Submitting to Inktomi


To submit a homepage using Add URL, you would have to use one of Inktomi’s partners. HotBot UK is recommended for this purpose.

HotBot UK Add URL – Homepage HotBot Web Search
The submission through the addurl feature is levied a penalty on ranking if that is the only way the page has been crawled. If the same page gets covered through normal crawling or through paid inclusion, the ranking penalty is removed.
Inktomi has a paid submission program called “Search Submit” that charges a fee of $39 a year for your homepage. More web pages can be added for $25 per web page. After a year, if you do not renew the service, Inktomi might drop your homepage. Inktomi’s partners sell this program.
Search Submit – http://www.inktomi.com/products/web search/submit.html
Inktomi allows maximum 20 web pages from each website to be submitted per day. Inktomi also provides Bulk Program wherein you can add thousands of web pages at a time. A small fee is charged each time someone clicks on your web page listing.

Customizing error pages


I want to give my site more professional look by providing my user my customized error page, when he tries to open the non-existing page. Please do provide me the steps, for using .htaccess for doing this.

You can customize error pages, but for that you need to know the error number like 404 for page not found.

Now in .htaccess file you need to enter:

ErrorDocument errornumber /file.html

For example if, there is a file, NotFound.htm in error directory, and you wanted to use it for the 404 error, then you need to enter:

ErrorDocument 404 /error/NotFound.htm

These are some of the most common errors:

401 – Authorization Required
400 – Bad request
403 – Forbidden
500 – Internal Server Error
404 – Wrong page

My Site is at risk


Hi,
I am facing a very big problem, if someone types the directory name into the browser, a full listing of all the files in that directory is shown. This could be a security risk for my site.

This is because, you don’t have no index file in your directory. To prevent this either you create a index page or if you don’t want to create lot of index files, then, you can enter a command into your .htaccess file to stop the directory list from being shown:

Options -Indexes

Ban IP’s


On my site, I am using the Live person, so whoever comes to my, I gets his complete information, its IP also, but, I do want to ban some of the IP’s, as I am getting some troubles from there, can I do that, and how to do.

Most of the Internet users, now have a dynamic IP address, so this is not always the best way to limit usage.
You can block an IP address by typing the following in the .htaccess file:

deny from 000.000.000.000

where 000.000.000.000 is the IP address.

If you only specify 1 or 2 of the groups of numbers, you will block a whole range.

You can allow an IP address by using:

allow from 000.000.000.000

where 000.000.000.000 is the IP address.
If you only specify 1 or 2 of the groups of numbers, you will allow a whole range.

If you want to deny everyone from accessing a directory, you can use:

deny from all

but this will still allow scripts to use the files in the directory.
