title: Tracking many subsites in Google Analytics

text: We have a website where visitors buy access to online courses. We'd like to have reports about visitors across the website/all online courses as well as reports of visitors on specific courses. The main website and the online courses all reside on the same domain with the courses being hosted in subfolders. The number of online courses already is around 50 and will grow, so having a dedicated view per online course is a bad idea because of the limit on the number of views per account. Would using page level custom variables identifying each page view to a course be enough to produce interesting reports? Is there a better strategy?

I'm trying to figure out how to start adding rich snippets to products but I keep getting an error from Google stating: > In order to generate a preview with rich snippets, either price or review or > availability needs to be present. But I have price in there in a meta tag. I don't get what's wrong here:

title: Should Marketing departments have basic HTML skills?

text: Working within an organisation as part of the in-house site development team, a lot of my team's throughput is driven by the colouring-in (marketing) department. It is their responsibility to provide approved content and imagery for the features or enhancements that we include on each iteration of the company site. One thing I've noticed in this job and several previous ones is that the Marketing department is extremely particular about wording and presentation, but has little to no understanding of the actual medium with which they're working - the web. I find that my team is constantly making best guesses for various HTML attributes like image alt text, titles, rel tags, blockquote cite attributes and the like. How reasonable is it to expect that marketing departments have a strong understanding of the purpose of HTML metadata? Should it be the developer's job to remind and inform each time or are marketing departments falling behind the technology they're working with? What could I reasonably expect our marketing department to understand and provide every time with each new work request?


title: Having google index canonicals but users using parameters - correct?

text: I'm working on a site that has a search facility with multiple parameters that look up property listings. The possible parameters are: City, Area, Building Type, Min. Bedrooms, Max Rental Price, Page Number, Sort Order. The 'raw' url, without any rewriting would look something like this: **www.mysite.com/city=1 &area=1&type=1&bedrooms=3&price=1000&page=3&sort=1** While you're using my site, it doesn't matter to me or to you what the URL looks like, so I think I'm happy to work with the so called 'dirty' URL. It matters however, what Googlebot sees, so i'm planning to add a URL rewrite to allow access to pages like: **www.mysite.com/london/kensington/apartments** And then i'm planning to add canonicals to make sure that's the page that gets indexed - no matter what your bedroom / price preferences are, what page of results you're on or the order in which you want them to appear. The idea is that Google will only index fewer, higher quality 'view-all' pages, but users will be able to drill down and refine their results to get very specific. The question however is whether or not this is a correct use of the canonical and whether it will lead to the desired effect? **EDIT** It doesn't matter if google indexes 'dirty' URLs with parameters (though it should index the clean one when theres one available). What really matters is that the site gets found when people conduct a relevant search. Having it above competitor sites is the idea, if they didn't have an SEO strategy.


title: Responsive link units in AdSense

text: As of now, it appears that the only way to implement Google AdSense ad units for a website built on responsive design is to use the Google responsive ad units. However, it appears that there is no responsive option available for link units. Is there any way to implement Google AdSense linkunits on a responsive design without disrupting the design and without having content lie outside the viewport? I asked the same question at Google Product forums and they couldn't help either.

title: Bootstrap dynamic content

text: I am building a website powered by twitter's bootstrap. I have created a landing page with menus and text. The next thing I want to do is create a About page, but what is the easiest way to create a new page with the same layout. I don't think copy and pasting the layout would be a great idea. I have used PHP includes and $_GET variables for this in the past but I wondered if there is a more elegant solution. I hope this is the place for the question and I hope somebody can help me.


> **Possible Duplicate:**   >  Adaptive websites - considered keyword stuffing by Googlebot? I work on a SEO-dependent content website, and we are in the process of making our site adaptive/responsive (what are adaptive websites?). More technically, we are using CSS media queries to apply different CSS styles as the size of the browser changes. As the browser size shrinks to 320x480 and below (mobile), we use CSS to hide much of the content on the page - up to 75% of it. My question is - would Googlebot consider this practice keyword stuffing? My worry is that Googlebot may think we are stuffing the page with keywords to make the page relevant, but then hiding the keywords with CSS.


title: Would my SEO be impacted if I migrated posts from Tumblr to a hosted WordPress solution?

text: I'm curious about both the positive and negative benefits of migrating old posts that were written on a Tumblr blog with a custom domain to a self-hosted WordPress solution. I've seen many people mention better SEO from a self-hosted WordPress solution, as well as the convenience of having all blog content in one place. If I were to migrate everything to the self-hosted WordPress, I would create `301` redirects from the old post URLs to the new post URLs in order to preserve SEO. However, are there downsides to this? Am I going to experience an SEO hit? URL example from my old Tumblr blog: `http://blog.example.com` URL example from my new self-hosted WordPress solution: `http://www.websiteurl.com/blog`


title: Web hosted payment form service recommendation, for card processing

text: I'm accepting credit cards on my website, using PayPal's "hosted" solution (an IFRAME that collects the credit card information, PayPal calls this "PayFlow"). I chose PayPal because they were a brand I recognized. However, PayPal has been absolutely dreadful to deal with, accidentally deleting my account overnight and whole comedy of errors, bad service, and hidden fees; so I'm looking for a replacement. I will eventually be taking recurring payments. These are for simple website service subscriptions, so it will be a custom "shopping cart". I don't want to touch the credit card numbers, to limit my risk as much as possible. Can anyone else recommend a major player that they trust to do this, please? I don't see where Google Checkout offers a hosted form, but I could be wrong. And if this is a bad place for this question, would you please give me a bit of advice on where to take it? There is supposed to be a FAQ at http://stackoverflow.com/questions/982953/what-is-the-best-credit-card- processing-service , but it is gone. edit: Based on one of the answers, I should mention this is for North American (almost exclusively US) business.

title: Issues overriding page field value in pageview tracking in Google Analytics

text: I decided to override page value which is send to GA on page view. Reasons for override were:   * Not always page title is unique (some pages have one title)   * Page URLs are ugly and meaning less and looking at URL it will be hard to understand which page it is.  So I explicitly provide page value. Like this:               ga('send', 'pageview', {'page': '/store/books/viewlist'})      My questions are:   1. Is this a good practice to override page value?   2. Why in Google Analytics _Behavior -> Events -> Pages_ in page column I see page URL (thus "/store/driver?page=777&action=viewlist") not the page value what is sent? Is this a GA bug? In other places, for instance, in _Behavior -> Site content -> All pages_ in page column I see correct page value (thus "/store/books/viewlist").


title: Is it possible to track URL parameter and then value of cookie?

text: I have recently launched a site for a customer which we would like to track initial visits on URL's like so via Google Analytics and then track their revists on their respective referral code: User comes in on:   * `domain.com/?ref=code1`   * `domain.com/?ref=code2`   * `domain.com/?ref=code3` Once they land, we drop a cookie with the ref code and this determines what they see on revisiting the site. They are locked to this ref code unless they go through another affiliate website and come in on a new referral code. We would like to know which code they came in on, and then know which code is within the respective cookie? That data can then be drilled down into via filters or seperate profiles perhaps? I am not an SEO specialist, just a web developer trying to sort this out.

title: Canonical URL for paged results pages

text: If you use a canonical url meta tag on a paged result page, will Google still link to it when a keyword is found? I have a forum which has multiple pages for each topic. 10 posts per page. When I google for a topic title, I see that page but also a link to the last page, and since the button said "Last", Google actually adds that to the link, making it look really weird because they remove the original title, which is also the topic title. Anyway, should I put canonical URL meta tags on pages that have "/page/4/" behind the URL? And if people search for content that can be found on page 4, will Google still point them to the right page? To make it more abstract: Having multiple links in search engines results is silly, but they should still be crawled as the content is not duplicate.


title: Why are my posts omitted from Google search results when my site is listed in it?

text: My domain is not new at all, in fact I have waited for quite a long time now for Google to show some love. If I do a search for my domain name, it shows the website is listed, but if I try to search for even a year-old post on Google, using my website name too, it never returns it. Instead it says some results have been omitted and asks if those omitted results should be included in the search results. The following is the message it returns: > In order to show you the most relevant results, we have omitted some entries > very similar to the 8 already displayed. If you like, you can repeat the > search with the omitted results included. Why are my posts are never returned in search results even though I have original and ample content on my website?

title: Removing Google Webmaster URL Parameters

If I re-include the website in Google Index and pages Index Goes up smartly as the parameters are still in the Google Program. Another thing I want to know if the indexed pages are 97000 then how the parameters are 1,200,000, I didn't understand it how


title: How can I stop Googlebot can't access your site messages from a site that's moved to another developer

text: I had a client who moved their site a while back to another developer. When they moved it they took down the site and put up a coming soon page ( which is currently what's there). Googlebot warned me that it couldn't reach the site so I logged into My Webmaster tools and removed the site from it, but I continue to get messages saying it can't access the site. Is there some way I can communicate this scenario to Google. I really thought that removing it from my webmaster tools would have done the trick. I'd rather not put the google email address in my blacklist.

Any idea how to solve this? Thank you.

Redeploy the matching RSL > or relink your application with the ... _I know people will want to tell me what the error message means and how to recompile, but there are plenty of instructions about that elsewhere, and that's not my question._ I see this happening in search summaries for pages on this site which I think don't _have_ any Flash objects in them - and certainly Firebug's Net tab doesn't show any. Google's cached version of the page doesn't include the error messages in the HTML or text-only versions. Trying things at random and waiting for Google to re-index is clearly not a sane strategy. Does anyone know a tool which reproduces as closely as possible Google's web page to text converter, or which in some way would allow me to reproduce the error message locally so that I can debug and test that I've fixed it?


title: When should "domain hacks" like del.icio.us be used for most sites?

text: While it's fine for sites aimed at more advanced, I find a lot of non- technical people tend to just add www and .com to every domain, so for example, my dad would type that in as `www.del.icio.us.com`. Obviously, if you were designing a site for fishing tips, for example, you would obviously use a more traditional domain, while for your fancy web based photo editor or whatever, it'd be fine. But those are the extremes, so where do you draw the line over whether those sort of domains are suitable? (Yes, I know del.icio.us changed to delicious.com)

I can make a list of hundreds of sites using it, but of course, I'm a geek. So in adition to the main question, what are the pros and cons of the "timeago" date format?


title: Google Analytics: Exclude all non-event unique visitors

text: I have a dashboard on which I want two widgets:   * **Widget one** : A _statistics_ widget with the count of _unique visitors_ that did **not** fire _any event actions_.    * **Widget two** : A _statistics_ widget with the count of _unique visitors_ that did fire _specific event actions_.  Widget two was a piece of cake:   * Statistics: `Unique visitors`   * Filter: Only show `Event action`, with regular expression: `(action1|action2|action3)` But I can't seem to get widget one to work, I tried the same setip as two but as regex: `.+` and exclude instead of only show. This would seem to me like it would exclude all unique visitors with any event action? Instead it shows results in 0 visitors. **Edit** : Oh, and it is important that the widget actually exclude **any** event action, not just the action1, action2 and action3 from the other widget.

text: I'm implementing a startup social media site where users post product reviews and other opinions. One of the features is a Facebook Share function. The business owners are interested in using the Facebook Graph API to track posts which users share on Facebook. They would like to "monitor" comments and other activity that occurs on Facebook for our posts that our users have shared. Technically, my understanding is that this is possible. Are we allowed to import these comments for display on our site? We are looking for options that would let us integrate or "redisplay" comment activity that occurred on Facebook but about a post on our site. Would this be problematic from a legal standpoint? We would rather stay away from official Facebook "comments plugins" and other such tools - and retain full control over the way that such comments are displayed on our site.

title: Problems with setting up email notifications in Redmine

text: I´ve installed a fresh Redmine 2.5.1 installation on a Ubuntu 12.04 server. Redmine is served by Apache (passenger). The Server can send emails by use of Postfix (tested with the _mail_ command from terminal). After reading the help document on Redmine's Email-Configuration, I´m confused where to put what though. My aim is to use the server's ability to send emails with Postfix and not to use an external SMTP like Gmail. Redmine is also giving me following error in email settings: ![enter image description here](http://i.stack.imgur.com/P3lSi.png) In `/etc/redmine/default` I have following files (no _configuration.yml_!):   * database.yml    * session.yml In `/usr/share/redmine` resides:   * additional_environment.rb.example    * environment.rb    * locales   * boot.rb    * environments    * routes.rb   * configuration.yml.example    * initializers    * settings.yml Questions:   1.

text: For the last few days, I've been suffering from what appears to be a (presumably inadvertent) DDOS attack. I've been getting so many requests from an agent identifying as "Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; ICS)" that apache eats through all the available memory.

Without having to wrap it in a `location` or `directory` block, which would mean I'd have to add a new block for each site, is there any way I can deny access to the whole server? * * * UPDATE: The error I get >   * Restarting web server apache2   >  Syntax error on line 4 of /etc/apache2/httpd.conf: deny not allowed here > [fail] >

title: Can a mobile version of site be considered duplication by Google if the page is the same only the css is different?

text: Hearing about the problems with mobile browser detection I plan to add a button to my site which enables the users to switch manually between normal/mobile version of the site. The button sets a cookie and reloads the page and the PHP code on the server side seeing the cookie serves exactly the same page with only the CSS link pointing to the mobile stylesheet file. I heard Google is able to follow javascript code too, so it may "push" the button and sees the mobile version of the site. Wouldn't it confuse Google that it sees exactly the same page (same URL, same content) with only a the CSS link replaced? Wouldn't it consider it duplicate content?


title: Should I index my mobile duplicate of my desktop website on google?

text: > **Possible Duplicate:**   >  Can a mobile version of site be considered duplication by Google if the > page is the same only the css is different? I have a duplicate of http://he.thenamestork.com with the url http://he.thenamestork.com/mobile - all files are duplicated while the mobile version has a slightly different content. Notice that when I write 'mobile' I only mean regular HTML4 with smartphone friendly CSS. I have a series of redirects (using .htaccess) that allows smartphone users land directly on the mobile versions. But I wonder, shound I index the mobile version as well so those users will be able to get direct, faster links? And what is the proper way of doing that without causing problem in google search? I guess I'm asking if there's a way to get google display regular urls for desktop users and ../mobile/.. urls for smartphone users, and if it is smart SEOwise.


title: Canonical url homepage

text: I have a mini-website that has one unique webpage that talks about a product. The current existing links for this website are:               www.example.com     www.example.com/keywords-important-for-webpage      Both pages show the same content, only the second page has a better URL. I want Google to index and show my link with keywords in the search-results instead of the homepage. So I added a canonical ref. on the homepage that redirects to the other page with a better URL-structure. But now, Google has indexed the homepage but not the URL with the keywords. So exactly the opposite of what I wanted. Is it not possible to add a canonical URL to the homepage? If it is, what could be the problem?

The page features a photo, and we would really like to have users tweet the photo itself out. Is it possible to build "tweet this photo" functionality from my website? If I fill the image URL into the tweet, Twitter shows a link to the image, but not the image itself. Users can upload photo to twitter that get shown fully in Twitter.


title: DNS mistake. Google crawled the wrong server. What to do?

text: # Problem Exists Between Keyboard And Chair I have a couple of similar looking domains on Coudflare where I manage their DNS. An old forum and my new still MVP site. As many of you may have experienced, Cloudflare moves around the order of the domains on the websites list based on use, with the last one you edited always on top. Based on use my MVP site has been on top for a few months now, but recently I've been making some changes to the forums as well. Well what happens is that at one point I inadvertently rely on my spacial-memory to click on the edit button, and changed the IP of the wrong site! # The aftermath I managed to change the A record for the MVP site that is currently live to point to the forum's server. I didn't realize the mistake until I received an email from Webmaster tools telling me of all the errors on my new site so Google ended up crawling the forum which was now being served under my MVP's domain name. Google now thinks my new MVP domain name has a completely different structure. # What can be done? I have since fixed the DNS issue. But now I am wondering if I have permanently ruined my new site's Google ranking with this mistake.   * What problems have I created for my new site as far as SEO and Google Ranking?   * Can anything be done to curb/fix them?

My site has about 400 daily visitors, 1.5 pages/visit - so I'm too small to manually approach any sponsor for an personal ad deal. What AdSense would work best? By 'best' I mostly mean "make the most money", although usability is also a factor.

If I create a sitemap.xml for dynamic pages , google does not crawl and index it. reason - they are not linked to each other and from other pages.

text: I am building an website. It has an .nl domain. Now only my domain is showing up on google.nl I hope I can change this somehow that it could be findable in all google's (like google.com / co.uk) and so on. If I look on google forums. They say go to webmaster tools and change your geographic position over there. But I have added this site and I am not able to change it there because there is no select box. I dont have any idea were to search (yes I searched on google offcourse) or where to ask for this special problem. So maybe here can someone redirect me or explain me what is possible and what not. The question is can I make an .nl domain findable in (almost) all google search sites? And so on how can I do that. Picture of my google webmaster tools (nl): http://i.stack.imgur.com/ZuP4L.png

title: Will not supporting IE or older browsers drive away potential visitors/users of my site?

text: Normally a SO browser but this question doesn't fit there, hopefully it fits here. I just want to ask from web designers' point of view if it's wrong to not care about supporting Internet Explorer or older browsers. The site I'm designing looks great in all browsers except IE9-. There are certain things that IE doesn't support or behave like other browsers; webkit stuff, some CSS styles, drop-and-drop files from OS etc etc, but it all works great in Safari, FireFox, Chrome etc. Should I be that concerned? I know there are several people that use IE, but it's limitations have just been causing me more work by having to come up with workarounds. From what I've read, many of the issues I've been having should be solved with IE10, but not everybody keeps up to date. I know of several people who are still using IE6! Again, I'm hoping this is the right place to ask a question like this, and if not, please point me to the right stack exchange site instead of just downvoting me. Thanks! EDIT: Upon further research.... So far this year, IE(all versions) and Chrome have been neck and neck as the top, with IE only squeaking by Chrome, and FireFox a close 3rd. But looking at the top 10 browsers, IE6 doesn't even show up on this list in which the lowest percentage is 1.92%. Source : http://www.w3counter.com/globalstats.php?year=2012&month=7 Having a look at this other site, IE6 shows up in 11th place out of 12, just before "Other" http://www.sitepoint.com/browser-trends-february-2012/ This makes me a little more wary of not spending more time on IE compatibility. However, my site will not be going to a live beta until October or November, and I'm hoping that IE10 will have more features coded into it. Currently, I've written my upload page which is a "drag-and-drop files from the OS" type to simply display "IE is not supported", leaving no other option for IE users to upload pictures because I've spent so much time writing the uploader which does many things other than just upload the files. I will be changing this kinda cold "Access Denied" to a suggestion to upgrade, or install other browsers, with download links for each. Big thanks for the posts here and the interesting links!

This is how an url looks like now: **example.com/blog/post/755/hakurei-reimu-cosplay-from-touhou-by-kishigami- hana** and this is hould it will look after the change (cosplay being the dynamic main keyword of the post): **example.com/blog/cosplay/hakurei-reimu-cosplay-from-touhou-by-kishigami- hana-755/** The website is a bit more than a half year old and receives around 650k page views a month, mainly from search traffic. Of course everything would be redirected with 301 redirects. Do you think it is worth changing to a new URL structure, or will it harm the ranking in the long run?


title: Legal information on a website

text: I'm in the process of re-developing my website. We're currently a non-monetary website, funded entirely by ourselves, but we'd like to start earning some money from adverts and possibly paid content. We are a UK-based fishkeeping website (although we've had visitors from every single country in the world if you believe our Google Analytics!) with tropical fish species profiles, a Question & Answers section (similar to SE) and a discussion forum. The species profiles are written by our own author, appropriately referenced to scientific journals etc (though it's all our own prose). We also use images from photographers with their express permission and as such copyright all of our images with the copyright symbol and their name or chosen brand. **What I'd like to know is this** : In terms of privacy and legal "blurb", what information should we be displaying to our users? Do we need to protect ourselves in any way? Users will be able to register an account then post comments, questions, answers and topics. What information do we need to display in terms of Copyright?

title: How to rotate html5 canvas as page background?

text: I want to achieve the following: Image a white sheet of paper on a black desk. Then rotate the paper a little bit to the left (like, 25 degrees). Now you still have the black desk, and a rotated white box on it. In this rotated white box I want to place non-rotated normal html content like text, tables, div's etc. I already have a problem at the very first step: rotating a rectangle. This is my code so far:               <html>     <head>     <script>     function draw() {      var canvas=document.getElementById("myCanvas");      var c=canvas.getContext("2d");           c.fillStyle     = '#00';      c.fillRect(100, 100, 100, 100);      c.rotate(20);       c.fillStyle     = '#ff0000';      c.fillRect(150, 150, 10, 10);           }     </script>     </head>     <body onload="draw()">      <canvas id="myCanvas" width="500" height="500"></canvas>     </body>     </html>      With this, I see only a normal black box. Nothing else. I assume there should be a red, rotated box too, but there's nothing. What is the best approach to reach this and to have it as a (scaling) background for my web page?

text: I am doing some research to prepare some web development environment for our small(10ppl and growing) new office. User Case: For each new web project usually we create new alias on an Apache server someproject.companywebsite From my understanding in order to see this website locally for all the rest of our team(including mangers and directors) they will need to edit hosts file (e.g. "192.168.1.10 someproject.companywebsite"), and like that each time for a new project(can be 2-5 each week) Solution: And I looking for a solution how to edit this hosts file only once and distribute it over all mac machines in our network at once or much more flawlessly than poking around with each machine every time over and over again. Is that possible? Or that a very wrong way of doing that? Perhaps we better set up own local dns server and point to it our router? Though own dns server a bit concerns me because of might be some network interruption and others lags, if you know what I mean. Or perhaps there are another workflows for that? What's the best way for such things? So I'll be so grateful to hear some advices from experienced admins. I couldn't find that info on internet, so if you know where to read about it, point me in a right direction. Thank you in advance Alex

title: Is the idea of user registration flawed if we can't provide any real value for it?

text: I work in a newspaper publishing company and currently, all the contents in our site is free and no user registration is required. Recently, the lifestyle column team proposed to implement a small and simple portal where viewers can make simple suggestions as to where to dine. The team then suggested to implement a simple user registration; asking for name, email and password. Or if they do not want to register for an account; they can login with their Facebook account. This is so that they could keep track of who suggested what. However, I think this is counter-productive as we don't really provide any value in return. As the team said, they just want to keep it really simple. There will be no user control panel and they won't be doing anything with the user data such as sending promotional newsletter etc. As such is it really feasible to implement a user registration in situations like these?


title: Transition to new site

text: I'm almost finished rewriting the website for a non-profit organization. The existing site receives ~5,000 a month. The new site is being written in ASP.Net and the existing site is PHP. The current hosting provider does not support .Net hosting, so I'll be switching providers. My question revolves around the transition from the old site to the new. I would really like to get the new site up at the new hosting provider and do thorough testing before changing the DNS records for the domain. **Question:** How can I put the new site up, test it, make any changes/additions necessary before updating the domain DNS to point to the new IP **without** Google indexing the content? Also, what SEO repercussions should I be aware of when making such a drastic change to the content that exists under the domain name?

title: Tracking state of a one time event on a big website

text: Assume a website with 250 million active users. I add a new feature to the website. Once a user visits I want to use a short tutorial to teach them how to use said feature. I only want them to complete the tutorial once (or actively click it away). What is the smart way to code the verification check for this? How do I track the progress in the database? Having a separate table with like NewTutorial_completed = 1 for user_id = 21312315 would just snowball. It also feels intuitively bad to check for every one-time event for every user on every page view. While writing the question I got one idea, to have a separate event log that is checked periodically for any new action the user need to see or perform. I push events to this log and once they are completed they are removed from the log. No need to store NewTutorial_completed = 1-type variables this way. I am sure this is a common problem. I would appreciate any input on what best practice is.

title: Server-infrastructure recommendations

text: Here's the thing: I need a cheap, fast, reliable infrastructure that can dynamically scale (like Amazon S3: cloud-storage). I'm thinking of 3 different type of 'servers'.   1. Application-server     * Should be able to run CentOS (or another light Linux-distr.)     * Should be able to run Apache     * Should be able to run PHP     * Should be able to run GD (so it does rely on it's cpu).     * Should be _extremely_ reliable and fast.   2. Database-server     * Should be able to run MySQL     * Should be able to... well, do nothing else :P.     * Should be _extremely_ reliable and fast.   3. Storage-server     * Should be able to run some kind of file-transfer-deamon (like FTP, CouchDB, etc.)     * Should be able to do nothing else.     * Should be _extremely_ reliable and fast. So technically, by transferring all static data to 2 different servers/services, the application-server can totally focus on the webpages. My questions:   * What services do you recommend?   * Which is cheaper, faster and more reliable: using my own server, or using some cloud-storage/cloud-computing-service (like Amazon S3, CloudFiles, etc.)?   * How can I prevent bandwidth abuse (such as dos-attacks causing the bill to be extremely high)?   * What's the difference between "including CDN" and "excluding CDN"? It seems the price doesn't differ at CloudFiles?   * Do you have to pay "including CDN" + "excluding CDN" when you decide to enable the delivery-network? Or have you only got to pay "including CDN"?   * Should I use my own nameserver too or can I use my domain-hoster's nameservers? What are the minimum software specifications of a nameserver. Can I write some software myself? Does anyone have a good protocol-description? I hope you can answer my questions. **Answers**   * I shouldn't write my own nameserver-software. Instead, I should use something like bind. (http://osspro.com/2010/05/04/linux-create-your-own-domain-name-server-dns/).

This works with no problem; we just use something like this:               <img src="http://maps.google.com/maps/api/staticmap?zoom=15&size=512x512&maptype=roadmap&markers=color:red|label:H|42.038322,-87.680260&sensor=false" />      We are now creating a mobile site for the same client. The code itself will still work, but I'm wondering how to make sure I get a map that doesn't take over the entire screen, but is still readable. Is there a standard size that's used for mobile screens? I'm guessing with the static maps there's no way for a user to click to zoom in if we use a small size, but the regular API requires javascript and a lot of mobile browsers still don't support it. Any ideas?

title: Incorrect Google Profile Results

text: Where do Google gets the info they display along with your profile in their "Profile Results" that is shown once you hit search for a particular person? When Google shows incorrect info, there's a feedback option at the bottom and it gives you an option to report a problem on which info is wrong. However, this is a tedious task since I've already done this before and they have corrected it but then when I search again after a couple of months, wrong info is shown again. So maybe I need to correct or do something on the process of putting those info into the profile... Not sure where Google gets all these info.. Help?

text: I run a couple of websites and I have several domain names. I struggle to recommend a place for non-technical "civilians" to register a domain name though.

The sales process goes all out to load up customers with a dozen things they don't need. These days I just use one my current hosting providers. So as webmasters, where do you send your non-technical friends to register domain names? Is there a nice, simple, friendly service out there?

title: How to crawl a webPage with dynamic content added by javascript

text: I guess there is a news that Google bots have the capability to understand our javascript code. It means this is possible to fully crawl a webpage which has lazy loading feature enabled. I am using Apache Nutch to crawl websites but I don't think it has the capability to fetch the URLs being injected in HTML page by javascript when the page is scrolled down.

title: Can we preserve our old domains Pagerank but cut all ties with the old domain such that it doesn't redirect?

text: Here's the situation - a client of mine has recently changed their company name and have changed their web address. They want to completely cut all ties with their old brand, so they have told me that their old website absolutely _cannot_ redirect to the new one. The old domain has a PR of 4, so it would be nice to carry some of that authority over to the new domain. The new domain has just been registered so I'm really starting over from scratch in terms of SEO. I can't use 301 redirects and I can't link to the new site from the old one. Is there anything I can do?


title: Multiple 301 redirect and massive loss of ranking

text: I just remade from scratch a website for a client, the client ask me to preserve their ranking by making 301 redirect from the original URL to the new URL. For example the following URL: `plumber-directory.my-website.com/john-smith-city-1.php` became `directory.my-website.com/plumber/city/john-smith.html` So i put the website online for few days until the 301 partially kicks in the Google results. Then the client call me back to tell me that his boss want to switch back to the ancients URLs >_< So I put a new 301 redirect: `directory.my-website.com/plumber/city/john-smith.html` Reverted to `plumber-directory.my-website.com/john-smith-city-1.php` Because google had just few days to assimilate the new URLs, it have now the two kinds of URLs in it's own result pages. Also the ranking of the website keeps falling down every day, i suspect google to mistaking those redirects for duplicate content. Is there something i can do to avoid a total loss of rankings?

title: URI design for many-to-many relationship: advice needed

text: I'm stuck designing URIs for a many-to-many relationship between users and other resources. Specifically I'm having difficulty predicting the consequences of different approaches. Given a resources types `user` and `widget` (`user` represents a registered user), authenticated (logged-in) users have write access to all widgets and guests have read access. The user-widget relation also has data (eg. number of edits) which ideally should also be readable (thus _addressable_ ) by guests (and, as Lèse points out below, other users). Examples use integers for unique identifiers for the sake of clarity. Guests can view widget #12 at               /widgets/12      What are the implications of various possible URIs for authenticated user #34 to read/write widget #12, and optionally for a guest to read the relational data between the two? (Don't worry about giving a comprehensive answer, any observations for or against specific options would also be very valuable).               /widgets/12      (user is implicit based on authentication, no way for guest to specify user- widget relation)               /users/34/widgets/12      (both sides of the relation explicit, implicit hierarchy between resources)               /users/34/widgets/12 and /widgets/12/users/34      (same, without hierarchy)               /user-widget/34,12      (relation as resource, explicit but possibly more than the user needs to know) * * * I'm happy to give more detail or add other people's URI suggestions. Just comment if you want me to add anything.

title: Our "Contact Us" page is outperforming our "Home" page on Google

text: We're looking at how our website is performing in Google and noticing that our "contact us" page is outperforming our "homepage" for a typical search which is product+geography.               widgets dallas     widget makers dallas     widget shop texas      The reason being that the "contact us" page has the "dallas" & "texas" in our address more prominently in its text. So Google is being perfectly logical in showing this page as a priority. But the "contact us" page is far from the best page for our new customer to stumble on. It's not a _bad_ page, it's just not the best page for a new visitor to come to _first_. Our homepage is where to find our best stuff. Is there a correct solution to this problem? The obvious solution of stuffing more geographic keywords into our homepage feels a bit dirty (and anti- Google). Equally, making the "contact us" page more like our homepage is nonsensical. We don't want to detract from its job of providing "contact us" information to people who really need it, a job which it's currently doing fine.

title: Is there a search engine that indexes source code of a web-page?

text: I need to search the web for sites that are in our industry that use the same Adwords management company, to ensure that the said company is not violating our contract, as they have been accused of doing. They use a tracking code in the template of every page which has a certain domain in the URL, and I'm wondering if it's possible "Google" the source code using some bot that crawls the code rather than the content? For example, I bought an unlimited license for an image gallery, and I was asked to type the license number in a comment just before the script. I thought it was just so a human could look at the source and find out if someone paid, but it turned out that it was actually that they had a crawler looking for their source code and that comment. If it ran across the code on your site, it would look for the comment, and if it found one, it would check to see if it was an existing one. If not, it would first notify you of your noncompliance, and then notify the owner of the script. **Edit:** I'm looking to index HTML and JavaScript only, not the server-side languages or Java.

title: How to write good blog post tags

text: It seems that you have three choices in deciding how you write tags for your blog posts:   1. Make them user friendly   2. Make them highly searchable   3. Combo of the two For example, let's say that I have a blog post that has write-ups on the top 10 ipad apps for business travel (e.g., Evernote, Dragon Diction, Instapaper, etc.).   1. _User friendly tags:_ ipad apps, business travel   2. _Searchable keywords (analyzed with Google Keyword Analyzer):_ ipad apps, ipad travel apps, evernote ipad, instapaper, instapaper ipad   3. _Combo:_ ipad apps, ipad travel apps So my question comes down to this: which is really the best choice -- 1, 2 or 3? Note: this visible post tags will also serve as the meta keywords for the post page.

title: How to redirect old page link to new link when using new CMS for website

text: We are doing a new website and the current website `www.domains.com` has been running for almost 3 years and is quite visible on search engines. Now we are working on new website with multilingual features and we are also using custom cms that is developed using asp.net webform. and we have new url for which will render old url useless. for example in current website internship page can be accessed via two url `Internship` http://www.domain.com/internship/   http://www.domain.com/internship/Default.aspx and `Employment` page can also be accessed via two url http://www.domain.com/employment/   http://www.domain.com/employment/Default.aspx Now with new cms following for the above mentioned `internship` page we use following url http://www.domain.com/en/internship/1/21/internship since new website actually doen't contain folder `internship` i was thinking of creating a folder `internship` and default.aspx and make it 301 redirect from `http://www.domain.com/internship/Default.aspx` to `http://www.domain.com/en/internship/1/21/internship` is this approach correct. I looked for best approach on net and found this article which has also confused me http://moz.com/blog/save-your-website-with-redirects as it now showing any practical example. as other article save we should use 302 redirect etc... Please advise how can i make a redirect from the old website link which is `http://www.domain.com/internship/Default.aspx` TO new website link `http://www.domain.com/en/internship/1/21/internship` which basically has same contents. appreciate reply on this


title: Can anyone recommend a good SMS gateway for PHP?

text: I'm looking for an SMS gateway that has the following criteria:   * Supports sending from short codes   * Opt-in capabilities for end-user (will require user to opt in before sending message)   * Has a clean API, preferably an XML/ REST API, although SOAP is fine   * The cheaper the better Honestly, I keep searching and searching all permutations of "SMS Gateway API" etc... on Google and I can't find any great services that can support all of these criteria. There are a lot of really SEO optimized sites and I can't tell which of them are legit. I'm looking for something that will be easy and quick to implement, and none of my colleagues have any recommendations. What APIs have you used (preferably with PHP) that have gotten this job done? Which services have been the most pleasant to deal with, both technically and support-wise? **Update:** Will be sending primarily (probably solely) in the US.


title: IIS isn't propagating domain

text: I called GoDaddy and verified my settings for the two IPs as follows.               ns1.asezo.com = xx.xx.xx.15     ns2.asezo.com = xx.xx.xx.16      Then I set the NAMESERVERs of `asezo.com` to the ns1/ns2 above, which GoDaddy tech support says is right. When I try to visit my site, it says "Oops! Google Chrome could not find asezo.com". When I try to ping the website, it gives me a time out. I have the bindings in IIS for the default website as:               http - xx.xx.xx.15 - 80     www.asezo.com      and               http - xx.xx.xx.15 - 80     asezo.com      And I'm still getting nothing. I can go directly to the IP `http://xx.xx.xx.15/` and it gives me the IIS default website, I just can't get the url to propagate. What am I doing wrong?


title: Website caching (using DNS)

text: Some time ago I landed on a website that provided a paid service that caches websites. As I understood it, the only thing I needed to do was change the DNS record of my website and point it to them. Their service would check if my website is online and direct traffic to my server. In the event my server is unavailable they would provide a cached version. I'm not talking about the free publicly available Google cache/archive.org or a _dumb_ CDN solution. The problem is that I can't remember which company provided this service.

What happens if I set `rel="nofollow"` for all pagination links from page 2 to page N?

title: Open Graph object type for secondary pages in local business website

text: I'm developping a website for a local business, and I don't know what is the most pertinent `og:type` to chose for pages like "about us", "other services", "contact us" and so on... As stated in the OG doc site for the `website` type: > This object type represents a website. It is a simple object type and uses > only common Open Graph properties. **For specific pages within a website, > the`article` object type should be used**. Should the above rule be applied also for other object types? like the `business.business` type? Should I always apply the business type for all the pages or only for the home page and switch to `article` for the the other "secondary pages"? PS. My term "secondary page" maybe is a little misguiding, since those are not "secondary" as importance but only in _"logic structure"_ , so to speak. Giving the "primary page" role to the "home" page is indeed right in a logic view, but as importance for the business maybe other pages like "services", "products", "contacts" and so on, are even more important instead of the home page that should act mostly as presentation and direct viewers to the other pages of the site.

Checked the setup of my filters to make sure they are correct ## Possible issues   * This is a non-standard installation of GA which calls to multiple UA codes hosted as an external script   * Uses jQuery and there is more than one instance of jQuery being called   * Is working for other sites, this is just an odd case


title: Looking for archiver script with status

text: I have a shared hosting account and I want to create a zip (or another archive type) file from whole website. I asked the hosting support but they don't do this. Is there any php or Asp.Net script that creates an archive from folder that I can check the compression status, to know it is running and not frozen. My server has Windows Server 2003 and IIS6 with Plesk 8.6 Control panel.

title: How do sites avoid SEO issues and legalities with subdomain unique ids?

text: I was looking through a few websites recently and noticed a trend I'm not sure I understand. Sites are creating unique referral URLs for customers in the form of: `http://customname.site.com` (If somebody were to use `http://www.site.com/customname` it would function the same way). I can see the sites are using 302 redirects at some point using Google Chrome then doing some sort of htaccess redirect, taking the sub domain name (custom name) and applying it as a referral parameter then keeping in session during the entire process. However, there must be thousands of these custom URLs that people are typing in. How are each one of these "sub domains" not treated as separate URLs which in turn are redirected to the same page (in short, generating tons of links all pointing to the same page which Google would normally frown upon)? Additionally, the links also appear on the site themselves as click-able links so I'm not sure how these are not tracked. Similarly, the "unique" URL is not indexed or cached in any Google search results. **How is this capability handled?**   1. I know these are 302 redirects, I can see this on the sites network flow.   2. These links do in fact appear on the page itself because in some areas (for example, the bottom of the page may say: send this page to a friend! `http://name.site.com/` which in turn would again redirect to something like `http://www.site.com?id=name` so the id value could be stored in session


title: Does similar Titles considered duplicates relating to SEO

text: I have built a testing service and I wonder if I should be concerned that search engines will consider similar titles as duplicates. For example:   1. Some URLs title can be differed from others by only one word such as "Senior" and "Junior"      * Title A: C++ Online Test for Juniors     * Title B: C++ Online Test for Seniors         2. Another example is with the "+" sign:      * Title A: C Standard Library Online Test for Seniors     * Title B: C++ Standard Library Online Test for Seniors Should I assume search engines will understand there is a difference in the titles? And the titles are not duplicated?


title: Requests for site not hosted on my server

text: I am seeing http get requests in my servers access log for a site that is not hosted on my server and also the dns records of the site do not point to my server the domain points to 3 ip addresses in china. Anyone have any ideas as to why this would happen?


title: What is the copyright status of user-generated content on public key servers?

text: I recently set up a public OpenPGP key server in the US that synchronizes with the predominant global key pool. I now have a server on my hands containing gigabytes of user-generated content (e.g. names, comments, the keys themselves, etc.). I assume based on the commonplace of such systems that I am legally permitted to distribute that content, as that is, after all, the point of a key server. But I'm not comfortable just making that assumption. Is there a definitive explanation of the content's copyright status, or at least a similar situation involving other user-generated content to which I can make reasonable comparisons? I've skimmed the web interfaces of various key servers and have found nothing to the effect of a terms of service document. Normally with this kind of question I'd ask the primary source or distributor of the data, but as this is a decentralized dataset I'm not sure where to go. I expect that other key server operators are in the same position as myself.


title: SMTP Email volume

text: My company's application has a bulk email system, all custom built, used by our clients to send emails based on opt-ins. While doing performance monitoring during some particularly large email batch sends, we noticed that there appears to be an artificial barrier caused by our current sending mechanism (phpMailer) For a brief time we re-routed our mail through a third- party SMTP service, but realized that they weren't sending any faster than we were. Now that the sending onus is back on us, we're thoroughly testing in anticipation of a number of upcoming big clients. Assuming we improve the send rate for our mailer protocol (we're considering changing altogether to SwiftMailer) I was contemplating whether or not our SMTP server might also eventually become a bottleneck. What type of throughput are you able to achieve from your SMTP server? What considerations on SMTP sending (such as authentication, packaging, etc) might I have to reconsider when doing performance tweaks?

title: Is there any lyrics meta tag when a page contains lyrics?

text: > **Possible Duplicate:**   >  Do meta keywords have any impact on ranking algorithms? So I created a website for a friend that has a music band and for each song we have the lyrics for it. I don't want to use the word `lyrics` (if it's not necessary) because it is pretty obvious when you're visiting the site. So my question is what should I do, from my side, to let the crawlers know that when somebody is searching for `the smallest creature reboot lyrics` his official website will appear higher? Any SEO tricks for music, bands, lyrics, etc, before the whole planet is going to start linking to his website? :)


title: Do keywords relate to words on your page?

text: I'm trying to cover 1-5 products as well as a few geographic areas on each page of our company website. But I can't list each location with each product or else I'll get a huge list and search engines may penalize me. So my question is if I had the geographic locations shown on my page that we service and then just listed products in the keyword meta would search engines rank me for each product/service in the areas listed on the page? Or would it just rank me for the product/service keyword competing with the world? So I don't want to do this: EX. "Salt Lake City Cherry Cabinets, "Sandy UT Cherry Cabinets", etc etc" I want to be able to do this, but I don't know if it'll work: EX. "dark cabinets, cherry cabinets, maple cabinets" in the meta tag and then on the page list our locations and service areas for our customers, "Salt Lake City 85747, Sandy UT 83849" And then have the keywords paired with the locations in the search engine results. I know that search engines takes the pages text into account, but will it with the information above rank me if someone typed: "Salt Lake City Cherry Cabinets"? I don't know why this question was marked a a duplicate and linked to a page saying that keywords meta tags don't matter at all, but that doesn't answer my question whatsoever.


title: Is HTML meta element effective to increase a site's search ranking?

text: > **Possible Duplicate:**   >  Do meta keywords have any impact on ranking algorithms? Some sites and web developers say that meta keywords and meta description is not important and necessary to increase search ranking of a site or to be indexed while some are say reverse. Only important thing is putting sitemap.xml file to site's root ,some say. Is meta element important for search ranking?


title: default namecheap "under construction" homepage and SEO

text: I'm currently developping a site and I already purchased the domain name on namecheap. I never asked google to index it but I just discovered that I already have a result typing site:mysite.com, because namecheap put a default webpage and google found it. My problem is that I've been told that the beginning of a site on google was important because the google bot determined if the site was updating regularly to know if it had to come back often or not, the more often being of course the best. And here I missed the beginning.   * So what should I do ?   * Am I right worrying ?   * The indexed page is non-www. When my site will be ready, should I ask google to index the www one so google does as if he never indexed it ?   * Should I somehow ask google to un-index it and re-index it when it will be ready ?
