I will test it some time soon. I am kind of in down mode at the moment. If you read this post, I assume you must have an ecommerce site. If so, please vote for this enhancement. 159979 D.J. & company can create an elegant solution with this which will reduce challenges including but not limited to those who have…

Sandbox help from canonical. The canonical URL can be used to point beta.mysite.com/mypage.com to www.mysite.com/mypage.com You cannot point cross domain. www.mysite.com/mypage.com cannot point to www.yoursite.com/mypage.com

One point that may not have been covered. The canonical URL and sitempa.xml URL should match. If you setup Canonical URL's, you need to make sure those Canonical URL's match what you have in the Sitemap.xml. Google in particular will assume the URL listed in a Sitemap.xml is the canonical URL. If you submit a URL in the…

If you add the <link> tag data to the meta tags field for an item, it will pull in the data. WrigleyvilleDMW, Would you be able to post the exact syntax you used in the Item Meta field? I am not able to figure it out.

If you run an ecommerce site, enhancment request 159979 is something you should consider voting for. As of May 30th 2009, there are 7 votes for this enhancement. In my opinion, this could be a very significant development for NetSuite ecommerce. Summary: This enhancement would define ONE URL as the master URL for every…

...I suppose I can selectively redirect the pages that get the most hits?... I would try my best to do as many as possible. Maybe you could export everything to Excel to create the redirect list and then use a keyboard macro to load it. You are playing with fire by not redirecting every URL. Will the 3-component URLs go…

Hello everyone, Is there anyway to add a URL component to an information item? Thanks in advance. The URL Component (urlcomponent) is on the Information Item page? Maybe you are referring to knowledgebase items?

2 Quick takeaways from Google: 1. Feed requirements: Yes, your absolute URL's must in with .JPG or .PNG. Does NetSuite even support .PNG's? First -- believe me, I am completely frustrated with the impact of the cryptic URL's for images. They absolutely cause serious issues with feeds to comparision shopping engines and…

Kent, Prior to turning on descriptive URL's, Google obviously indexed all of your urls with the system urls. Now that you have turn on descriptive urls, NetSuite is redirecting the old url to the new url. This is a good thing. When Google requests: http://www.novatech-usa.com/s.nl/it.A/id.25046/.f it gets redirected to…

...Please vote for the enhancement to use descriptive image URLs (and make it easy for us to convert existing image names).... Hey Tom, For me, I would prefer that NetSuite simply use the filename that I have used rather than use the descriptive URL. I understand using the descriptive URL would be easy but there could be…

Hello everyone, Can anyone tell me why 99.9% of the images we have on our website are not indexed in Google Image Searcheven for pages we rank first in for competitive keywords? Are we doing something wrong? Thanks in advance. -Hosam www.noorart.com Hosam, Disclaimer: image search is not my strong point. From what I can…

Vicki, Kyle has provided GREAT feedback. Tips 1, 2 and 8 are huge. Specific to Tip 2, when you enter "site:www.ebodyboarding.com" in google, the results in Google should read like a great outline of your site. If YOU cannot tell by reading the summary displayed what is contained on a given page, then you need to update the…

Google verified, so I don't really care about the file anymore. You don't have to keep it on your system, either. Once you're verified, you're good to go. ...experience with SEO... Would love to chat about any questions / thoughts you have on SEO as it related to NetSuite.

Paul, I do not have a recommendation for an off the shelf program. We wrote our own tool. Basically, the tool uses three files to generate the sitemap.xml: 1) Category URLs: We have a text file we manually created which holds the URL's for all of the categories. When we create a new category, we have to remember to modify…

/google566fe38d9fae0458.html /core/media/media.nl?id=10972&c=679860&h=83e736782f11b8b28c3d&_xt=.htm Interesting - it should work without the media.nl getting involved. Have you checked the following: 1) The file is located in: Documents > File Cabinet > Web Site Hosting Files > Live Hosting Files > 2) File Type = HTML 3)…

To add further information: There are ~121 URL's with jsessionid's There are ~100 URL's with category= What is kind of interesting is that many of the URL's with category= do not have sc=

This is a case where it is hard to determine exactly what is going on. This is what I have tested and what I need to test: 1) NetSuite does NOT present jsessionids to GoogleBot, Slurp!, Msnbot or teoma. I tested this with FireFox Live HTTP Headers 2) When NetSuite receives a request from a bot which already has a…

Paul, You may want to check the error logs on your site map program. I am guessing that NetSuite thinks your site map program is a rogue bot. You may consider the following: 1) Set your program to emulate the Teoma user agent. By setting the user agent to Teoma, it should prevent the jsessionid and other parameters from…

...it says that my site can't be verified because, "We've detected that your verification file returns a status of 404 (Not found) in the header." I would double check the file name that Google webmaster tools is trying to access. Then make sure the file exists -- www.mysite.com/googlefilename.html Make sure you can load…

...having interior pages going from 4 to 45 and back every two days (after uploading a new site map) is not normal... Mordy, It is odd for pages to bounce that much. At this point, I do not have much constructive to add on the jsessionid's. I have recently removed the disallow from robots.txt and need to give it another…

I have been assured by NS support that the Googlebot would never hit a jsessionid, so I tested. I added disallow jsessionid to my robots file and within a week i have "caught" 500 urls. What does that tell me? Sound like they are getting those pages and I highly doubt that those are pages from exterior links. M - Believe…

Paul, You might want to check the contents for LiveSeachSiteAuth.xml. Word was used to create the file and there is a bunch of Word formatting that should not be there. &lt;?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?&gt; &lt;?mso-application progid="Word.Document"?&gt; &lt;w:wordDocument…

...none the wiser as to why MSN will not index my site. Paul, You are right, it does not give the level of information of Google Webmaster tools. That said, it does allow you to submit your sitemap.xml file, it tells you how many pages it has indexed and it tells you the last time your site was visited by msnbot. After you…

Phil, What do you mean by "are being properly indexed by google"? Also, I do not believe there is anything specific to doing iFrames with a NetSuite web site.

Anyway, now I get a bunch of 503 errors (service unavailable) ... Most of my 503s are with URLs that have jessionids attached to the end of them. I thought that NetSuite stripped those off before presenting to Google... Margie, I would suggest that you file a case with NetSuite. The jessionids should not be appearing in…

Verification status: NOT VERIFIED Last attempt Mar 5, 2008: Trying both HTML and Meta Tag

-reading through some of the posts I see that Google penalizes for too many redirects - is there a limit or "magic threshold" not to exceed? We will have about 500. The "too many redirects" is for a single page not for the entire site. I assume you mean 500 old_page.htm to new_page.htm. There is no issue that I am aware of…

Just tried again and was successful using the "file method" of verification. I had to execute this twice. It will be interesting to see if it stays verified.

Peter, We are using a custom made application. It requires Microsoft SQL Server Standard 2005 or later to work.

Peter, Very interesting. Would you do me a favor? Would you post 2 URL's that did work ok and 2 more URL's which do not work? NetSuite is doing a redirect to remove the "/" from the end. The message is: "NLRedirectReason: remove trailing slash" That said, there is only one redirect that I can see for the URL:…
