok` message. What is going on here?

title: Beginning a Personal Web Site

text: I want to build my own personal website. Nothing very fancy, about 5-6 pages with a blog, about page,a page for my pictures and a few more pages of content mostly about what I am interested in ( programming, photography,family stuff etc). I feel CMS System is overkill for what I am attempting to do....but not too sure. I am quite familiar with ASP.Net and C#, so I was thinking I can crack open visual web developer express and do the site with that from scratch.   * is that an approach that is recommended ( maybe a few years down the line I might be regretting not using a CMS system to start with ).   * What sites can you point a beginner web site developer to learn about the various things required for building a web site ( i don't mean technical things like HTML/CSS etc, but all the other planning stuff/design stuff/SEO stuff )   * I don;t think i will need a Database to start with, but how far can i go without one ? Thanks in advance for your valuable inputs.

Do they get deleted as well ? If the answer is yes then how can I guaranty that they don't get deleted every time I deploy new code ? I appreciate your answer.


title: tracking past and current 301 pages in analytics?

text: we recently revamped about 90 pages on our website. MAJOR changes to increase conversions and user retention. We also redirected the pages to better SEF urls. Well, in google analytics, since the switch, and since the URL has changed.... I have two different sets of data based on the page and am not able to do comparisons on the time on page, bounce rate, exit etc etc. Anybody have any thoughts on this or could point me in the right direction?

title: How can I optimize a business site to rank well in local search for multiple cities?

text: I live in an area where there are two cities of 60-90k people adjacent to each other. Due to Google's apparent emphasis on physical location of a business when it comes to SERPs for local queries, it can be difficult for a business to rank for searches which include the neighboring city's name (going both ways, although it seems that searches including one of the city's names are quite a bit more common than the other). How can a business effectively rank well for queries including either city name, when said business operates in both cities but only has an office in one location?


title: Website attack form submission triggering emails related questions

text: We are experiencing website attacks that trigger the submission of a form, and send alert emails. Normal process of form submission is to fill up a couple of text fields, and when the user is redirected, the next page processes `$_POST`. If `$_POST` exists, then the email to intended form recipients is triggered. What is happening right now, we are receiving the email of the form submission, three emails at a time with same information. The information per email is the same, but not all of the spam emails contain the same information, each batch of triggered emails has unique information. The form has no captcha, and if possible we would like to keep it this way. The website has worked fine and had no spamming problems until today. We have monitoring software for the website, but whoever is submitting this form over and over is not being recorded by the tracking software WHY IS THIS? IS THE PERSON ACTUALLY VISITING THE WEBSITE? The only suspicious visit tracked was on November 10th, and this record ALSO shows three forms submitted (this is how I identified possible first visit by attacker). Then no incidents until today. WHAT IS THE GOAL of the spam attack? Is the attacker expecting us to respond to the bogus emails? What can they achieve with repeated submission of form Why are three emails triggered in the row? Is this indicative that they may be using a script? This is a PHP website. Is there a way for a client to view the PHP code of a page?


title: See how one goal leads to another (i.e., how often downloading the demo leads to purchasing)

text: I have two goals set up for my site in Google Analytics: one to download the demo of my software, and the other to buy the full version. I'm having trouble getting statistics on how often the download leads to a purchase. This seems like something the multi-channel funnel is perfect for (as in this question)---I expect that it takes multiple visits for the demo download to convert into an order. However, I can't seem to narrow down the multi-channel funnel data into only those that have one goal followed by another. If it matters, I'm tracking the ordering action as a page view (i.e., someone views the "Thanks for ordering" page) and the demo download as an action (which fires when someone clicks the "download" button). **EDIT** : I have a funnel set up for this (which has the demo download as a required first step, followed by the steps in the multi-page purchasing funnel). However, as far as I can tell, this does not display what I want, since I expect the purchasing step to occur on a separate visit. Am I wrong about that?


Why would URLs submitted in Google Webmaster Tools drop to 0? It's a small site, only like 20 pages, I submitted the XML sitemap and for about a week it said 20 URLs submitted. A day or so ago it indexed about 17 of the pages, but today when looking it not only says that 0 are indexed but also 0 have been submitted. I did a site search on Google and found clearly that pages are indexed, is this just an error on Google Webmaster Tools?


title: How to include canceled Adwords account user credential to invited account?

text: I need share my AdWords account with another user therefore, as AdWords usual way I send him an invitation. From his end he cannot activate the AdWords shared account with his current Google credentials. When he does following error message is displaying "A Google Account can only have access to one AdWords account. The Google Account `xxxx@gmail.com` already has access to an AdWords account. " I understand the above error meant but he claimed to say that he already cancelled his AdWords account which mean no longer exist. As a solution he can create new user login info only to access AdWords account but since he's going to be feature administrator of our AdWords account he's hesitating use that option. So anyone could anyone help me on this?


title: http requests, using sprites and file sizes -

text: Hi all I'm in the process of finding out all about sprites and how they can speed up your pages. So I've used spriteMe to create a overall sprite image which is 130kb, this is made up of 14 images with a combined total size of about 65kb So is it better to have one http request and a file size of 130kb or 14 requests for a total of 65kb? Also there is a detailed image which has been put into the spite which caused it's size to go up by about 60kb odd, this used to be a seperate jpg image which was only 30kb. Would I be better off having it seperate and suffering the additional request?


title: A lot of 408 errors in apache logs - how to prevent them?

text: I see a lot of 408 errors in my apache2 logs. I increased RequestReadTimeout and KeepAliveTimout but errors are still there. The errors look like this:               xx.xx.xx.xx - - [05/Dec/2012:19:33:56 +0100] "-" 408 4561 "-" "-"     xx.xx.xx.xx - - [05/Dec/2012:19:33:56 +0100] "-" 408 4561 "-" "-"      I heard that these errors are related to Chrome optimization and some users did reported our site returning 408 internal error. It is interesting that we get two 408 error from same IP in sequence then it that IP start working.
