Automatic validation failed

Discussion in 'Co-op Advertising Network' started by jorisvdb, Nov 6, 2004.

    I've placed the ads on my site but I can't get it validated.

    The ads are on the main page
    http://placex.be (-> links)
    and all the game pages e.g.
    http://placex.be/free-online-games/196/Free%20Online%20Games/Alien%20Hominid.htm

    Do you know what I'm doing wrong or how to validate my site?

    Regards,
    Joris

    Do you have the ads on *all* the pages on your site?

    I did fall for this. It needs to be on all pages

    can't see it on your links page for example

    yep bass...

    Its the only part of the website that is php driven at this time and I can't figure out how to insert into html pages. It worked on 3 other sites just fine.

    Just failed on another site..

    http://www.marinecoat.com/links/

    Its a hit and miss work load today :)

    ---

    Added:
    Ok doing some testing. I configured the links to run in HTML and not PHP mode. The links show either way. Just a modwrite thing and how the pages are created.... If I point to

    http://www.marinecoat.com/links/resources.html
    It FAILS while in HTML mode.

    Setting the script to PHP mode and pointing to
    http://www.marinecoat.com/links/resources.php
    PASSES... its the SAME pages, just one shown as .html and the other .php

    Either way just pointing to http://www.marinecoat.com/links/
    FAILS the auto varification.

    I' like to run in HTML to lose the ?cat=57 in the URL..
    ====
    More testing..

    Pointing to
    http://www.vintageagain.com/default.php = PASS

    http://www.vintageagain.com/ = FAIL

    Doing this also drops my weight points from 18,000+ down to 986 points.
    It passes, but I lose LOTS of weight.. This site has over 4000+ pages

    ==
    http://www.stoprust.net/resources/resources.html = FAILS
    http://www.stoprust.net/resources/ = PASS

    Same type setup for all the sites. I have to pick and chose what workds and I lose weight no matter what.

    Thoughts ?

    Not sure... if you set your base URL to those, I can check it for you.

    http://www.marinecoat.com/links/boating_directories.html

    No such page. I do not have a catagory called "boating directories" so I don't know were it's getting this from. If I did it was removed and doesn't appear now when I just tried to validate.

    http://www.automotive-rust.com/web-resources/racing.html

    Same as above..


    http://www.vintageagain.com/web-resources/automotive_parts_new.html

    You can't get to this page from the Home page < base URL> so why is it checking it ? I removed the link to the links pages to test validation. These are static pages not php and I can't get the code on it. Why is it checking a page it can't get to. A spider can't find it's way from the home pages to this directory anymore since last night.

    For the pages missing, Google knows about the pages (which is what it uses for spot checks):

    http://www.google.com/search?q=inurl:www.marinecoat.com/links/boating_directories.html

    If you want to get it removed from Google's index quickly, you can use this:

    http://services.google.com/urlconsole/controller

    For vintageagain, it doesn't matter if the main page is linking to it or not. The ad network is for site-wide ads on a website. When Google no longer knows about the pages, it wouldn't be part of the spot-check.
