thank you for this. i have turned it off and will speak to sh404sef to find out what they can do about it, as i am worried about having the security feature, but as you said that was the problem and now the site is showing fine, there are no errors showing.

many thanks for this. I hope other people who are having this problem get to read this post as they must be going through what i am going through. many thanks for all your help and the solution

hi, i have been using a great tool today called screaming frog which was shown to me by Thomas Zickell

when i used the tool i found some worrying things for my site www.in2town.co.uk. what i have found is, i have a large number of 403 forbidden status on my home page and i do not know why

here is an example

http://www.in2town.co.uk/emmerdale/emmerdale-debbie-hits-rock-bottom

it loads fine but on the tool it shows it as an error and shows it as having no meta tags or anything but there is meta tags in there

can anyone please let me know how to solve this and why it has happened

many thanks

i thank you for your professional comments Robert as always. I am not a big fan of tools and pingler is the only one that i tried, which i am not calling a day on the service.

We update the site all the time, bringing our readers news and gossip but i am going to re-focus some of the stuff that we do.

With reference to Chris Menke comments, i am not sure what the point was in making a comment on this posting and i am not going to give him the satisfaction and talking more about his post but i would like to thank you Robert.

Ok so here is the question. A few months ago i decided to join pingler.com and pay for the service as i was using the free service, but after four months now i have not noticed any changes and i am just wondering if i am wasting my time using the paid service.

would love to hear from people who have or are using the service and let me know if this is a waste of time and my money could be better spent elsewhere.

look forward to hearing your thoughts

Hi, i have joined pingler and pay per month to use it but i have not seen any difference with traffic or google rankings and i would like to know if anyone else is using the paid version of pingler.com and if they find it a good service

hi thanks for this i will try them out, are they as good as pingler.com and do you know how i can solve my ip problem. really miss using pingler. Have contacted pingler but got no reply from them

Hi, i always used pingler.com to drive traffic to my sites but for some reason in the past couple of weeks i cannot get onto the site, i think there could be something wrong with my ip address, not sure.

I have spoken to virgin nearly everyday and all i get off them is to turn off my internet for one week to get a new ip address and see if that works, now there is no way i can turn the internet off for one week. So i am now trying to find another service as good as pingler.com as i cannot see anyway of getting this problem sorted unless if someone has any ideas.

I would like to know if anyone uses services that offers what pingler.com offers and if they could please list them here

many thanks

thank you for that advice everyone on contacting the author, i will start doing that. It is very annoying when you work on an article and then people take it or use part of it without you getting any glory for it.

thanks for that alice. The problem we have had in trying to gain one way links is, our content is being stolen and we are not getting the credit for it.

People also use sections of our content but never add a link to our site which is very frustrating.

Hi, i am wondering if link exchanges are a bad idea. I have seen a company called link market where you join and exchange links with other companies and i am just wondering if this is now a bad idea.

The last thing i do not want to happen is for google to get angry if i done link exchanges

what is the ideal setting on the crawler. i have been wondering about this for some time.

Hi I am looking for advice to get my new articles out there and my news stories. I would like to know if i should ping my articles and news stories each time i write a new one and if so which ping services do you recommend and what do they really do.

Can anyone recommend any other services that i could use to promote my new articles and news stories to gain more traffic.

Many thanks

is there a tool that will allow you to enter all the ping sites that are availabe and then enter the details like pingomatic and enter the url that you want to ping which will then ping all the ping site that you want.
