No title displayed on search engines

After a website analysis of my site WWW.gingerbirdstore.com, I found out that my site does not display a title on search engines. How can I add a tittle? I'm using iWeb SEO Tool and goDaddy for all the other stuff such as meta tags, description and title that I can't do on iWeb.

The title tag is the one displayed above the URL at the top of the browser window. If you don't add a title tag, this will be replaced with the page name as yours is.
Title tags are added to the html file for each page of your site and the easiest way is to use SEO Tool. The page title tag also becomes the heading in the page entry in Google and the meta description that you add in SEO Tool becomes the text.

How to change the wording of my site when displayed in search engines

How do I amend the details displayed when my website is typed into google so that it reads my company name, and other selected text...as opposed to the wording on the first slide/ 123.reg which it is currently displaying. Is there a settings page within iWeb that manages this?

Any advice would be much appreciated.

Jessica ~ Welcome to the discussions. Most built-in templates have a large header caption at the top of the page and there's the Page tab in iWeb's Inspector — see the section "1) iWeb Page Titles" in this article:
_SEO For iWeb: How to get your iWeb Websites into Google & Other Major Search Engines_
Their free _iWeb SEO Tool_ says this:
"Your meta description is a short description of your webpage content. Like your title tag, and all other meta tags, it should be unique for each one of your webpages. Provide a short description of what visitors should expect to see on your webpage. Search engines will use your description meta tag in the search results page right underneath the title tag."
Also see this article by Google:
_Changing your site's title and description in search results_
...Found by doing THIS.
In other site builders, such as the free Weebly, SEO is integrated:

By the way, rather than posting your URL like this:
www.thenutritionalconnection.com
...include the prefix to make it conveniently clickable:

Firefox search box no longer displays any search engines and won't save any new ones

A while back the default search box in firefox 4 randomly lost all the search engines in it and the box to restore defaults is permanently greyed out so I can't restore it. I've tried deleting the files mentioned in other responses as well as just moving them out of the folder with no success. I feel that the only way to possibly fix this is to completely remove all traces of firefox from my laptop and reinstall but i'd rather not go through reinstalling all the add ons I have etc if it can be helped with a simpler fix.

I said in my initial post that I had tried all those fixes. Tried everything with the sqlite files and the form history. No luck. Don't have either of the extensions and it can't be any of the others as even in safe mode it still isn't any different. I have also performed plenty of virus scans and nothing has come up.

Online .pdf documents, meta tags; title, keywords, descriptions. search engines

Hi. In DW 8.0.
I searched the forums for this but was unable to find the answer.
I would like to have meta tags in my .pdf files that are on the web.
When someone does a search for one of them in Google or Yahoo!, it reads the title in a bizarre upper & lower case letter pattern under the search results page.
"ExaMPLe SAMple tiTLE"
Correct me if I am wrong, but Google creates source code for .pdfs so others can search for them, but I do not understand why the title looks the way it does.
I was hoping by changing the title meta tag in the actual .pdf using Acrobat would solve this, but I am waiting to see if this will work.
Does anyone know of a better way of changing/adding the meta tags to an online .pdf document?
Thanks.

PDF is a print document.
HTML is a web document.
AFAIK, meta tags are found only in web documents.
Soluiton would be to convert your PDFs to HTML pages and use your own meta tags and titles.

Incorrect Website being displayed when CLICKING from Search engine

When CLICKING on a Website address from using a search engine, or entering it directly, the WRONG address is displayed.
It DOES have the correct address, but the DISPLAY is not the one I am looking for. Same if using the IE rendering Facility, same results if using AdBlock OFF.
Only if using IE Directly as the Browser, is the CORRECT Website displayed.
A friend of mine has NO problems in doing the same,
for the same Website address, with FF.
As far as I know, other Websites are not affected !
(Well, none that I have used so far )

Options for displaying images dynamically would include putting the required mark-up in an HTML region, only storing the image URI (or parts of it) in the page item, and referencing this using static text substitution. Others would be custom report templates or Dynamic PL/SQL regions.
If you must store HTML code in session state and access it using static text substitution (not recommended) then use an application item.

Search & Index tabs: double topic titles displayed

In my chm, on the Search and Index tabs, topic titles are
displayed twice. The second instance of these does not display the
topic when clicked; instead the "cannot display" error message is
shown. If there are special characters (ü, ä, ö,
etc) in the topic title these characters are displayed as a
combination of weird symbols.
I cannot find anything wrong with my help project, as far as
I can tell the topics that do not dispay do not exist in the help
project.

All topic titles in the search and index tabs are doubled;
English does not have any special characters but the English
projects are also affected.
The topics which are duplicated are only in my help projects
once.
The problem only seems to be in the chm.
The help projects are in ClearCase source control - could
this be a factor?
I have 2 separate branches of the same projects in ClearCase
and one branch (the original branch) does not have this problem.
The branch that does have the problem was created by copying the
original branch.

Iweb site, listing in search engine looks bizarre??

It appears to be picking up info from my menu... Why is this?
thanks

Roddy is right. You are not giving the search engines enough content to display in the search results. This can be fixed by a better title tag, as well as adding a decent description.
To do this, download iWeb SEO Tool, as Roddy has mentioned. http://www.ragesw.com/products/iweb-seo-tool.html
Here is a video which shows you how to use this application. http://apptorial.com/how-to-use-rage-softwares-iweb-seo-tool/
I would also recommend the iWeb SEO Video walkthrough which will teach you everything you need to know about your site and search engine optimization.

Meta Tag or Search Engine related?

Most SE results only search and show what's in the
Description or Title meta tags. Do I need to do something specific
where the search engine will search the CONTENT of the pages,
rather than what's in the Meta tags, or is this just a trait of how
some search engines work? Thanks!

Precisely! And that's why I was careful to not refer to it as
such: "Title
and Description tags"

Our web site is loaded with PDF files - when the major search

Flash Search Engine SDK

Hi Folks,
I´ve got some questions concerning the lately released
Flash Search Engine SDK.
Well, what I know so far is it allows spiders from Google or
Yahoo to read out the text used in .swf files.
But how does it really work? For example:
If you avoid using flash on a website the normal way to get
an acceptable page rank is to use things like title, keywords which
are repeatedly used in continuous text, h1/h2 tags, file names,
link names, ...
But which of those things apply on the .swf files as well?
Are link names recognized as related to their target and by
their content?
Do keywords defined in the head apply on the .swf files?
Do the spiders see dynamic generated text inside the .swf
files (text you read out of external files, xml files, ...)
I hope you can give me some useful information on how it
works exactly because I couldn´t find any useful confirmed
information on the internet so far.
Thanks beforehand.

The spiders see ALL text on all pages. They actually run a
specialized version of the player, and they go through and catch
any text. They don't catch text that is invisible, off the display
list, or off the stage, and they only catch text that is still text
(so no broken apart text). They do see the dynamically-generated
text, but the specialized player does not allow the loading of
files, so if it is XML-generated, they don't catch it. A caveat
there, the google spider will mark the XML file that you try to
load, and will crawl and cache it separately.
Also, the text does not have size or color information, so
weighting information visually does not work.
Google has not released anything (even to the Adobe devs
working on this) about how the information is getting weighted.
Here is a link to Jim Corbett's MAX session this year, which
covers all of this information and more in detail:

URL, email links in Flash swf files shows up in search engine

Hi, can you please help? I post this problem a while ago.
My problem is: I developed a website in Flash 8 on the Mac.
The Flash swf file is displayed via Dreamweaver doc. When I do a
search and, when the site is found in Google, all the links used in
the Flash swf file appears in the snippets below the main title. I
would like to know where I'm going wrong, and how can I prevent
Google from displaying the URL and email details.
Do I need to use a preloaded, or do I need to put the Flash
swf movie file in a table in Dreamwever.
Many thanks,
Blue_Mac

>I don't know how this is happening then. Search engine
spiders don't
>read through compiled files like Flash.
Thanks, this is reassuring. Although it seems to have done
just that.
The following action script is where the details are coming
from. I've used the name 'whatever" as an example. I don't mind the
URLs on view as much as I mind my email address because of security
issues.
on (release) {
//Goto Webpage Behavior
getURL("mailto:[email protected]","_blank");
//End Behavior
I'll check my files again to see if I've miss anything out -
I have done this so many times already.
Regards,
Blue_Mac

Making my website search engine friendly

Hi there
Hope somebody might be able to help me..
I am trying to make my website search engine friendly so that it lists the website, has a good ranking etc.
I have built my website with dreamweaver and some flash elements. I have used both flv content for streaming
video and swfs for information on certain pages.
The problem I have is that the website is totally built using AP divs with images inside (or the flash elements mentioned).
There is no text, unless it is contained within a jpeg, or swf.
I gather that search engines don't read images. So I have used alternative text for most of the
images, which I gather search engines, such as google, can read.
I have also used page titles, inserted html head tag descriptions and keywords.
Is there anything else I can do to make my website more search engine friendly?
Somebody told me that I should try to have hidden paragraphs of text, because it is important
that search engines have enough text to detect within my site..
Is is not enough that I have provided alt text for the images? Or should I include these hidden paragraphs of text..
And if so, how?
Also, some of my AP div images contain quite a lot of text within them.. I notice that when inserting the image
into the AP div, it gives you the option to insert alternative text OR provide a url with a longer description contained
within it.. How does that work? Is the url a html document with text inside?
Please let mne know if you have any ideas regarding any of this.
Regards
Sarah

Is is not enough that I have provided alt text for the images? Or
should I include these hidden paragraphs of text.. And if so, how?
Alt text is for web accessibility. Say your image doesn't load, alt="description" appears in the browser to give visitors some idea of what the missing image is. Similarly, Screen Readers express Alt text to people who cannot see images.
Will putting alt text on images improve your Google ranking? Not all by itself. Alt is no substitute for good old fashioned content inside HTML headings <h1> <h2> <h3>, paragraphs and lists.
Put keyword rich content on your site. Use Flash Object swapping to show Flash to people who have support for it. Everyone without Flash, including engines, screen readers and translators will get the HTML version. If JavaScript is disabled, both versions will display.
More on FlashObject swapping below:

Searching in DB files - Any search engine available ??

HELP:
I have several TIFF images I need to make it available on web as
searchable content.
Option 1:
I am planning of OCRing the images to text files. The file name
will be a unique ID. A DB table will contain meta data inforamtion
about the file. A search engine (??) can index these files. And the
results contain summary from the OCR text. And the resulting head
line will contain link to a JSP passing the UNIQUE ID as arguement
and JSP will read the tiff image for display. Thus I can track who
viewing the image and how many times.
Now any one know if there is a free search engine that can do this ?
I am looking into Lucene but I think it does not return summaries and
I am not sure if I can manipulate headlines..
Option 2: I can store the images and text in a DB (Oracle) is there
a search eingine that can index these ocred text files in db and
the result should be heading (from db meta data) linked to jsp with
doc id.
Example:
This is test <- from meta data
<p>This document contain result of your search... <- from ocr text

Lucene will allow you to do what you need -- it is content-agnostic. It has a concept of Document objects, which can contain one or more Field objects. You could have several Fields, like this:
Body -> contains the text of the file
Title -> contains the title
URL -> a web-friendly URL to retrieve the image?
PreviewURL -> a web-friendly URL to retrieve a preview?
Summary -> Short document summary
... and so on...
You can structure the Document object any way you want... Fields can be marked as stored, unstored (but still indexed...), etc.
You will need to write a couple of pieces of code to implement a lucene-based search engine:
1) Document indexer -- this is just a class that spiders through all your documents and adds them to the index. For your case, it would loop through the database and generate an index entry for each part. This should probably be on a timer to keep the index up-to-date.
2) Search UI -- this just presents the user with some way to search the documents.
Anyway, the devil's in the details, and this is no small project. Hope this gives you a good start.
