Looking through my search logs from time to time, I notice that by far the biggest user of my search engine is the google-bot. What gives? Is it looking for content that might not be directly accessible through navigation? If so, how does it know which words and phrases to look for (they're surprisingly relevant). Does it check the most ...
Does non-english characters work in google charts labels/legends ? This works, the legends shows up fine: var chart_url = 'http://chart.apis.google.com/chart?' + 'cht=bvs' + ...some other stuff... + '&chdl=Lowest price|Average price'; This doesn't work, the legends don't show at all: var chart_url = 'http://chart.apis.google.com/cha...
Whenever I login to one Google service, I am automatically logged in all their other websites on different domains. What I want to know is how they are able to access the disparate cookies and sessions that belong on another domain. I tried searching online but I couldn't find any information. I could probably pull out firebug and tr...
Most of my clients require donation and shopping cart integration into their websites. I have always used PayPal to run the transactions, but PayPal is a nightmare to work with. I'm looking for an alternative company to handle the credit card processing. I had looked into Amazon FPS, then realized that it requires an Amazon account in...

I'm loading jQuery from google on my site (http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.3/jquery.min.js) which is minned and gzip'd. In firefox, the jquery file shows as a 19k request, but Safari shows it as a 56k request. I'm assuming then that Safari is not accepting it as a gzip'd file. What's the deal? It's coming from google an...
We are using Bing and/or Google javascript map controls, sometimes with large numbers of dynamically alterable overlays. I have read http://support.microsoft.com/kb/175500/en-us and know how to set the MaxScriptStatments registry key. Problem is we do not want to programmatically set this or any other registry key on users' computers b...
I am using Google Chrome 3.0.196.2 and I noticed that for some reason the #main div's background is shrunk a tad bit, even though it should not be. It tests fine in every other browser but chrome. Anyone know why? Link to site: link text Even have a screen shot: link text Notice the green on the right side is cut off, as well as thin...
Hey everyone, I have written a web application that interacts with Google calendar (adds/edits/updates events). You may have seen one of my many posts about it. I had been struggling with the fact that sometimes I find my application to be slow on performing calendar operations. I have since come to the conclusion that it is not slow d...
...re-downloads even if it was in cache. I think it had some statistics regarding the number of Yahoo users for which items had to re-download even if it was in their cache (60%?)... Read it earlier this year, but could be from last year too. I believe the page had lots of yellow on it too. Has anyone seen (bookmarked? wrote?) this a...
I was poking around Google's analytics API docs to see if there is a method that allows the adding of website profiles. Either by using a email/password or session or one time token. Has anyone seen anything? ...
I am a beginner web developer and i have a site JammuLinks.com, it is built on php. It is a city local listing search engine. Basically i've written search pages which take in a parameter, fetch the records from the database and display it. So it is dynamically generating the content. However if you look at the bottom of the site, i have...
I want to store a user's current location on an ASP.NET MVC website for the duration of a session. Because I want to use the location server-side, the way I think this should work (maybe other suggestions?) is that when a user first hits the website, I get the location and store it in the session, so on later requests it does not have to...
I'd like an rss feed from this google scholar search: Scholar Fish Oil Search I've looked a little bit at yahoo pipes, and I thought I had found a solution when I found this pipe: Old Pipe But it doesn't work (it's a couple years old now). If someone can either tell me what's wrong with that pipe, or tell me how to retrieve a feed from ...
The tool I'm developing would do a thing similar to when you join Facebook and they ask your GMail username and password and with it they can grab all your contacts. But my tool doesn't use a browser, therefore it is difficult to get the proper headers. I assume that the Google application (Orkut) checks only my Cookies and Identity(ip,...
This is partly an algorithm question and partly a programming question. I'm not much into machine learning, but I'm curious and unless there's too much math I can read a few papers up(or even few articles which describe the essential idea ). So the questions are : How does Google improve its search technology when a human assists in im...

Maybe I'm going about this wrong, but I'm hoping I can get some insight. I develop for multiple clients nationwide. I track many of my sites using my personal/development Analytics account that tracks all the domains/profiles I work on. However, I now have marketing folks jumping into the fray, all wanting their own GA trackers install...
Hi, I'm wondering if Google search is aware of tags such as <nav>, <aside>, <section>, etc. that are being added by HTML 5? My navigation comes before my content and I have too many links in it for good SEO. I'd like to use <nav> if Google recognised it rather than using js or a css work around. Thanks, Denis ...
