SEO Assistant

[Jack_mcs]

Google will rank a site depending on its domain name and IP (where it is hosted). If you want to rank better in your country, then the domain should be changed to denote the country.

A new version has been uloaded.

 

Fixed problem with database update when the search phase contained an apostrophe.

Fixed problem with Header Check not returning the correct status on url's with sub-directories.

 

The only files that were changes were those in the includes/modules directory so you can just replace those files to update from V 1.4 or V 1.5.

I installed SEO Assistant version 1.60 and works fine except Page Rank.

I got an error that a describe below.

That´s is the error:

 

Warning: file(http://www.google.com/search?client=navclient-auto&ch=61459219499&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&features=Rank&q=info:www.hipertech.com.br) [function.file]: failed to open stream: HTTP request failed! HTTP/1.0 403 Forbidden in /home/hipertec/public_html/loja/admin/includes/functions/seo_assistant.php on line 96

 

Warning: implode() [function.implode]: Bad arguments. in /home/hipertec/public_html/loja/admin/includes/functions/seo_assistant.php on line 97

 

Please, is there anyone who knows how can I solve this problem?

Will it be a Google blocking the site?

Or will it be a problem in configuring my store?

 

Many thanks!

I tried checking the PR of your site here and it worked OK. The line number the error is pointing at is in the Link Popularity section of the code, which shouldn't be possible if you are checking PR. I don't know what to suggest. :(

A new version has been uploaded. It has the following changes:

 

- Added code to check for session ID's in links.

- Added code to check for listings in googles supplemental index.

- Added code to disable extended time function if safe mode is in use.

- Added quick links to the various sections.

- Fixed several minor coding errors and cleaned up code.

I've tried you're new version Jack, still get the same error clicking on pagerank.

Everything else works.

[Jack_mcs]

No changes wre made to the Page Rank code in the latest version. It doesn't fail when I try checking your site here. My guess is that it is some server related setting or version.

Thanks for your work Jack. I just have some errors that you might know about. When I use the Check SID's feature and check Google .. I get this error.:

MSN and Yahoo return no errors.

 

-----------------------------

 

When I use supplemental I get this error which is caused by Google too:

If you click on the link in that failure, it will open google with the results shown. So the code is working properly but something on your server is preventing it (probably). Go to your admin->tools->server info section and check this option

allow_url_fopen

It should be On. If it isn't, you will need to ask your host to enable it.

 

Jack

[insomniac2]

Thanks for the tip. I do have that set to on in my php.ini file. Using Latest Apache on test localhost.

 

Maybe it will work itself out ... or work when I move it to active server.

I have just installed the new version of SEO Assistant version 1.7.

 

And I had the same error when I click on Page Rank button. I described below the error:

I don't have an answer for you but try this. In admin/includes/functions/seo_assistant.php, find this line

	$pr = file("http://www.google.com/search?client=navclient-auto&ch=6$ch&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&features=Rank&q=$url");

and place this after it

var_dump($pr);

Then try getting the page rank. If a line of code prints out, besides the error, post it here.

Dear Jack,

 

I tried to put the command you mention on your post and got this:

 

Warning: file(http://www.google.com/search?client=navclient-auto&ch=61459219499&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&features=Rank&q=info:www.hipertech.com.br) [function.file]: failed to open stream: HTTP request failed!

In bold you see the extra line included.

 

Can you detect anything wrong?

 

Many Thanks.

 

Carlos Costa

[Jack_mcs]

No, it is just saying the call to read in the file failed, which I already suspected. The url that is being generated appears to be correct but the checksum (61459219499) in that string doesn't appear to be. There's no way for me to troubleshoot this since it works fine here so I'm afraid I don't have any suggestions for you.

 

Jack

[carloscosta]

The trouble seems to be with checksum number.

 

What parameters is this checksum number is relationship with?

The number generated with my shop is 61459219499 and if you generate this checksum with your shop what is the checksum number you get?

 

Is it possible you post the checksum number you get to my shop (www.hipertech.com.br)?

 

If it is different, I can test with the number you get.

 

Many thanks,

 

Carlos Costa

just wanted to say 1.17 works great! and looks nice too...

Here's the output of mine when I try to test your site

http://www.google.com/search?client=navcli...ipertech.com.br

You can paste that, or yours, into a browers url string to see the result.

Hi! Jack,

 

Fantastic! Now it is OK.

The error is in the checksum generator of my shop. I got your code and put it in the seo_assistant.php as a fixed value and it worked perfectly.

 

Do you know what is the formula to generate the Google Checksum (GCH)?

Why does my shop generate a number different of yours?

 

My shop generates a number = 1459219499

Your shop generates a number = 234027593 -> Look the size is different!!!

 

Is it possible to send me a copy of your seo_assistant.php by email to compare with mine?

 

My email is [email protected] .

 

I saw some variables like GMAG = 0xE6359A60 and $a = $b = 0x9E3779B9 in the seo_assistant.php. I don´t know what is this variables, but perhaps it is necessary adjust this value to my site.

If yes, how can I calculate the right values?

 

Many Thanks,

 

Carlos Costa

[Jack_mcs]

I use the same code that I uploaded so it wouldn't make a difference to send it to you. There isn't anything specific about the code that should make it work on one shop and not another other than possibly a php version bug. Or I suppose you could have a corrupted functions file but that seems extremely unlikely.

I am getting the same error - it appears to be a google problem. When I run it locally on my development laptop - the PR function works - but when I run it from my server it does not. Some things I have found:

 

1. changing navclient-auto on like 96 of seo_assistant.php will resolve the error - but not give you a pagerank

2. if you put vardump the URL being opened, copy and paste it into your browser, you will get an error (probably because of the checksum value).

3. Using the function is actually a violation of the Google TOS:

 

No Automated Querying

 

You may not send automated queries of any sort to Google's system without express permission in advance from Google. Note that "sending automated queries" includes, among other things:

 

* using any software which sends queries to Google to determine how a website or webpage "ranks" on Google for various queries;

* "meta-searching" Google; and

* performing "offline" searches on Google.

Hi,

 

I installed this contrib a few weeks ago and like it very much - well done.

 

My only problem is that when I use the Header Status functionality I have always got the error message:

 

HTTP/1.1 500 Internal Server Error

 

I have no idea why!! anyone any ideas??

 

Thanks
