Google search and indexing...

I have a Google related question. I changed the title tag of
a couple of my pages but google still sees the old tag. Is there a
time period before it changes or is there something I have to
do.

I skimmed through the thread in the Webmaster's forum and I would say that it all irrelevant.
All this stuff about....
"I have been told that part of the problem with the site is the the index.html file that is in the root folder of the site redirects the robots.txt file via meta refresh to Site/Home.html but the crawler does not follow meta refreshes and subsequently fails to crawl the site."
I would say your main problem is that you have committed one of the greatest SEO Sins known to webmasters - using a splash page as your Home page.
The index.html file redirects to the Home page and this is where the spiders start looking for relevant and interesting text. All they find on your Home page is one word "Welcome"!
If the text that's on your About page was on the Home page the spiders would love you and Google would be happy to include you in their search results because they would then have found something to index.
Interesting and relevant text containing your keywords is the highest priority in SEO. Don't call your Home page "Home" call it LPY-Cycles. Use keywords in the page names, headings text and caption every image and movie with descriptive keywords.
Instead of "Contact" use something like "Contact-LPY-Cycles". Get your keywords into the URLs via the page names. The page URLs are the first contact the spiders have with your website via the sitemap.xml.

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a diagnostic test. It won’t solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    The purpose of this test is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account. Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
    While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your personal files or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
    Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
    After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
    *Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault in OS X 10.7 or later, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The "Guest User" login created by "Find My Mac" is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.

  • How to stop the "minority report" type of personalized ads triggered by one's google search and appearing in the firefox browser?

    Please advise how to stop the "minority report" type of personalized advertising apparently triggered by one's google search and appearing in the firefox browser.
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == a few months ago

    If another uses the computer with their own user account, everything
    is kept separate in each users folder. Only if someone used your account
    would that be an issue.
    Sometimes a problem with Firefox may be a result of malware installed on your computer, that you may not be aware of.
    You can try these free programs to scan for malware, which work with your existing antivirus software:

  • Search and index functions don't work with merged projects

    Until this morning, the search and index functions in my RoboHelp project worked okay; I have one Main project into which I have merged more than three dozen sub-projects.  About an hour ago, I created a new sub-project and merged it into the Main project; now, it's as if the topics in my merged projects don't exist.
    Any suggestions?
    thanks,
    Lon

    So when you open the merge you see all the content, it is just the search and index not working. This must be merged CHMs as you are talking about a Favourites tab so maybe your other comment is relevant. My understanding of merged CHMs is that you do not want spaces in file names, that could be the problem.

  • Spacing in Search and Index panes

    Please could someone advise me how to add padding to the Search and Index panes? I've edited the whthost.js file to apply spacing to the Table of Contents and that worked fine. However, I've tried editing the whfhost.js and whihost.js files in the same place for the Search and Index panes respectively, but changes to these files don't affect the output.
    PS. I'm using RH8 and outputting to WebHelp.
    Many thanks

    In the Navigation Pane > Index > Setting a different color or background for the Index Input heading area topic, see the reference to image and color. However, the font stuff is there, too. Copy the skin somewhere, first, then try adding stuff like margin-bottom:5px inside the <font> tag and see what you get.

  • CS 4 vs CS 3 - Quick Search and Indexing Improvements???

    Our firm is currently using CS3 Bridge and Spotlight for image archiving and retrieval.  The indexing time is horrendous
    given the volume and size of images.  The Spotlight interface is not that intuitive and looking at solutions
    that include upgrading to CS4.  I would greatly appreciate any feedback regarding CS4 and potential
    improvements with search and indexing of images.

    As a big fan of Bridge I sure would advice you to upgrade to CS4 because it
    is a far more stable version. However I use it not for Digital Asset
    Management and I also think Bridge is still not ready for this job because
    they still have no good cache management system for it.
    It is an exclelent application for ingestion files, sorting, rating adding
    metadata renaming and start to develop in ACR. For this I use it daily to
    great satisfaction.
    However I have an archive with over 40.000 files in it and I have tried to
    use Bridge to index it. Not very succesful I have to confess.
    I recently switched from Media Expression (before Microsoft took over it was
    called iView Media Pro) to the single user version of Canto Cumulus.
    Although both mentioned DAM applications are not free they are well worth
    the money (Canto is a little more expensive but again worth the money)
    You can get a trial version for both DAM, just try them to see which will
    suit you the best.
    Also download the CS4 trial, this is certainly a good investment as you will
    discover after you have tried it
    Over 30,000 photos.

  • When I do a google search and click on a result I'm being redirected to an inappropriate site.

    I recently installed Malwarebytes due to an infection of some type. This morning I did a Google search for First Tech Fed Credit Union. When I arrowed down to the suggestion "First Tech Federal Credit union and clicked on that result, Malwarebytes said it had blocked outgoing access to potentially malicious website, 91.220.0.49 and Firefox tried to load VID Finder. The next time, it loaded cheapinsurance.com. When I clicked the back arrow, under the top result, First Tech Federal Credit Union, there's a line "Cached - Block all 67.18.150.90 results" If I repeat the process, I get a different IP address blocked and a different result. Am I the victim of a Browser Helper Object? Thanks

    Do a malware check with some malware scanning programs.<br />
    You need to scan with all programs because each program detects different malware.<br />
    Make sure that you update each program to get the latest version of their databases before doing a scan.<br />

  • When I click on a result of a Google search and then go that web site, the Back button on the toolbar is grayed out and I cannot return to the search results.

    When using FF3.6 and making a Google search, when I click on a result and then go that web site, the Back button on the toolbar is grayed out and I cannot return to the search results without going to History. This does not happen all the time; about 1/2 of the time.
    This problem is not limited to Google, but occurs with other sites as well.

    If you are talking about searches from - http://www.google.com/ - are you logged into a Google account all the time? If so, check your "Search Settings" from the "gear" in the upper-right corner of that Google search page and see if you have '''Open search results in a new browser window.''' check-marked, at the bottom of that preferences page. When that is check-marked and you have Tab options in Firefox set to '''Open new windows in a new tab instead''', you will get search results always opening in a new tab instead of the same tab. As to why that works different for "sponsored links" I don't know, I haven't seen the "sponsored links" for years now, I have a GM script that blocks those advertisements.

  • After updating to 9.0.1, I have LOTS of problems. Bookmarks, google search, and more.

    1. The icons accompanying the bookmarks in the list disappeared.
    2. The former method of ordering the bookmarks disappeared and I cannot find any new one. The list of bookmarks in the catalogue (library? I use the program in Spanish) has become incomplete.
    3. By mistake I clicked to show some bookmarks in a horizontal top bar. Now I cannot make it disappear.
    4. And suddenly the google search box disappeared, too! It had been there after the updating until a while ago, when nr 3 happened.
    What is happening here? Something must be seriously wrong, for my bank says I cannot use some of its functions that used to work fine with Firefox if I do not go back to earlier versions.

    Did you read the "Icons missing in the Bookmarks menu" in that article?
    *https://support.mozilla.org/kb/latest-firefox-issues#os=mac&browser=fx9
    Make sure that toolbars like the "Navigation Toolbar" and the "Bookmarks Toolbar" are visible: "View > Toolbars"
    *Open the Customize window via "View > Toolbars > Customize"
    *Check that the "Bookmarks Toolbar items" is on the Bookmarks Toolbar
    *If the "Bookmarks Toolbar items" is not on the Bookmarks Toolbar then drag it back from the toolbar palette in the customize window to the Bookmarks Toolbar
    *If missing items are in the toolbar palette then drag them back from the Customize window on the toolbar
    *If you do not see an item on a toolbar and in the toolbar palette then click the "Restore Default Set" button to restore the default toolbar set up

  • My browser has been infected with a virus that is not showing up in a scan. When I do a Google search and click on the desired site, I am diverted to some completely unrelated commercial site. Can this be fixed? in English

    In Firefox I did a search for Alaksen ( wildlife refuge). The search results were appropriate. Clicking on any site in the Google search diverted me to various commercial websites that were completely unrelated to Alaksen.

    Try running several malware scanners. It is best to run several as each will pick up things that the others miss. Some scanners you can try are:
    * Malwarebytes - http://www.malwarebytes.org/mbam.php
    * SuperAntiSpyware - http://www.superantispyware.com/
    * Ad-Aware - http://www.lavasoft.com/products/ad_aware_free.php

  • Search and index for child projects

    Hello I have a merged RoboHelp 9 project.  Is there a way I can setup the project so that when the user does a search, the child projects are searched as well as the master?  Is there a way that I can used the Smart Index Wizard from the master project to produce an index which includes the child projects as well as the master.  Thank you for any help you can provide.

    Welcome to our community, Steven
    Sorry for slowness, forums seem hit or miss today.
    What you are describing is exactly how a merge should operate. All projects that are part of the merge should be properly searched and an Index would work across all projects. Because of this, I'm struggling to see a need to index everything from only the Master.
    As you likely already know, the Smart Index Wizard simply scans topics and auto-maps them to keywords in whatever project you have open.
    Sorry, but there is no way I'm aware of for the Smart Index Wizard to be used from the Master and coax it to index child projects. It's an interesting thing to consider and I would heartily encourage you to submit a Wish Form to ask for this functionality to appear in a future release. You do this using the Wish Form. (link to the Wish Form is in my sig)
    Cheers... Rick

  • Bookmarks pick up most recent google search and give me an error page

    Started just recently, after an upgrade: I use the google tool bar and when I click on one of the buttons (essentially a bookmark) Firefox automatically tags on to the bookmarked URL the most recent google search. For instance http://www.google.com/search?sitesearch=analytics.blogspot.com&q=firefox&submit=Go
    This doesn't happen in Safari or Chrome, so I don't think it's a google issue. I have to close Firefox and re-start it in order to lose the unwanted tail on my bookmark. Ideas?

    It may be Kaspersky intercepting your secure connection to Gmail.
    Try to start Windows in safe mode with networking enabled to verify if this is the case.
    Do you see this problem with other secure sites too?
