I don't see a reason why it would return that, unless that is the link. All I can suggest is you view the source of the page you are checking and search for http://.

 

Thanks. The problem was with the slideshow in header. The images were pointing to "http://" instead of an complete url to it's location.

The search results and page rank stopped working due to changes at google. I then uploaded a new version and they worked for a very short time before google made another change. I haven't had time to get back to it to see what they did so those are now broke again. The new forum software changed how the links worked. Apparently there isn't any redirection in the code to handle the old links so it fails.

Is there anything I can do to get the google ranking search working?

The main problem is that the search engines keep changing how they list the links and there's no way to automate that with the way the code is now. So you have to do a search on each one, view the source to find how they are listing the links and then change the $condition variable in the code for each one to match that. It's not difficult but it's an on-going job since they are changing them more now than before, it seems. The code can be changed to not be effected by that but it's something I haven't been able to get to.

Done and uploaded, changed the conditions but there was also an sql statement missing in the google module which prevented the list of higher ranking url from being displayed.

[Jack_mcs]

Excellent. Thanks for doing that.

[nevergiveup]

I think Google changed the code/conditions again. I installed SEO Assistant 2.3 and get no errors but the Google or MSN is not ranking/working at all on any of the SEO Assistant tools. The only one working is Yahoo. Did I miss something? or is it Google and MSN that changed?

I haven't checked it but it wouldn't surprise me.

Jack,

 

Google conditions show:

 

//$conditions = "<span class=a>(.*)</span><nobr>";

//$conditions = "<cite>(.*)</cite>";

$conditions = '/<cite>(.*)<\/cite>/i';

$conditions = '/<nobr>(.*)<\/nobr>/';

 

 

Is that right?

 

Thanks for any help you may have

Jack,

 

right now Google conditions reads:

 

//$conditions = "<span class=a>(.*)</span><nobr>";

//$conditions = "<cite>(.*)</cite>";

$conditions = '/<cite>(.*)<\/cite>/i';

$conditions = '/<nobr>(.*)<\/nobr>/';

 

 

Is that right?

 

Thanks for any help you may have

I don't know. You need to go to google, do a search, view source and look at the code surrounding the domain name. Then that code is used and (.*) is used instead of the domain name.

SEO_Assistant V 2.3 was installed. I can add description, keywords and title to the products through admin/catalog/categories. So far so good, but when I want to check the tags with Firefox's Developers Toolbar, I will see in the field where the tag content should be displayed only: Default Content goes here... .

 

What can I do to get the content? :blink:

[Jack_mcs]

I think you may have your contributions confused. SEO Assistant is just a monitoring tool. It doesn't add any tags.

Please advise thanks

Those are all server related errors. Some hosts won't allow fopen/fclose calls since they see them as a security problem. The code is written to use curl, which is the alternative, so if that is the problem, you're out of luck. You will need to ask your host to see if the reason for the failures is due to their settings. If they are, they may enable them for you.

Many thanks for that Jack..., I need to check something. I spoke to my host and they said I need to upgrade my PHP version to 5, that will clear the issue..., I presently have version 4.4.9. I can easily upgrade!

 

My question is..., is there a problem in upgrading with my version of OSCommerce - Version 2.2 RC2a? I seem to remember I had to have 4.4.9 to install a clean version.

 

Many thanks

This isn't a question for this support thread but the short answers are: no, you don't need to do a clean install and yes, there may be problems. You can check similar threads in general support for more details.

[mrossi]

new to this module seems to have installed easily but i get this error in the admin

 

Deprecated: Call-time pass-by-reference has been deprecated in /usr/www/users/osc/admin/includes/modules/seo_header.php on line 30

 

and

 

Deprecated: Function eregi() is deprecated in /usr/www/users/osc/admin/includes/functions/seo_link_popularity.php on line 22

 

Think this module needs to be updates to PHP 5.3, process with caution.

 

Thanks, Matt

I have just installed this add-on and working fine. except that it is not working for Google and Msn search positions. It can however display Yahoo search positions.

[modem2.0]

Hi,

is there anyone using this contribution currently?

I've just installed this and I believe it is not working for Google and MSN.

 

I manage to change the google URL from:

case "Google": $filename = "http://www.google.com/ie?q=$query&hl=en&num=$hits_per_page&start=$i";

to

case "Google": $filename = "http://www.google.com/?#hl=en&output=search&q=$query&num=$hits_per_page&start=$i";

in admin/includes/modules/seo_position.php

but I guess I need to change somewhere else as it is still not working.

 

Any ideas?

[Jack_mcs]

The code to interpret their listings has to be changed for it to work. It takes too much time for me to keep up with that but you can do it yourself. See the previous posts regarding this.

[modem2.0]

Thanks Jack, I'll have a look.

[modem2.0]

Hi Jack,

 

is the search being saved somewhere in the server, or is there a way to do it?

Just by going to google, search something and look at the source code seems not enough, as when I do that I can't find the term I searched for in the source as most of it is javascript code...

[Jack_mcs]

You have determine how they are listing the links. You then need to change the code in the modules of this contribution to look for that code. I have code to check googles listing in Header Tags SEO that is less dependant on that and seems to continue working through their changes so if you could use the code from there, though it would not be a simple copy/paste.

[zanerv]

Hello Jack, good job with all your SEO contribution, I really apreciate the work you do for this community.

I have one request, can you please update this awsome SEO Assistant, I was using it for years and now google changed again the search string and i can't figure out a way to modify your code.

 

Regards,

zanerv

[Jack_mcs]

I would like to but I just don't have the time. It is on my list of things to do but it does not look promising for anytime soon.

[anvip]

I found and tested this code for Google, it works. But I do not know how to implement it in Seo Assistant ...
