Google replaces URL hierarchy
November 19th, 2009
No Comments
Some Google search results URL’s is showing up as hierarchies.
A URL that links to a search result was normally given at the bottom of the result. It seems that these URL’s are now replaced with site hierarchies.
For example:
You search for Scarlett Johansson.
At the bottom of the result you may have seen:
http://www.domain.com/example/scarlettjohansson
Now you may see:
Domain.com > Example > Scarlett Johansson

Google now scanning RSS

Google launched a new feature yesterday which enables the search engine to scan RSS and Atom feeds for the discovery of new webpages.
RSS/Atom feeds is a mechanism for content publication and allow readers to easely check for new content from publishers. By scanning these feeds Google will get new pages into their index more quickly than traditional crawling methods.
Adding feeds to current crawling techniques might lead to content being indexed faster.

XML Error in blogging applications
September 8th, 2009
No Comments
I was trying to implement the Adgator code for a Blogger blog and my efforts was frustrated by the infernal XML error *message: The reference to entity “whatever” must end with the ‘;’ delimiter.
The solution was (eventually) fairly simple – isn’t it always.
Look for & in the code.
Change every instance of & to & a m p ;
This should work in WordPress and most other blog applications as well.
In the case of Blogger / Blogspot blogs this was used successfully in the theme file HTML. This was also reported to work in a Blogger post.
For Adgator users I suggest using the WordPress Code for your blogs. You will find a link to this code on the bottom of your “Get Ad Codes”-page.
*whatever can of course be anything in your case.
