There is no SEO section so I do not know where exactly to ask this question, but here it is. https://www.google.ca/?gfe_rd=cr&ei=jgm3VIqFNtCy8wfH3YD4CA#q=twitter.com Do you see how Google lists Twitter results in two columbs underneath the main heading title? How does one achieve that result with their website? Does only Google decides to make it show up that way?

For a long time, I think I have been using heading tags wrong on websites. They always show like this on Google. Websitename websitename.com/category?name=mystery Posted by Night Flyer; 7 days ago; 5 views. « first; « prev; 1 of 1; next »; last ». Contact Us; @ 2014 websitename Inc. All Rights Reserved. As you can see, Google takes all the heading tags on my page and puts them in the description of the search result. So I have finally come to the conclusion that I should not be using heading tags for those things. Am I correct on that?

I am using html5 and all the pages have h2 headings as titles. They all show up in google search results fine. The only thing that doesn't show up fine are some of the descriptions under each heading. Some meta descriptions show up fine under the correct heading title, while rest shows ALL the heading tags AS description under each search result. For eg. Cars www.mywebsite.com/category?id=5&name=cars 4 days ago - Mywebsite · Login · Signup · About · Lola's Dress · Create a product · Find Products · News Feed. Recent Products ... The above description includes the h2 heading tags of all the pages when it should only show the description of the page that I setup in the meta tags. Anyone know why this is happening?

From my experience, using Google's sitemap generator to generate a sitemap is not that good. It creates page that you do not want to show up. I am wondering what the best method is for creating a sitemap of a website so that only certain pages of the website show up on Google?

Hi, I want to make a functionality similar to google's did you mean as anytime user searches for wrong word that is misspelled word then I need to correct it or suggest a word similar to the searched word. Please suggest asap.

Good Afternoon All, I have set out to create a script which will hopefully add an event to an existing google calendar (as a background process using details recorded during the completion of a form) the script to initalise on the submission of the form. However, I have been unable to achieve any results whilst working on this task, I have only witnessed blank screens. Perhaps I am doing something wrong? Can you help? The required steps: 1. user completes form including date from & date to. 2. user clicks submit 3. onclick(); starts php script 4. php script takes the dates as variables 5. php script uses the predefined google account username and password to authenticate 6. User returns to homepage (Google event added) This is my code so far: (removed ID's for privacy) <?php error_reporting(E_ALL); require_once 'google-api-php-client/src/Google_Client.php'; require_once 'google-api-php-client/src/contrib/Google_CalendarService.php'; session_start(); if ((isset($_SESSION)) && (!empty($_SESSION))) { echo "There are cookies<br>"; echo "<pre>"; print_r($_SESSION); echo "</pre>"; } // This is the file I am using ,,, i have cut out the ID's for privacy $client = new Google_Client(); $client->setApplicationName("Google Calendar PHP Starter Application"); $client->setClientId('MY CLI ID HERE'); $client->setClientSecret('MY CLI SECRECT KEY HERE'); $client->setRedirectUri('http://localhost/index.php'); $client->setDeveloperKey('MY API KEY HERE'); $cal = new Google_CalendarService($client); if (isset($_GET['logout'])) { echo "<br><br><font size=+2>Logging out</font>"; unset($_SESSION['token']); } if (isset($_GET['code'])) { echo "<br>I got a code from Google = ".$_GET['code']; // You won't see this if redirected later $client->authenticate($_GET['code']); $_SESSION['token'] = $client->getAccessToken(); header('Location: http://' . $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'] . $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']); echo "<br>I got the token = ".$_SESSION['token']; // <-- not needed to get here unless location uncommented } if (isset($_SESSION['token'])) { echo "<br>Getting access"; $client->setAccessToken($_SESSION['token']); } if ($client->getAccessToken()){ echo "<hr><font size=+1>I have access to your calendar</font>"; $event = new Google_Event(); $event->setSummary('Halloween'); $event->setLocation('The Neighbourhood'); $start = new Google_EventDateTime(); $start->setDateTime('2013-9-29T10:00:00.000-05:00'); $event->setStart($start); $end = new Google_EventDateTime(); $end->setDateTime('2013-9-29T10:25:00.000-05:00'); $event->setEnd($end); $createdEvent = $cal->events->insert('###', $event); echo "<br><font size=+1>Event created</font>"; echo "<hr><br><font size=+1>Already connected</font> (No need to login)"; } else { $authUrl = $client->createAuthUrl(); print "<hr><br><font size=+2><a href='$authUrl'>Connect Me!</a></font>"; } $url = 'http://' . $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'] . $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']; echo "<br><br><font size=+2><a href=$url?logout>Logout</a></font>"; ?> <html></html> Here's a video demonstration I created: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m3N4YbqiYR8 Many Thanks for reading and future contributions towards helping me.

Hi, I found that Google introduced a new tool for Webmasters, "Disavow Links", that enables you to disavow links to your site. If you've been notified of a manual spam action based on "unnatural links" pointing to your site, this tool can help you address the issue. If you haven't gotten this notification, this tool generally isn't something you need to worry about." Google says its engineers have been beta testing the new feature for weeks now, although there have been rumors of the impending new addition for months. The tool is now live, and you can find it by logging into your Webmaster Tools account and navigating to https://www.google.com/webmasters/tools/disavow-links-main

I have a site that fetches reviews on various renowned car dealers (i.e. Fordham Toyota, Westchester Toyota, Toyota Of Manhattan etc.) from major review sites like CitySeach, Dealer Rater, Insider Pages etc. Basically the functionality of this site is to allow business owners to monitor their online reviews on major review sites. Additionally, the site also pulls comments from Facebook and twitter (based on keywords) and also displays Google Alerts. Presently I am using Google Place Details API into my site to show business reviews from Google+. The API is working but it doesn't meet my requirement. It fetches five reviews in JSON format but I don't think those five reviews are latest reviews. I am using a server side call like: https://maps.googlea...ensor=true&key=MY_API_KEY Is there any way to fetch 5 latest reviews using this API ? Thank You.

Hey guys, i was trying to add google recaptcha to my login register system, for a spam defense and just to give it a more professional feel. i already have my own conditional in my own system to make sure an email is not already used or to make sure a password is a certain length, etc.... i now want to add the existing code from google and add an additional conditional to make it flow as one. my issue so i followed the directions from goodle developers and when implementing the code by itself on a test page, i encounter no problems. i get the proper pass and fail, depending on what security code is entered. when i move that same logic into my already created system i then get a consistent failure with no pass. i am utterly confused as to why this is happening, if you guys can give me any suggestions that would be great. my code TEST PAGE .. WORKS FINE <?php include('include/init.php'); include('include/header.php'); require_once 'recaptchalib.php'; $privatekey = "6Lf5AeASAAAAAO5DJ1GcIAiwd8kkNbVBgrDrandom"; $resp = recaptcha_check_answer ($privatekey, $_SERVER["REMOTE_ADDR"], $_POST["recaptcha_challenge_field"], $_POST["recaptcha_response_field"]); if (!$resp->is_valid) { echo 'FAILURE'; } else { echo 'SUCCESS'; // Your code here to handle a successful verification } ?> <tr> <form method='post' action='test.php' id='test'> <td class="register_td_left2"><span class="">Security Code:</span></td> <td valign="middle" style="padding-left:2px"> <?php require_once 'recaptchalib.php'; $publickey = "6Lf5AeASAAAAAPue6LLdUDttmPDc-NbRHcnrandom"; // you got this from the signup page echo recaptcha_get_html($publickey); ?></td> <input type='submit' value='Submit'></input> </form> </tr> Register page i try to implement the same logic require_once 'recaptchalib.php'; $privatekey = "6Lf5AeASAAAAAO5DJ1GcIAiwd8kkNbVBgrandom"; $resp = recaptcha_check_answer ($privatekey, $_SERVER["REMOTE_ADDR"], $_POST["recaptcha_challenge_field"], $_POST["recaptcha_response_field"]); if (empty($_POST) === false) { $required_fields = array('register_email','register_username','password','confirm_pass','gender','month','date','year','country'); foreach($_POST as $key => $value){ if (empty($value) && in_array($key, $required_fields) === true) { $errors[] = '* All fields are required!'; break 1; } } if (empty($errors) === true) { if (user_exists($_POST['register_username']) === true) { $errors[] = 'Sorry, the username \'' . $_POST['register_username'] . '\' has already been taken. Please choose another username.'; } if (preg_match("/\\s/", $_POST['register_username']) == true) { $errors[] = 'Sorry your username must not contain any spaces!'; } if (strlen($_POST['password']) < 6 ){ $errors[] = 'Your Password must be a minimal 6 characters long'; } if ($_POST['password'] !== $_POST['confirm_pass']) { $errors[] = 'Your Passwords do not match, please make sure both passwords are the same!'; } if (filter_var($_POST['register_email'], FILTER_VALIDATE_EMAIL) === false) { $errors[] = 'A valid email adress is required'; } if(email_exists($_POST['register_email']) === true){ $errors[] = 'The email you provided is already in use. If you are having trouble remembering your user info click <a href="#">here</a>'; } if (!$resp->is_valid) { $errors[] = 'You need to enter a valid security code'; } } } <form name="register" action="register.php" method="post"> <tr> <td class="register_td_left2"><span class="">Security Code:</span></td> <td valign="middle" style="padding-left:2px"> <?php require_once 'recaptchalib.php'; $publickey = "6Lf5AeASAAAAAPue6LLdUDttmPDc-NbRandom"; // you got this from the signup page echo recaptcha_get_html($publickey); ?></td> </tr> </form> i left out most of the form , just to save some reading time for you guys. figure its of no importance. again i am puzzled as to why this doesnt work for me on this page, yet on the test page it works fine. please i have been stuck on this for far to long for such a simple thing. thanks.

Hi, I have ssl installed on my site. However I got this insecure icon on the chrome's url bar. When I open the console I got this message: The page at https://www.pm-sson.nl/index.php displayed insecure content from http://www.google.com/s2/favicons?domain=www.mysite.com. How can I remove this? I have my own favicon, but it doesn't remove it.
