I hate social sites! usually completely irrelevant traffic is all you get out of it

To get listed in google, use facebook. Its way quicker than submitting your site, and can even work in 48 hours. Go to the post link bit, fill it in then send it to all your friends. Then sit back and wait.

As for knowing which search terms you appear for use google analytics it'll tell you everything about your websites visibility.

Hi Monique, thats great about the newsletter, thanks for your help.

My website is going really well, it gets about 500 hits a month now which im very happy with. It has been the perfect way for me to reach new clients and has increased my turnover dramatically. The only downside is that I dont have much time to play around on Yola!

Its great to see the new features being added all the time. Its come on a long way over the past 18 months !!

Hi Monique, What Id like to do is build a template from scratch.

Also is there a way that I can sign up for the emails from yola as i must have unchecked the box when I first joined up?

Thanks

A template editor would also be much appreciated

Hi Bengo, Im not ignoring your post im just trying not to get involved in something which is above me. I really hope you find a solution to your problem as I myself would be very unhappy if I lost that amount of work.

best regards,
Columb

I think synthasite are right about the sitemap issue being nothing, if I check the overview for the account with the warning I get green ticks for everything including Errors for URLs in sitemaps 0 green tick.

Another thing to remember is that synthasite is still relativley new and far from the finished product as far as free online web editors go its well ahead of all the competition. I suspect synthasite has yet to even make a profit and because of this and the fact that they recently hit the 1 million users mark customer service is always going to be behind. Which is why things like domain registrar services are being added to pay for things like research, customer services and support.

My own experience of their support has ALWAYS been first class (by Monique especially) and im sure that if your problem was synthasite related you would have a very different experience when dealing with them.

My brothers website went from him "asking me to do it" to page 2 on google in less then 2 weeks so there really cant be any serious problems!

Hi Bengo, just seen your posts and checked my sitemaps and your right one of my sites has a warning on it. Heres what it said:

URLs not followed
When we tested a sample of URLs from your Sitemap, we found that some URLs redirect to other locations. We recommend that your Sitemap contain URLs that point to the final destination (the redirect target) instead of redirecting to another URL.

Is this the same error ?

I myself have two websites one is about 10 months old with its own domain that I bought from nameroute but when I tried to publish to it from synthasite I had big problems because I couldn't set CNAME from that domains control panel. I had to move my nameservers to zoneedit (which was free) then from there I created an A-Record which I believe changes the ip address to match synthasites. Everything is fine with one this on webmaster tools

The other site is for my brothers buisness that I only started 3 weeks ago so its only been indexed for about 2 weeks. This is the one with the error. Interestingly this domain came from bt and I just set the CNAME and everything worked fine. After I submitted the sitemap it worked at first because i checked back the next day. NOTE: A CNAME is also called an alias so this could be the problem.

This is the only thing I can think of that could cause this. word of warning though I lost my domains control panel when moving to zoneedit so you should consider this first.

As for your problem, it sounds to me like a redirect issue, how old is your site?? and when did you change your domain on it?

How about this one ?

How about an option to apply things throughout your website, what I mean is on my site the banner image is the same throughout, ive also got my address and contact details at the bottom of each page and ive got a line of text links to all my internal pages at the bottom of each page. I had to do these individually is there any way this could be applied throughout in the future?

I found my synthasite template available elsewhere for free online and it included a few extras, so I downloaded it.

When I opened the folder all the different parts of my template were inside as seperate images, which you can use with synthasite.

If you need to add text over the top use paint, this text wont be readable by search engines but it will be on your website.

Hope this helps some of you for now.

If anyone else knows of any other tool that lets you check these directory listings id be very interested in trying these out with it. So please post a link on this thread

ive just found out that all yahoo results all point to cmdceramics.com and not www.cmdceramics.com so this could be a serious issue or nothing at all? lol

Its my understanding that this is only a problem for those of us that bought domain names elsewhere and switched them over.

Heres another interesting thing, I ran the website grader for a couple of links in this thread that are using the free synthasite domain name and look what happened.

DMOZ Directory: Found
synthasite is listed in DMOZ.

H. Yahoo! Directory: Found
synthasite is listed in the Yahoo! Directory.

I. ZoomInfo: Found
synthasite is listed in the ZoomInfo directory.

All the domains i tried it with have the .synthasite extension and they all came back as synthasite being listed in each directory and not the full domain being listed?

This seems very weird to me, are these directories tricked into believing that these domains are listed in them when they are not???

Ive just done afew more tests with website grader on my own domain and check this one out!

If I run it on www.cmdceramics.com I get a grade of 34, with this other info:
Website grade: 34
Google PageRank: 3
Google Indexed Pages: 10
Traffic Rank: Top 22.64 %
and im only listed in dmoz.

next I ran it on cmdceramics.com and heres what I got back:
website grade: 27
Google PageRank: 3
Google Indexed Pages: 10
Traffic Rank: Top 22.64 %
only listed in DMOZ

Now for the big one, I ran it on my free synthasite domain which synthasite also still publish's to every time I update my site. Heres what happened:
website grade 41
Google PageRank: 3
Google Indexed Pages: 0
Traffic Rank: Top 0.01 %
and listed in all three directories as synthasite ?????????

Im no expert but it looks to me that keeping your .synthasite domain tricks all three directories into thinking you are listed when you are not, which considering yahoo charges $299 a year to be listed is very handy lol. Also just look at the traffic ranking difference between the three results my .synthasite domain is in the top 0.01 % of all websites? This I think explains the "extra account on my google analytics " which recieves almost four times as much traffic as my www.cmdceramics.com domain. But how can a domain thats not even listed in google be in the top 0.01% of websites for traffic?????

judgeing by these results I would definetly keep the free domain and just use that ! . It also looks like www.cmdceramics.com is NOT the same as cmdceramics.com However this is all based on one tool and is definetly not to be considered true

Sorry about the long post lol.

Im not going to add a link here because im not even sure which address to use in one lol

Hi, Ive been trying to set up an outlook express template thats similar to the theme of my webpages so I can email it to possible clients. Im having lots of trouble with it and am ready to give up.

Then I thought what if synthasite offered html templates to match the styles available as a download?

Maybe you could charge for these as an extra and offer a percentage to whoever created the template/theme. This might even make it easier to get web template designers to let synthasite use their templates?

I know this wont appeal to everyone but those that use synthasite for business websites would be able to send very professional, themed emails.

If anyone knows an easy way to do this already could you please let me know, thanks.

Ive just started working on my brothers website too. We sent 60 links out on facebook and the site was indexed in 3 days. Thats got to be the quickest way to do it ! Remember to add your keywords, description and title tag before you submit though.

could possibly be done using zoneedit?

Most people have no pagerank either boomer. Just because most people dont do it doesnt mean I wont.

Most people dont make it onto page1 on google. Does that mean I shouldnt either?
