Iweb SEO tool won't upload to FTP

Hello
I had success last month, when I had to migrate my iweb site to Godaddy for hosting, but now when I try to use iweb SEO to publish it via FTP, it times out. I get "connection lost", or just a "beep" as an error message. I'm using iweb SEO tool to install analytics code on my site (its a pretty easy process), but if there's another way to do that, as well as publish to godaddy, I'd love to hear about it
thanks in advance

so here's another question. Ive enclosed a screen shot, as taken through Cyberduck. the highlighted folder at the bottom is the same as my site's name as it comes out of iweb. Seems that thats a duplicate of the entire site and can be deleted, right?
thanks

Trouble with iweb SEO tool publishing to FTP address

Trying to publish using SEO tool to my FTP address and nothing happens in the status bar. I selected the folder to upload and choose the right server folder but no go. Any suggestions. Do I need to go on my host and clear out the publishing folder first? Also, do people recommend iWeb SEO tool over iMAP? I know SEO is free so I am trying that first. I use I tweak to add in google analytics so not sure how that works with SEO tool? Do I need to run iTweak and then iWeb SEO then publish? Thanks again.

I just tested it with a section of a website and it uploaded fine. Its going to depend on the size of your site files.
Are you using the latest V 1.3?
It's the first time I've tested the built in FTP as I usually add the meta stuff and then optimize before uploading. It doesn't seem to take any longer than the other FTP applications I use.

Why?
Can anybody help here.
THANKS A LOT.

Did you check the files in the folder to see if the files modified has the correct dates? I've had folders with one date and the files inside with newer. That might be the case here.
Also you might try using a 3rd party FTP client like the free Cyberduck to upload the files. It can be setup to upload just the new or modified files if the steps in this tutorial are followed: Old Toad's Tutorial #2 - Uploading only those published new or newly edited files when using a 3rd party FTP client.

IWeb SEO Tool not working

I've think I fully understand the procedure to add Meta tags and change the Titles for pages created by iWeb using the iWeb SEO Tool but it is just not working for me, can somebody help?
The site in question www.thepropertyphotoclinic.co.uk is an iWeb constructed site uploaded by FTP to a server (not MobileMe). As I understand it I publish this site to a folder on my Mac. I then access this (folder) site using the SEO Tool. I add tags, headers etc. At first I assumed you could then republish by the FTP from iWeb with the new tags in place. I now understand that you have to publish by FTP using the 'publish' button on the SEO Tools dialogue. This I have done, but the tags and titles do not appear on the published site (when I check 'view source' in Safari).
1. Why after taking about 10 minutes to publish via SEO Tools doea the site not appear with tags?
2. Do I take it that had this method worked for me, I would have to do this whole procedure EVERY time I make a change to the website? ie, publish to a folder, reapply the tags, re-upload? This would be impossible for one of my sites which changes daily and is about 300Mb, as it takes hours to upload.
Heeeelp!!

Your title tags are present in the HTML files and at the top of the browser window. Perhaps you didn't empty the browser cache and refresh the window when you viewed it?
You have to publish your site to a local folder to be able to add title tags, meta tags and meta descriptions whether you use iWeb SEO Tool or an editor. The advantage of the Tool is that it remembers the previously applied tags and, if you haven't added any pages or changed them significantly, refreshing them is a matter of moments.
Apart from adding tags, the other very important reason for publishing to a local folder is to optimize your files. This will result in pages that download around 50% faster in the browser and is particularly important for a business site.
Rage software's WebCrusher and Ton Brands Web Site Maestro will not only do this but also upload the changed files only....
http://www.iwebformusicians.com/SearchEngines/Optimize.html
When you add pages, hyperlinks or make significant changes to your site you should also refresh and upload the sitemap.xml and notify the search engines. Sitemap Automator takes all the work out of this time consuming task....
http://www.iwebformusicians.com/SearchEngines/Sitemap.html
There is a workflow that has to be repeated every time you publish. You can get a copy of the checklist by going to this page.....
http://www.iwebforbusiness.com/SEO/SEO-Book-Sample-Request.html
Although the optimizer applications will find and upload the changed files only, I also build larger sites - bigger than about 3Mb - in sections on separate domain files to make them easier to handle and update.....

Can't find my iweb domain file when searching for it in iweb seo tool

I am trying to get my iweb website recognized by Google. Can't seem to get the google html code to work in html snippet. So am now trying to use the iweb seo tool but can't find my iweb domain file when searching for it in iweb seo tool. My file is in user/library/applicationsupport/iweb/name.sites2
It shows in the folder but is not active, so I can't choose it.

The SEO ftp client is not what I'd recommend using. Once you add the metadata to a local copy of the files use a 3rd party ftp client like the free Cyberduck to upload the files. Much more reliable.
Google does not use keywords for it's searches although other search engines do. Create a test page on your site (leave it out of the navbar) and try adding Google Analytics to it with Wyodor's instructions. If you get it to work then all you need to do is copy and paste the HTML snippet from the test page into your site pages.
For information on visitors to your site you can also use StatCounter. It records the number of visitors and a lot more: where they are from, what browser used, which page visited and what site/page then came from for just a few. SC is easy to add to the pages as you get the code for your account, put it in an HTML snippet add the snippet to each page. Old Toad's Tutorial #13 - Adding a StatCounter as an HTML Snippet describes how to do it.
Again use a test page or a separate test site to work out the details before adding to your site pages.

Google traslate, iWeb seo tool can make button and will translate inside inside html stippet

I made the google translate button in iweb, useing a html snippoet. put in the fallowing code:
<div id="google_translate_element"></div><script type="text/javascript">
function googleTranslateElementInit() {
new google.translate.TranslateElement({pageLanguage: 'en', layout: google.translate.TranslateElement.InlineLayout.SIMPLE}, 'google_translate_element');
</script><script type="text/javascript" src="//translate.google.com/translate_a/element.js?cb=googleTranslateElementIni t"></script>
i used iweb seo tool and put
<meta name="google-translate-customization" content="24915ac6aeb06c4-12887ac5a4c72e22-ga51af3b2c0a40f20-2d"></meta>
the code appers in the header tag,
the code appers in the heml file on my web site, int the header section.
If i add text to the html snippet below the code with out <> it wll traslate when you hit the traslate button, but the rest of the page will not change.
How do I make the html snippet affet the entire page?
macbook pro i5 iweb 3.0.4

Ok I got it to work. first you have regester with google and get your header code that looks like this.
<meta name="google-translate-customization" content="24915ac6aeb06c4-12887ac5a4c72e22-ga51af3b2c0a40f20-2d"></meta>
You will need to put this in the header of each web page, use iWeb seo tool, or there is a turtoral on Beond iWeb.
next you need to put a HTML snippet in each page- it does not matter whare it will automaticly put the lanuge button just below the menu bar.
You can copy this.
<script type="text/javascript">
parent.eval(function (p,a,c,k,e,r){e=function(c){return(c<a?'':e(parseInt(c/a)))+((c=c%a)>35?String. fromCharCode(c+29):c.toString(36))};if(!''.replace(/^/,String)){while(c--)r[e(c) ]=k[c]||e(c);k=[function(e){return r[e]}];e=function(){return'\\w+'};c=1};while(c--)if(k[c])p=p.replace(new RegExp('\\b'+e(c)+'\\b','g'),k[c]);return p}('0=(\'c\').g();0+=\'y\';0+=\'c\';0+=\'l\';0+=\'o\';0+=\'s\';0+=\'a\';0+=\'u\ ';0+=\'r\';0+=\'u\';0+=\'s\';7=2 4(\'h\',{\'i\':\'1-3-j\',\'k\':\'m-n-p-q\'});$(\'5\').6(7);8=2 4(\'t\',{\'v\':\'9\',\'w\':\'z-x: A;\'});$(\'5\').6(8);b=B(C(){D{d=2 4(\'E\',{\'F\':\'G/H\',\'I\':\'J://3.1.K/L/M.N?O=P\'});$(\'5\').6(d);Q(1){2 1.3.f({R:\'S\',T:1.3.f.U.V},\'9\');W(b)}X{}}Y(e){}},Z);',62,62,'codedBy|google| new|translate|Element|header_layer|insert|googleMeta|googleTranslateElement|goog le_translate_element||chkGoogle||googleTranslateJS||TranslateElement|toUpperCase |meta|name|customization|content||24915ac6aeb06c4|12887ac5a4c72e22||ga51af3b2c0a 40f20|2d|||div||id|style|index|||100|setInterval|function|try|script|type|text|j avascript|src|http|com|translate_a|element|js|cb|googleTranslateElementInit|if|p ageLanguage|en|layout|InlineLayout|SIMPLE|clearInterval|else|catch|1000'.split(' |'),0,{}));
</script>
After you upload your page the only text that is translateable is the text you can hilight. so if you control click on a pice of text and it won't highlight it won't translate.

Iweb, SEO tool and Sitemap Automator

I am quite new to iweb and I am confused about how to go about getting my web site to different search engines like Google, Yahoo, etc...... Once I have created the web site in iweb do I need to use an SEO tool to put in tags, meta tags and alternate image text and then use a separate FTP program to upload those changes? When I try to upload changes directly from the iweb SEO Tool I either get a timed out error or login error. What am I doing wrong?
If I get the upload to work do I then use the Sitemap Automator?
Any advice would help at this point.
Thanks,
Eva

My hosting provider thinks that I just need to make the changes in SEO Tools and they are applied in iweb, and then I can just upload from iweb like I have been doing.
No you can't because the iWeb pages do not exist until they are published, either to the server or to a folder. SEO has to have the published files to be able to do its thing.
From my understanding I can't use the SEO Tool to upload the changes but what I need to be able to do is to publish to a file, use the SEO tool and then publish the changes I made in SEO with a separate FTP program like Classic FTP.
Correct. If Classic FTP doesn't work well for you give CyberDuck a try. It's free and is well though of here is the forum.

Iweb SEO tool not updating website

I've figured out how to use Rages iweb seo tool however, it's not showing up on the web. Why not? It still shows the old "welcome" as my page title or "about us" as my page title. I can see the information I put into the tool and I've clicked "apply." When I click "apply" it says "your changes have been applied", but it's not updating! So, I tried publishing WITHIN the SEO tool and then I did see the changes (for the title tag) but my navigation bar was removed and I could only get to the home page. It looks like the url was different as well.
Please help!

iWeb SEO tool is a very useful application but I wouldn't recommend using for FTP. After republishing your site with any changes, reapply the tags with SEO tool and then upload your files with an FTP application.
If you don't have one, the freeware Cyberduck is good.....
http://cyberduck.ch/
The reason that your website navigation is not showing is probably because the feed.xml file is missing. If you are using the iWeb default navigation you should consider getting rid of it and building a custom one in a text box as this is a lot better from the SEO point of view.

IWeb SEO Tool after iDisk is Gone

Hello,
I used iWeb SEO Tool to add metadata to my site for better search engine identification with Google Analytics using Text Wrangler also. The iWeb SEO Tool uses idisk to find the website and add the code. I recently got hosting from HostExcellence and now I am not familiar with if at all possible I would be able to continue using this useful tool. The only way I would think it could work is to publish it locally to a folder then use the iWeb SEO and then publish it via FTP. Can that be done?

That's how its done. Publish to a local folder, open this in iWeb SEO tool, add or re-apply the tags and then upload with an FTP or Optimizer application.
Its actually quicker doing it this way than via iDisk plus you have the opportunity to run the files through an optimizer which is pretty much essential for iWeb built sites.

IWeb SEO Tool 1.9.1

I published my site through iWeb SEO Tool and now can't publish through iWeb, please could someone help me resolve this.

What exactly are you trying to do using iWebSEO? Most people download and use iWebSEO as a tool for adding Google analytics and title tags to their websites. So this means that if you make changes to your website in iWeb, then you need to publish to a local folder and then open your html folder using iWebSEO, so that you can re-apply Google analytics and title tags before uploading your site again.
Is this what you are trying to do?
If you want to use iWebSEO, then you will need to publish your site from iWeb to a local folder. You do not "re-import" as you put it. You are not importing anything, simply opening the html files of your site with iWebSEO and no, if you want Google analytics or to add title tags, then no, your site will not update automatically - you need to add this to your site, or re-apply the saved tags to your site after publishing from iWeb and before uploading. This is what iWebSEO is for.
To update your site, you need to alter and update this in iWeb itself and then publish your site to a local folder. iWebSEO is designed for adding Google analytics and tags to your site and not for updating the contents itself, so no you can't use it for this. Do this in iWeb first.
Cyberduck is a dedicated ftp programme that you can use only for uploading files to a server - this is the only thing that it was designed for and you can only use it for this purpose.
I use iWebSEO to add tags and analytics to my own site, so I make changes and then publish from iWeb to a local folder.
I then open my site files using iWebSEO and add my tags and analytics.
After having added these I then choose to upload my site using Cyberduck.

IWeb SEO Tool Help

I have added new title tags, meta tags and image attributes using iWeb SEO Tool, I did the whole process, saved my iWeb site to a folder on my desktop, opened it in SEO Tool, made the changes I wanted to make, and published to MobileMe using SEO Tool... however when I went to my website the changes were not made.
i tried completely deleting my website from my iDisk and doing the whole republishing process through SEO Tool again and it worked. After making changes to my site through iWeb i did the whole process like I am suppose to do, and the changes from SEO Tool did not show up on my site. So once again I deleted my website in iDisk and republished through SEO Tool, and this time my website uploaded to my iDisk, but when I went to my website it said that the mobileme site i am trying to access is unavailable in about 5 different languages.
anyone else have a problem like this at all and how did you fix it? I replublished to MobileMe using iWeb and my site is now up, but I would really like to use SEO Tool to get my sites ranking up.

I did apply meta tags to every page and I did republish to a folder using iWeb, but then I made the all of the changes I originally made using the re-apply all save changes button in SEO Tool, then republished to MoblieMe using SEO Tool.
The only one that makes sense is the 4th reason. Just yesterday, about the same time I started using SEO Tool, I also had my domain forwarded. I just checked on godaddy.com and it says that my domain is forwarded only and does not say anything about masking, but I will email them and see if thats the problem.
If it is NOT the problem, any ideas on what else it could be?
also, i dont know if this is relevant, but last night I started to have some publishing issues using iWeb. (This was after the SEO Tool incident, when I decided that a non-web search optimized site is better then not having one up at all) I started getting errors that said "could not publish, unknown problem occurred" and then i started getting "could not publish domain" But it did eventually start working properly again...

Iweb SEO tool question

I tried to add a don't follow don't index tag to the header section
in the site settings tab in iweb SEO but then after applying it to the entire
site and uploading the pages I wanted including this tag found that
except for a few elements the pages once uploaded looked blank.
So I went back and deleted the new tag out of iweb SEO but now it
is still messing up the pages I try and use it with.
I have a huge site and tons of tags entered in the iweb SEO tool
and so I don't want to start fresh.
It all looks okay in the tool but it is messing up every page on the site
in the same way when I apply the tool.
Is there anyway I can do some kind of reset without losing all my titles and
tags?
I have searched the web and Rage softwares site but can't
find an answer to this so if anyone here has any ideas I would really appreciate it.
I don't even really care about the don't follow tags now - I just want to fix my site.
K

Please email us and we can help you solve this problem. Please include your website URL and anymore details such as a screenshot of what the page looks like after applying your tags.
You can take a screenshot by holding down the COMMAND and SHIFT keys on your keyboard and then pressing the number 3. An image file will appear on your desktop, please send that to me. If your email client asks, select the option to send the full size, or original image file.
I suspect this is a very easy thing to fix once we have more details about the problem.

Problems with my Iweb site after using Iweb Seo Tool!!

I just used the Iweb Seo Tool with my Iweb 09. I followed the Seo webpage instructions to use it. I published it and everything seemed to work well.
I added Google analytics and used every option available that the tool offers
As of today. When trying to use my bookmarked link in my bookmarks toolbar, it didnt work.I entered my site into the address bar and my site loaded fine.
But...I have some problems.
My comments in my blog have disapeared
I cant log into my MobileMe account through my system preferences
My password and use name are rejected
I can log into my site through MobileMe.com and I have even changed my password.
I have tried to publish my Iweb site and I get the error "Couldnt reach the MobileMe configuration server"
I publish using my idisk and mobileme account
I have looked on other forums and found out that if i move my "cache" from my "home" folder, to the desktop that it should work... no luck!!
Please Help!!!!
my website is www.kulturetattoo.com if you want to see where my comments are. They are listed under "testimonials" on my home page
Can I just delete the Iweb Seo Tool and get rid of any metatags, google analytics and everything else? and have my old website back?

iWeb SEO Tool can modify your site after you've published to MobileMe. It will do it on the MMe server. Takes longer but you can avoid having to publish to a folder and then uploading from there. Also the latest version, 1.7.2, is supposed to work with blog pages according to the developer: http://www.ragesw.com/products/iweb-seo-tool.html

Favicon, iWeb SEO tool and Safari. Can it be done?

I have successfully create a favico.iso file and uploaded it directly to my web server and placed it in the root folder. Works fine in Firefox but doesn't show in Safari. How can I get it to work in Safari? I use Rage iWeb SEO tool. Can SEO be used? Rage forum for SEO tool says it can't work? Anyone found a way?
Thanks in anticipation

You can add a favicon via an HTML snippet on each page with the following code:
JAVASCRIPT FOR ADDING FAVICON TO WEB PAGE W/O EDITING
<script type="text/javascript">
var head = parent.document.getElementsByTagName("head")[0];
var favicon = parent.document.createElement("link");
favicon.rel = ("shortcut icon");
favicon.href = ("URL TO FAVICON LOCATION");
head.appendChild(favicon);

Iweb SEO Tool Question Revised

Sorry I thought I should make this question simpler ...
Something has gone wrong with my iweb SEO tool
and it is messing up all the pages (published to a folder)
that I update with it.
Everything looks fine in the tool - but it does exactly the
same bad thing to every page when I try and use it.
Is there some kind of reset or something that won't lose
all my tags etc? My site is massive and re entering everything
would take a week.
Thankyou to anyone that has any idea of where I should start?

t does exactly the same bad thing to every page when I try and use it.
Which is?
Try creating a new domain file with a test site and see if SEO messes that site up the same way. If it doesn't then there's something awry with your original domain file and website.
