Title Tags not working with iWeb SEO Tool

I created my website using iWeb and realizing iWeb is very controlling over title tags and such, I downloaded the iWeb SEO Tool.  I have recorded my title tags and codes but when I search my site on google, Home is still recorded as the title tag.  I even went so far as to add an HTML Snippet to change the title tag using java script but still no luck.  Please help! 

The main question is :
     Does the title you added show in the browser title bar?
If it does then SEO tools did its job.
But don't expect Google to stand waiting next to you and updates its database after you pressed the ok button.
Check again in a few weeks/months.
And do not waste your time with that silly application or using a JavaScript in the HTML Snippet for the intended purpose. Google does not execute the JavaScript.
Just read this very carefully :
iWeb uses the textbox in the Header layer of an iWeb page as the title in the browserwindow.
Do not remove the original textbox, as you cannot replace it other than by selecting another theme and then change it back to the original theme again. Ruining the layout in the process.
If the textbox in the Header is missing, iWeb uses a textbox down the page in the Content layer. If that textbox is also missing, it uses another textbox. If that fails it uses the pagename in the Sidebar.
Sometimes you may want a different text in the titlebar and not display it on the page itself. Or not display it at all.
So use that textbox in the Header layer. Type your text. Then select the textbox. In the Inspector choose T, click a color to open the color palette and drag the opacity slider to 0 (zero).
Do Command-T to open the font palette and make the font smaller. (Or do Command--(minus)) Also use a font that doesn't change to an image. Arial is a good font. Perhaps do it first before making the text invisble.
Resize the textbox. You may want to change the height of the Header layer.
Do Command-Shift-B to move the textbox to the back, possibly behind other objects.
Next add a optional second textbox to the Header layer and use that one to display text on the page.
If you want to move the textbox to the front again to make changes, but can't remember the location on the page, drag the area with the mouse to select the objects.
Deselect objects you do not want to move forward by Command-dragging the mouse over these objects.
Next do Command-Shift-F to move the textbox to the front. Repeat the steps in reverse order to make the text visible.
Practice.
Then concentrate on creating interesting webpages.

  • 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.

  • Struts tag not working with Jbo Tag-BUG??

    Hi
    I am developing application using Struts with BC4J and encountered this problem.
    In a JSP page if I have <jbo:DataScroller> tag and <html:cancel /> button, the button is not working.
    If I remove the datascroller tag cancel button works fine (the way it should).
    Not sure why this is happening, can Jdev team look into this.
    Thanks

  • Quicktime file with corrected audio track not working with iWeb Gallery

    Hello Everyone,
    I shot a video and accidentally recorded on one audio track only (posted in another post). I've fixed the audio in Quicktime Pro by selecting the audio track (track 1) onto track 2 and hence I've got "fake" stereo or mono audio. The QuickTime file plays perfectly on my desktop. The audio is coming through both channels, as well.
    Now, my problem is that when I've tried to upload the file to my iLife '08 iWeb site, the audio is back to one channel again. The video plays beautifully, however. I even uploaded the QuickTime file to my iDisk and from there to my web gallery through iLife '06. Still, the audio is only coming through on one track.
    Hmm, is there a setting in QuickTime Pro that I might have missed after I "fixed" the audio? Like I said, the file plays perfectly on my desktop. I've even burned the file to DVD and it plays perfectly on my home DVD player. Somehow along the upload process the 2nd audio track is dropped. Any advice is very much appreciated.
    Frustrated in Texas,
    -Jack

    Hello QuickTimeKirk,
    Thanks for all of your advice and to the others who have chimed in with their input. My audio problem is solved. The problem with one of the audio tracks getting dropped once the QuickTime file was uploaded to my Web Gallery has been fixed. I had to re-export the original QuickTime File and somehow the tracks corrected themselves. I believe they were canceling themselves out the first time. Weird.
    Now, however, I see that I'm getting the blue Quicktime symbol when I open the URL. It takes about a minute (at least with my cable connection) for the poster frame to show up. I did flatten the file and have it set to play automatically. See what you get on your end: http://web.mac.com/honeybear7/Site/Movie.html if you don't mind. This is just a test page, so this is not the final presentation. The window size of the movie, however, is set.
    What is the best possible setting I can have the file set on for it to play the quickest? I know much of it is dependent on the connection speed. This also is not a small file. It's 214 Mb, but it's a 40 minute movie and looks okay on the web. Having burned it on DVD as a 2.9 gig file it, of course, looks much better with no blocking. I originally shot it with an HD Canon camera.
    Any more advice is greatly appreciated. Have a great weekend.

  • C4D External Compositing tag not working with Cineware AE CC

    I've got a problem which shouldn't really be an issue but I can't seem to get my head around… I understand if this is a mouthful or I think I'm explaining jargon which you're already aware of, so apologies in advance but it's best that my question's clear…
    I've created a scene in C4D which consists of a book opening to a certain page which will have an image on it. As it opens onto this specific page, the camera zooms inside of the image on this page, which then cuts to footage from our edit.
    The image which is on the page is going to be a 2D graphic element created in AE, and this element needs to track with the 3D data which was created in C4D so it appears seamless (once the tracking data has been imported into AE and I've applied the graphic element to the page).
    In the C4D scene; the page which will contain the image has a null with an external compositing tag attached so that the information will translate once imported into AE. The problem is that when I export my C4D file into AE with the 3D data, the null which should be locked on the page where the image should be sitting, isn't synced to the C4D animation at all and it's moving almost to its own key framing.
    I'm using After Effects CC and Cinema 4D R15 if that helps. AE CC now uses CineWare instead of the traditional importing of 3D data from C4D.
    I've also attached the project files if it's worth looking at.  Files OriginalPageTurn_1.1/1.2 are just XRef links for Passport_1.4

    You need to remove/ temporarily disable the Cineware plug-in and install the AEC importer. That's a known conflict.

  • Can't find images in Iweb SEO Tools to add alt-tags!

    Hi everyone. I'm trying to add alt-tags to some images on an iweb site with iweb SEO tools but I can't get it to open the containing folder. I have a gallery set up with 6 categories and, in each of these categories, there are a few images. I navigate to the folder that contains each image (it actually contains 4 - the full sized image and three thumnails for use elsewhere - all of them jpgs) but iweb SEO Tools is just not recognising that the folder contains any images at all! I navigate my way through my file structure and, when I finally get to the containing folder, it hits a dead end and will not find the contents of it. Any ideas!?
    An example of my file structure is as follows:
    RRF
    - Gallery
    - Pages
    - Landscapes_files
    - Media
    - dintonpastures [containing folder for images]
    - dintonpastures.jpg [that SEO refuses to see!]
    Any help would be really appreciated!!

    Photo templates are written in Javascript and cannot be accessed by iWeb SEO. Only images you create on a blank page or without using the photo template (HTML generated). They don't tell you that on Rage's website, in fact I find their advertising misleading in that they claim that you can alt tag "all" images in iWeb. But, it's free software, so you get what you pay for.

  • Iweb SEO tool question

    I tried to add a don't follow don't index tag to the header section
    in the site settings tab in iweb SEO but then after applying it to the entire
    site and uploading the pages I wanted including this tag found that
    except for a few elements the pages once uploaded looked blank.
    So I went back and deleted the new tag out of iweb SEO but now it
    is still messing up the pages I try and use it with.
    I have a huge site and tons of tags entered in the iweb SEO tool
    and so I don't want to start fresh.
    It all looks okay in the tool but it is messing up every page on the site
    in the same way when I apply the tool.   
    Is there anyway I can do some kind of reset without losing all my titles and
    tags?
    I have searched the web and Rage softwares site but can't
    find an answer to this so if anyone here has any ideas I would really appreciate it.
    I don't even really care about the don't follow tags now - I just want to fix my site.

    Please email us and we can help you solve this problem. Please include your website URL and anymore details such as a screenshot of what the page looks like after applying your tags.
    You can take a screenshot by holding down the COMMAND and SHIFT keys on your keyboard and then pressing the number 3. An image file will appear on your desktop, please send that to me. If your email client asks, select the option to send the full size, or original image file.
    I suspect this is a very easy thing to fix once we have more details about the problem.

  • Modifer keys do not work with mouse in Illustrator

    Below is a copy of a bug report I just submitted to Adobe. I don't suppose any users have run across this and found a solution or workaround?
    I found someone else with this problem in an archived topic thread, but the only response that poor fellow got was an accusation of not following instructions (His problem wasn't user error, BTW).
    Thanks
    ******BUG******
    Concise problem statement:
    Modifer keys do not work with mouse: For example, free transform or rotate behaviors that require "Click-Ctrl" .
    Steps to reproduce bug:
    1. select object
    2. select free transform tool
    3. left click (without releasing) a corner of the bounding box.
    4. start dragging
    5. press ctrl
    Results:
    object behaves as though the ctrl key was not pressed. i.e. the cursor does not change shape and the object scales rather than distorts.
    Expected results: The cursor should change shape as the ctrl key is pressed and the object should distort rather than scale.
    Additional information: This behavior is intermittent. Occasionally Illustrator recognizes the "Click-Ctrl" combination and behaves exactly as the help file predicts it will. The cursor changes shape and the object distorts rather than scales. I can offer no rhyme or reason for when Illustrator will behave as advertised and when it will ignore the modifier keys.
    The example above involves the free transform tool, but the problem occurs just as often with other tool behaviors that require a modifier key + mouse combination.
    Primarily using Wacom Intuos3 tablet. (with latest drivers), but have also tried combinations with microsoft mouse or both mice installed.
    Also, immediately after an occurrence Illustrator bug, left AI open, went to a different app that uses mouse+modifier (Ctrl+Click). That different app recognizes Ctrl+Click with no problems whatsoever.

    Thanks Guys,
    Good to know it's working for you. I guess that's the nature of intermittent bugs. Of course, Adobe's bug report form has a field for version, which I, of course, filled in. Sorry I didn't add it to this post. I'm using the latest version CS3 v13.0.2.
    Stephen,
    Sorry I was not more clear when I said, "For example, ...". I was talking about the modifier keys not working with several different tools. The Free Transform tool advertises functionality that is supposed to work with a "Click (down, but don't release)then hold down Ctrl" combination. The Rotate tool advertises a behavior that is supposed to work with an "Alt-Click" combination. These are just 2 examples of the modifier keys not working. I focused primarily on one example in the bug report(ctrl after and in addition to click in the free transform tool, not alt-click in the rotate tool).
    Here is what I expect(quoted from Adobe's CS3 help file)
    (From the "Distort Objects with the Free transform tool" help topic)
    "Select one or more objects.
    Select the Free Transform tool .
    Start dragging a corner handle on the bounding box (not a side handle), and then do one of the following:
    Hold down Ctrl (Windows) or Command (Mac OS) until the selection is at the desired level of distortion.
    Hold down Shift+Alt+Ctrl (Windows) or Shift+Option+Command (Mac OS) to distort in perspective."
    (from the "Rotate an object by a specific angle" help topic:)
    You can control the exact angle of rotation with the Rotate command.
    Select one or more objects.
    "Do one of the following:
    To rotate around the center point, choose Object > Transform > Rotate, or double-click the Rotate tool.
    To rotate around a different reference point, select the Rotate tool. Then Alt‑click (Windows) or Option‑click (Mac OS) where you want the reference point to be in the document window.
    Enter the rotation angle in the Angle text box...."
    These Tool based mouse-key combinations do occasionally work as they are supposed to, so I know what the expected results are supposed to look like, but whether they work or not appears to depend on the phase of the moon, the day of the week, and the color of the president's underwear.
    Other non-tool based mouse-key combinations in Illustrator work consistently all the time - Ctrl-A for Select All as just one example that always works.
    Thanks Again

  • IWeb SEO Tool not working

    I've think I fully understand the procedure to add Meta tags and change the Titles for pages created by iWeb using the iWeb SEO Tool but it is just not working for me, can somebody help?
    The site in question www.thepropertyphotoclinic.co.uk is an iWeb constructed site uploaded by FTP to a server (not MobileMe). As I understand it I publish this site to a folder on my Mac. I then access this (folder) site using the SEO Tool. I add tags, headers etc. At first I assumed you could then republish by the FTP from iWeb with the new tags in place. I now understand that you have to publish by FTP using the 'publish' button on the SEO Tools dialogue. This I have done, but the tags and titles do not appear on the published site (when I check 'view source' in Safari).
    1. Why after taking about 10 minutes to publish via SEO Tools doea the site not appear with tags?
    2. Do I take it that had this method worked for me, I would have to do this whole procedure EVERY time I make a change to the website? ie, publish to a folder, reapply the tags, re-upload? This would be impossible for one of my sites which changes daily and is about 300Mb, as it takes hours to upload.
    Heeeelp!!

    Your title tags are present in the HTML files and at the top of the browser window. Perhaps you didn't empty the browser cache and refresh the window when you viewed it?
    You have to publish your site to a local folder to be able to add title tags, meta tags and meta descriptions whether you use iWeb SEO Tool or an editor. The advantage of the Tool is that it remembers the previously applied tags and, if you haven't added any pages or changed them significantly, refreshing them is a matter of moments.
    Apart from adding tags, the other very important reason for publishing to a local folder is to optimize your files. This will result in pages that download around 50% faster in the browser and is particularly important for a business site.
    Rage software's WebCrusher and Ton Brands Web Site Maestro will not only do this but also upload the changed files only....
    http://www.iwebformusicians.com/SearchEngines/Optimize.html
    When you add pages, hyperlinks or make significant changes to your site you should also refresh and upload the sitemap.xml and notify the search engines. Sitemap Automator takes all the work out of this time consuming task....
    http://www.iwebformusicians.com/SearchEngines/Sitemap.html
    There is a workflow that has to be repeated every time you publish. You can get a copy of the checklist by going to this page.....
    http://www.iwebforbusiness.com/SEO/SEO-Book-Sample-Request.html
    Although the optimizer applications will find and upload the changed files only, I also build larger sites - bigger than about 3Mb - in sections on separate domain files to make them easier to handle and update.....

    Why?
    Can anybody help here.
    THANKS A LOT.

    Did you check the files in the folder to see if the files modified has the correct dates? I've had folders with one date and the files inside with newer. That might be the case here.
    Also you might try using a 3rd party FTP client like the free Cyberduck to upload the files. It can be setup to upload just the new or modified files if the steps in this tutorial are followed: Old Toad's Tutorial #2 - Uploading only those published new or newly edited files when using a 3rd party FTP client.

  • Iweb SEO tool not updating website

    I've figured out how to use Rages iweb seo tool however, it's not showing up on the web. Why not? It still shows the old "welcome" as my page title or "about us" as my page title. I can see the information I put into the tool and I've clicked "apply." When I click "apply" it says "your changes have been applied", but it's not updating! So, I tried publishing WITHIN the SEO tool and then I did see the changes (for the title tag) but my navigation bar was removed and I could only get to the home page. It looks like the url was different as well.
    Please help!

    iWeb SEO tool is a very useful application but I wouldn't recommend using for FTP. After republishing your site with any changes, reapply the tags with SEO tool and then upload your files with an FTP application.
    If you don't have one, the freeware Cyberduck is good.....
    http://cyberduck.ch/
    The reason that your website navigation is not showing is probably because the feed.xml file is missing. If you are using the iWeb default navigation you should consider getting rid of it and building a custom one in a text box as this is a lot better from the SEO point of view.

  • IWeb SEO tool question about tagging images: what do others do?

    I've been reading everybody's posts and started to use iWeb SEO Tool to add meta tags to all my pages. (since google couldn't verify my site with html) The page titles, keywords, and meta tags are relatively easy to decide on, but I don't know what to do about some of the images.
    If it's a definite photo of a subject, no problem, but what about those pesky shapeimage5_link0 and shapeimage_1.jpg files?
    What do i name them ? line 1, thicker line 2, arrow? (I'm being flippant here, ... really).
    I've just been calling them 'stained glass link' or 'next arrow link' but that's pretty dull.
    In some cases (for the lines) i've titled them with the name of the webpage again, but with several lines on the page, that tag is repeated, a lot. (And i read that if you repeat the same tag too frequently, your site is banned from google, which i don't want.)
    I thought they didn't matter too much but when i did a search from one of the search engines, the description of the web page actually included shapeimage5a.png or some such thing, and i don't want that to appear in people's searches !!
    So what do other people do about these? How do you name them?
    Thanks for the suggestions
    Elizabeth

    You'll get instructions about the HTML verification file here....
    http://www.iwebformusicians.com/SearchEngines/Tools.html
    The main thing with images is TEXT. Put a text caption for each. If possible, don't use the iWeb Photos and Albums templates.
    Put a text description at the top of every page with keywords in both the title and text. The spiders will pick up on this.
    If you don't do this, at least put a fairly long title tag in. Make sure the first few words are descriptive of the page so that they are relevant to a page bookmark.
    If the search engines are picking up on stuff like "shapeimage5_link0" it means that you haven't supplied any unique and relevant text!

  • How do I get site analytics with iWeb 09 MobileMe Rage iWeb SEO tool?

    I have two sites of consideration both registered and forwarded from GoDaddy:
    bicycedriver.com    several pages
    bicycledriver.org     just one page
    I was not getting site analytics data on referring sites and search engine/keyword data with code applied to bicycledriver.COM. Thats the site I'm interested in getting data. Then with the iWeb SEO tool, I accidentally applied the StatCounter and Godaddy Site Analytics code to bicycledriver.ORG, another one of several sites.
    Now I get referring sites and searchengine/keyword data on bicycledriver.ORG but NOT on bicycledriver.COM  
    Should I find some way to reverse the above situation,... what would that be, or can someone tell me what's going on and how to fix it?
    David

    Ethmoid:
    You're right.  I did know that, got it from this post by Akdream but miscopied it to my note pad where I copy and paste.  Thanks. 
    bicycledriver:
    There is no performance difference between CNAME and regular URL forwarding.  But if you mask with URL forwarding then the restrictions that Ethmoid pointed out come into play. 
    The drawback to using domain name forwarding with masking:
    Visitors can only enter your web site via the first page.
    Visitors can only bookmark the first page of your site.
    If a visitor refreshes a page they will be taken back to the first page of the site.k
    Search engines will only be able to use the first page of your site for indexing and rating your site.
    #4 is a big drawback.  That can seriously minimize what search engines can learn about your site.

    iWeb SEO Tool can modify your site after you've published to MobileMe. It will do it on the MMe server. Takes longer but you can avoid having to publish to a folder and then uploading from there. Also the latest version, 1.7.2, is supposed to work with blog pages according to the developer: http://www.ragesw.com/products/iweb-seo-tool.html
