Hide everything apart from my index page for websearch

hello i currently have a robots.txt file in my site to dissalow everything because google was indexing thing like my flash buttons, but now i am barely noticed  by the googlebots and am only on the fouth page of a search...
what can i do to hide everything apart from my index page and the index keywords / page title description etc??
Thanks so much for the genuis that can help to solve my headache!!
much appreciated

Hi Martin
The problem with the htaccess method is that not everyone has access to their ht.config files (shared hosting), as for the robots.txt file this tends to hide everything, even pages that are not included (and is still readable by anyone who links to it, often used by hackers).
As for the meta tags, yes you can use them, but Google (to name just one), is starting to ignore all meta info (started with keywords, now they are considering not using anything, except page title), and we can only blame the designers/developers who place everything in these tags for this, as much of what was inserted was not relevant to the page.
The best method is the nofollow as even if it is followed the results will not be used (so they say), but to ensure that a page is not indexed, the only 100% certain way is not to have a link, even generating links dynamically no longer works, as dynamic pages are now parsed before searching.

  • HELP! *EVERYTHING* disappeared from my sidebar except for my MacBook Pro icon, which is still showing under "Devices".

    *Everything* disappeared from my sidebar except for my MacBook Pro icon, which is still showing under "Devices".

    Richard,
    I had checked Finder Preferences to make sure everything was still checked, and it was. But as a result of your suggestion I decided to go back and uncheck them, relaunch Finder, restart my MacBook Pro, and re-check them. That didn't actually change anything, BUT, in moving my cursor around the sidebar I discovered there is a "show/hide" button to the right of the word Favorites which only shows up when you hover over it (a bad design imo) and I must have somehow clicked on it and pouf! All disappeared! So, thank you! I would not have discovered that absent your suggestion. All is now showing in my sidebar again.

  • Why does my apple password work on EVERYTHING apart from home sharing where is gives an error code 5599!

    why does my apple password work on EVERYTHING apart from home sharing where is gives an error code 5599!

    Every time I try to set up icloud i get a message that my account is not verified and I will get an email about how to verify it.  I never get the email.  I have reset my password 4 times.  My email address is good.  My apple id works everywhere it should. For some reason my ipad will find my ipad but not my iphone, and my iphone will find my ipad.  I cant change the setting on my iphone so the ipad can find it, because it is greyed out because icloud will not verify my email and password, and never sends me the email to verify it. Am I the only one with this problem?

  • XP crashes when booting everything apart from safe mode

    My PC (with K7N-ILSR mobo) has been running fine for ages. Suddenly now it's crashing when booting - it crashes for everything apart from safe mode. it also crashes on safe mode with networking. i've tried disabling the onboard LAN, unplugging the cable, etc without success. any idea what i can do to fix it?

    to dancing_bear,
    try to resinstall the graphics card drivers in safe mode. this problem is likely due to corrupted graphics card drivers. if still fails, i suggest that u back up your data, then perform a reformat and reinstallation of the operating system.
    if problem still persist after all these workarounds, then open up your pc chassics and observe all the cooling fans. make sure that are all working properly. (of course your pc has to be on) if any of the fan is not spining or spining very slowly, then its time to replace them. also not forgetting to check on the capacitors as well. they should not be bludging from the top or having brownish substances at the top or bottom of the capacitors. if you happen to see these, then send your motherboard for a recap.
    cheers 

  • Hide Full Information from Content Information Page in UCM 11g

    Hi,
    I want to hide Full information tab from Content Information page for all users.
    Please assist me.
    Thanks

    Have the <A href call a JavaScript function that sets the parameters that you want to pass as cookies for the page. (use inmemeory cookies). Then the JavaScript function will the change the location property of the page that will cause the browser to submit a new request. You should then be able to access the cookies on the server side and retrieve the data. You may need to use a differnt JavaScript function for each link tag.

  • Edit an index page for a scanned OCR document

    We have documents that we will either scan or have sent to us in scanned PDF format.
    What we need to do is reorder the pages, apply OCR to these documents, fix up the OCR, generate an index page for the document, then trim down the generated index to just the topics of interest and merge together items that are synonyms or otherwise related phrases for the same topics in the index.
    Acrobat Pro seems to do most of this, except for generating and editing the index page.
    Which Adobe tools will we need for this job please?

    A set of pages, usually found near the end of a book that list "important" concepts found in the book along with the page numbers where these concepts are mentioned.
    Spontaneous human combustion ... p234, p1056, all of chapter 26
    Only in a PDF these should be links not just to the page but the place on the page where the concept is mentioned.
    So the work flow would be:
    Scan document.
    Run OCR.
    Fix the OCR.
    Extract Text and generate automatic Index page.
    Trim down the words listed in the Index page and glue it to the document.

  • HOW CAN I CHANGE FONT STYLE IN INDEX PAGE FOR IBA?

    Hi
    Is it possible to change the font style in INDEX page for iBA?
    Naidu

    NO. In the index page. I figured out that we can change the space and text formate.
    I am preparing a bokk with 1 chapter and 13 section.
    SO, in the index page it is showing like 1.1, 1.2.......1.10, 1.11 so on; on the left hand side and page numbers on the right hand side.
    Can i take out the numbers on the left and have only the section name and page number?
    If so how?

  • Why does everything apart from contacts sync?

    Hi,
    I've just set up my new iMac and started using iMessage with a friend. I noticed his name didn't appear above his txts; just his number. I figured my contacts hadn't  synced from my iPhone so plugged it in and attempted several times with no success.
    My bookmarks, iTunes music library etc all carry over from my iPhone to my iMac - but my contact book still remains empty apart from what appears to be an Apple entry and an entry for me which I assume was created when I set the system up this afternoon.
    Even more frustrating is the fact that my partner opened her user account on the system, plugged her phone in and checked her contact book - everything was there!
    Any ideas where I'm going wrong here? Has the iMac created an address book running parallel to my existing iPhone one after I set it up? (Referencing the creation of the odd and empty entry in the contact book for myself and Apple).
    Please help!
    Thanks

  • IWeb '09 and creating an "Index" page for two separate sides of my website

    I'm redesigning my website with iWeb '09 seeing that I've recently switched to Mac from being a life-long PC/Windows user. I'm not too web programming savvy so iWeb fits my needs as a very good program that redesigns my site very nicely (and quite inexpensively, as well).
    My current incarnation of my website (http://www.jeffreykern.com) was designed by a professional web designer on Dreamweaver for PC a couple of years ago. Some time ago when I was trying to update my PC with XP SP 3 (bad idea as it turned out), my connection to my web hosting service got completely fouled up and I lost the ability to update the site and haven't updated my site since. Knowing that I was going to be switching to Mac (with my new Mac Pro) I never had the desire, or energy, to patch things up to update my site with my PC. Plus, I was in need of a redesign so I eventually got my site ready to go with iWeb 09. That's where I stand right now...
    So, as you can see on my current site I have a main index page that splits up into the two sides of my life: the triathlete side and the writer side. I've already redesigned both sides of my site with iWeb, I'm ready to update it thru my web hosting via FTP and Transmit 3, but I cannot find how to create a main "Index" page on iWeb that will let me branch off into two different directions. By having that "Index" page intact I will be able to keep my domain of jeffreykern.com as it currently stands. I don't mind having to get two different domains for each of my two sides of my site but would like to avoid that extra step -- if, at all, possible.
    Thanks in advance for your help,
    Jeff

    Building three websites on three separate domain files would be my choice.
    Its important to realize that you cannot have a page called "index" using iWeb because the associated index.html file will conflict with the one that iWeb creates.
    As has been suggested, the first site would be one page. The site name would be jeffreykern.
    This site will publish as jeffreykern_files and an index.html file. Inside this folder is another index.html file. This is the one your domain name will be directed at if you don't need an RSS feed.
    If your server allows it, create a root folder on it called "jeffreykern" and upload the contents of the local folder to this and ignore the separate index.html file. Note that I said contents and not the folder itself.
    A lot of servers require that you upload to a pre existing folder. In this case you will have to upload the index.html file and the jeffreykern _files folder.
    The two other sites are named and published as writer and triathlete. The external index files of these two sites are renamed writer.html and triathlete.html.
    These two files and their corresponding folders are uploaded to your root folder on the server after adding tags and optimizing.......
    http://www.iwebformusicians.com/SearchEngines/SEO.html
    Now you have a main (one page) site with two sub sites.
    The domain name http://www.jeffreykern.com/ is directed at the index.html file so that when this is entered into the browser, the main page will appear.
    The links to the two main sections, whether they be text and/or image, are created and selected as external hyperlinks.
    http://www.jeffreykern.com/triathlete/
    http://www.jeffreykern.com/writer/
    Clicking these links will open the first page of their respective sites.
    If you do the sensible thing and trash the iWeb default navigation to replace it with a custom one, you can include external hyperlinks to the landing page and the other site in this.
    The website - iWeb for Musicians - is created like this and is built on 9 separate domain files for ease of updating and publishing. The whole site is tied together with a Main navigation to get to each section which has a Sub navigation to jump around that section.
    For more on navigation see.....

  • Is there a way i can restore my iPhone from a backup but everything apart from settings?

    Is there any way i can restore my iphone 4S from a backup after restoring it from factory settings but not applying my previous settings? as parental controls have been added, but passcode is forgotten and i now need to keep all my stuff on the iphone but get rid of parental controls!!

    You can't chose what to include/exclude with a restore, you can restore the whole backup (including settings) or not restore. I'm assuming that the passcode was on the iPhone when you last backed up, in which case (apart from remembering it) the only way to remove the code is to restore back to factory defaults.

  • Audio works for everything apart from the itunes festival app

    Audio works fine in menus, music and video. But when trying to watch concerts on the itunes festival app there is no audio, only video. Have tried changing settings and restarting apple tv but has made no difference. Seems very strange.

    I called Apple and got this fixed. It was a simple "Restore" from the settings menu. Not the restart but restore the Apple TV back to factory settings, I went straight onto the featival channel and it worked (and has continued to work) perfectly.
    Hope this helps everyone else!
