Header Tags for novices

restomusclecar · January 14, 2009

Hi Ken

Have you looked at Google Duplicate Content Manager and if so, do you have any recommendations for installing with Independent SEO Header Tags For Novices v4.00 and how to install it?

Hello,

I found this thread after an earlier post. Im a bit confused. Currently I have the full version installed and working great on the products pages and categories but

in index.php or home or top the meta tags for content and description are ""

everything else works great. can someone please help. I have tried to fix this with no luck. It seems it cannot find any data or something.

url to site is www.restomusclecar.com

Have you download the revised installation file by following the link in my signature? and you must download the contribution by following the same link. Note also that the contribution itself does not have the installation instructins so you must download it separately. Sorry for the inconvenience.

If you have done all above and done it correctly, then your home page should use the names of your categories to fill in the keywords tag, and some text, which you must change as you see fit, for the description tag.

All failed, then post the first 50 lines or so of your index.php (anything before </head> tag)

Hi Ken

Sorry, Coopco. I only realised you posted this question after reading restomuscleca's post.

My answer is NO. I dont see there is any need for the so called duplicate content 'manager', and I dont believe there is such things as duplicate contents if you submitted google sitemaps to SEs, google in this case. from google webmaster tools, you may see some duplicate title tag, or keyword tag or desc tag but that's the mistakes you made and you can simply chnage them so that there is no same title, keywords etc. I dont really know what people are talking about by duplicate content? even google advises people should be happy & relax if you are deliberately creating duplicate contents to get advantage then you should be fine. if you do want to get rid of 'duplicate contents' caused by what google terms as 'parameter urls' ie, those with, eg, a question mark ? in it, index.php?currency=blabla, googles recommedation is to use robots.txt to tell google to block indexing those urls.

i tend to think there is people who are trying to find ways to optimise sites but at the same time add loads of useless functions/scripts to it, which is kind of strange.

But that's my own opinion albeit i believe it is true based on my observation of real world examples.

Downloaded the most current version of instructions. And tada!!!! I filled in my default text and it works. It appears the only diiference is in the index.php file I changed the other reference to <title>

to

<title><?php echo (strlen($title_tag) > 1) ? $title_tag . ' - ' . TITLE : $title_home_default . ' - ' . TITLE; ?></title>

and then I replaced the

} else {

$category_depth = 'products'; // category has no products, but display the 'no products' message

}

with the proper coding supplied in your instructions.

The only problem I see now is the keywords on the product page has no commas on the keywords.

any help would be greatly appreciated

1. next time do not post page source. anyone can see your page source from your site if needs be. and in this case, it does not help at all, and not the whole source code of a file either - no one would read it as it is very difficult to read outside a proper php editor;

2. instead, you only need to post anything between [head] and [/head] section from the file concerned.

Sorry Like I said im new. I went over the version 2 install and changed the file in product_info and it works now but no commas at all in keywords content. Any suggestions?

GemRock · January 14, 2009

my suggestion is "post anything between [head] and [/head] section from the file concerned", which is a repeat request.

sorry but no that's not the bit. you'd post the [head] - [/head] part of the product_info.php. page source will not help in any way or shape.

i can see youve done it correctly. reason why there is no comma is because by default it uses the product name as keywords, and since there is no comma in your product name so neither does the keyword tag. there is no other way than that you enter your custom keywords for each product/category at admin - header_tags_edit.php/header_tags_category_edit.php. for your store, i think probably two hrs work would finish it. it is still quite easy. you could also preview your edit/entry by clicking on the product/category name from the same page at admin.

Good Luck!

btw when you customize your title/keyword/desc tags, do not enter the same text for different pages/products. be creative. do not just copy & paste from top row to the last row!

Ken

Being lazy :rolleyes:

Do i honestly need to insert commas?

Is it that important?

P.S. Thank you for your time today. You are greatly appreciated.

GemRock · January 14, 2009

google for one would ignore the keyword tag but use the desc tag to tell what the page is about. so do your resaerch and make up your mind.

January 15, 2009

Sorry, Coopco. I only realised you posted this question after reading restomuscleca's post.
My answer is NO. I dont see there is any need for the so called duplicate content 'manager', and I dont believe there is such things as duplicate contents if you submitted google sitemaps to SEs, google in this case. from google webmaster tools, you may see some duplicate title tag, or keyword tag or desc tag but that's the mistakes you made and you can simply chnage them so that there is no same title, keywords etc. I dont really know what people are talking about by duplicate content? even google advises people should be happy & relax if you are deliberately creating duplicate contents to get advantage then you should be fine. if you do want to get rid of 'duplicate contents' caused by what google terms as 'parameter urls' ie, those with, eg, a question mark ? in it, index.php?currency=blabla, googles recommedation is to use robots.txt to tell google to block indexing those urls.

i tend to think there is people who are trying to find ways to optimise sites but at the same time add loads of useless functions/scripts to it, which is kind of strange.

But that's my own opinion albeit i believe it is true based on my observation of real world examples.

Ken

OK Ken, thank for the detailed answer.

Just a note: I use the all products addon and have found that header tags were not being done on that page (at least not by header tags for novices), so I have manually placed the code in the allprod.php file.

sorry but I dont think i understand the allproducts thing: if you have submited (and you should) google sitemaps, which would include all your products, then why you bother about that? I think you should instead block google to index, or politely, tell google not to index, that file by all means - thats a complete duplicate, IMO. the more time google has to spend on your site, the fewer urls it could index. i guess it would tell itself that times up, lets go! there's still zillion sites to crawl! if cant finish by dawn, will have a hard time back at Mountain View...etc

Hi there

I tried installing this contribution and ran into serious problems when halfway through second stage due to big differences between my index page and the page being quoted in the installation instructions. Should I just reset my index to a standard template to fix this or are there more than one index versions floating around?

Regards

Brent

gameuniverse · January 15, 2009

Hi there

Ok I have got past the installation phase - I did that very carefully, however when I go to Admin/Catalog to view "Product Meta Tags or

Category Meta Tags" section, I get the following error message:

Internal Server Error

The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request.

Please contact the server administrator, webmaster@gameuniverse.co.nz and inform them of the time the error occurred, and anything you might have done that may have caused the error.

More information about this error may be available in the server error log.

Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

Apache/2.2.10 (Unix) mod_ssl/2.2.10 OpenSSL/0.9.8i DAV/2 mod_auth_passthrough/2.1 mod_bwlimited/1.4 FrontPage/5.0.2.2635 Server at gameuniverse.co.nz Port 80

How do I fix this so can edit individual categories and products?

Kind regards

Brent

GemRock · January 15, 2009

this is a very general error msg and does not help at all. you should state what you have done at the admin RE this contrib and what/where actually you click, and more crucially, what shows in the browser address bar (you can hide the admin folder name in the url if you dont want to publish it) by posting it here. if everything mentioned seems fine then perhaps post the first 10 lines or so of your configure.php (the one at admin).

gameuniverse · January 16, 2009

Dear Ken

Thanks for your reply

My website homepage URL is www.gameuniverse.co.nz

When you click on a button the following message comes up

Address Not Found

gameuniverse.co.nzdir_ws_adminproduct_info.php could not be found. Please check the name and try again.

The browser could not find the host server for the provided address.

* Did you make a mistake when typing the domain? (e.g. "ww.mozilla.org" instead of

"www.mozilla.org")

* Are you certain this domain address exists? Its registration may have expired.

* Are you unable to browse other sites? Check your network connection and DNS server settings.

* Is your computer or network protected by a firewall or proxy? Incorrect settings can interfere with Web browsing.

I am really in over my head on this so any help is greatly appreciated.

Another problem lies in the Catalog/Product Metatags and Catalog/Category Metatags. When I try open this section in admin panel the following message is given:

Internal Server Error

The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request.

Please contact the server administrator, webmaster@gameuniverse.co.nz and inform them of the time the error occurred, and anything you might have done that may have caused the error.

GemRock · January 16, 2009

i think you may have misplaced the two configure.php files, ie, the one that should have been in the admin side now is in fact at the catalog side, and vice versa. it is very easy and obvious to tell from the url: in no way you would have the dir_ws_admin in the url when browsing your shop. you only need 5 minutes of carefully checking to solve the problem.

there is a BIG difference between configure.php and configuration.php, and i did not mentioned the latter, so why you post that file for what? so be careful. i know you are new to this but being new could also be careful.am I right?

Ken

GemRock · January 16, 2009

further to my post above, if you follow the new instruction to install the contribution then there is no need to touch the configure.php files at all. so your shop's current problem is not caused by my contribution.

This may not have been caused by your contribution. I had to remove Chemos Ultimate SEO's and cDynamic metatags before installing Headertags for Novices

GemRock · January 16, 2009

the two configure.php files look fine so dont know where the dir_ws_admin in the url comes from. probably because of the template you are using. my contrib is compatible with chemo's ultimate seo urls but i don't know anything about dynamic meta tags altho general speaking there is no point to have two mate tags contribs installed in one shop at the same time. i suggest you ask some one with extensive osc experience to look into it.
