Jack_mcs Posted June 22, 2008 Author Share Posted June 22, 2008 Tonight I noticed that the get index position for yahoo failed to open the remote file (google and msn are ok). Anyone else noticed this? I just tried it here and it worked OJ. Maybe yahoo was just busy when you tried it? Jack Quote Support Links: For Hire: Contact me for anything you need help with for your shop: upgrading, hosting, repairs, code written, etc. Get the latest versions of my addons Recommended SEO Addons Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GraphicServices Posted July 22, 2008 Share Posted July 22, 2008 Jack, great contribution! I just noticed one thing, it may even be mentioned in the forum, but when you use the index position with (show results), and get the results back, it looks like the domain names are truncated. Other then that, it's fabulous! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

♥joli1811 Posted August 24, 2008 Share Posted August 24, 2008 There seems to be something going on with google since I am seeing the same thing. I put in one of my sites, which consistently rank at position 1 or 2 for all three search engines and it doesn't show up on google. If I try to view the source on google the browser hangs and reports errors. So they are changing, or maybe have changed, how they list their results. Until that settles down and their code can be checked there's nothing to be done. Jack  Hi Jack Just using the SEO tool tonight which has been working great up until now but the same problem as above seems to have returned with Google is it possible they have again changed how they list their results. My site: http://designer-fashion-accessories.com search term: Chanel Designers Scarf  is at number 2 for the search term thanks to a number of your contributions and tips but today is no longer in the SEO Assistant- Index Position, search tool possibly when you have time you could run a check Thanks Quote To improve is to change; to be perfect is to change often.  Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

discxpress Posted September 18, 2008 Share Posted September 18, 2008 Hello Jack (or anyone that supports the idea) Â The following url leads to an article that talks about Google saying that no sites will be penalized for duplicate content but they will be affected. After looking in Webmaster Tools in my Google account I found that Google flagged several pages for duplicate content, titles and meta tags. Â http://www.lilengine.com/news/google-dupli...this-issue-480/ Â How can this be fixed? Is there any way to use Header Tags Controller to avoid duplicate content? Â Sounds like a job for Jack!

♥joli1811 Posted September 18, 2008 Share Posted September 18, 2008 (edited) Well the way I understood the point behind jacks contribution was to avoid these problems ( Duplicate content) within OSC.  It works.  You can virtually control every page ( couple Pseudo of pages left left out :rolleyes:) and give them individual name meta tags: etc... with this contribution avoiding these problems with Google.  For OSC users who would rather have a WWW as start instead of http:// please remember to do a rewrite ( Add TO htaccess ) in the htaccess.... which should look something like this  Options +FollowSymLinks RewriteEngine on RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^my-site\.com RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.my-site.com/$1 [R=permanent,L]  The above example is when your site is www.my-site.com  if you would rather have http://my-site.com  Options +FollowSymLinks RewriteEngine on RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^my-site\.com RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://my-site.com/$1 [R=permanent,L]  Then go to Google webmaster and verify   Hello Jack (or anyone that supports the idea) The following url leads to an article that talks about Google saying that no sites will be penalized for duplicate content but they will be affected.

There's a thread here dealing with this subject and a contribution has come about due to it. Although, as I mentioned in that thread, I think it is a non-issue. If having the other pages listed as not part of the group of duplicate content pages is important to you, then you would need to add something to those pages to prevent that. But that's not a subject for this thread. Jack Quote Support Links: For Hire: Contact me for anything you need help with for your shop: upgrading, hosting, repairs, code written, etc. Get the latest versions of my addons Recommended SEO Addons Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was simply giving the link to the article to get a better understanding for myself and others who may be intimidated by Google's policies on duplicate content. After installing this contribution and Header Tags SEO, I'm more comfortable about the content of my pages. I believe it solved my duplicate content issue. One thing is for sure, SEO is an going process. Maybe after Googlebot crawls my site again some of the flagged pages would get 'de-flagged'.  The contribution you referred me to is kind of vague in its purpose to me or my lack of knowledge of SEO could be the factor. I may install and draw my own conclusion. I installed SEO Assistant and none of my pages are in the supplimental index so I believe my rankings in search results have suffered due to Lack of content and lack of keyword distribution.  I installed both SEO Assistant & Header Tags SEO. Great work.  Please forgive me for sounding like a dunce in my previous post. I was just alarmed. Thanks for responding. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Google being the leading SE, most SEO efforts and modifications are built around Google's policies. Maybe one day you could place a feature in SEO Assistant first that could find which pages are flagged by Google as Duplicate Content. Â This may help others: Â Log in to your Google account if you have one and go to Webmaster tools. Â Click on the website for which you have submitted a sitemap. Â Once there, click on 'content analysis'. Â If you have any pages flagged for duplicate content, they would be found there. Â Â At the moment I have pages flagged for duplicate meta descriptions, short meta descriptions, missing title tags, and duplicate title tags. Â I included this information so it may help someone solve these isses they may be experiencing. Â Also, hopefully Jack can add features to both Header Tags SEO and SEO Assistant to help us out with these issues. Â Thanks for any help and comments.

Jack_mcs Posted September 20, 2008 Author Share Posted September 20, 2008 It's better to post tips like this in the tricks and tips forum since more people would be likely to see it. Â As for SEO Assistant and duplicate content pages, there's no simple way to check that via the contribution since it is not something google lists. A few checks can be done via the code and the difference may be duplicate content pages but they may not be either so I don't see that that provides much useful information, whch is why I haven't added it. The supplemental pages option can be used for about the same purpose though.
