Help with finding my site in google?

hi all i have my site up and running and think i have it indexed?
im after a bit of help regarding how people search for it? for example the website is for my turfing company based in essex called Unique Lawns. i need to know how i go about keywords so if someone was to type in google "turf laid in essex" my site would appear?
my site is here if you need to look into the code etc: http://www.uniquelawns.com/
i can find my site in google by typing unique lawns usualy in the top 6-7 on the first page which i think is pretty good as i only submitted it a few days ago, i have been reading about META keywords which im a bit confused about as some say they dont work in google?
im just after some advice as to how i can get my site found when typing in keywords related to my site,
also are google adwords any good as i have a free £50 voucher that came with my hosting?
many thanks for any help

If, as you say, some of your pages have been indexed by Google, chances are all pages have been indexed..... including the phrase:
"turf laid in essex"
A quick Google search returns
About 1,440,000 results
for that phrase...and I'll bet your's in there somwhere!
Why even the mention of
"turf laid in essex"
has this Adobe post listed 4th position, first page... saying the post was added 17 minutes ago....
so remember, in that 1,440,000 results, there are a lot of sites... all wanting to be on the first page... so why did the Adobe post make it and your site did not?
Look at the time the Adobe Forum has been around... so you have to consider time.
Look at the massive amount of quality content on the Adobe site... how does your site compare?
Look at all the other inbound links that the Adobe Forum has built up over all those years? How about your site?
Don't be discouraged, Google "SEO Princliple" and topics like that... TONS of info available.
Just remember that pretty much everyone in those 1,440,000 results want to be first page... so competition can be stiff... review and build on sound SEO principles and don't expect it happen overnight.
Best wishes,

Help with Find / Replace button title tag contents (text)

Hi there,
I designed my site with Sitegrinder (Medialab) –
Currently all the title tags generated for buttons are the same as
the actual html page name.
The problem with this is that the tooltip which appears in
browsers when you hover over the button with the mouse gives you
the page name. Instead I want to use these tooltips to give the
user an indication of what the function of the button is.
An example: A zoom button above an image: Currenty the
tootlip says “zoom imagename pagename” – Instead
it should say “click here to zoom”.
I need help to get the Dreamweaver Find and Replace tool to
batch replace these tags for me for about a 100 pages.
Here is an example of the code:
<body>
<div id="id1zoomimpastooilweddingbutton"><a
href="zoomimpastooilwedding.html"
title="zoomimpastooilwedding"></a></div>
I only want to replace the text in the title tag - Since the
text “zoom” appears several times in the body, I
can’t get the Find tool to pick up and Replace the occurrence
of “zoom” in the title only…….
Options I’ve tried:
Search Current document: Search for: “specific
tag”: “title”, “containing”:
“text” = zoom (I’ve tried this with
“zoomimpastooilwedding” and zoom[^”]* with no
results
I’ve also tried: Search for: “specific
tag”: “body”, “containing”:
“specific tag” “title”
“containing”: “text” = zoom
etc……………..
I need help with what parameters to enter in order to find
and replace all the text within the title tag with my own text
Thanks very much!
Anton

You have ~ 100 pages, each of which has images with title
attributes (not
tags), all of which BEGIN with the letters "zoom"?
What do you want to replace that text with? Wouldn't it be
different for
each button? Or do you mean that you would do multiple
sitewide searches,
one for each button? This illustrates how wrong it is to not
use DW
Templates or server-side includes to simplify the management
of your
navigation elements....
Did you ask Medialabs if it would be possible to specify this
before
generating the HTML?
How did you like working with SiteGrinder? It looks like a
nice product to
me, although I'm not fond of the final results code-wise....

How to help an image-based site's Google indexing?

I've a client whose site, due to budget and time constraints, is made up mostly of images. It's not a high-traffic site, but it's a site whose target audience requires more visual "wow" than most. I am prefacing with this because I just know someone's going to say "use more text" and that's not what I'm here asking about.
Instead, my question has to do with Search Engine Indexing of sites made up mostly of images. Perhaps Flash-based sites have the same problem, but I don't believe in those. The site in question has no Flash. It's 100% valid HTML markup, only that it's got more images than text. Even the company address and phone numbers are images. Don't argue with me, it just is, and had to be this one unique time. ;-)
Could I compensate for the lack of text by creating a DIV loaded with company info, putting it immediately after the body tag in the code, and placing it outside the viewport so no one ever sees it?
I thought of simply putting a display:hidden on it, but thought crawlers like Google's probably look for that bit of code. It's so easy to check for, after all.
Will placing a div outside the viewport with pertinent text in it help with the SEO concerns? At least a little bit?

I think you already know the answer to this question so I won't beat a dead horse here.
Could I compensate for the lack of text by creating a DIV loaded with company info, putting it immediately after the body tag in the code, and placing it outside the viewport so no one ever sees it?
Google frowns on site owners who try to manipulate search results by seeding pages with hidden keywords. I'm not suggesting for one moment that YOU would do that but lots of people have tried this with very bad results -- blacklisting or total removal from Search results.
Let's say you have a graphic banner in your header with the company name, slogan and phone number on it. It's obviously got content on it but it's not indexable. I think you could safely use an object replacement technique by adding a real text equivalent to the header and setting text-indent to -99999px. This makes the text readable by screen readers and bots that don't use CSS while keeping it out of view of sighted humans. Just make certain that whatever text you use has a graphic equivalent on the page or you run the risk of being blacklisted.
In addition, be sure to apply alt and title attributes to every graphic. Search engines don't place much importance on them but they won't penalize you for using them either.
Best of luck,

Need help with finding "my" camera..

I'm having difficulty finding a camera with specific features that are important for me. I would greatly appreciate any help in finding the brand and model that fits the bill. I've googled and googled, without any luck. Help! I'm looking for a digital camera with:
1. GPS
2. "small" size (gotta fit in my purse, no camera bags for me!)
3. viewfinder
4. takes AA batteries
TIA

As a GPS and AA enthusiast, I too have been waiting for a similar combination.
nuff said about GPS models like the NIkon AW100, P510, S9300 similar models using propreitary batteries.
DSLR with AA powered grips don't fit your portability factor
have you considered an AA powered data logger? I use the discontinued Sony GPS-CS1. Not only does it provide a data file to sync with my camera clock, but it also draws a breadcrumb on where I go so I can look it up on a map afterwards.

Hi -
I downloaded Apple's free "Find My iPhone" app and would appreciate help getting it to work. I don't have a paid Mobile Me account, but I understand I can set up a free account to use the app. I signed up for the free MobileMe account in the iPhone 4's settings, and signed into it using my Apple ID. It seemed to work except that, when I went to sign into the app, I got an alert saying that my MobileMe account had not yet been verified, and I should check my Mobile Me email. The problem is, I can't seem to get the the mail screen. When I go to the Mobile Me sign-in page and enter my Apple ID, all I get is an alert saying that no device has been registered.

New Mac user looking for help with Finder, Preview, Keyboard, & Dock

So about a month ago I switched over from a lifelong Windows user to a brand new MacBook Pro, and while I am adjusting pretty well, there are still some things that I haven't quite figured out.
First up on the list is Finder! I like my files to be arranged just like how they are in Windows Explorer--folders first alphabetically, then files alphabetically. I've managed to acquire this setting by messing around with the "clean up by" and "arrange by" functions but I don't really know the specific combination. Most of the time these preferences are saved and set as the defaults under "View Options" but every once in a while it resets and I have to tinker around with the settings all over again. Does anyone know of a way to fix this? It's only happened twice so far, but I'd rather not have it happen again. Also, occasionally when I delete an item, there is a blank space left where the icon was instead of all the files following it bumping up a space. Any quick fixes for this bug?
Next up is Preview. Again, I like the Windows Way and I like to be able to browse between the files in a folder while using Preview/Windows Photo Viewer. I know that there is a way to browse between files if you select the whole folder and stick it in Preview, but is there a way to achieve the same result without having to do that? An app or "extension" of some sort that adds arrows in to browse between photos? I've had no luck finding anything other than the aforementioned option. Is there a good free alternative to Preview that will function similarly with the browse between photos option?
One of my favorite things about my new Mac is the backlit keyboard function. My old laptop didn't have it and as someone who is online more often at night it is super helpful. But is there a way to turn it off during the day/in bright settings? A way to put it on a timer? In System Preferences I selected the option "Adjust keyboard brightness in low light", which I assumed to mean would have the keyboard NOT very bright when there IS light, but it continues to light up just the same. Any apps or extensions to help with this one?
And finally, the dock! This question is more about aesthetics than functionality but help is appreciated all the same. Currently, my dock looks like this: http://i42.tinypic.com/35ktxlz.png It is rather opaque and the indicator lights can barely be seen. However, in a lot of tutorial videos I've been watching, many people have docks that look like this: http://i.i.cbsi.com/cnwk.1d/i/tim/2011/07/19/Lion_LaunchPad.png It is a darker shade of gray, the divider is dashed rather than a straight line, and the indicator lights are clearly visible. Does anybody know how to get this look for the dock? I've looked in the dock preferences but there's not really anything in there other than magnification/size/effects.
That about sums things up! I'm sorry if any of these seem like "silly" questions but they are all things I have been unable to find answers for. Any and all tips, tricks, and help is appreciated! Thanks in advance for all your help!!

congratulations on coming over from the dark side.
Seems like you are interested in column view, which would show you the hierarchy of folders and files: Column View in Mac OS X Mountain Lion - For Dummies Not sure what's going on if your finder settings don't stay put. May be a corrupted preferences file, which is easy to fix, but is perhaps a topic for another discussion.
What I'd suggest is to have an open mind and try to see what the mac can do, rather than force it to look like your windows machine. I mean, if you just want it to look like windows, then why bother switching? If you give it a little time, you'll start to appreciate the mac way of doing things, and see how it is infinitely more awesome, powerful, creative, intuitive, and better designed (and the software way better written) than what you left behind. But that's your call.
There are some threads on this forum with complaints about the backlight. Keyboard backlight settings query...: Apple Support Communities Evidently it depends on the angle of the screen and the light sensor relative to the light. Some suggest that a SMC reset may help: Intel-based Macs: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC) This is not an issue for me, I just adjust the brightness with the keyboard buttons if I want. Real men shift their own gears, drink their coffee black, and adjust their own keyboard brightness. I am not aware of any software to exert more control over this feature but a search of macupdate Download Apple Mac Software & iPhone Software : MacUpdate may help. I mean, it's up to you what is important. I can waste a lot of time playing around with the GUI and with unnecessary software, or I can just get my work (and play) done.
You might prefer the no-glass dock, that removes the shelf, and makes the indicator lights like more discrete orbs. You can do this with the terminal. Using the terminal is also, perhaps, a topic for another discussion.I like the 2D dock much better. If you want I'll give you some directions for how to do it. Otherwise, here's a reference: 2D Dock - MacRumors Forums

I need help with finding right stylus pen for lenovo yoga 2 pro!

I did read other person's post, but I did not find my answer. I am currently using my fingers to write my notes and it drives me nuts! I do have a stylus pen that have huge round fabric tip. It does not write well. I want a stylus pen with pointy end so I can acturally take my notes on OneNote. I writes equations down so it is very hard to write small and neat with my hand. I do know that my laptop is touch sensitive so it only works with rubber or fabric tips! I could not find any stylus pen with those tip that are pointy.... I need help on finding pointy tipped stylus pen that will let me write well. I am ordering ati-glare screen protector because I can see myself on the screen like a mirror... lol Hopefully this will not keep me from finding a pen that works well! Please give me link to the pen, if you can! Thank you for reading!

ColonelONeill is correct.
The Yoga 2 Pro does not have a digitizer, so a capacitative stylus, which mimics a fingertip, is what you'd need.
Regards.

PHP Help with inherited database site

Hope someone can help with this, although I might be a bit vague. (But will be happy to post any code that might help.)
Basically I do a few sites for a company, and everything is coming together nicely moving everything to a new reseller hosting account where everything can site. I'm basically doing some redesign and new database work for them.
But there's one site I'm basically just trying to move over, that already has a database. I've copied the site onto the new hosting, copied the database across and created a new connection file.
I must admit the code is all a bit more PHPO heavy than what I'm used to working with. so have run into a problem trying to figure out what data is not displaying due to queries failing. As far as I can tell the connection is working, and the queries have not changed.
Anyway - the main page is here, where you should be able to click on the furniture images to go to the product page :
http://www.miradatravelmedia.com/lusty/public_html/index.php
But when you click through the product page query is failing :
http://www.miradatravelmedia.com/lusty/public_html/products.php?category=1
The products page is mostly PHP and looks like this :
[PHP]<?php
if (!@empty($_REQUEST["img"])) {
require_once("../includes/hft_image.php");
$img = new hft_image($_REQUEST["img"]);
$img->resize(200,180,"-");
$img->output_resized("");
exit;
$page = "products";
include("../includes/header.php");
include("../includes/db_open.php");
$sql = "SELECT `id`, `name` FROM `categories` WHERE `id` = '" . $_REQUEST["category"] . "'";
$result = mysql_query($sql) or die("Query failed : $sql at line " . __line__);
$category = mysql_fetch_assoc($result);
?>
<div id="trail"><a href="shop.php">Shop</a> > Lloyd Loom <?php echo $category["name"]?></div>
<div class="clear" id="divider1"><img src="images/spacer.gif" alt="<?php echo keyword()?>" /></div>
<h1>Lloyd Loom <?php echo $category["name"]?></h1>
<?php
$sql =
"SELECT * " .
"FROM `products` " .
"WHERE `category` = '" . $_REQUEST["category"] . "' " .
"ORDER BY `order`";
$result = mysql_query($sql) or die("Query failed : $sql at line " . __line__);
if (mysql_num_rows($result) == 0) {
?>
<p>Coming soon ...</p>
<?php
} else {
$n = 0;
while ($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($result)) {
    $n++;
?>
<a href="product.php?id=<?php echo $row["id"]?>" class="product"<?php if ($n == mysql_num_rows($result)) echo " id=\"last\""?>>
<?php
    if ($file = glob("images/products/" . $row["id"] . "_*.*")) {
?>
<img src="img.php?img=<?php echo $file[0]?>&width=200&height=180" alt="<?php echo $row["code"]?>" />
<?php
    } else {
?>
<div id="no_image">No image found</div>
<?php
?>
<?php echo $row["code"]?>
</a>
<?php
    if (is_int($n / 4)) {
?>
<div class="clear"><img src="images/spacer.gif" alt="<?php echo keyword()?>" /></div>
<?php
?>
<div class="clear" id="divider2"><img src="images/spacer.gif" alt="<?php echo keyword()?>" /></div>
<?php
include("../includes/footer.php");
?>[/PHP]
If anyone could shed any light on what's going wrong still, that would be much appreciated.
Thanks.

You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near ''categories' WHERE 'id' = '1'' at line 1
So it does look a bit odd with the quotes.
Column names in a SQL query must not be in quotes. The MySQL error message tells you that the SQL syntax error is "near" the section it refers to. In other words, the error is just before that part of the query. Normally, you need to display the whole query to spot the error, but it's obvious in this particular case, because there's a quotation mark after categories, indicating that you've put the column name in quotes. Anyway, you've solved that problem by using the version I suggested.
I still haven't managed to establish where this vat.php file is - is there any explanation for it not being visible on the original hosting server where the site is working? And could it have anything to do with the query not working?
No, it has nothing to do with the query not working, and the reason you can't see it on the live site is because there's no error. The error message on your test site tells you exactly where to look for the problem. The file vat.php is included by header.php on line 19. Either vat.php isn't on your server, or the code on line 19 of header.php is pointing to the wrong location.

Help with a "buggy" site

Hey guys,
I finally got my domain with my flash site up on it. It's a fairly simple site, but I have been having a lot of times (especially with optimizing and making it fast) Im still having speed issues, even though I have linked every image, optimized every image, etc. So I guess thats my first questions: any secrets I may not have heard of for optimizing?
Second, when you open my site you will see some other bugs. My homepage is what I call a clicktable, and as soon as you click a square, a dotted line surrounds the entire "workspace" like it is outlinging the exact size of my catalyst document. This appeared out of the blue..I have no idea why (it was up on another server with no problems). Another problem is when you click to different pages things kind of spaz out (you will see what I mean)...another problem that never used to be there. If anyone has any tips on any of this I would be very grateful! Also, any critique in general. Thanks!

Help with finding someone who actually gives a dam...

Help with actually getting something done.
We have had the same telephone number installed at the same address for over 14 years with various services associated including call sign, call minder etc. we also have another line terminating in a different building with Broadband.
We initially wanted to consolidate the service and order BB provision on the original line and would have liked to have moved across to BT Business but they were unable to port my Call Sign No. so we instead ordered provision of BB and moving of the socket outlet via BT residential.
I went to great lengths to explain exactly what was needed & why we were not switching to BT Business, it was paramount that both the original number and the call sign number stayed active as both have been extensively advertised in connection with our businesses.
On Monday 18th the engineer arrived and duly capped off the service in the original building and extended the cabling to the new position and terminated with a new Open Reach faceplate. When he left the premises our phone was working properly and there had been minimum disruption. I understood that at some point in the next 24hrs the BB would be activated on that line - he told me he had already signed the job off as completed.
On Tuesday the BB was still not active so I called to be told the job wasn't yet complete as tehre was a problem with our call minder service and call sign. I then tested our line and found that it was no longer working. We can hear a dial tone but outgoing calls get a message saying the number called is not recognised and incoming calls go to a standard BT messaging service that we can't access.
I called back & explained. I asked for a divert but was told that couldn't be done until the job was signed off and that would take 24 hrs.
To cut a lot out it's now Friday afternoon so 100 hours have passed. Yesterday I eventualluy got call diverson in place but despite being told it would divert our call sign calls - it does not. So anyone calling that number is just gertting an unobtainablke tone.
I have been promised call backs that haven't happened and currently I am told an engineer will call as there is a fault shoiwing near or inside the property. But I have to wait until Monday (1 week after initial visit) this has been brought forward from the original date of Weds.
I have no confidence that this will resolve the issue as it seems there was a known problem on Tuesday that related to the exchange rather than the line.
I am told that I am on standard care so not eligible for weekend work however I would have been business if BT could have managed the transition. Also the only reason I'm off service is due to work being incorrectly carried out by BT.
If I make mistakes in my business I pull out all the stops to minimise the the inconvenience. In this case I have spent over 6 hours repeating information and often being talked over by people who are very willing to offer apologies but who don't actually resolve the problem.
It's impossible to estimate exactly how much this has already cost our businesses but we are definitely talking hundreds and possibly a thousand or two. We can't afford to miss any business ever but particularly a sthings are in the world now, we sell a time related product so when the day has passed we have missed that opportunity.
In my opinion if BT think OpenReach need to visit then they should have escalated this to have it resolved before now and definitely not expect me to wait 3 more days as its a weekend. Somebody must have the authority and the desire to put this right but I am unable to communicate with them.
I was promised a call back yesterday ay 15:00 but it never came, afetr another 30 minute phone call I was promised a manager would call me back within 1 hr at 7:00 pm last night, still waiting, I called again today and was told I would be called back as soon as the manager was off the telephone - that was 2 hours ago and still no call

Help with attaching Dreamweaver site to a domain purchased through Google (GoDaddy)

Hi Yesterday I set up Google Apps and have bought a domain through them (which they get from GoDaddy) I want to have a more professional looking website than they offer with Google Sites so was going to design one in Adobe DreamWeaver. The only problem is I don't know how to attach the two together. I use design mode as I can't really code (unless following a tutorial) so if anyone can point me in the right direction I would really appreciate it. Thanks K

1) I believe what you are asking is how to point your domain name to your site. If this is the case then the first thing you need to do is find a host with whom you can agree to sign a contract for 12 months and upload your files. If you want a simple host with all the features you are likely to want then I would strongly recommend these people:
<sky.uk.net>
2) Then you need to enter the cname of your host on GoDaddy's CPanel. The full instructions are here:
<To Add a CNAME Record>
This should get you started but you may also want to enter your Mx records for your emails sent to your domain name like: [email protected] or whatever.
3) the full instructions about all this is here:
<Managing DNS for Your Domain Names>
4) If, however, you were asking for free templates and extensions for your DW then WebAssists has quite a few to get you started. Gramps has given you the links so it is a good idea to browse their site and register with them free of charge to download the free extensions from them. There are some classified as premium but you don't want them now until you are experienced enough to design some sophisticated websites.

Hello I am new to this multi hosting. I have looked on the forum for answers but haven't found any. I am trying to figure out how to host multiple sites. I have my dns working for my default site "example1.com", but need to know if I need to add another dns record for my second site. "example2.com". Also when I point to the new fold that has the second site in it and I assign it port 82 for testing purposes I get an error message saying 403 access forbidden. I need to find out how get permission to view the site for the public. Its in a separate folder on an external hard drive right now for testing purposes. Can any body help me or point me in the right direction? Thanks so much!!!

While what you are telling him is technically functional, it is not correct
I beg to differ, Paul. You are the one that is not correct.
CNAMES have been deprecated as of some years ago
What? huh? really?
Please show me any official document that states this (and not someone who just started a rumor because he didn't understand them). Indeed, the DNS RFC makes no such claim.

I stand very much corrected. CNAMEs are not officially deprecated. Interestingly, your post cites precisely what happens when CNAMES used carelessly. How many transactions are needed to resolve Apple's CNAME chain below? RFC1912 (http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc1912.html) has some recommendations that suggests Apple's own network folks have, like me and perhaps even others here, some learning to do. Is that a 'best practice?'
{quote}> Then make sure you tell Apple since this site depends on the use of CNAMEs:
dig discussions.apple.com
discussions.apple.com. 492 IN CNAME discussions.apple.com.edgesuite.net.
discussions.apple.com.edgesuite.net. 4427 IN CNAME a1399.b.akamai.net.
a1399.b.akamai.net. 2 IN A 128.241.220.82
a1399.b.akamai.net. 2 IN A 128.241.220.72
In fact, it uses TWO CNAMES in a chain. Oh my.{quote}
From RFC1912 (which I'm sure many have now read here), section 2.4 is as follows:
{quote}... having chained records such as CNAMEs pointing to CNAMEs may
make administration issues easier, but is known to tickle bugs in
some resolvers that fail to check loops correctly. As a result some
hosts may not be able to resolve such names.{quote}
{quote}> It is not valid to say "don't use these because they could cause problems'. A records can be just as problematic, as can PTRs. Let's not even talk about MX.{quote}
How, exactly, does is an A record problematic? No chains, no additional lookups, no wasted cycles...
We differ here -- and if we are dealing with a newbie, we don't need to enter into unnecessary complexity UNTIL it is a requirement for their solutions.
{quote}> There are many valid reasons to use CNAMEs in DNS, not least of which is the ease of moving a service if it uses CNAMEs. For example, if you have 10 A records all pointing at the same server and you want to migrate to a different machine you have to locate and update all 10 records. If they used a CNAME to the physical server you could move them all at once using a single change. This is especially important in cross-domain links where you may not control all the origin zone files.
{quote}
You're somewhat reaching here, and it is well beyond the scope of the OP's post or needs (well, until they tell us more about their needs, I suppose). There is nothing difficult about 'finding' and updating the necessary records. The final example you gave is a good one and I'll say THAT is an appropriate use of a CNAME, 'though there are other workarounds for it.
Thanks for keeping me honest.

Need Help With find and Replace

I am a little green to this all. I am trying to find and
replace a word inside the edit region and Dreamweaver will not
change it, because it says its inside a locked region, but its a
editable region?
I have about 900 pages I need to make this change on and was
relying on the find and replace tool to do that. I tried differn't
advanced options, nothing seams to change it. I am using cs3.
Thanks for any help

Using Templates with a 900 page site is a crime against
humanity. You reach
the optimal size for Templates between about 50 and 100.
The error you are getting suggests that there are coding
errors on the page
(perhaps even unrelated to ANY DW Template markup). We'd need
to see the
page to make progress with what that might be, as Alan says.
