title: page rank 0 penalty

text: I have a wordpress blog and a www-website on the same domain for about one year. Together it is about 170 pages. The page rank is still 0. I understand that page rank 0 is a penalty for duplicate content. The pages are indexed in google but still no page rank. In google webmaster tools there is no indication for any problem. I asked for reconsideration of both blog and website a month ago. Google accepted the reconsideration but it did not change anything. Other pages of similar size and similar audience earn PR 4-6. Is there something I can do in order to get a fair page rank? A coworker told me that it might be the case that a link farm is using the content and I can do nothing about it. Is there a reliable way to check for something like that? I do not like to give up so quickly is there a chance to fix this by for example moving to another domain?


title: #! in URL: Is there any merit to using the shebang (#!) in URL if there is no AJAX-loaded content, but otherwise dynamic page generation?

text: Is there any reason, possibly SEO related, to using the shebang (aka "hashbang") in rewritten URLs on a dynamic site, but one that does not use AJAX?

title: Why do bots search for / fill and send contact forms?

text: I'm a bit confused as to why people make bots to do this - is it to find vulnerabilities? I recently upgraded my contact form security with more client and server side validation, including a honeypot and log/ban to stop erroneous submissions on my contact forms. While this cured the issue quick fast and in a hurry, I'm still not 100% sure **why** this even happens. **continued** Most of the submissions were gibberish, _however_ , I did recently have an email hijacked and a malicious script tried to send thousands (almost 6,000) spam emails in just a few minutes. I think a weak password was the cause and I'm not convinced they're related, but the possibility looms in my mind. _Thankfully, my server has a threshold of 500 emails per hour and cut it 5,500 short._

title: Redirection 302 during DNS update

text: I will migrate my website from server A to server B. During the DNS propagation, the users arriving on server A will be 302 redirected (rewrite rule in Apache) to a temporary alias on server B. Example: A (http://www.mywebsite.com) -> B (http://mywebsite.com.myhoster.com) When their DNS is updated, they will go to server B (www.mywebsite.com). After a few days, we will stop server A and remove the alias on server B. Is it a good practice (SEO and technically)? Or do you have an other idee? **Note:** The TTL of the DNS record has been set to 300 to speed the DNS switch.


title: VPS DNS Records Multiple Domains

text: I am very new to using a VPS (two days old) and have a limited understanding of hosting in general, so sorry if this is a very simple or ill-explained question. I just purchased a VPS with plesk installed and am in the process of pointing my domains to the new server. The server has the following nameservers: ns1.mydomain.com (123.123.123.123) <- fake ns2.mydomain.com (123.123.123.124) <- fake What I don't understand is now that I have pointed my domain to ns1.mydomain.com and ns2.mydomain.com how would I point another domain of mine to that server? I have setup a domain in my plesk control panel, does this happen automatically? For example, if I setup "anotherdomain.com" in the cp, can I just point "anotherdomain.com" to ns1.mydomain.com and it will work? Help!


title: "No Cache Directory specified." - How do I solve this?

text: I'm working with a website running Joomla 1.5. Right now I'm trying to update some articles and just recently when I tried to upload an image file (via the JCE editor extension) this error message came up: > _"No Cache Directory sepcified. The cache directory specified in the > parameters does not exist and could not be created, or is not writeable. > Please create this directory manually or make it writeable. Until then, > thumbnails, resizing and rotaing are disabled."_ Now the whole page the article is on seems to not load a bunch of the images and other style information it contains. It's mostly text on a white background. Please help me find out how to solve this, I think it's a problem with JCE but I have no idea where this Cache Directory is supposed to be found, or where I can change the parameters (already checked in backend and can't find anything).


title: Canonical created by WordPress SEO plugin by Yoast

text: On a WordPress website, WordPress SEO plugin by Yoast creates this weird canonical link. Basically the website name is `www.test.com` and when I inspect the webpage at `www.test.com` it shows me this link:               <link rel="canonical" href="http://www.test.com/">      This looks completely wrong to me, because canonical should be the same content on different URL but the URL is the same!

So it's browser related, and doesn't have nothing to do with MPD itself.


title: Google Authorship: can I display:none for link to profile?

text: I'd like to have my 'mugshot' in Google's SERPs but I couldn't care less about Google+. I don't really want to link my website to Google+ either. Can I use CSS `display:none;` on the link leading to my profile and still have authorship, which looks like `<a href='https://plus.google.com/111823012258578917399?rel=author' rel='nofollow'>Google</a>`? Will the `nofollow` attribute here spoil things? I don't want to lose 'link juice' on Google+ if I don't have to. Now Google _should_ crawl only the HTML but I'm sure they'll figure out the link is not visible (perhaps it's technically even cloaking. Does anybody have experience with this situation? And do I really have to become (reasonably) active on Google+ in order for authorship to show? This answer suggests I do but I didn't read anything on that in Google's guidelines.

title: What happens when a temporary self-signed SSL certificate is replaced with a trusted certificate?

text: My website is in beta stage. I am using a temporary self-signed SSL certificate with a short expiry date. Beta users have to add the exception on their browser to access HTTPS on my website. Subsequently, I will be replacing the certificate with a trusted one from a Certificate Authority. Upon replacement of the self-signed certificate with a trusted certificate, do these beta users need to do anything to access my site on HTTPS, such as deleting the self-signed certificate on their browser manually?


title: Page Load Time - "Waiting on..." taking ages. What part of page request process is hung?

text: I have a new cluster site running on Magento that's on a development server that is made up of 2 x web servers and 1 x database server. I have optimized the site in all areas I know (gzip, increasing php memory limits, increasing database memory limits etc) but sometimes the page loading gets stuck on 'waiting for xxx.xx.xx.xxx' (Chrome and other broswers, chrome just shows it that way). It can sit there for 40 + seconds, sometimes it just never loads and I close it in frustration. What part of the page loading process is this hung at? Is it a server issue, database issue, platform issue? I need to know where to start or whether to push the hosting provider about it.


title: Google Webmaster tools, hide domain url without hiding its childs

text: I have a domain foo.imap.cc and i created a website under foo.imap.cc/website/. I would like to hide foo.imap.cc from google indexing with out removing foo.imap.cc/website/ I tried stuff like google robots, but google is not detecting my robots file. I also noticed that if I remove the url foo.imap.cc with the url removing tool from webmaster tools all its childs are removed. For the moment my solution is to redirect the url foo.imap.cc to foo.imap.cc/website/ but I don't really like this solution because I'm having some problems with the indexing title.

title: Two different domains as one user session in Google Analytics

text: I have two websites that are run as the same service. Each domain offers articles from a different market. At the top of each page the two domains are shown as menu options. If a user clicks one they can switch to the other domain. See here: http://www.cgtag.com Each domain has a different Google Analytics account, and when a user switches domains Google is counting this as a new session. It's listing the other domain as the "referral" for that new session. When the user switches back to the first domain Google is counting this as a returning visitor. This is messing up my reports. Showing returning visitors values that are higher than reality. It's also increasing hits on landing pages when the user switches, and listing the other domain as a referral site. I've found tips on how to list two domains as one website, but that results in merging the data. I want to keep the two domains separate so that I can track each ones performance, but I don't want to count domain changes as new sessions. Maybe something like treating the two domains as subdomains.

title: Alternative to GoDaddy's ConsoliDate feature (change domain expiration date)

text: I've been using GoDaddy to manage about 50 domain names for a few years, but recently decided to move (probably to namecheap) because of the elephant killing incident. One GoDaddy's feature I like a lot is Consolidate, which allows you to change the expiration date of domain names for a small fee. I've searched for a while but didn't find any other registrar that provides this feature. Does anyone know if there's a registrar that allows you to change the expiration date of domains? Thanks!

title: Can a sitemap change result in a drop of visits?

text: I recently restructured and resubmitted the sitemap for a website of mine in GWT. The old one was built by a script I acquired, which had its flaws but dit the job. After having implemented URL rewriting, I decided to write my own sitemap generator, in order to have a solution which perfectly fits my requirements and provides much better and accurate info than the old one. The integration went well, GWT displayed the green tickmark and the correct number of URLs. Around the time I have submitted the new sitemap however, I noticed a big drop in visits to the site. Is that normal behavior when one makes an important change to a sitemap, or is it pure coincidence and I need to look for the reason for declining visits elsewhere ?

title: When the canonical page itself changes URL

text: This is a continuation of the question: How to handle canonical URL changes like Stack Overflow. Say I have the canon URL: `questions/11/car` <---canonically-linked-from--- `questions/11/` What will happen if I want to change the canon URL to: `questions/11/car-with-sgx` Obviously, `questions/11/` will point to the new canon URL. But how should the old `questions/11/car` change to the new one? There are two ways:   1. 301 redirect that to new canon URL   2. the old canon URL canonically link to the new canon URL According to this post: > [By using canonical link instead of redirect,] OldPage.html’s rankings will > drop over time due to fewer internal links, but the canonical tag won’t make > it disappear entirely. It could theoretically remain in their index until > one of the following occurs: > >   1. it is redirected permanently via 301 >   2. it returns a 404 for an extended period of time (they will keep > checking for a while before dropping a URL) >   3. a meta robots “noindex” tag is added > If this is true, I really need to use redirect from old canon URL to the new canon URL, which means I need to keep a log of previous old canon URLsof this content, so I know when I can redirect. This is a bit of a hassle to do.

title: Shifting from no-www to www and browsers' password storage

text: I created a website having user-registration system and invited my friend to join it. I gave him the link of `no-www` version: `http://mydomain.com` but now after reading this and this, I want to shift to `www.mydomain.com`. But there's a problem. I saw that my browser is storing separate passwords for `mydomain.com` and `www.mydomain.com`. So in my friend's browser his password must have been stored for `no-www`. That means after I shift to `www` and next time he opens the login page, his browser wouldn't auto-fill the username and password fields and there will also be an extra entry (of `no-www`) in his browser's database of stored passwords. Can this be avoided? Can I do something that will convey to browsers that `www.mydomain.com` and `mydomain.com` are the same website? I already have a CNAME record for `www` pointing to `mydomain.com` but it seems that search engines consider CNAME as alias but browsers consider them as different websites, I don't know why.

Does it matter if I use a C-Class for each website? Do search engines really care if your site has its own c-class?   3. Do search engines penalize a website if it moves its IP? Thanks, Joel

title: Has anybody earned $0.25+ from each of a captcha (on your website) passing?

text: I am a real dummy in web monetizing schemes. [ 1 ] informs that a captcha vendor:   * "charges a fee of about 25 cents to 50 cents for each form that is filled out using a Type-In ad [captcha]... the company splits its fees 50-50 with the websites where the ads are placed"  There is a dozen of other similar captchas promoted as advertising platforms. Honestly, I cannot imagine that someone (in its proper senses) pasy that much money for just one captcha passed.   And how to understand these claims? Has any of webmasters (sysadmins) got those 0.25 USD per each captcha (deployed on his/her website) passing? Is it scam? What do I miss? **Update:**   Sorry, I cleaned and, as I hope, cleared my original question: Had anybody received those 50% from 50c per each captcha passing deployed on his website? This approach looks weird to me since those captchas aren't even minimally protected against automatic OCR passing by a bot. They are also completely transparent to laundry and redirection attacks, i.e. their re-transferring by bots to (again automatically, through offered APIs) human solver sweatshops cracking them at 1 USD per 1000 solutions.

title: Use same hosting and same website for a new domain I purchased without redirecting to it

text: I have a **somedomainname.in** domain with hosting from some ABC provider. The site is up and running. I recently bought its .com i.e **somedomainname.com** from a seller on GoDaddy, I want to use the same hosting that is already present for my .in. I do not want to host a seperate site using this hosting, I want to point to the same site. i.e say I have a post on `somedomainname.in/hello-world` and if somebody hits `somedomainname.com/hello-world` it should show the same page without changing/redirecting to the .in url I read about pointing name-servers of my .com to the .in and then somehow using the folder where the file resides. I want my .com to be my primary site which I will be sharing with everyone, posting on facebook/twitter etc but behind the scenes it will actually be using the .in domain's hosting. Can someone please adivce me on this ?

title: free blog hoster with markdown support?

text: I lastly thought about starting a personal blog. Since I'm not really sure on how active I'll be, I don't want to invest too much time or money in starting this. Thus, I would like to use some free blog hoster for the start, but allow later upgrading to an own domain, and maybe even host this on an own server. Also, since in the last months I really got used to Stackoverflow's (or Stack Exchange's) markdown syntax, thus I would like to use this for writing my posts (and maybe for comments, too). **Is there some blog hoster which allows these?**   1. having a non-cost blog   2. using markdown for posts (and comments)   3. redirecting all the URIs to corresponding URIs on another domain (not only to the main page), should I ever think about doing this myself   4. (optionally, may cost a bit) having an own domain for my blog   5. exporting all my blogged content easily * * * I have looked at:   * Posterous: It seems to support 1., 2., 4., but I found no information about migrating away from it.   * WordPress: It supports 1, it has a page about exporting the content (5.). It seems not to support Markdown, and redirecting to a new page (3.) comes only as a paid upgrade.   * Github pages with Jekyll: This supports 1., 2., 4. (if I register my domain elsewhere), 5. I'm not sure about redirecting to another domain if I should feel about migrating away.


title: Consolidating to one page when multiple pages appearing in SERPs

text: I've got a web site which for historical reasons has two or three pages that appear closely in serps for any given search term. The site is a spanish language site with two different but related domains, `capital-federal.enbuenosaires.com.ar` and `www.enbuenosaires.com`. An example would be the search term: "propiedades en venta en almagro" (properties for sale in almagro). PR1 - SERP 1 Position 3: http://www.enbuenosaires.com/almagro-ventas.html PR1 - SERP 1 Position 6: http://capital- federal.enbuenosaires.com.ar/m-almagro/departamentos-ventas-es_AR.html This is one isolated example but there are many (thousands) of pages some appearing high up, some further down in the SERPs. The pages in the `www.enbuenosaires.com` page are newer (since 2013) and updated in real time. The page in the `capital-federal.enbuenosaires.com.ar` domain heavily interlink to each other and are older (have been around since 2007) and are updated weekly. Many of the pages seem to have reasonable PR (0,1,2) and have been indexed without a problem. My question is what should I do? My feeling is that I should reduce the number of pages in order to "distill" and concentrate page rank within the site and thus appear higher in the SERPs. Things which occur to me are:   1. prune the site (remove one of the pages) and 301 from one of the pages to the other   2. prune the site (remove one of the pages) and 301 to a central "sitemap" page with links to the "canonical" landing pages   3. generally reduce the pages via 301 to the home page of `www.enbuenosaires.com`   4. leave it as it is Any suggestions or comments with reasoning very welcome.

title: How to properly URL/domain forward

text: No clue on a title for this, someone feel free to suggest an edit. I have a client that has a website. He owns around 200 domains, and wants each domain to contain content from the main website. The header, footer, and navigation bars will remain the same for each domain, but the actual page content will vary (obviously duplicate content issues, open to suggestions) He wants each individual page to be its own separate domain, rather than a url within the main domain. (page1.com page2.com etc - NOT site.com/page1.html, however the file is actually hosted at site.com/page1.html - all links will direct to site.com/whatever accordingly) What would be the best place to start reading / learning on how to do this, and what concerns/considerations should be taken into mind?

I'm using CSS frameworks, JS plugins, and some stock images released under GPL and MIT licenses if that matters. If this agency is placing that text and taking credit for my work, can I ask them to remove it?

title: Google sitemap HrefLang tag without the main site url

text: We have websites with multilingual content. e.g.   * `http://www.example.com/about-us/`   * `http://www.example.com/en-HK/about-us/`   * `http://www.example.com/en-GB/about-us/`   * `http://www.example.com/zn-CH/about-us/` We need to configure the hreflang tags in sitemap for Google to know that there are alternate links for the same pages in different languages. I know for the above example that my sitemap URL tag would look like this:                 <url>         <loc>http://www.example.com/about-us</loc>         <xhtml:link rel="alternate" hreflang="en-GB" href="http://www.example.com/en-GB/about-us"/>         <xhtml:link rel="alternate" hreflang="en-HK" href="http://www.example.com/en-HK/about-us"/>         <xhtml:link rel="alternate" hreflang="zn-CH" href="http://www.example.com/zn-CH/about-us"/>         <changefreq>daily</changefreq>         <priority>0.8</priority>       </url>      However, if I don't have the main URL but just the last three ones with en-HK, en-GB and zn-CH, then how should my URL tag look? Should I just skip the loc tag and keep the three xhtml:link tags? Or can I specify any URL in the loc tag and put the remaining two in xhtml:link tags? I am new to Google sitemaps. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks, Rashmi **Edit** : From the answer posted on http://stackoverflow.com/questions/18423624/sitemap-for-domain-with- multilanguage-site/18423803#18423803, for my example with sites in en-HK, en- GB and zn-CH, should there be three URL tags, with each of them assigned to loc with the other two in xhtml:link?


title: Can we make Tomcat realm extract the username and password from HTTP request?

text: I am building an Android application which communicates with the web server. I have implemented authentication and authorization in the web application itself. It looks bit cumbersome. So when I was browsing I came across Tomcat realm - container managed security. So I was wondering is it possible to use this? I have some questions:   1. Can we configure Tomcat realm to extract the username and password from the HTTP request and authenticate it?   2. I am using 2 way SSL handshake using client and server certificate. So will it cause any issue to configure Tomcat realm for authentication ? I tried connecting from the browser, that will pop up the login window when tried to connect to secured URL. But the above case is not the web application, its a mobile application using the web server. Is this Tomcat realms authentication approach suitable for the above case?


title: Google Analytics, how to track number of banner shows as events?

text: Well, not exactly banners, I just used this word as it is easier to understand in a title. So, I have 16 different CTA "boxes" with a couple lines of persuasive copy and a CTA button.

However, without knowing how many times each CTA "ad" has shown, number of button clicks doesn't say much. So, with Google Analytics, how do I trigger an even every time such CTA box is shown? It's basically a DIV that I'm in need of placing some javascript to.


title: How to avoid google from indexing like example.com/post/post/post/1-foobar.html?

text: I have a weird anomaly with one project. Where Google is indexing sites like: > example.com/post/post/post/1-foobar.html While it should do it like: > example.com/post/1-foobar.html I just recently added canonical tags, so ultimately it should use those right? And I think the problem is also in my page display script. So it doesn't give 404, if the format isn't correct. However.. **How on earth does Google even get to those links?** Is it because of `<a href="/post/1-foobar.html">Example</a>`? And also I had baseurl set in the head. And it somehow, thinks its a directory and goes on and on. I have set all my links `<a href="http://example.com/post/1-foobar.html">Example</a>` now. But I really don't see the point, its just an extra bytes to load..

title: Google Analytics showing more unique visitors than there are pages on an intranet site

text: I take care of a company intranet and measure the traffic with GA.

I have done a lot to keep my admin burden to a bare minimum and want to ensure that stays the case with providing SSL access to the servers. With that in mind what I want do do is this   * Complete the server configuration for srva.example.com by installing a wildcard SSL cert. They seem to be reasonably cheap these days. My servers do not do any e-commerce so I do not need much by way of certificte - the one I am looking at is from an outfit called Comodo.   * Get an image of srva.example.com   * Replicate it as many times as necessary - now and in the future. Question - am I liable to have any issues doing things this way? i.e. will I end up finding that I have to do individual cert installs on each server? I am something of a newbie when it comes to SSL certs so I would much appreciate any help.

title: Sending low volumes of HTML email from my web app

text: Using AngularJS and Firebase I am developing a small scale social-type web app (max. hundreds of users) that features an invite system, where existing users invite people they know and the system sends out an email for the invite. Invite emails are triggered by a record being added to Firebase, and Zapier detects this and sends an email from a dedicated Gmail account. The system also has a simple user-to-user message system, and emails are also sent if a user receives a message from a fellow user. For the prototype stage Gmail seems fine. I've tested sending emails to Yahoo and Hotmail/Outlook accounts and they've got through. Even in a production version there'd be a low volume of email -not more than a few hundred a day, if that, so Gmail's limits wouldn't be a problem. However for a production version Gmail doesn't look like it would work. Firstly, Zapier is only able to send plain text emails from Gmail in a zap, and I need to send HTML links in the emails. TBH I've very limited understanding of email systems but I've read about the difficulty of programmatic email sending (spam filters stopping a lot of legitimate mail). My newbie assumption is that my Gmail emails are not being filtered as spam by Yahoo and Hotmail because Gmail doesn't get used by spammers given its per-day send limit. Zapier also offers Mailchimp, Mailup, Mailgun, Mandrill, Alphamail and Sendgrid for outbound email. As far as I can tell, whether or not an email gets through spam filters depends on things like building up a reputation for your IP/domain, but I'd need invites to work as soon as the production version gets its first user. Could one of these offer what I need? I need to ensure emails are not filtered as spam. I can ask users to add a personalised message to invites, but beyond that, what can a system such as mine do to ensure the messages are not filtered as spam? (The prototype also does not have a "proper" domain name, but the production system would need one, and emails would need to come from that domain.)


title: How to dump a MediaWiki for offline use?

text: I would like to be able to make an offline version of a MediaWiki site on a weekly basis. The DumpHTML extension actually does what I want, as it dumps all articles and media files, but I can't see any index of all the articles it have dumped, so I can't navigate in the dump. Reading about the XML dump feature MediaWiki have, I wonder if it would be possible to either use a program to view these files or perhaps convert them to html? Or are there other ways to make an offline version of a MediaWiki site?


title: web design quote wrong

text: What is the best way to make the customer happy after a wrongly calculated quote? I calculated some functions to about $280 when those functions are really simple. I thought they would have been harder but after the customer explained I realized he was right and those functions could have been easily done for like $50. He finally decided he doesn't want the functions. Now I am not sure what to do, I don't want him to think that I have really expensive prices since that would be bad for my business. But at the same time I don't think I can tell him now that I can do the functions for $50, since he will think I was trying to steal money from him with a really high price before. I really thought at the first the functions were much more complex. Thanks for any advice!

title: Can I use both Digest and Basic Authentication on the same directory in Apache?

text: The reason I would want to do this is to support very old browsers (e.g. IE 6) that does not implement the more secure Digest method. If all new clients advertise the types of authentication they support in the HTTP protocol, this should be doable in principle. If a client does not advertise that, Apache should fall back to the Basic auth scheme. The advantage over using Basic auth is apparent: it would prevent passwords to travel in clear over the network most of the times, since the new browser are the majority, while still supporting some very old browsers that are still around. In other words, it would increase security.

Windows firewall on the server has an exception rule for port 80 TCP   4. Router has static I.P. XX.XXX.XX.XXX   5. Router is forwarding TCP port 80 to 192.168.1.3   6. My domain registrar is my DNS host and is pointing to the static I.P. XX.XXX.XX.XXX of the router Here's what I can and can't do.   1. I can browse the website from within my home network either by I.P. or domain name.   2. I can ping the domain and the I.P. from outside the network (from a computer at work).   3. I can't browse the website either by domain name or by I.P. Weird. Why I can't browse my website? Incidentally, I wasn't sure this question was appropriate for SO, but after finding a few others similar to it on SO, and no comments on those questions saying anything about it being inappropriate, I decided I would post this question. Let me know if this is not appropriate for SO, or is more appropriate for another of the SE websites. Thanks!

title: Using <audio> in Firefox with JavaScript

text: I am trying to implement background music on a website using the audio object, which is controlled by a JavaScript, I have posted a question about this before, @LazyOne explained that IIS will not serve unknown MIME types, and neither will the VS development server. I have now uploaded the site to an IIS 7 server, the MIME type for ogg is in place and when the site in accessed the server returns a 206 partial content (mozilla.org mentions that 206 responses are normal and expected for ogg files) and assessing the file directly works fine in Firefox (i.e. if you go to domain.com/music/file.ogg, it plays in the browser). and the file plays fine in the background if the autoplay attribute is set, but **it does not play via JavaScript**. Here is the JavaScript in question and relevant html:               audioMusic.volume = 0.15;          function playMusic(){            audioMusic.play();     }          function stopMusic(){         audioMusic.pause();     }      Relevant html:                             <title></title>                      on       off           <audio id="audioMusic" loop="loop" preload="auto">        <source src="/Music/music.ogg" type="audio/ogg" />        <source src="/Music/music.mp3" type="audio/mp3" />          </audio>                            More interesting facts:   * the playMusic() function is called in firefox, if you add an alert at the beginning it does off, but it is not able to execute: audioMusic.play()   * I have also tried document.getElementById("audioMusic").play();    * Both document.getElementById("audioMusic").play() and audioMusic.play() work in Chrome and IE, but not in firefox   * I am using Firefox 5.0.1 (the latest) **Question:** how to control the audio element via JavaScript in Firefox?


title: What is the best email address for a personal website with my name as the .com domain name?

text: I convinced one of my creative friends to finally purchase his own name as a domain name and start a portfolio. It has been years coming, but mission finally accomplished. Now I am helping him build his website. For my own personal website, I registered `pflanz.me` and my personal website is `travis.pflanz.me`. My email address is `travis AT pflanz.me`. I really like this idea for a personal website. I also have `travispflanz.com` which redirects to `travis.pflanz.me`, as does `pflanz.me` (`pflanz.com` was not available). While I really like this idea, he did not, and only wanted the .com, so his domain is `FirstnameLastname.com`. One of the main reasons I went the route I did is because I couldn't come up with a suitable `@travispflanz.com` email address, `travis AT travispflanz.com` just seems odd, as does me AT `travispflanz.com`. My question, what are the best personal email addresses to use for personal full-name .com domain names? Thanks!


title: Preventing Duplicates on Google

text: I am currently using a rewrite rule to enable access to .php pages, without using the php extension. However to prevent old links from breaking, the pages can still be accessed via links containing the .php extension too. For eg. `domain.com/page.php` can now be accessed at `domain.com/page` All the links on the website now use `domain.com/page` type links within the site. However older incoming links will still link to the .php pages, meaning Google will index both pages and mark them as duplicate. I have two plans to remedy the situation.   1. **Use a php 301 redirect:** When a page is accessed with the .php extension, I can redirect each page individually using a 301 redirect using php   2. **Using Canonical:** Place a canonical tag on each page, pointing to the ".php" less version **My Question:**   Are both methods equally efficacious in preventing Google from indexing my ".php" pages?   Which method should be preferred, by convention or otherwise?

title: Homemade URL shortener redirect conflicting with 301 redirects

text: I have a website which was originally built using classic ASP. About a year ago it was rewritten in PHP. This caused file extensions to change and some pages were moved to new locations within the website. Naturally we made 301 redirects from the old URLs to the new URLs so their users and search engines could find their new locations. This works fine. We also built them a tool that allows the site owner to create their own tiny URLs that will redirect to a page with Google Analytics campaign tracking variables included in the URL so they can track the campaign and see how it performs. The issue I have is the campaign tracking rules conflicts with the 301 redirects and prevents the redirects from working at all. Here is the campaign tracking code:               RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f     RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d     RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /tracking.php?$1 [R=301,L]      As you can see it checks to see if a file exists and if it doesn't it redirects to a tracking script (tracking.php) which then takes the tracking code and redirects to the proper URL with the Google Analytics campaign code in the query string. That code causes rules like this to fail:               redirect 301 /about.asp /about.php     redirect 301 /capabilities.asp /capabilities.php     redirect 301 /capacitors.asp /capacitors.php      It makes sense that this doesn't work together as the tracking rules say, "if a file isn't found redirect to tracking.php". What I need is for the 301 redirects to run first, and if none of them match, then redirect to the tracking script. Placing the tracking rules below the 301 redirects does not change the results. Can this be done via .htaccess? Or will I need to modify the tracking script so that if a campaign is not found it checks to see if the campaign ID is actually an old page that needs to be redirected and then do the 301 redirect from there?

Now is id an attribute?what about application part? is php an application?

text: Actually I am facing an issue that my internet connectivity goes down whenever I am trying to generate such load on the application server from my client machine using the load testing tool "OpenSTA". My application server is an Amazon instance. I've tried to create one more micro instance and installed OpenSTA there and tried to generate the load from that machine. That micro instance goes off from the network and I needed to restart it. Please help me out what should be my client machine configuration


title: Does using spaces in a URL affect SEO?

text: When creating URLs for my website I need to use a space, for example `http://mydomain.com/start home` I've seen some sites using `+` or `-`, what are the advantages of using `space`, `+` and `-` (dashes) in SEO? What is better to use for URL formatting? Should I use `http://mydomain.com/start-home` or `http://mydomain.com/start+home`?

title: Pictures are not displaying to anonymous users on Drupal, using ImageField!

text: I have set up a new drupal site, and I have added an Image field to the default content type _story_ using CCK and ImageField. This issue is that I can view the images when logged into my admin account, but when I try to view the images when logged out (like most, if not all viewers of this site would be), they don't appear. I have check permissions and I can't find anything that looks like the problem. Thanks!


title: Google Webmaster Tools is showing duplicate URLs based on page title differences

text: I have 700+ title tag duplicates showing in WMT. ![enter image description here](http://i.stack.imgur.com/TPWug.png) Every first link in that picture is as duplicate link of second one. I don't know from where the first link got indexed by Google when that link doesn't exist in the site. It's showing the title of every page as link. Original link: `http://www.sitename.com/job/407/Swedish-plus-Any-other-Nordic- Language-Customer-Service-Representative-Dublin-Ireland`. Duplicate link: `http://www.sitename.com/job/407/Swedish-plus-Any-other- Nordic-Language-Customer-Service-Representative-Dublin-Ireland-Ireland`. How can this happen? I have checked entire site I didn't find where the second version is linked. I have no images linked to with duplicated version of URL.


title: Bounce rate nearly 100% in Safari AND Firefox?

text: Our website has a bounce rate of nearly 100% in both Firefox and Safari, and around ~40% in all other browsers. The bounces span all versions of each browser and both operating systems. I cannot recreate any error in either browser on any of my computers, and I'm not getting any php errors on my server. Firebug isn't throwing any javascript errors. The most prevalent google result for Safari is that top sites is skewing the bounce rate. But this seems extreme, and the addition of firefox pretty much rules it out. This one really has me confused. I've been googling for weeks to no avail. Our home page bounce rate is very low across all browsers. Any insight whatsoever, including what types of errors would cause safari and firefox to respond identically to would be greatly appreciated.

title: How to handle redirects & http status codes at urls where a product becomes unavailable?

text: I have this use case that happens frequently: Lots of products for sale, periodically a percentage goes out of stock. A user still browses in on the old url, to a location where a product used to be. I want to redirect them to a search page, and notify them that the product is no longer available, and try to provide them with alternatives. At the same time, I want to notify automated services (search engines, shopping engines) that that specific product is gone, in order to prevent continued hits to the urls in question. What ways are there for gracefully handling this? Edit: I'm refactoring/recoding the site in custom php code. I also do have a dedicated 404 page, with links to places on the site, etc, but don't really want to duplicate the search page's functionality on the 404 page when a system is already in place in a different php script, and for most 404's I already have a more generic suggestion for alternatives.


title: Seperate .com domain name purchasing for a VPS

text: I am looking at getting a VPS with RackSRV, and they don't sell domain names, but are happy to set it up after I get one elsewhere. Can anyone recommend somewhere I can purchase just the domain, and not have any hassles moving it afterwards? (Or can I just purchase the domain and make it point at the RackSRV ip address, while still using the domain sellers' control panel? I don't really understand that part of it enough! :)) I want the domain name registered in my name, ideally with myself as the technical and administrative contacts for simple transfers.


title: Domain in PENDINGDELETE, question about drop

text: A domain I want is in the pendingDelete stage according to WHOIS. I have been monitoring it since redemptionPeriod, and it entered into pendingDelete 5 days ago today. After checking a few services (SnapNames, etc), they report it is scheduled to drop on the 11th (7 days, by my calculations). I'm not quite sure what to believe. The domain isn't _highly_ valuable. It is to me and one other company. I can see no backorders placed on the big name sites, so I'm thinking of trying to get it without a backorder service. Any insight as to when it will **actually** drop? I've read 11AM-2PM PST, but I'm unsure. Thanks.

Also API metrics, dimensions, filters, segments, would be highly preferred to anything in the online GUI. TIA For any help.


title: Redirect Google crawler to different robots.txt via .htaccess

text: I have googled for the answer all day and still couldn't find an answer. I have a virtual subdomain `www.static.example.com` which is a mirror site of `www.example.com`. It means I have just one root folder for subdomain and domain aswell. I want to redirect crawlers to different `robots.txt` file - `robots_static.txt` when they see `.static` in url in which I will forbid indexing via `/disallow` command. I want to do this because I have duplicated content in Google search results. Subdomain is showing the exact same content as the main domain. Does anyone know how could I achieve that crawlers sees `robots_static.txt` instead of `robots.txt`? What I have managed to find so far is this:               RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www.static.*$ [NC]     RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^[A-Z]{3,9}\ /.*robots\.txt.*\ HTTP/ [NC]     RewriteRule ^robots\.txt /robots_static.txt [NC,L]      but when I check in webmaster tools, it still sees `robots.txt` as my robots file instead of `robots_static.txt`, so it crawls and index everything twice.

title: Google update on 3/9/14 has caused loss of sitemap indexed pages. I have no Idea what's going on

text: I was up to at least 30 blog posts indexed out of maybe 40. That number was slowly climbing. Then the update came along and while we've been adding posts, the total indexed number has been going down. I've noticed this primarily from the update in April. As to what the update entails that would cause this to happen is baffling. We're down to 19 indexed posts at the moment. Google in its crawl stats claims it has 25, which is still less than what we should have. Has anyone else had this problem? Sure this is a small blog, but that's less reason for it not working perfectly. I see this spirally to the point where we have no indexed pages. I've seen other posts regarding indexes, for instance: Google indexes some of pages, but most are ignored from a website, even though a massive sitemap is submitted but I'm losing pages here Will provide more data per basis What's a good way to mitigate this problem? What can I do to make sure this problem doesn't happen again? and what are good indicators that I have a problem in the first place? External resources welcome. I've been searching the blogosphere but it's primarily general information.

title: My Server is returning a 404 instead of 403 when access if forbidden - is it good or bad?

text: via .htaccess, I forbid access to folders that have no index page inside (`domain.com/images` for example), and also block my site completely for several user-agents (such as `wget`). When I test to see what these kind of users see when accessing my website on each of these occasions, The error message that is displayed is something like: > "Forbidden > > You don't have permission to access /images/ on this server. > > Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an > ErrorDocument to handle the request." The title is 403 error, but in my server logs I see that the server is returning a 404 error. So - Is this "good" or "bad"? What does the above message means?


title: How to handle new domain names?

text: I have a new product which I'll call a pen ink reloader. I have a website using my products name, for example, www.inkywink.com which I want to have accessed by searches for keywords such as "pen ink", "pen out of ink" "ink for pens" etc. , since nobody knows that a pen ink reloader exists. I see that its quite difficult to get on front page for these keywords since they have lots of competition. However I notice that the exact phrases I want to rank highly for are available as domains. I purchase "www.penink.com" and "penoutofink.com" which for arguments sake are highly searched and the perfect keywords to get eyes on my money site www.inkywink.com .   1. What is my best option to leverage those names so that they appear near top of searches so that I can get traffic to my money site? Do I just have them redirect 301 to inkywink.com or should I create small original content on each with links to my main site?   2. If I just have them redirected to inkywink.com, am I able to use keywords in metatag and headers for each site separately or do they all automatically obtain the same headers and tags as the site to which they're redirected ? Thanks to anyone who can help as I'm a real newbie to all this.

Following does not work:               Options +FollowSymLinks     RewriteEngine On     RewriteRule ^/$ /subdomain/main.php      This doesn't work either:               Options +FollowSymLinks     RewriteEngine On     RewriteRule ^/$ http://localhost/subdomain/main.php      Where is the problem? P.S. The rules are placed in `.htaccess` in `/subdomain` directory. I'm using WAMP, if it matters. P.P.S. Logs show "File not found" message.

title: Google Analytics tracking the wrong site

text: I have multiple sites tracked in my profile - they each using different tracking ids of course. However, one of my sites reports being visited by searchers using keywords completely unrelated by that site, but related to another site in my profile.

title: jQuery: fading scrollbars plugin

text: I'm looking for a jQuery plugin which changes the standard scrollbars to those invisible ones only visible during scrolling and then fading away. This is probably best known from mobile devices, the new Mac OS X Lion browser, or the facebook notification area / chat bar. I need this because when the scrollbars are always shown they take too much space. Has anyone used this? I've found some examples for styling scrollbars but these are neither invisible upon loading nor they fade away after usage. Additionally they will not overlap with the content but instead reserve their space from the content area.


title: Optimal synchronization tool

text: Mostly I edit the files on my local server and then upload them to the remote server, but for small changes or for things that can only be tested on the remote computer, I'll edit the remote file directly (using Dreamweaver and a web-dav software called web-drive). Problem is, after a while I'll wanna edit the file again, and due to a very bad memory and organization, I have to manually check the date of both the remote and local file, in order to select the latest version. Otherwise, the change I have made will be undone as soon as I synchronize the file. Is there a synchronization tool that automatically compares dates of similar files on the local and remote servers, and then imports/exports the latest version?

I have a `.ttf` format and I import all of my fonts like this at the moment:               @font-face {font-family: "t1"; src: url(../fonts/title/circle.ttf);}     @font-face {font-family: "t2"; src: url(../fonts/title/sanserifing.ttf);}     @font-face {font-family: "t3"; src: url(../fonts/title/serveroff.ttf);}     @font-face {font-family: "t4"; src: url(../fonts/title/pupcat.ttf);}      How can I achieve antialising done right in Google Chrome Windows?


title: meta robots for logged in vs. not logged in users

text: On a site I'm working on, The homepage has generic content for visitors who aren't logged in. When a user is logged in, the content shown is personalized to them and could even be considered private. So when a user is not logged in: url: `http://mydomain.com` `<meta name="robots" content="index, follow">` When a user is logged in: url: `http://mydomain.com` `<meta name="robots" content="noindex, nofollow">` Since both URLs are the same, are there any SEO concerns since the robots directives are different? Is it better to send the user to a different URL for their personalized homepage, and why?


title: If file name starts with ".ht" is it available from outside?

text: Someone told me that I can store MySQL passwords in a plain-text file in the web root, all I have to do is to give it a name starting with `.ht` (other than `.htaccess`). Is it so?


title: Why does baidu crawl my site like crazy

text: When i'm checking my apache log I can see that baidu has been crawling my website 10 times a day for the last 2 weeks. It's not that i care much about it but I'm really curious about why he's doing this. It's a really small single page website with not much incoming links. Is there any reason behind that?               220.181.108.169 [10/Mar/2012:10:41:29 +0100] "GET / ... +http://www.baidu.com/search/spider.html)"     180.76.5.197 [10/Mar/2012:11:02:02 +0100] "GET /

title: Avg. Visit Duration 00:00:00 conclusion

text: What can I predict when I see in Google Analytics that total visits by search for some day are 93 visits while 70 visits of them have the value 00:00:00 for Avg. Visit Duration? Did those visits made by robots? or How could they regarded as visits while they don't spend any time on the website? Or this is dysfunction of the Google's Analytics script by which it does not able to count the visit time?


title: When 301 redirecting a page, what needs to be in the sitemap?

text: In sitemap there was page `a.html` which has some PageRank. Now `a.html` is redirecting to `b.html` using `301` and sitemap has `b.html` entry, `a.html` is removed. Queries are:   1. As `a.html` is not in sitemap then how search engines understand `301` redirection of `a.html` to `b.html` and add PageRank of `a.html` to`b.html`?   2. Will search engines still crawl `a.html`? How much longer?    3. Is it necessary for the sitemap to have both entries: `a.html` and `b.html` for some time so search engines resolve query 1 as mentioned above?


title: Images Maps SEO and Accessibility

text: My question of the day is about image maps and accessibility. Now it is my understanding that whenever you use an alt tag within an img tag you describe the image which increases the user experience for those who are blind or just people whom have just disabled images from rendering for one reason or many. Now this logic doesn't seem to work with Image Maps which I'll demonstrate an example.               <img alt="Image Map of Bits and Bobs" usemap="#imgmap" src="bits-and-bobs">       <map name="imgmap">         <area shape="poly" coords="" href="" alt="Spanner" title="Guitars Repairs"/>         <area shape="poly" coords="" href="" alt="Dollar" title="Guitars for Sale"/>         <area shape="poly" coords="" href="" alt="eLearning" title="Learning about Guitars"/>         <area shape="poly" coords="" href="" alt="String" title="How to tune a Guitar"/>       </map>      _**Valid Href's and Coords removed for easier viewing_**... So as you can see in the above image I'm describing the area of the image rather that the outcome if they click the image. So my question is simple.... Within a image map that contains links do you describe the link outcome rather describe the image... For example a image of strings using strings wouldn't indicate that its a link about how to tune a guitar, however the title tag does.


title: How to bulk delete email accounts from cPanel / my hosting account?

text: I'd like to delete a few hundred email accounts from my domain (it's not all of them). I've looked and looked. cPanel and Hostgator allow you to bulk-create email accounts and forwarders and there may be a way to bulk-delete forwarders but there doesn't seem to be a way to **_delete_** email accounts -- except one click at a time. So, if I have 197 email accounts to delete:               account_003@mydomain.com     account_004@mydomain.com     account_012@mydomain.com     account_027@mydomain.com     etc...      How can I do this in bulk?


title: AdSense: Beginner questions

text: I am completly new to adsense, although I read service disclaimer, their adsense academy information page etc. I still have questions I want to ask you. ### 1. Two adsense units on same page If I put two units to my page, both units should have same class "adsbygoogle" and I need only one usage of these scripts, am I right?               <script async src="//pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/js/adsbygoogle.js"></script>     <script>(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});</script>         ### 2. Unit width/height Can I change width height of unit in its source code. Are there any problems if unit does not have a standard size, recommended by google? For example with image adverts?                 <ins class="adsbygoogle" style="display:inline-block;width:336px;height:280px" ...      ### 3. How can I let google know when my adsense is ready? My adsense account is approved, now I have to create my units, then google will check it. Until will be checked only empty space will display on my page. How can I let google now, that my units are ready to be checked? ### 4. Self clicks What if, for example, I misclick to adsense in my own page, it automatically means that my account will be blocked? Isn't it too hard? How can I protect myself against this? My colleagues at work or neighbour in summer cottage share same IP address with me. Does it mean that if they click to adsense, google will penalize me? ### 5. Addblocks Almost all people I know use addblocks. So I assume that majority of people will not notice any adsense on my webpages. Is there any way how to avoid this and bypass addblocks, or not? What are you experience with adsense income and addblock? Thank you for any advice.
