Publish through Iweb SEO only?

I just was told on RAGE forum that I should only publish through Iweb SEO tool after installing google analytics. This was after i reinstalled it yesterday, and it appeared to be gone today. He said it went away because I published changes in my site throug I web. I had analytics on there for a couple months previously , publishing through Iweb, didn't seem to effect it. Is this accurate?

Every time you publish changes to your site you should open it in iWeb SEO Tool and click the "Re-Apply Saved Tags" button.
The tags are added to the html files after publishing to a local folder so, if you publish any changes direct from iWeb, these tags will be missing from those html files that are uploaded as the original info will be overwritten.
After doing this I then optimize my files for faster download using either Web Site Maestro or WebCrusher and use the optimizer app to upload the changed files only.

  • I changed web hosts and can't publish through iWeb SEO Tool or Rage Site Map Automator. Do I need to delete the old site map?

    I switched to iPage hosting since Mobile Me is expiring. Also recently upgraded to OS X 10.7.3 and am using iWeb 3.0.4 for my web site design. I published directly to the FTP from iWeb but all title tags, meta tags have disappeared and I'm not showing up in Google or others. I tried publishing from iWeb SEO but it couldn't complete the process.
    Should I first publish to a folder as I did before with Mobile Me, then delete all old sitemaps and start over with the Site Map Automator and then try to publish from the SEO tool? Will I lose the key words and meta tags that are already in iWeb SEO?
    Thanks!

    The problem is that most tech support people don't understand how iWeb structures a site.
    When a visitor types in "domain-name-com" the browser expects to find an index.html in the root folder on the server. In "normal" websites the index.html file is the first page of the site.
    The iWeb index.html file is a redirect to the first, or landing, page of the site which is the one at the top of the left column in iWeb just below the site name.
    iWeb produces two index.html files.
    One is outside of the folder containing the rest of the files and directs to - folder-name/home-page-name.html
    The other one is inside the folder and directs to - home-page-name.html
    You have two choices of how you upload the files since you are publishing to a local folder.
    You can upload the whole folder plus the external index.html to the root folder on the server and the URL to any page will be...
    http://www.domain-name.com/site-name/page-name.html
    If you upload the contents of the site folder, and not the folder or the external index.html, the URL will be...
    http://www.domain-name.com/page-name.html

  • Failure to launch - can't publish through iweb

    HELP!!!!!!! Neiter the genius bar nor the .mac support can help with the following: I'm a .mac account holder and can't seem to publish my website through iweb. Every time I hit publish, the system asks me to log in with my mac user name and password which I do and my existence as a .mac account holder and the matching password is validated promptly. Then, nothing happens, my site doesn't publish. :-((( Every time I hit publish I have to go through the same drill of signing in without result - I'm ready to scream!!!!!

    I can't recall a specific fix for your problem, although I have heard of other people experiencing this. Want to try something anyway?
    Try reinstalling the iWeb 1.1.1 update right over what you have installed there. Download the full update from Apple from this location...
    http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/iweb111.html
    See if it makes any difference at all...

  • Site doesn't show up despite publishing through iWeb

    I'm publishing my site to an outside server with IWeb, and though the files are showing up on the server itself, when I attempt to access it from a browser, I constantly get a 404 error. Don't understand why, as all files show in in cpanel.
    Am using bluehost.
    Thanks for the help!
    Chris

    I am still having this issue. I am pretty sure you are right about my site being forwarded (it is) but I am not with GoDaddy. I am with 1 and 1 hosting and they have checked out the issue and informed me that they can't do anything.
    If you are using Safari, my site loads as a white page.
    It also only seems to happen in Safari. Does anyone else have this problem using internet services other than GoDaddy? I am running out of options, other than the possibilty of not being able to forward my url.... which makes no sense.
    Help!

  • IWeb SEO Tool - stuck during publish

  • Publishing multiple websites through iWeb

    Hello,
    I could use a little help. I have my main website published through iWeb and the mobleme system.
    I would like to make another website (which already has a host) on iWeb but can't figured out how to do it.
    Any help would be great. Thanks

    Okay, so lets just get this clear first of all - which version of iWeb are you using? iWeb 08 or 09? There are differences - if using 09 then click on the name of the site that you want to publish and there should then be a drop down menu at the top of the page that has FTP Mobile Me, FTP Server and then Publish Local Folder. To publish to a folder just click on the Publish Local Folder option and your site will be published to a folder.
    iWeb 09 will let you publish individual sites.
    If using 08, then this is an 09 forum and there is an 08 forum that you can post to.
    However, in iWeb 08 you can choose to Publish to MobileMe and/or then publish to a folder- in 08 there is no ftp to server option and unfortunately, as you have discovered it will publish all sites rather than just individually. If you want to publish individually, then you need to separate out your domain files or use the programme iWebSites to help keep your sites separate.

  • IWeb SEO Tool 1.9.1

    I published my site through iWeb SEO Tool and now can't publish through iWeb, please could someone help me resolve this.

    What exactly are you trying to do using iWebSEO?  Most people download and use iWebSEO as a tool for adding Google analytics and title tags to their websites.  So this means that if you make changes to your website in iWeb, then you need to publish to a local folder and then open your html folder using iWebSEO, so that you can re-apply Google analytics and title tags before uploading your site again.
    Is this what you are trying to do?
    If you want to use iWebSEO, then you will need to publish your site from iWeb to a local folder.  You do not "re-import" as you put it.  You are not importing anything, simply opening the html files of your site with iWebSEO and no, if you want Google analytics or to add title tags, then no, your site will not update automatically - you need to add this to your site, or re-apply the saved tags to your site after publishing from iWeb and before uploading.  This is what iWebSEO is for.
    To update your site, you need to alter and update this in iWeb itself and then publish your site to a local folder.  iWebSEO is designed for adding Google analytics and tags to your site and not for updating the contents itself, so no you can't use it for this.  Do this in iWeb first.
    Cyberduck is a dedicated ftp programme that you can use only for uploading files to a server - this is the only thing that it was designed for and you can only use it for this purpose.
    I use iWebSEO to add tags and analytics to my own site, so I make changes and then publish from iWeb to a local folder.
    I then open my site files using iWebSEO and add my tags and analytics.
    After having added these I then choose to upload my site using Cyberduck.

  • How do I remove old web site when publishing new site with same URL in iweb? Hit replace when publishing new iweb site (so we could have control over changes) but new site name is attached to old via a / after our www address we want to keep.

    I hit the replace when publishing the new iweb site (so we could have control over changes - last one was not an apple based site) but new site name is attached to old via a forward slash and underscore after our www address. Makes it very messy with a very long web address.  Original address now followed by iweb site name followed by name of first page? Went for iweb as not that computer literate - all going so well?! Cheers for help in anticipation. Have to get off to work now but be great end to week if we could be sorted tonight. Rupes

    Well yes of course, if you try and publish through iWeb there won't be an option to publish without your site folder which is exactly why I told you to download Cyberduck and use Cyberduck to upload your site to your server having published your site from iWeb to a local folder.  That is what you need to do if you don't want your site name to be included in yoru url.
    It would have been easier also if you had used Cyberduck initially to connect to your server and delete your old site yourself - at least that way you would have deleted the correct files rather than relying on your hosting service to do it and doing it incorrectly.
    Download Cyberduck and then select the publish to a local folder option from iWeb and then use Cyberduck to upload your site to your server, but rather than uploading the whole site folder and separate index file, upload ONLY the contents of your site folder and then your url will be http://www.domain.com/page_name.html.
    It really isn't rocket science!

  • Trouble with Iweb SEO

    So I am finally catching up to the 21st century by getting into Google analytics and Stat tracker.
    I downloaded Iweb SEO tool from rage and did about 2 hours of work filling in all the correct titles, meta data, etc...
    I published (from Iweb SEO) to the mobile me account.
    Went to look at the source code of my site and none of the info is there.
    Closed Iweb SEO, reopened and all the information is still in Iweb SEO.
    I repeated the publishing process from Iweb SEO and waited a few hours.
    Rechecked source from website and still info is not there.
    I am now republishing my entire site from Iweb (which will take all night).
    Will this work? Am I missing anything?

    How are you accessing the published files after applying the tags with SEO? If you're using your browser and its View Code option clear your browser's cache as JRIH suggested. If you're accessing the files directly on the iDisk and using a text editor make sure you're not using the locale iDisk copy on your hard drive if you have iDisk Sync enabled in the System/MobileMe/iDisk preferences.

  • IWeb Publishing New Version But Only Allows Me to Edit Old Version

    In OSX 10.7.5 and iWeb 3.0.4, the iWeb app opens to show my website as it was 1 year ago. When I visit the site published on the web, it shows my most current version of the site as it's posted through a local folder and online Dropbox. How do I get my most current version to show through iWeb so I can make further edits?

    You need to download iWeb user sites or domain cracker to be able to open individual domain files.  In OS 10.7 and above, you can only open single domain.sites files.
    Download it and you should be able to open your current domain file.

    I updated to os x 10.8.5 today and now I cannot publish changes to my web page through iweb.  iweb crashes every time I try to publish

    First do the following:
    1 - delete the iWeb preference file, com.apple.iWeb.plist, that resides in your
         User/Home/Library/ Preferences folder.
    2 - delete iWeb's cache file, Cache.db, that is located in your
    User/Home/Library/Caches/com.apple.iWeb folder (Snow Leopard and Earlier).
    NOTE:  In Lion and Mountain Lion the Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and hit the Enter button - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.
    Next, in Lion and Mountain Lion the Home/Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and press the Return key - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.
    To open your domain file in Lion or Mountain Lion or to switch between multiple domain files Cyclosaurus has provided us with the following script that you can make into an Applescript application with Script Editor. Open Script Editor, copy and paste the script below into Script Editor's window and save as an application.
    do shell script "/usr/bin/defaults write com.apple.iWeb iWebDefaultsDocumentPath -boolean no"delay 1
    tell application "iWeb" to activate
    You can download an already compiled version with this link: iWeb Switch Domain.
    Just launch the application, find and select the domain file in your Home/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder that you want to open and it will open with iWeb. It modifies the iWeb preference file each time it's launched so one can switch between domain files.
    WARNING: iWeb Switch Domain will overwrite an existing Domain.sites2 file if you select to create a new domain in the same folder.  So rename your domain files once they've been created to something other than the default name.

  • Trouble with iweb SEO tool publishing to FTP address

    Trying to publish using SEO tool to my FTP address and nothing happens in the status bar. I selected the folder to upload and choose the right server folder but no go. Any suggestions. Do I need to go on my host and clear out the publishing folder first? Also, do people recommend iWeb SEO tool over iMAP? I know SEO is free so I am trying that first. I use I tweak to add in google analytics so not sure how that works with SEO tool? Do I need to run iTweak and then iWeb SEO then publish? Thanks again.

    I just tested it with a section of a website and it uploaded fine. Its going to depend on the size of your site files.
    Are you using the latest V 1.3?
    It's the first time I've tested the built in FTP as I usually add the meta stuff and then optimize before uploading. It doesn't seem to take any longer than the other FTP applications I use.
