I have a Telegram channel and I share links on YouTube, Facebook, blogs and other sites. So my question is how to know from what source the user joined?
Please help me to solve it. Thanks.
For that you'll need to use URL shortening services like cutt.ly, that provides analytics on visiting generated URLs. So you can generate and share them instead of direct URLs.
Also, you can add/implement similar functionality to your blog site and track UTM-labels together with others (that you probably use) in service like Google Analytics.
There is no way because when you share anywhere your channel path stays fixed, telegram doesn't support that.
Please help me in the case I have searched a lot but didn't find any solution to my problem. I am facing an issue in a custom module which was built in joomla 1.5 and now I have converted it into Joomla 3.4. When I enable SEO friendly URLs from global configuration view page of my module loads and then in the right sidebar it loads the whole page again. Which is causing the structure to break down. I don't know what to do. Please help me.
Please visit this URL for SEO URL
Note: Please use United States IP because this module uses an API to show Properties of United states on Google map. So it will only work for US IPs.
Thanks.
So I have brought 2 domain names for my new business one is .org through Google and the other is .co from Pop! is there any way that I can link the two so if someone was to go to the .org page they would be automatically directed to the .co url? Thanks :)
yes, there are a couple ways, but easiest would be to configure your domain forwarding. I assume you're using google domains? I wish I could help more, but I don't have an invite to google domains, so I can't provide links to their docs...there seems to be a link right off their splash page, though.
You could add meta tags to your page for redirection (example: meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0; url=http://yourdomain.com/") , but since you mentioned using Google domains, try this out https://support.google.com/domains/answer/4522141?hl=en
Just wondering if there's any way to search all web pages which link to some specific url? For example, all web pages containing link to example.com? Thanks
You probably might want to explore the Google Search API which allows you to use Google search results in your programs.
For some mysterious reason, Google has indexed both these adresses, that lead to the same page:
/something/some-text-1055.html
and
/index.php?pg=something&id=1055
(short notice - the site has had friendly urls since its launch, I have no idea how google found the "index.php?" url - there are "unfriendly" urls only in the content management system, which is password-restricted)
What can I do to solve the situation? (I have around 1000 pages that are double-indexed.) Somebody told me to use "disallow: index.php?" in the robots.txt file.
Right or wrong? Any other suggestions?
You'd be surprised as how pervasive and quick the google bots are at indexing site content. That, combined with lots of CMS systems creating unintended pages/links making it likely that at some point those links were exposed is the most likely culprit. It's also possible your administration area isn't as secure as you think, the google bot got through that way.
The well-behaved, and google recommended, things to do here are
If possible, create 301 redirects from you query string style URLs to your canonical style URLs. That's you saying "hey there, web bot/browser, the content that used to be at this URL is now at this other URL"
Block the query string content in your robots.txt. That's like asking the spiders or other automated programs "Hey, please don't look at this stuff. These aren't the URLs you're looking for"
Google apparently allows you to specify a canonical URL now via a <link /> tag in the top of your page. Consider adding these in.
As to whether doing the well behaved things is the the "right" thing to do re: Google rankings ... who knows. Only "Google" knows how their algorithms work now, and will work in the future, and by Google, I mean a bunch of engineers and executives with conflicting goals on how search should work.
Google now offers a way to specify a page's canonical URL. You can use the following code in your HTML to tell Google your canonical URL:
<link rel="canonical" href="http://www.example.com/product.php?item=swedish-fish" />
You can read more about canonical URLs on Google on their blog post on the subject, here: http://googlewebmastercentral.blogspot.com/2009/02/specify-your-canonical.html
According to the blog post, Ask.com, Microsoft Live Search and Yahoo! all support the canonical tag.
If you use sitemap generators to submit to search engines, you'll want to disallow in them as well. They are likely where Google got your links, from crawling your folder and from checking your logs.
Better check what URI has been requested ($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']) and redirect if it was /index.php.
Changing robots.txt will not help, since the page is already indexed.
The best is to use a permanent redirect (301).
If you want to remove a page once indexed by Google the only way, more or less, is to make it return a 404 not found message.
Is it possible you're posting a form to a similar url and google is simply picking it up from the source?
