Best htaccess Cheat Sheets
Looking for a few good ways to keep your standard .htaccess knowledge handy? I have found three great cheat sheet resources you need to keep bookmarked. Just in case you forget how to rewrite an error document or you need to enable hotlink protection, these resource will always come in useful.
Dropped from Google
Yeah a few web sites of mine have been dropped from Google, Yahoo, MSN and more thanks to a really stupid mistake of mine and some scum sucking leech of a webmaster. Let today be the official do not leave your .htaccess file chmoded to something writable day. That’s what I did and I paid for it.
Looks like the guy at thefirefox.net got in there and was directing traffic from the search engine crawlers from me to him. Now both Firefox Facts and the Web Hosting Show are still in Google and the others, but show up in none of the results.
I have reported these guys at thefirefox.net to Google, their web host, their domain name register and to Mozilla but have yet to hear anything about it. Looks like a web site setup to trick people into thinking they are Mozilla so they can get their hands on much AdSense click-through cash when you download it with the Google toolbar.
What action has been taken thus far? Nada. Nothing. Big Goose Egg.. but if I hear from one of them I’ll be sure to post it here and let you all know.
I have done my begging at the holy search engine alter with Google – and now I guess the wait begins to see how long I will be out of the search engine results.
