Hi. Can you check why my site isn't validating Shawn? I see on my ads on every page of my site: http://www.as-seen-on-t-v.com The only thing I can think of is that there is a bulletin board and forum that comes with my host but I've never used them. Do I need to remove them from the control panel? They've never been activated but I do see them in my control panel.. Thanks!
The ads would need to be on every page of the site. If they aren't on the Bulletin Board, I'd remove it from the site.
Does it matter that the bulletin board and forum have never been setup? I think there is an index page in each one but it's not in any search engines?
If it's not in the google index it doesn't matter... The ads need to be placed on every page of the site that can be found in the google index.
It is saying that ads are not showing. I just removed the forum and vb directory totally (there was nothing in them). It seems to not see any ads even though they are on bottom of every page. I'm not sure why it's not working at all. Would it say which pages it's not on ? It seems to not detect it on anything. I am using the coop.php file discussed in faq page. as-seen-on-t-v.com I hope people can see them.
Oops if I can add one more thing, I see that there is a file viti_inf.html .. it's frontpage instruction and it says to not delete. Am I supposed to put the ads on that page? I also have a few directories like vti bin , vti log vti private.. I didn't go into those folders. It still is not validating and I see them on every html and htm page on my whole site. as-seen-on-t-v.com
You must likely do not need to put ads on the viti files. They are usually not indexed in google. Like SEbasic stated only worry about pages indexed in google or think will be indexed in google.
Shawn, That's for reviewing it. I'm not sure what it means, if you want to elaborate that would be great. But I wanted to make sure this is okay- I followed this method from a post that some people are doing: I made a file ad.php: (what you offer to .php based sites) <?php ini_set ("include_path", ini_get ("include_path") . ':../:../../:../../../:../../../../'); include ('ad_network.php'); echo $ad_network[0]; ?> and call as an SSI <!--#include virtual="/ad.php" --> into my pages. I see all the ads on all my pages. I will try this with another host but I wanted to know if this method seems okay. I have some cgi files already so I am doing what others say works. Thank you.
Shawn, Thanks I'll try it but where do I put the code that was in the ads.php file (it is the code displaying the 5 ads)?? Thanks!
