WebmastersBing Robot Wahala by deco2come(op): 3:14am On Sep 11, 2011
Can someone tell me how to prevent bing robot/spider from visiting 404 error page. Despite specifying the pages not to be visited in my robots.txt file, I keep noticing that bing spider visits the 404 error at least 10 times in a day. Does anyone has a method of preventing such thing. I do not want to ban bing because it is a microsoft spider, but when shouldn't it respect my robots.txt file?

omo_to_dun:
I am assuming that you are using PHP, given the leading dollar sign in the variable.

   function queryValue($url) {
      return substr(strstr($url, 'v='), 2);
  }

  $videoid = queryValue("
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IDiOX0UbHbg
");
Thank you so much. I figure out another way of doing it but

$websitead = '
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IDiOX0UbHbg';
$websitead = str_replace('http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=','',$websitead) ;
echo $websitead .'<br/>';

Once again I thank you for your help and reply.

WebmastersRe: Can Your Webhost Steal Your Script? by deco2come(op): 12:29pm On Jul 27, 2011
Dual Core:
Lol @ tht landlord, him badt na guys.  grin

One way to prevent that from happening is to tie your script to the domain its running on and encode your scripts with Ioncube. For this to work your host's server has to have the Ioncube loader extensions enabled, this is almost certain to be installed because many scripts rely on it.
Will affect your script if you later decided to move to another webhost or upgrade(from shear hosting to Dedicated server)


yawa-ti-de:
This is like asking if a landlord can steal their tenants' property - not that they would, but they could.
You are really funny.
WebmastersCan Your Webhost Steal Your Script? by deco2come(op): 12:05pm On Jul 27, 2011

WebmastersRe: Domain Privacy, Is It Recommended by deco2come(op): 10:10am On Jul 27, 2011
Dual Core:
What do spammers do? Send SPAM mails.
Who does it affect? You
How does it affect you? You get a lot of SPAM emails when you check your mail.
Why do you check your mail? Because you need to see if you have any mails
Would you check a mailbox that you don't use for anything important? No

So why don't you create an email solely for your domain(s) whois and don't attend to it? Logical enough

Are you likely to lose money (from potential customers who dont like that you are hiding) because you have domain privacy On? YES
Are you likely to lose money (from potential customers who see your domain information) because you dont have domain privacy On? NO


Are you likely to gain more trust with domain privacy? NO
Are you likely to gain more trust without domain privacy? YES
Intelligent analysis. Thanks for the information. Now I go ahead and remove that privacy so that people can see my sexy name grin
WebmastersRe: Domain Privacy, Is It Recommended by deco2come(op): 9:30am On Jul 27, 2011
Dual Core:
Domain privacy conveys the impression that you are hiding. Not good for a domain that involves online transactions/money. I know a lot of people who won't shop on a site with domain privacy.

Look at ebay.com for example.
Thank you for the information. I was just discussing about it with my webhost and they told me that removing is will give access to spammers. Since most of my contact information will be display on the website, why should I still have online privacy or why shouldn't I keep it to keep away from spammers
WebmastersDomain Privacy, Is It Recommended by deco2come(op): 3:34am On Jul 27, 2011
For a business website owner trying to sell his/her products and services, I would like to know if using domain privacy is recommended. I have been searching for information. So far, some said having your information on the WHOIS is an open gateway to spammers, email marketers, etc while some argue that since you are targeting your customers, it will be nice to make your information public since you have already displayed the same information on your website.

I am a bit confuse here. I would like to know if anyone has encountered any bad experience by leaving their information public? Who do you think?
Web MarketRe: Nigerian Emails Needed Ugently For Advert by deco2come: 7:03am On Jul 24, 2011
I can help you with that. But before you go ahead think of it this way, when you send email to someone that don't know you the person will consider your email as spasm email. Let's assume that the person is using Mcfee Site Advisor, WOT or Similar Web, and if he/she go ahead and rate your site as spam site believe it or not, it is a big blow to you business especially at international level.

I would recommend that you use phone service to market your business. Generate the phone numbers(trial and error), then send the text message to them. But this my recommendation self na another expenses because you have to pay the service providers

BusinessRe: How Can I Become A Billionaire At 36! by deco2come: 5:03pm On Jul 21, 2011
ayo ade:
Billionaire? I dont think so. Millionaire? that is possible. 10 years is too short to be a billionaira and sustain the status. You need to learn, unlearn and relearn a whole lot of things. you need to imbibe the attitude of the rich so you can attain their altitude.

And more importantly, you need to answer this question; why do you want to become a billionaire? Answer the question honestly.


Tell me you are kidding when you think that 10years is too short to be a billionaira. What will you say of Mark(Facebook owner). Remember he launched his website in 2004 and today he is worth more than 12billion dollars. It is not even up to 8years let alone 10years.

@Poster, hold tight to your dream. Believe it or not it will come to pass. It is just a matter of how long you remain focus.
RomanceIf She Is A Nigerian by deco2come(op): 3:32pm On Jul 20, 2011
If Wendi Deng(Wife of Rupert Murdoch ), is a Nigerian, most of our guys would have crucified her already.  A lot of thread here always insult Nigeria girls. Some have taken it as a hobby to insult Nigeria girls.

Please my guys, take it easy with our girls. Though conditions might have affected some of our girls sense of reasoning but please do understand that no place on earth has a land full of perfect girls. If you doubt me, please point out a country where rich men find it so difficult to date a girl.



Brief history about Wendi Deng

After entering the United States, Deng lived with the Cherry family for a while when attending university. Mrs. Cherry suspected her husband was having an affair with Deng (30 years his junior) and demanded she leave the house. Mr. Cherry soon followed and moved in with her. The two married in 1990.[4] Deng and Cherry's marriage lasted 2 years and 7 months before they were legally divorced,[5] but he would later explain they only stayed together for 4 or 5 months,[4] after which he learned of the extramarital relationship Deng had with David Wolf. Nonetheless, she had been able to secure a green card through being legally married to Cherry.

In 1997, Deng met Rupert Murdoch at a company party in Hong Kong. Deng and Murdoch married in 1999, less than three weeks after his divorce from ex-wife Anna Maria Torv Murdoch Mann was finalized. They live in Manhattan with their two daughters: Grace Helen Murdoch (born 2001) and Chloe Murdoch (born 2005).

WebmastersRe: Please Help Me Out With This .htaccess by deco2come(op): 4:11am On Jul 20, 2011
farouqzaib:
You don't need that much code to accomplish that. In resolving the filenames, you need to code a front controller which will handle all requests routed to it(say index.php). The controller should then automatically dynamically include the file even if it is not present in the current directory. I can't give u d code for the rewrite rules now. But working with PHP, u only need to manipulate $_SERVER["REQUEST_URI"]. U can google for front controllers. I hope I helped a little.
Mobinga:
Why dont you just put it in a folder like this.

public-html
--hello
------index.html

Put the index.html file into the hello folder.
A good example of what I mean can been seen in this site "http://www.aratext.com/". Notice that its address bar doesn't include any file extension(e.g asp,php,html,etc). The moment you add any extension to its address for example http://www.aratext.com/pricing.php, it will redirect you to its error page.

Please how can I achieve the same thing?

WebmastersPlease Help Me Out With This .htaccess by deco2come(op): 7:49am On Jul 18, 2011
Can someone help to configure this .htaccess well. I want it to remove the file extension. I have succeeded so far but the big issue is that it doesn't work within another folder. E.g it can turn this file "www.domain.com/hello.html to www.domain.com/hello.

I have tried many times to make it turn something like "www.domain.com/folder/hello.html to www.domain.com/folder/hello"

Although Multiview did the job but it didn't do it perfectly because it doesn't force the extension when a visitor type something like "www.domain.com/hello.html
Please modify the below code for me.
Here is the .htaccess code
#Removing html htm php asp extensions
Options +FollowSymlinks
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} \ /(.+/)?index(\.html)?(\?.*)?\ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.+/)?index(\.html)?$ /%1 [R=301,L]
RewriteCond %{SCRIPT_FILENAME}/ -d
RewriteCond %{SCRIPT_FILENAME}.html !-f
RewriteRule [^/]$ %{REQUEST_URI}/ [R=301,L]
RewriteCond %{ENV:REDIRECT_STATUS} ^$
RewriteRule ^(.+)\.html$ /$1 [R=301,L]
RewriteCond %{SCRIPT_FILENAME}.html -f
RewriteRule [^/]$ %{REQUEST_URI}.html [QSA,L]

I would also appreciate if you can make it force a slash"/" at the end of each file after removing the extension.
Thank you.

[size=13pt]At 43, Andrew Carnegie was bankrupt but due to persistence and believe, he is the 3 richest man after King Solomon and John D. Rockerfella.

Ok, let's talk about something that happens for my backyard. One of the richest man in my hometown, at 47 still lives in one room apartment and sometimes ask friends and family money for food. But today, if you said the man is poor, what you mean is that he is worth 500million naira. My brother you need to see the this man's house. There are millions of stories like this.

I suggest you grab a copy of some good motivational books like THINK AND GROW RICH, EAT THAT FROG, 7 HABITS OF HIGHLY EFFECTIVE PEOPLE, IN PURSUIT OF HAPPYNESS, GOAL, THE POWER OF BELIEVING, THINK BIG, ETC. Before you finished two of these books, then you realize that you haven't even started life. Suppose you will die at 90-100years, my guy you still have more than 50years ahead.

Just find what you like doing and go ahead and do it. Good luck.[/size]
