  • How to configure Google sitemap links? [duplicate]

    - by Alexander Farber
    This question already has an answer here: What are the most important things I need to do to encourage Google Sitelinks? 5 answers I run a Wordpress 3.7.1–de_DE sit, but don't have much experience with it yet. When my site comes up in a Google search, there are 2 links displayed underneath: I believe these links are called "Google sitemap" and my question is how to configure them in Wordpress. Because while the right link is pointing to the /ueber-mich URL at the website, the left link was pointing to an non-existing /imprint and I had to add that webpage as a workaround for now. And I'd like to change the /imprint to German /impressum anyway (currently I use mod_rewrite to redirect).

  • Hyper-V and attaching physical disks

    - by Mike Christiansen
    So, I'm looking at rebuilding my home server. My current setup is the following Windows 7 Ultimate 1TB Boot Drive (my smallest drive) Windows Dynamic Spanned volume, continaing 1x 1TB drive, 2x 2TB drives, totalling 5TB. I am upgrading to a hardware RAID controller, and I would like to run Hyper-V server core. However, I want to retain the ability to join my "file server" to a homegroup, so I must use Windows 7. I know VHDs can only be like 127GB or something, so I obviously need to directly connect disks to my Windows 7 machine. Here is my plan: Server Core 2008 R2 (Hyper-V) 1TB Boot Drive (storing VHDs for boot drives of VMs) - possibly in a RAID 1 with my other 1TB drive 5x 2TB drives (1x 2TB drive hot spare), totalling 10TB, directly attached to a Windows 7 VM, for use of homegroup for this array. In the past, I directly attached the windows dynamic volume to a Windows 7 VM, and performance was abysmal. The question is, with hardware RAID, will it really make that much of a difference? Server specs: Intel Core 2 Quad Q9550 2.83GHz Asus Maximus II Formula (PCI-E x16) 8GB DDR2 RAM PC2-6400 (Yes, I know its a bit out of date)

  • Help with a formula for Google Adwords [closed]

    - by XaviEsteve
    Hi guys, This question is more about maths and algorythms in Google Adwords but guess it's the most appropriate community in SE to ask this. I am creating a spreadsheet to calculate Adword formulas and I am stuck in how to calculate the Monthly Net Income for each keyword. I have created a formula which calculates it but can't figure out how to limit the Monthly Budget. The formula I've created is this one: Monthly Net Income = ( DailyClicks x ConversionRate x SaleProfit) - ( CPC x DailyClicks ) There is an example of the formula in the file which is a Google Spreadsheet publicly available here: https://spreadsheets.google.com/ccc?key=0AnQMyM9XJ0EidDB6TUF0OTdaZ2dFb2ZGNmhQeE5lb0E&hl=en_GB#gid=2 (you can create your own copy going to File Make a copy...) I am releasing this set of tools as Public Domain so feel free to use it :) Any help is much appreciated!

  • Windows Vista freezes

    - by Kakurady
    Windows Vista (32-bit) would randomly freeze on my computer, usually 15-30 minutes after login but can happen just after login. All applications would stop responding and the hard drive will not make any sound, and after a while, the mouse cursor will also stop moving. I dual-boot Ubuntu, and that still works fine. It started with the computer freezing when loading Team Fortress 2. Alt-Tab and Ctrl-Alt-Del have no effect, and the hard drive does not make any sound. I tried to verify the game data using Steam and that freezes the computer too. So I stupidly reinstalled the game. Now the game doesn't freeze when it starts, but instead the whole computer randomly freezes. This computer is a Dell XPS M1530 with a 320GB (298GiB) drive (WDC WD3200BEVT-7) split 5-ways, with Windows and Linux a partition each, one more for Linux swap space, and another two partitions for Dell diagnostic program and factory image and drivers. There was once where the hard drive would make clicking noises all day, and only stopped when I rebooted the computer. Since then, the BIOS diagnostics would fail the drive (for "self-test log contains previous errors") whenever ran. (The on-disk diagnostics cannot be run because I overwrote the MBR with GRUB.) Naturally, I thought the hard drive could be the problem. CHKDSK found one bad sector, but this seems to have no effect. System File Checker found two protected files with wrong hashes, one is some kind of IE manifest, and the other is a tcpmon.ini. Neither of them can be restored because their back up copy also have wrong hashes. Nothing about system failures in the event viewer. What should I do next?

  • Facebook exclut Google et Amazon de ses régies publicitaires autorisées pour monétiser les applications des développeurs

    Facebook exclut Google et Amazon de ses régies publicitaires autorisées Pour monétiser les applications des développeurs Facebook vient de publier la liste des régies publicitaires autorisées aux développeurs pour monétiser leurs applications. Une liste qui exclut Google AdSense et risque de relancer la rivalité entre les deux entreprises. Cette décision déçoit. Sur les forums de discussion et les réseaux sociaux, beaucoup de développeurs affichent leur mécontentement de devoir interagir avec des régies moins connues, qui n'ont pas la même réputation et le même catalogue d'annonceurs que Google AdSense. Amazon et son API publicitaire sont les autres grands absents ...

  • Google abandonne progressivement Windows en interne, pour des raisons de sécurité

    Google abandonne progressivement Windows en interne pour des raisons de sécurité Selon le Financial Times, Google demande à ces employés de cesser progressivement l'utilisation l'ensemble des systèmes d'exploitation Windows, et cela pour des raisons de sécurité. Toujours selon ce journal, cette décision qui date depuis janvier dernier, vient suite aux attaques chinoises contre le moteur de recherche qui ont eu lieu la fin de l'année 2009 causées par une faille de sécurité dans Windows XP et le navigateur Internet Explorer 6. Donc depuis janvier dernier, les nouveaux employés de Google n'avaient le choix qu'entre un PC équipé d'un système Linux, et un Mac. Et Windows n'était toléré que sur les ordinateurs po...

  • Google Maps bénéficie d'un vrai mode hors-ligne sur Android, "enfin" diront certains

    Google Maps bénéficie d'un vrai mode hors-ligne Sur Android Ça y est ! « Enfin », ajouteront certains. Google Maps va bénéficier d'un vrai mode hors-ligne digne de ce nom, simple et ergonomique. En tout cas sous Android. Plus besoin de passer par les Labs pour proposer ce qu'offrent les Nokia Maps (intégrées dans le prochain Windows Phone 8) ou des applications gratuites qui s'appuient sur OpenStreetMap depuis longtemps (comme ForeverMap). Le principe consiste à télécharger une partie de la carte de Google en étant connecté. La sélection se fait en rentant le nom d'un lieu que l'on souhaite sauvegard...

  • Google s'offre une nouvelle interface, et optimise l'intelligence de ses recherches

    Google s'offre une nouvelle interface, et optimise l'intelligence de ses recherches Google s'est offert un lifting de printemps. La page d'accueil du moteur de recherche et si sobre et discrète que le moindre changement n'y passe pas inaperçu. Depuis aujourd'hui, Google.com a une nouvelle présentation. A côté d'un logo aux couleurs plus vives, le site se divise en trois panneaux : à gauche, les options ; au centre, les résultats ; et à droite, la publicité. L'onglet des options, d'habitude caché par défaut, est mis en avant. Un moyen de pousser les internautes à tester ces filtres de recherche qui ne sont pas nouveaux, mais encore trop méconnus du grand public. Par exemple, "update" : la recherche en temps...

  • App not showing up in Google Play search on app name [on hold]

    - by William Jockusch
    About 30 hours ago, I released an app on Google Play. I am concerned that if you search on the exact app name, it does not show up in the results, even if you click "show more". https://play.google.com/store/search?q=free+graphing+calculator&c=apps It does show up if you put the name in quotes. But that's awfully low discoverability. https://play.google.com/store/search?q=%22free%20graphing%20calculator%22&c=apps Possibly relevant information: I had an earlier version with a different bundle ID. It was up for just an hour or so, and probably never actually visible to users. How can I fix this?

  • Get Your Google Back : Google ne veut pas perdre ses utilisateurs sur Windows 8 et explique comment retrouver son univers sous l'OS

    Get Your Google Back : Google ne veut pas perdre ses utilisateurs sur Windows 8 et explique comment retrouver son univers sous l'OS Windows 8 est disponible depuis quelques jours avec de nouveaux PC et tablettes sous le nouveau système d'exploitation de Microsoft. Les possesseurs d'une version de l'OS ont certainement remarqué la mise en avant de Bing et Internet Explorer 10 qui sont respectivement utilisés comme moteur de recherche et navigateur par défaut. Un geste qui ne doit certainement pas être vu d'un bon oeil par les éditeurs des solutions concurrentes. Google, pour sa part, a déjà réagi en mettant au point un moyen de faire retourner ses solutions sur Windows 8.

  • Avez-vous confiance dans la confidentialité du Cloud ? Google fait certifier la confidentialité des Google Docs par des tiers indépendants

    Avez-vous confiance dans la confidentialité du Cloud ? Google fait certifier la confidentialité des Google Docs par des organismes indépendants Google, Amazon ou Salesforce.com se livrent bataille dans le Cloud. Mais ces prestataires ont un point commun : la question de la confidentialité est toujours plus ou moins esquivée. Le constat est certainement moins vrai pour Microsoft qui d'une part propose un Cloud hybride (et donc permet de garder la main en local sur ses données sensibles) et d'autre part qui a admis qu'en cas de demande de la part de la justice américaine, ses data-centers seraient ouverts au FBI.

  • Google France risque un redressement fiscal qui pourrait dépasser les 100 millions d'euros, d'après l'Express

    Google France risque un redressement fiscal Qui pourrait dépasser les 100 millions d'euros d'après l'Express Google France serait-il en règle avec le fisc ? L'administration française en doute. L'Express révèle que la Direction nationale d'enquêtes fiscales et les Douanes ont effectué une perquisition au siège parisien de Google France le 30 juin 2011. Le fisc soupçonnerait la firme de ne pas avoir déclaré des revenus entre 2008 et 2010 portant sur la vente de publicités en France. Cette perquisition aurait permis de mettre la main sur de nombreux mails, des factures et pas mal de contrats. [IMG]http://ftp-developpez.com/sarah-mendes/4ea6428442bac0df9b47...

  • Google Scholar Realted Question

    - by Art
    I have just requested Google Scholar to use my web site for collecting papers from my personal web site: http://cs.uic.edu/~asmirnov/publications.html I was wondering if I did everything right: I submitted a request on the form provided on scholar web site I published the papers in PDF on my web site Is there anything else needed for Google to index my web site? Other questions are: 1. The first paper (link to it) is not to just paper, but to the whole issue. 2. Are there any tages to be added on my web site, if so, then which and how do I add them? 3. What are those exporting options available on google scholar web site and how do they work? Thank you very much for being patient with me and my questions as well.

    Android : fin du procès entre Oracle et Google Débouté de presque tout Oracle peut encore faire appel Mise à jour du 18/07/12 Le procès entre Oracle et Google est terminé. En tout cas le premier procès. Après avoir été débouté de quasiment toutes ses demandes, Oracle avait demandé au juge un nouveau procès pour revoir les faits et les premières décisions. Dans un document publié en fin de semaine dernière le juge refuse cette possibilité au motif qu'Oracle n'apporte aucun argument nouveau dans sa demande.

  • Microsoft serait plus populaire que Google, selon les dernières estimations de comScore

    Microsoft serait plus populaire que Google, selon les dernières estimations de comScore S'il est un sujet qui divise souvent, après le Microsoft vs. Apple, c'est le Microsoft vs. Google. Et les statistiques publiées ce jour par comScore risquent de relancer le débat. Car si Google est toujours le moteur de recherche le plus utilisé avec le plus grand nombre de visiteurs uniques, les sites de Microsoft le battent en matière de popularité. Ces chiffres proviennent de données issues de l'étude du Web anglais, et des propriétés détenues par chaque firme. Donc, tous les sites et services associés des deux géants ont été pris en compte, ce qui a plutôt changé la donne. Lorsqu'on ajoute Bing aux autres sites ...

  • How does Google store search trends in backend?

    - by Achshar
    Google trends shows what query has been searched how many times and some other properties of the said query. But how is this data stored in a database? Storing a new row for every search does not seem right. They also tell the query on a time graph, so they must have some way to look for individual searches made by users, but the number of queries they get every day, it does not feel right that they would store every search in a database row along with a time-stamp. This does not apply to just Google trends or Google in general but any other big site that gets awful number of queries and then has tools to see them in depth. I am not an expert on this but I am interested to know some high level structure of how things work behind the scenes.

  • Raspberry Pi how to format HDD

    - by Speed
    Hi I am very new to Raspberry Pi environment, so looking for a bit of help to format a usb hard disk drive. I ran lsblk and got sda 8:0 0 37.3G 0 disk sda1 8:1 0 37.3G 0 part looking on web, if tried the following "sudo mkfs.ext4 /dev/sda1 -L USB40gb" it did something but when I tried to mount the drive again, it still showed the files that were there before and I can not create new file/folder "Error creating directory: Permission denied" I am writing this from my windows 8.1 pc so can not cut and paste from the pi. trying to format its output is a bit hard. Oh, there is Nothing written after the word "part" above. There use to be /media/USB40gb so I have done something because this has disappeared. I am using PCManFM 0.9.10 It does not have a format option, which would make life a lot easier, but then its not windows. I think I am running the basic linux os for the pi. It boots to a graphic environment, but I do not know how to advise what it is. I think its OpenBox 2.0.4 Thanks in advance Speed PS: I reran the format string above but this time I changed the label to read USB37gb. I did this to confirm that I was in fact formatting the right drive. Low and behold, it actually formatted the drive, wiping everything from it. Great ... testing it by creating a new folder on the drive and get error msg Permission Denied! So I have fixed the formatting issue by trial and error but still can't use the drive... Suggestions anyone?

  • export google search results to excel [closed]

    - by Om23
    I want to make a program/script that will be able to take the data from the excel spreadsheet in column A (for example, "team 123") and search Google and take the first 3 results from Google and put the data into the excel spreadsheet. I don't have that much experience in programming. So what language should I use? I know I have to use REST in the Google custom search API- how would I incorporate this? This might have been done before but all I've been able to find is scripts on how to export all the search results or the number of search results, not the first 3 search results. Thanks. If you know better tags for this post please let me know.

  • Gwt-gdata authentication

    - by Raffo
    Hi guys, I'm writing an application with GWT and I found on the internet that there's a library to use easily gdata features. In particular I need to use the integration with Google Calendar. I followed the official guide on gwt-gdata site to do the authentication ( http://code.google.com/p/gwt-gdata/wiki/GettingStarted ) but unfortunately, I got an error. This is the error: 17:59:12.463 [ERROR] [testmappa] Unable to load module entry point class testMappa.client.TestMappa (see associated exception for details) com.google.gwt.core.client.JavaScriptException: (TypeError): $wnd.google.accounts is undefined fileName: http://127.0.0.1:8888 lineNumber: 29 stack: ("http://www.google.com/calendar/feeds/")@http://127.0.0.1:8888:29 connect("http://127.0.0.1:8888/TestMappa.html?gwt.codesvr=127.0.0.1:9997","`gL1<a3s4B&Y{(Ci","127.0.0.1:9997","testmappa","2.0")@:0 ((void 0),"testmappa","http://127.0.0.1:8888/testmappa/")@http://127.0.0.1:8888/testmappa/hosted.html?testmappa:264 z()@http://127.0.0.1:8888/testmappa/testmappa.nocache.js:2 (-2)@http://127.0.0.1:8888/testmappa/testmappa.nocache.js:8 at com.google.gwt.dev.shell.BrowserChannelServer.invokeJavascript(BrowserChannelServer.java:195) at com.google.gwt.dev.shell.ModuleSpaceOOPHM.doInvoke(ModuleSpaceOOPHM.java:120) at com.google.gwt.dev.shell.ModuleSpace.invokeNative(ModuleSpace.java:507) at com.google.gwt.dev.shell.ModuleSpace.invokeNativeObject(ModuleSpace.java:264) at com.google.gwt.dev.shell.JavaScriptHost.invokeNativeObject(JavaScriptHost.java:91) at com.google.gwt.accounts.client.User.login(User.java) at testMappa.client.TestMappa.onModuleLoad(TestMappa.java:68) at sun.reflect.NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke0(Native Method) at sun.reflect.NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke(NativeMethodAccessorImpl.java:39) at sun.reflect.DelegatingMethodAccessorImpl.invoke(DelegatingMethodAccessorImpl.java:25) at java.lang.reflect.Method.invoke(Method.java:597) at com.google.gwt.dev.shell.ModuleSpace.onLoad(ModuleSpace.java:369) at com.google.gwt.dev.shell.OophmSessionHandler.loadModule(OophmSessionHandler.java:185) at com.google.gwt.dev.shell.BrowserChannelServer.processConnection(BrowserChannelServer.java:380) at com.google.gwt.dev.shell.BrowserChannelServer.run(BrowserChannelServer.java:222) at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:637) I'm not able to understand the reason of this error.

I don't know what to do and I'm here to ask how to solve this problem and if I can directly use gdata native java library, but I believe this other thing is not possible to be done for client-side gwt code (since the code is going to be converted to javascript). Thank you.

  • importing modules in app engine

    Ive asked this before, but it seems i wasnt clear/detailed enough and after a week of trying im still struggling so i will try again. i am trying to use, oauth2 and ply on app engine. i have tried copying their directories into my app engine project directory (in the form ply-3.4 or brosner-python-oauth2-82a05f9) and i have tried copying the specific sub directory contained within the aforemention one. (ply or oauth2) i have tried saying import oauth2, from brosner-oauth2_python-82a05f9 import oauth and other variations on the theme, but i still cant get it to work nothing has worked. i have tried including them in app.yaml, but that seemed to create an even bigger error as my entire project wouldnt even run when i tried that. and now i have run out of things to try. the error log i am getting is as follows.

  • SQL SERVER – Sends backups to a Network Folder, FTP Server, Dropbox, Google Drive or Amazon S3

    - by pinaldave
    Let me tell you about one of the most useful SQL tools that every DBA should use – it is SQLBackupAndFTP. I have been using this tool since 2009 – and it is the first program I install on a SQL server. Download a free version, 1 minute configuration and your daily backups are safe in the cloud. In summary, SQLBackupAndFTP Creates SQL Server database and file backups on schedule Compresses and encrypts the backups Sends backups to a network folder, FTP Server, Dropbox, Google Drive or Amazon S3 Sends email notifications of job’s success or failure SQLBackupAndFTP comes in Free and Paid versions (starting from $29) – see version comparison. Free version is fully functional for unlimited ad hoc backups or for scheduled backups of up to two databases – it will be sufficient for many small customers. What has impressed me from the beginning – is that I understood how it works and was able to configure the job from a single form (see Image 1 – Main form above) Connect to you SQL server and select databases to be backed up Click “Add backup destination” to configure where backups should go to (network, FTP Server, Dropbox, Google Drive or Amazon S3) Enter your email to receive email confirmations Set the time to start daily full backups (or go to Settings if you need Differential or  Transaction Log backups on a flexible schedule) Press “Run Now” button to test You can get to this form if you click “Settings” buttons in the “Schedule section”. Select what types of backups and how often you want to run them and you will see the scheduled backups in the “Estimated backup plan” list A detailed tutorial is available on the developer’s website. Along with SQLBackupAndFTP setup gives you the option to install “One-Click SQL Restore” (you can install it stand-alone too) – a basic tool for restoring just Full backups. However basic, you can drag-and-drop on it the zip file created by SQLBackupAndFTP, it unzips the BAK file if necessary, connects to the SQL server on the start, selects the right database, it is smart enough to restart the server to drop open connections if necessary – very handy for developers who need to restore databases often. You may ask why is this tool is better than maintenance tasks available in SQL Server? While maintenance tasks are easy to set up, SQLBackupAndFTP is still way easier and integrates solution for compression, encryption, FTP, cloud storage and email which make it superior to maintenance tasks in every aspect. On a flip side SQLBackupAndFTP is not the fanciest tool to manage backups or check their health. It only works reliably on local SQL Server instances. In other words it has to be installed on the SQL server itself. For remote servers it uses scripting which is less reliable. This limitations is actually inherent in SQL server itself as BACKUP DATABASE command  creates backup not on the client, but on the server itself. This tool is compatible with almost all the known SQL Server versions. It works with SQL Server 2008 (all versions) and many of the previous versions. It is especially useful for SQL Server Express 2005 and SQL Server Express 2008, as they lack built in tools for backup. I strongly recommend this tool to all the DBAs. They must absolutely try it as it is free and does exactly what it promises. You can download your free copy of the tool from here. Please share your experience about using this tool. I am eager to receive your feedback regarding this article.
