At last phpBB 3 Gold Released
Monday, December 17th, 2007 | Forums & Boards | 3 Comments
Hello,Today we begin a new chapter in the history of phpBB. After five years, over 200,000 lines of new and altered code, and many a long night phpBB Group is very proud to announce the release of phpBB3 “Olympus”.
phpBB has changed considerably since work on its second major release began. People have come and gone but this day would not have been reached without the hard work and dedication of all our group members, past and present. The phpBB community, all of you, also deserve a large pat on the back for continuing to support this project. Whether it be through writing mods, creating new themes, spreading the word or simply using phpBB to build new communities, our thanks to you too.
So again we say with great pride and many thanks to all those who’ve helped us reach this point - enjoy phpBB3.
Thank you.
At last phpBB 3 Gold Released, Eight “release candidate” versions preceded the gold release. 
Webmaster Tools Adds Content Analysis
Monday, December 17th, 2007 | Google, Search Industry | 1 Comment
Detailed info on Title and Meta Description issues, Cool new feature in Webmaster Tools - you can go into Diagnostics and Content Analysis, and it will now tell you if you have issues with duplicate titles or meta descriptions, or non-indexable content.
The Content analysis summary page within the Diagnostics section of Webmaster Tools features three main categories. Click on a particular issue type for more details:
* Title tag issues
* Meta description issues
* Non-indexable content issuesSelecting “Duplicate title tags” displays a list of repeated page titles along with a count of how many pages contain that title. We currently present up to thirty duplicated page titles on the details page. If the duplicate title issues shown are corrected, we’ll update the list to reflect any other pages that share duplicate titles the next time your website is crawled.
Also, in the Title tag issues category, we show “Long title tags” and “Short title tags.” For these issue types we will identify title tags that are way too short (for example “IT” isn’t generally a good title tag) or way too long (title tag was never intended to mean
). A similar algorithm identifies potentially problematic meta description tags. While these pointers won’t directly help you rank better (i.e. pages with length x aren’t moved to the top of the search results), they may help your site display better titles and snippets in search results, and this can increase visitor traffic.</p> <p>In the “Non-indexable content issues,” we give you a heads-up of areas that aren’t as friendly to our more text-based crawler. And be sure to check out our posts on Flash and images to learn how to make these items more search-engine friendly. </p></blockquote> <p><a href="http://googlewebmastercentral.blogspot.com/2007/12/new-content-analysis-and-sitemap.html">Google Webmaster Central</a></p> <div class="clear"></div> </div> <div class="box-left" id="post-139"> <h2><a href="http://imseo.org/2007/12/search-industry/yahoo-search-support-for-x-robots-tag-directive-to-simplify-control/" rel="bookmark" title="Yahoo!

Search Support for X-Robots-Tag Directive to Simplify Control">1 Comment</a></h4> <blockquote>Today we’re announcing support for tags that give webmasters even more flexibility over which pages and documents are crawled and indexed by Yahoo! Search. Specifically, we’re extending our support of page level exclusion tags — NOINDEX, NOARCHIVE, NOSNIPPET, NOFOLLOW — to provide additional control for archiving and summarization of ANY file type. Previously, these page level tags could only be expressed within html pages through the META directive (for e.g. <META NAME="Slurp" CONTENT="NOARCHIVE">), but based on feedback from our webmasters, Yahoo! now enables these tags to be expressed through X-Robots-Tag directive in the http header, giving webmasters the flexibility to achieve exclusions on PDF, Word documents, PowerPoint, video, and other file types, including html files, and increasing their coverage through a simplified process. Additionally, webmasters no longer need access to html templates in order to express exclusions for html files. To take advantage of this feature, simply add the following page level tags to the X-Robots-Tag directive in the HTTP Header. Here are a few examples:</p> <p>X-Robots-Tag: NOINDEX — If you don’t want to show the URL in the Yahoo! Search results.<br /> Note: We’ll still need to crawl the page to see and apply the tag, so if you don’t wish to have the page crawled, use robots disallow on robots.txt.</p> <p>X-Robots-Tag: NOARCHIVE — If you don’t want to display cache link in the search results page.</p> <p>X-Robots-Tag: NOSNIPPET — If you don’t want to display summary in the search results page.</p> <p>X-Robots-Tag: NOFOLLOW — If you don’t want Yahoo! to crawl links in the page.</p> <p>Along with this change, we’ll be rolling out additional changes to our crawling, indexing and ranking algorithms over the next few days. We expect the update will be completed early next week, but you may see some changes in ranking as well as some shuffling of the pages in the index during this process. </p> <p>We’re at SES in Chicago and WebmasterWorld’s PubCon in Las Vegas, participating in a few different panels this week. Please find us if you have any questions or suggestions or drop us your feedback here.</p> <p>Sharad Verma<br /> Yahoo!
