Ok, I am wondering how so many hosting companies can offer more credits than the fee of hosting so.. they have to be getting it really cheap or free to refer customers to use PPC, my question now is how can a registered trademark company go about contacting google, yahoo and the likes to do this and does anyone know where I can find the information?

Do you know what is most important search engine robot ips?
I need to all serach engine robot ips too firewall white list.
I found myself writing some filters to monitor spider activity across various sites. Unfortunately it appears that an increasing number of time wasters are setting their User Agent to Googlebot and likes.
Googlebot is pretty easy to filter out as given some research it appears that any legit googlebot IP has a valid .googlebot.com PTR that resolves back to the original IP. It does not appear to be as straight forward with other spiders with msnbot topping the hilarity chart with IPs resolving to meaningless .phx.gbl names.
Is anyone aware of any recommendations or trustworthy references that can be used as guidelines to reliably identify legitimate spider request from fakes?
I noticed in the apache error logs that Yahoo and Google (mostly Yahoo) have been crawling one of my clients' sites for warez, cracks and serials, but these files don't exist (and hence they're ending up with 404 errors in the error logs).
The IPs that are doing this are legit (as far as I can tell)... 74.6.20.32, 74.6.74.50, 66.249.65.178
It's systematically hitting the server once every second or two, looking for files such as "free.serial.no.of.flash.professional.8.jsp", "trainer.SimCity.4.million.jsp", "Paragon.Partition.Manager.v.7.crack.jsp"
and this has been happening for at least a day now.
Now here's the thing. The site has gone through a redesign about 4 months ago, and the previous site was running an old version of PHP Nuke that was filled with spam (from tracebacks), and a photo gallery manager which was probably not installed securely. The new site utilizes Joomla, and all the previous elements are gone (in fact the site was migrated to my servers after the redesign, so my servers never hosted their old PHP Nuke or photo gallery).
These mysterious crawls from Yahoo and Google all seem to hit the photo gallery URLs, such as http://www.domain.com/albums/album01...v3.1.patch.jsp
The other weird part is, all the links end with .jsp. The site's previous server did not have JSP support, and neither does mine.
Also before we moved the site over to my server, I archived their entire website on their old server, and none of these files exist there.
Doing a search on Google on their site (site:www.domain.com) doesn't show any of these files. Searching Google for links that point to the site also don't show anything out of the ordinary.
This has me baffled... Does anyone have any idea what is going on?

Not just textual links.. but whole listings.. picture, menu, stuff like that, a google map to show location.. a proximity search feature.. anyone know of any site builders that have built-in templates to facilitate this? I suppose it's possible to pick a regular site builder with an ordinary template and start from scratch.. but it seems easier the other way.

The problem is I cannot seem to make the OutputSed command recognise absolute paths. I can make it work with a relative path for both the image and the <a> href, but not absolute, which is awkward as the webite wiill have different directories for content created by FTP for hosting results of different tournaments.
This is what I have in my vhost.conf file for the banner image:

I hope some of you are using Google Apps and can help me to find an answer to the following question:
I own two different and independent domain names (e.g. domain1.com and domain2.com).
I'd like to use the Google Apps (Standard, free edition) with them to create two different and totally independent mailboxes (e.g. abc@domain1.com and xyz@domain2.com).
But how many Google accounts I need to do this? Can I manage two (or more) independent and fully functional domains using one Google account?
P.S.
Help section contains descriptions of aliases for multiple domains, which are just pointers or shortcuts, but not a fully functional mailboxes, so this solution isn't something I'm looking for.
There is probably a simple explanation for this, but in our Google Analytics stats one of the most popular pages is
/?wcw=google
Can anyone explain exactly what this is?
Do you think if a company offered free web hosting and free domains people would snap them up like there is no tommorow?

My server is being pounded with Yahoo bots, close to 500 or more at a time. They are causing my loads at various times of the day to skyrocket, crashing the mysql server, etc. They have been on my site for about 4 days now and I just dont see why that many bots are needed to crawl a single site for several days.
Is there any way around this without banning their ips? Any way to limit them?

Has anyone ever used Yahoo to host their website? I have heard some good and more bad comments about them. I am a rookie at this so my site is going to be pretty basic. How do they rank vs. other hosting companies?
Yahoo has an “easy site creator” tool to make a site with a template like process. Do sites that use these rank as well in search engines as sites built without a template?

Some of my emails send to the clients who are using Yahoo's email is stored in their " Bulk " folder, so Yahoo is considering my email as spamer althought i'm not. So do you know how can i fix it ? Do i need to contat Yahoo about this matter ?
View 1 Replies View RelatedNowadays it's everyone's headache for sending mails to hotmail and yahoo i guess. I am having the same problem.
I add the domainkey to domains, but when i send mail to yahoo it drops to spam.
I didn't tried it with hotmail, but reason for dropping spam at yahoo is probably because of no spf record.
I am having a bit trouble with setting spf. I read some documents and my mind is messed up, i can't figure out what to do.
My server's ip address is : xx.xx.xx.xx
My server's hostname is : server.x.com
and i have domains like , y.com, z.com, f.com bla bla that wants to send mail to hotmail.
Those sites are using different ips, but each ip is using more than 1 site,
I read that i need to setup reverse dns, but one article says i should do it for my hostname, other one says for mail server : mail.x.com.
So first question how should i setup reverse dns?
Second question, it says i need to add spf record for my domain, does it mean my hostname, or the domain i want to send mail ?
v=spf1 a mx ptr ~all
and than i should fill form at https://support.msn.com/eform.aspx?p...rid&ct=eformts
and than wait.
So i will be glad if someone can answer my questions and tell me if there is any missing parts.
I am looking for an expert who can help me configure my dedicated server to ensure my email gets delivered to Yahoo.
I have an autoresponder script hosted on the server. The script was previously hosted with another host and I got excellent deliverability to Yahoo, Gmail, Hotmail and everyone else.
Unfortunately the volume of mail was too large for that host, so now I have a dedicated server. Since I moved to the dedicated server (two weeks ago), my mail does not get delivered to Yahoo. It doesn't even go into the junk mail folder. It just disappears.
I am very strictt about using confirmed optin for my lists, so it's not a blacklist issue. Right from day one on the new server, my mail did not reach Yahoo. So it must be the way my server is set up.
If there is someone who knows how to resolve this, I am willing to pay you to solve the problem for me. Or, if there is anyone who can give me some advice, that would be much appreciated.
Im having problem with Yahoo web hosting. All .php pages is not working.. it will give you an error "403 Forbidden".
I cant even access my domain webhosting control panel..
I called Yahoo Customer Service and it will take 2-3 days to fix. Sad to know my website is down almost 1 week.
Can anyone tell me what's really going on with Yahoo Webhosting? Do they care their customers?

View 3 Replies View RelatedLike so many others I am having the problem in which Hotmail and Yahoo are rejecting emails being sent from my server. I recently changed servers and this is most likely the reason.
While Hotmail hasn't been fixed, they have responded swiftly, usually within 6 hours.
I need to contact Yahoo about it but I can't find any information or forms to fill out. Could you please direct me to the correct URL - their site is a complete maze.
Unfortunately yahoo blocked our server ip, so our customer cant send any email to yahoo!
How can fix this issue? Do you have any email or ticket system in yahoo for contant about this issue?
business is just getting out of hand. I applied several weeks ago for Whitelist status, and my issues finally went away for a little over a week (though I never received a response to my Postmaster requests). But then today -bam- 100% deferrals for going on 18 hours now, not a single message has gone through. And naturally no two Yahoo servers give me the same error message.
So...
At this point I'm ready to contract out my Outbound mail to Yahoo through a whitelisted 3rd party until I can get this resolved on my end. Would this be reasonable? Is anyone else doing this? I worked with an outsourced SMTP provider in another life for an internal company mailing list with good success.
It seems that Yahoo does web hosting, and they offer WordPress as one of their one-click install kinds of things. Given the absolutely absurd responsiveness of yahoo.com, I was curious if anyone actually used them as a webhost?
Their pricing is decent, but I'm wondering about performance? I'm currently with Dreamhost, and I'm okay with them, except that WP performance isn't great (not awful, though, either), despite having wp-cache installed and operational.
So how good it Yahoo's small business webhosting? Their TOS seems pretty generous as well.
