Strange thing happened today. When I visited google webmaster tools I found out that the content keywords are only three instead of (a lot that are actually on my website) and they are:
1. agent
2. disallow
3. user
And when I click on which one of the words, I get "found on the most popular page /robots.txt". I haven't done anything to my website or webmaster tools for a couple of days now, so I have no idea what could cause that.
Anyone with the same problem and solution? What can i do in situation like that?
This sounds like a temp bug in Analytics. Wait some days (or a week) and check again this.
Usually it is good to ignore what google webmasters tools says about keywords.
Share your robots.txt file (I assume there is nothing wrong there)

I got this popup about rating my experience when programming Java in VSCode (v1.70.0) on Linux. The link takes you to research.net and the questions are pretty simple (rate from 1-10, would you recommend to friends? positive/negative feedback). I have never installed any extension, ever.
My question is if this is normal and if it happens to a lot o people, because in years that's the first time I see something like this and I wonder why VSCode would hand out a link to a site like research.net and not to a Microsoft site.
Also, is there a switch to turn off feedback questions like these or opt-out of such improvement campaigns?
Is there an official article or a blog post about this, somewhere?
These are the pages I refer to (Google)
There is an old issue in the VSCode repo where the authors mention that the Don't Show Again button was hidden under the gear icon.
I'm getting a tad tired of Webmaster Tools and its inability to agree with itself.
I'm seeing a warning that there are 'Sever health issues' with my domain.
Checking this Google seems CONVINCED that my robots.txt file is blocking my sitemap, even though Webmaster Tools itself says that my robots.txt file is AOK (and it is).
Looking at my sitemap I'm getting an error: "URL restricted by robots.txt".
Ok then.
I've tried deleting the sitemap from Google and re-adding it, no luck. I've tried doing the same with the robots.txt file, no luck. It;s convinced that my robots file is blocking the sitemap.
The funniest thing is that the www. version of the same domain is reporting that everything is fine. It's the same website.
So is Webmaster Tools just fundamentally broken, and I should ignore it, or is it flagging something I should be delving deeper into? Is the domain likely to be punished if Google itself thinks it can't see the sitemap (even though it can)?
Domains live and die by Googles hands, so I feel a tad frustrated that it's so insolent.
Edited to add:
I've just tried an experiment. Completely removing my functional Allow: / robots file seemed to get it to work. The file's cache life was an hour, and it's checked it several times over the past few days. Definitely bugged.
My site eighttwentydesign is running Joomla 3.0. I have SEF URLs on, and have done for sometime without issue. But today when you go to the site, and click on anything, say portfolio you get the home page under the portfolio's URL, but if you add a leading slash at the end, the right article (portfolio) shows. Additionally, if you click on say "Web Design" it sends you to the Portfolio page. I might add this menu is a menu within Joomla - not be adding internal links manually

I have checked the .htaccess, and actually reverted it to the original with no luck, I have check Global Config but I can't see anything which may cause this. It was working nicely yesterday. I haven't adapted with any PHP source or anything in the past few weeks, the only notifiable thing I have done is yesterday enabling the Cache - have others experienced problems after doing this? I have disabled it under global config, with no avail.
Exact Joomla Version is 3.0.2 with very few plugins
I do have daily backups, but would rather a solution and be able to figure out a prevention from that, rather than just putting on a band aid.
I've search for a good couple of hours, and aside from just not being able to fix it, it appears no one else is experiencing this, so I am starting to think it may be a bug.
Just as I was about to post this I discovered my solution.
If you are having your SEF URLs display the wrong content then solve it by disabling the Cache plugin. You can do this by doing the following steps
Login to Joomla backend
Navigate to Extensions > Plugins
Go to "System Cache"
Disable system cache
I hope this helps someone in the future as I really struggled to find any answers on this.
There was a page with the link http://www.xyzabc.com/exampleone . Then i updated the link as
http://www.xyzabc.com/example-one & this link is working fine now. But in webmaster tool errors still the "exampleone" link is showing 404error even i clear the error list. I made the update before 20days. still webmaster tool showing error. Can someone help us to know where we went wrong.
Thanks in advance.
Most likely your site hasn't been re-indexed by Google since you've made the change. You can use "Mark as Fixed" feature in Webmaster Tools (Diagnostics/Crawl Errors), which will remove the error from the list (but it will reappear if the underlining issue remains on next reindexing).
Pretty much the only way to speed up reindexing by google bot is to use Fetch as Googlebot/Submit to Google Index feature (which is only available if your site is added/verfied in Webmaster Tools already).
I've gone back and forth between having an organized inbox and having an inbox with absolutely everything I've received in it.
Would you recommend leaving everything in an inbox, or organize it? If you organize it, is there any method to your madness or possibly an Outlook (2003) plug-in to aid in this task?
For what it's worth, I feel way more productive with everything in my inbox, grouped by date. I feel like a spend way more time doing inbox management any other way.
I would recommend following the inbox zero approach advocated by 43 folders. Joel Spolsky apparently uses it and a lot of people feel it's a great way of decluttering and organising your email life :-).
If you don't want to actually clear out your inbox, you could use a good search utility like Google Desktop, Yahoo Desktop Search (is that what it's called) or my current favorite, Xobni.
With these tools you don't have to worry about where you put the mails you saved. Just save them all and let the tools find it.
I switched to gMail and have never been happier.
You could also try using a tags plugin like http://www.taglocity.com/index.html
I'm going with the Microsoft way;
Delete it
Defer it
Delegate it
Do it
It works for me great.
You can read about it at http://www.microsoft.com/atwork/manageinfo/email.mspx.
We've invested in a few licenses of Simply File for our employees. Works a treat at managing your inbox - it learns (don't ask me how, but it is very good) how to file things for you and does it automatically.
I was sceptical about it at first, until I tried it then I was a convert.
Keep to the ideal of inbox zero in the actual inbox, then employ a decent search engine (Google Desktop or Xobni for example).
I have a handful of project- or filter-specific folders (e.g. for system generated status messages that go to a mailing list), but generally all archived email is dumped in one folder.
In Outlook 2007 categories (which can approach the usefulness of tags) do add a potentially useful dimension.
I use message flags for my "action folders" and shunt everything into one big Archive folder after I process it (use the Ctrl+Shift+V shortcut to do this). As an example, I might flag a received message with a red flag (reply), a blue flag (pending, meaning I have to do something about it first), or maybe a green flag (reference). I then have search folders for each of my flag colors.
This flagging/search folder method is explained fairly well in this blog post.
I've also implemented a Gmail-like conversation view search folder which has been pretty handy.
The best place to start with getting control of your email is definitely Merlin Mann's excellent Inbox Zero series. In particular his Google Tech Talk video is a great talk.
