Iweb 08 AND google search???

Hey, I hope someone can help me. 1st off, I don't know much about page design and all that stuff. I know a little, but please simple terms.
I'm thinking of making a page in Iweb, however, I want my page to be indexed and search easy if someone should try to find my site on google. I have heard 2 stories.
1) if you make your website in iweb, don't expect to get much trafic as google probably wont find it or pick it up. SO for small business, iweb is NOT the way to go
2) Google will find your site if you add google maps and google products to your site.
I just want the world to know my site!!! But if google can't pick it up..or is unlikely to pick it up...then what's the point? Can someone please help??

With iWeb '08 you have the option to publish to a local folder to add tags and upload to MobileMe by drag and drop to Finder/Go/iDisk/My iDisk/Web/Sites.
By doing this, you do lose some of the functions of iWeb as you will see in the Help files.
There's a lot of good reasons why you shouldn't rely on MobileMe for a business site but, if you have to use it, you can still get search engine attention.
You need to follow the steps in the section of iWeb for Musicians that I mentioned above and use your MobileMe URL to allow Google etc to get to your sitemap.
Its also more or less essential to build your own navigation menu rather than use the default iWeb one.....

IWeb Portfolios and google search results

I recently created a website for my business with a selection of portfolios showcasing work I had done.
On of my clients had noticed that when they google their business one of my folio pages comes up with the following:
back back. forward forward. back. download · thumbnails on thumbnails on · thumbnails off thumbnails off · play. previous previous. next next...
I have also noticed that it does the same for another client folio.
I would really like to change this so that google eventually read something like:
Branding & design solutions for marketing communications. Is is possible to do within iWeb?

IWeb sitemap and Google search

I'm sorry, I mistakenly formerly entered this topic as a post on a previously answered question regarding Google Keywords. I have more questions on this topic.
I have two questions:
2. I have .mac and am using domain forwarding. I obtained and followed step by step instructions from iweb Faq - show up on Google. I obtained the sitemap and placed it in the Web/Site folder. When I check with Google webmaster tools, I get the following warning:
URLs not followed
When we tested a sample of the URLs from your Sitemap, we found that some URLs were not accessible to Googlebot because they contained too many redirects. Please change the URLs in your Sitemap that redirect and replace them with the destination URL (the redirect target). All valid URLs will still be submitted.
2. How do I refresh my iweb sitemap?
I'm a genuine newbie, and don't know anything about html.
Thanks for any help.

Here's a couple of examples of links to other sites.....
http://www.mirroroftheuniverse.com/Contact.html
http://www.mirroroftheuniverse.com/Buy.html
These can be links to sites that you think would be of interest to your viewers, retail outlets and services related to your product.
Some of the links on the "Buy" page are there because these sites link to mine and the site owners have requested a link to theirs. This particular product is listed on 60+ sites so I can't possibly put them all in although, in a perfect world, I would take the time to do so!
Interlinking of websites is normally a reciprocal arrangement between site owners whose websites compliment each other but are not in direct competition.

Missing address and google search space

Hi, all -
Well, I must have hit a strange key combo. I have lost the address and google search "buttons" on the safari address bar. Safari works, I just can't navigate to non-bookmarked areas.
What's the simplest solution? I tried downloading a new safari, and it says I don't have the right OS, but my OS is newer than what is required. I found "com.apple.safari.plist" and got it on my desktop, but couldn't make anything happen, and now I don't know where to go to put it back where it belongs.
Thanks for your patience.

higbini,
Welcome to Apple Discussions.
Choose: Safari>View>Customize Address Bar...>Drag your favorite item into the toolbar...(Address and Search) to regain the use of these two items.

I just installed ios8 on my ipad3 and now I can't exit out of the last search using Safari and Google search

I Installed ios8 then iOS 8.02 on iPad 3. Now when I use Safari and Google search I can't exit out of the last site visited. It seems that all the sites are saved. Help. When I go to use Safari the next time the last site visited is always there. I want to be able exit those sites every time exit from Safari

Safari works a little differently in that respect on iOS 8 on the iPad than it did before. To exit the last site used, tap the icon that looks like 2 overlapping pages at the top right of the screen and then tap the x at the top left of the smaller display that appears.

IWeb '09 and Google Analytics

So, Apple finally released the feature I've been waiting years for - the ability to upload to FTP in iWeb '09. This is really awesome because iWeb can upload changes to a site only instead of having to export the site to my hard drive then upload the entire site via a separate FTP program.
The only problem is it has basically broken my Google Analytics support. I used to use a Automator script to automatically add Google Analytics code to each page before manually uploading, but now that iWeb does the uploading itself, I can't do this anymore. And the way iWeb implements HTML "widgets", it loads javascripts in a separate file instead of in the main HTML file of each page, which basically means Google analytics won't work.
Does anybody have a good way to get Google Analytics working in an iWeb page without exporting the page and uploading with a separate FTP program?

J-a-x:
I started using iWeb '08 when it first came out and have been very happy with it. I purchase iLife '09 and have switched to iWeb '09 with very few problems. I use Statcounter (and Google Analytics on one site) and ran into the same problem that you have indicated. Initially, I used the Publish to FTP function and used html snippets for the Statcounter code which worked OK.
One of the problems with using iWeb is that the pages do not always look the same in Safari as they do in IE7. What I do not is publish to a folder then through VMWare Fusion, look at the pages in Internet Explorer. The main difference that I am finding is the text boxes. This procedure allows me to make sure that the pages veiw correctly in IE7 before I publish them.
Once, I am happy with the pages in the website, (at the recommendation of Roddy) the pages are optimized through Website Maestro (WSM). This creates another folder in your Sites folder with each site optimized. I then use iTweak to add the Statcounter codes to the optimized pages and then upload to the server with Fetch. WSM has the upload function, but last night I could not figure out the paths correctly so I used Fetch.
FYI, I am also using Multisite with iWeb '09 and it seems to work fine. I maintain three websites, two of which have similar information. I can be working on a site, use Multisite to quickly switch to one of the other websites, copy information, then switch back to the previous site and paste the information. Seems to work well.
I think an important thing to remember is that most of the people that view your website are going to be using Windows Internet Explorer so it is very important that you make sure that the view they see is correct; in that case WSM is a must have.
Is iWeb '09 worth the upgrade? Yes, I think so even though I have chosen no to use the Publish to FTP function, the Publish to Folder option is much enhanced. There may be some additional enhancements that make it easier to use that I do not use and am unaware.
Hope this helps!

IWeb 09 and Google Adsense

I have a six page website I created in Iweb 09 and I have a Google Adsense account as well. I cannot get the Widget to show up on any of the pages when I publish the pages locally or to my domain. Any suggestions or ideas?

I am having the same issue. Mine WAS working but it stopped. Now I just get a blank black box!

Spry Accordion panels and Google search

Hello! I have about 30 pages with at least 15 spry accordion
panels on each. I've just implemented a local customized google
search and it looks like Google is able to pull pretty accurate
search on both the panels and panels content.
Once presented with the search results, can a user get to an
OPEN accordion panel, that relates to his search? I hope I've
explained it clearly, THanks!

Yes, this happens because all of the content is on the page.

I've seen some scripts that highlight Google search terms, so
I suppose that getting the search terms on the destination page is
possible, but making that leap to the proper panel to open may be a
little more difficult.
First you have to figure out which panel the words are
in,then you have to figure out what if the user is searching for
three terms and each of those terms is in a different panel, or if
only one term, and that term is in multiple panels? How would you
expect that work out?
You can highlight the words using code such as that discussed
on this page:
http://www.kryogenix.org/code/browser/searchhi/
I'd guess that someone could reverse that code that finds the
text and then take that find and then walk up the DOM tree to see
if you are within an accordion panel and then show that panel as
the default panel on the page.

Flickr pages and Google search result pages are smaller

When I go to a Flickr page or a Google search result page, the entire page is smaller. Content is the same, but the fonts and images are smaller.

To start with, try pressing holding down Ctrl and then pressing 0 ( Zero). That will reset your zoom if you have zoomed out.

Safari and google search

Hi Guys
I have strange problem with searching google with Safari.
Try to search any thing you want, I will call it "Search string 1" and feel free to click on any link then go back to the your google search page either by pressing back button or the gesture. Now try to do the same thing with another search criteria which I call it "Search String 2".
NOW here is the problem:
When you click on any result for "Search string 2" and go back to your google search page, you will see the "Search string 1" in the google search textbox BUT the results are for "Search string 2".
Very wired.
any idea??
Thank you

That's nice my post helps resolving your problem.
How is... actually I don't know exactly.
But we (I mean Japanese) always have got problem with functions which automatically do something during typing.
We always need change word from how I type to how I want by IME(Input Method Editor) because we have 3 different type of characters.
(see this Youtube if you have a time, maybe you could imagine what I talk about. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LYVKT-TWB8A)
So that kind of functions are really difficult to apply for Japanese services.
And I have experience trying early beta of Google Instant Search, and remember that behavior was awful for Japanese. (now much better)
Then I've got this problem, that idea suddenly crossed me which the cause of problem might be Google Instant Search, JavaScript for the search might be cause something bad for BACK operation.
Just like that.

Firefox 4 and Google search

When i upgraded to FF4, the first thing i noticed was the new look to my home page. then i did a search. that's when i discovered that by upgrading, FF changed some of my default settings. the default search engine is now yahoo! Geez! if i had to reset my default settings just to update/upgrade for all the software that i have on my computer, i would... after reading some other's thoughts, i'd have to say that mozilla firefox released version 4 just a little too soon.

Cheers - other 3.6.13 downloads I've tried all come up as 'file corrupted'.
Would stil like to know why the problem with Google search not completing and if I can resolve this on version 4.0...

(Mavericks) Safari 7.1.5 history and google search

If I click on a link on a google search result page, then the google search is not in history anymore.
It is annoying.

Click "History" in the Safari menu bar and then "Search Results SnapBack".

Earthlink and Google search bar

Greetings,
I love Firefox! When I log into my personal start page at Earthlink, and then scroll down the page, the Google search box is locked at the top of the page and if I try to use the arrow keys to scroll down, the Google search box responds by displaying the past Google searches and then scrolling down the list.
Is there some way to disable this behavior?
Thanks for your help!

Does your Earthlink page show any options to change that?
There's no built-in feature of Firefox to prevent scripts from locking the position of an element to the top of the window, or moving the cursor where it likes. You probably would need an add-on to "hack" the page and either block the script from loading, or defeat/undo what it does. (Not impossible, but would take some hands on tinkering to accomplish.)

Firefox on Shaw Cable Internet cannot connect to google services such as gmail and google search.

Called two associates and tried on two different Shaw connections at two different locations. No one can connect to Google searches on Shaw Cable internet in the Surrey, BC area using Firefox. It works with internet explorer and chrome.
Is Google doing this on purpose to get more chrome users?
Receiving following error:
Secure Connection Failed
An error occurred during a connection to www.google.ca. SSL received a record that exceeded the maximum permissible length. (Error code: ssl_error_rx_record_too_long)
The page you are trying to view cannot be shown because the authenticity of the received data could not be verified.
Please contact the website owners to inform them of this problem. Alternatively, use the command found in the help menu to report this broken site.

Hi GaryGS, that change limits Firefox to using the SSLv3 protocol, when normally Firefox would upgrade to TLSv1 if the site supports it. I recommend trying to switch it back tomorrow or the next day for stronger secure connections once Shaw's issue is resolved.

IWeb 09 and Godaddy Search Engine Visibility

Has anyone used GoDaddy's Search Engine visibility tool with an iWeb 09 site hosted through MobileMe? I love the simplicity of iWeb but would love to add keywords and optimize my site for web searches. Any advice?
cheers!

Hey,
This is a great programme.. it allows you to add page titles, meta tags & descriptions really easily for iweb.
Good luck!
