automatic validation failed

[can1one]

I follow the instruction but cannot get the result.
site is http://www.canadaone.org. no gambling, adult, hate, etc.
just immigration news.
What I have to do to be approved?
Thank you in advance,

[digitalpoint]

You would need to be displaying ads on the pages (that site is not).

[can1one]

i cannot find the code for the "ad_network.php " file. site is php-based

[digitalpoint]

It should be on the setup instructions.

[can1one]

unfortunately on the setup instruction page
http://www.digitalpoint.com/tools/ad-network/setup.php?type=99
in the first textare related to ad_network.php source code I see only
"Code" word. I guess that is the mistake in the javascript processes that textarea elemen

thank you for consideration

[digitalpoint]

Hmmm... someone else reported that problem, but I never was able to replicate it with any browser...

[can1one]

I have found a problem.
That is the firewall running on tmy computer.
Firewall agent block the javascript.
I think topic could be closed.

Thank you for your time and consideration.

Hi Shawn!
I signed up for the co-op and installed the code.
It works.
Ads are there on our movable type blog and they rotate everytime you visit.
but I still get the "connot validate" error on my setup page.
my co-op is at http://my.gcu.edu/echoes/

[digitalpoint]

Hmmm... it looks like it's because Google knows mostly about your RDF files, rather than the content itself. I'll see if I can do something...

http://www.google.com/search?q=inurl:my.gcu.edu/echoes/&hl=en&lr=&safe=off&filter=0

[kristos]

thanks you shawn, I am looking forward to seeing this start.
is there another faqs page? - i was trying to find out where I expand the ad space on my page to get more exposures for my link.

[kristos]

Hi Again, Shawn.
I see that google sees 174 pages indexed and 23 of them are rdf.

is there a place where I can read about expanding my adspace?

My site still does not validate.

[digitalpoint]

Okay, it should be working now (ignoring RDF files).

I am having the same problem with automatic validation failing. The URL is http://www.truceco.com. If I change the URL to http://www.truceco.com/index.php it resolves and vailidates. The problem is that I was told that my weighting will go down if I select a specific file. The whole site is PHP so I dunno what is happening. Please Help!

EDIT://
Now I am getting this PHP error on the digitalpoint.com add an ad page when I hit auto-validate:

Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_STRING, expecting ',' or ';' in /home/.sites/28/site1/web/tools/ad-network/index.php(20) : eval()'d code on line 9

[digitalpoint]

It looks like Google knows about a bunch of pages that are not there (404s).

[a389951l]

Will redirects work for the 404s? Or is the only option to get rid of the pages from the Google index?

[digitalpoint]

They would need to be dropped from Google.

[Truce]

I have tryed to remove as many pages from the index at google as possible. Why is it that google matters in this? Why won't my pages validate still?

The validator is telling me that a page that is a redirect doesn't have ads on it. Do I have to have ads on all of my pages or what? If so, don't you think that is a little intrusive? I can't tell google to remove the page either because it still exists as a redirect in my .htaccess. :mad:

[vintageagain]

As fast as google removes page and some sites update its going to be hard to keep a valid site listed. I still have pages acached from over 6 months ago that I don't have on the site, If i have to wait for them to clear I'll never get validated.

[Truce]

Same here, which is why I am wondering!

Help us out here Shawn!

[vintageagain]

Case in point. www.vintageagain.com has over 5,000 pages in Google.

Results 1 - 10 of about 5,010 from www.vintageagain.com

I can promise 10-25% of those are not valid now. It's all automotive parts and stock changes DAILY and stuff gets removed and replaces with new stuff every day. The site gets updated ALOT, thus Google spends ALL day on the site spidering. It likes the fresh content. It's always changing. But it fails validation becuase of the fresh content it produces. Google will never have a corect count for this website and most checks are going to fail. That's over 12,000 impressions that's being shown now on the site a day and I can't get any credit for it :(

[thebassman]

Do you remove pages all the time as well? It doesn't matter for validation if there are new pages that aren't known by google yet, but only if there are pages that google still thinks are there, but are no longer there...

[vintageagain]

Pages get removed as stock goes to zero and we have no more. or are back ordered so they can't be ordered. The pages are created dynamic from the database. So yes, we average 20-30 pages removed and the same added each day or so. So in any week we can have 100 pages removed and 100 new ones replacing them as stock changes. That's one of the reasons I guess Google hits this site so much, its' always new content. If i turn off an item it removes it from view on the website, just as good as taking the page offline.

[thebassman]

Then it will never validate, at least not for very long...
