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.

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.

Problem with iWeb SEO breaking iWeb blogs (Blog Summary Widget error).

As as happened to many others, my blog was broken. The only thing that showed up when publishing was "Blog Summary Widget", no actual blog.
I came on here and searched, uninstalled with apzapper, deleted preferences before that, tried everything.
Still the problem.
Then I notice my blog works. I'm excited. I move on in my post iweb part of the process (iWeb SEO and dreamweaver edits) to then see it's broken again.
After some testing (changing 1 file at a time, one step at a time) I found that when iWeb SEO touched the home.html (where my blog is) it broke it.
This is a new phenomenon as I was doing this all the time before with no problem.
I even tried updating to the latest version of iWeb SEO and the same problem.
So if you're having this problem, and are using iWeb SEO, try it without and see if you still have the same problem.

I'm getting the same problem too. I've just updated my iWeb from 1 to 2. I've had to more or less re-create my Blog from scratch as the upgrade wrecked the summary and recent items pages (probably because I'd use jTemplate).
So I created a new Site, dragged the old blog over to it and created a brand new one in my proper site. I then copied all my formatting over AND all the entries. All looks fine in iWeb, but I see the same error messages as described here. Take a look here : http://www.andrewmay.biz/test/
Obviously I've moved a lot of stuff around from the normal White template, and deleted a few things too, but I would have hoped that iWeb wouldn't let me trash things that then broke it.

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

I'm having trouble uploading changes to look the same as what I created on the original document. Never had this problem before with iWeb. The fonts sizes and colors are all messed up now on the uploaded version and a block of color appears where it's supposed to be a white background and the block that is supposed to be color is white, etc. I've tried and tried to correct these errors but nothing works. I don't want to have to do this site all over from scratch again. Can someone help me on this? Thanks!

What's the URL of your site so we can examine it first hand? Where are you hosting your site? Have you tried publishing your site to a folder on your hard drive and opening it locally to see how the fonts look? That will tell you if it's an iWeb issue or an uploading or server issue.
If you find it's an iWeb issue try the following:
delete the iWeb preference files, com.apple.iWeb.plist and com.apple.iWeb.plist.lockfile, that resides in your Home() /Library/Preferences folder.
go to your Home()/Library/Caches/com.apple.iWeb folder and delete its contents.
Click to view full size
3. launch iWeb and republish again.

Browser troubles with iWeb 1.1.2

I've been developing a website with iWeb 1.1.2 for a client. I'm using hostmonster.com to host my domain because I don't have a mobile Me account. Because of this, I'm using FTP to publish my website to hostmonster. I've published it and uploaded all of the files to the FTP file manager. Now when I visit the actual website using safari or firefox, none of the links from the homepage work. I checked the source code, and I can't figure out anything that could be wrong. But when I visit it using Internet Explorer, the entire website works. So is there any way I can fix this so that it works with all browsers (or at least all of those three)?
here's the address in case anyone can find anything wrong with the code:

Intermittent sounds like Hardware, but try trashing the "/Users/nnnn/Library/Preferences/com.apple.internetconnect.plist" for a start.

Trouble with iWeb and Snow Leopard?

I have a iMac (early 2007) Dual Core Intel Based, and have been using iWeb for a couple of years just fine.
Recently (a few months ago) I upgraded to Snow Leopard 10.6.8 and since then my computer freezes etc...
I've been getting the dreaded Grey Screen with the Apple Logo and churning gear at startup and the computer won't get passed that point.
I've tried booting from my Snow Leopard Disk and have run Disk Utility and Repair, and I have no errors.
What's odd is that if I try to open iWeb now and start using it for more then a couple of minutes the computer gets the dreaded spinning rainbow and freezes up, forcing me to shut down often.
Now, I am only able to start my computer early in the morning after it has been turned off at night.
Any Reccomendations?
Thanks in Advance...
BJB

Assuming the actual install of Snow Leopard is OK, you could run Activity Monitor (Applications/Utilities) to see if there is any unusual activity when your Mac is idling.
If so, you can launch Console.app to see if you can see what it is that's causing it.
I had that problem on an old iMac last night where iWeb was sluggish and the ball was spinning.
It turned out that CrashReporter was hogging the CPU by continuously creating reports for an unidentified app, hidden in the System files, that was trying to launch. After tracking down and extermination it, all became peaceful again.

IE on windows have trouble with iWeb sites

certain parts of my iWeb site do not show up on IE while some HTML snippets do not work on IE.
No problem with Macs. Any idea why that is and how it can be fixed?

See this Apple doc: _iWeb: Issues publishing to MobileMe_ ...which says:
"Your website may also seem to be missing content if you view it on a Windows-based computer."

Slideshow trouble with Iweb photo links

When I click on the start slideshow link I get an "I'm sorry" page-not sure what the problem is.
www.cvmri.com under the acute and chronic MI heading.

Tony
I have just loaded it, the first time it didn't do anything, maybe I was a little impatient, the second time I clicked it the slideshow loaded.
Try clearing your cache in Safari, go to Safari > Empty Cache.. then reload the page and try again.
You could also put a ? at the end of the url in the address bar and then refresh the page.
Sometimes you need to do both!

Trouble with iWeb code snippet for drop down menu

Hello,
So, I'm having a bit of trouble figuring this out and it goes beyond my knowledge, to be honest. I'm working on a website for someone and when viewed in Safari for Mac or iPad or even iPhone, it all works out great. But, when viewed in any other browser for Mac or Windows, the drop down doesn't display the "menu heading," only what should be the first drop down selection. Not only that, that page now becomes "unselectable" and more or less dead.
Here is what it should read, and does on Safari:
Rates and Hours
FAQ - Yoga
FAQ - Reiki
FAQ - Massage
On all other browsers, it displays the FAQ - Yoga option as the "title" and only displays the other two options. So, is this something that can be fixed in the code snippet or is what I'm seeing a more involved HTML issue that would require actual skills to fix? Any help or direction would be greatly appreciated because I'd love to get this knocked out and also pick something up in addition. If I have to edit the actual HTML pages themselves I could do that as well; I've got an editor and have done that for my own site when needed. Anyway, thank you very much in advance!

No, it shouldn't and it doesn't. It should look like :

FAQ - Yoga

Here's the correct part :
<select>

          <option value="http://yogareikimassage.com/MG/FAQ_-_Personal_Training.html*_top">FAQ and Reserve - Training</option>
</select>
The <select> item was missing. And if you don't want the first line in the menu (Rates, Hours, Reservations) then don't enter it in the first place.
BTW, it's not a dropdown menu. It's a selection list in a form.

Internet Explorer 7 - Trouble loading iWeb 08 Pages

Is anyone else having trouble with iWeb 08 pages not loading properly when viewed in Internet Explorer 7?
Everything loads fine on a Mac (Firefox 2.0) and even on a PC using Firefox but when viewing the site from IE7 it seems like pages containing photos (ie photo pages and blog entries) are having trouble loading completely. The images never appear or some images appear or some thumbnails fail to appear in the new photo gallery page.
Solutions? Work arounds? Or is this just a bug that needs to be repaired in an upgrade?
I love the Mac but the new iWeb and iPhoto seem a little glitchy out of the box.

mtd,
I tested your site on my PC with IE 7. No problems. In fact I tested load times for both Safari (Mac) and IE (PC) and they were almost identical. I compared screens side by side and they looked the same. Some of you may not have updated versions of IE. Additionally the IE browser settings can be a bit tricky. You know, it's MS so troubleshooting is a given! One suggestion is to delete all the cookies currently running in IE 7 and give it another viewing.
I have noticed that some themes slow down both browsers. It's a matter of complexity of the theme.
All the Best,

Finding and opening iWeb webpage files in iWeb SEO

I have a successfully published website (hosted by GoDaddy). I want to add or enhance tags, but cannot find the files for the published webpage. I can't even find the files using the modification date. Where does iWeb store these files and how can I open them with iWeb SEO?

To use iWeb SEO Tool you need to publish to a local folder first. You select this option in the Publishing Settings Page which you can open by clicking the Site Name at the top of the left column in the iWeb window.
Then browse to this folder using SEO Tool and select each HTML file in turn to add the data to.

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.

Not seeing new title tags, iWeb SEO, iWeb 09

I have been working with iWeb SEO tool to write title tags for a site created in iWeb 09. After publishing to folder, I proceed to write title tags and save each new tag. When I publish I continue to see the old title tags. I have tried ftp for upload as well. Dates on my files and folders indicate the upload is complete, and I have tested with changes to content. Everything seems to work except overwriting the original title tags. I believe I set the original tag using a Google tool. Any thoughts?

I have published this site three ways, one using SEO Publish which uploads from folder (home/My Web Sites/site folder) to ISP, two using Fetch to upload from folder to ISP, and third, Apply All in SEO tool (which I wonder if it loads to domain.sites2 since I do not tell it where to go) and then publishing using iWeb ftp. I wait a day between uploads just to be certain of things, as well as check the my ISP folder for the date/time of my last upload. Each of the three ways is successfully up loading files and folders, yet none succeeds in writing the new title tags. I am quite perplexed by this. I thought title tags were embedded on each page they are assigned too (would be in Dreamweaver), but it acts as if I have a title tag somewhere else which is showing up identically on every page of my site, over riding my new title tags. Any insights? Thank you for your reply.

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.
