CNET is the premier destination for tech product reviews, news, price comparisons, free software downloads, daily videos, and podcasts.

I want to do this for my site too. my site is celebratinglifebd.com. I have added/varified the site to google webmaster central. I have generated a xml sitemap and successfully added to google webmaster central(http://www.celebratinglifebd.com/sitemap.xml). it shows empty for "URLs in web index". everything seems okay, but it is not showing the sitemap in search result. I am searching with "celebrating life" and it comes up in 1st page at number 8. i have generated the sitemap from - http://www.xml-sitemaps.com/.
You can not do this yourself
Google automatically generate this while browsing your site.
You can submit a sitemap to Google for helping them build it, but no guarantee that they will build it !
I think this article explains it very well: http://www.google.com/support/webmasters/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=47334

My website was ranking in the fifth page when searching company name on google. But after i added key words with meta tag and google analytics code for better seo i lost my website name presence in entire google search results.Now google analytics showing i have more than page visitors than before. But bounce rate is 82%. If you can suggest me what i can do to bring my website name in search results , that would be a great help for me.
thanks,
Typically your results can fluctuate after making SEO corrections to your site. For example adding new keywords and title tags forces Google to redefine the content of your site. During this reindexing they will sometimes move your site around. But after a few days it should bounce back. This is especially true if your site and business are new. Here are a few good resources on the topic written by SEO Roundtable, Quick Sprout and Myself.
Another good place to check is the Moz's Google Algorithm History page. This helps you determine if your fluctuation was due to something you did or possibly due to an Algo update.
Happy hunting!

It is a simple scenario. The client wanted a remake of an old site and we chose WordPress. Besides visual redesign there were changes in content structure and naturally links. The problem is that the old content is pretty highly ranked on Google, so the questions is actually two fold.
Will switching to new site affect the ranking?
How to preserve links that are already there on Google to point to the same content but to different URL's on the new site?
Switching will affect your Google rankings. The ranking is tied to the address of a page, so when you move it to a new address, you loose the ranking you've built up. However, if you use 301 redirects from the old content to the new, you will preserve your Google rankings. This tells the search engine that your content that was in page A is now in page B. Think "change of address" cards for the Internet. It works for search engines as well as users in browsers.
Here's a good article on the subject: http://www.bruceclay.com/blog/2007/03/how-to-properly-implement-a-301-redirect/

I have created a site twoo years ago in php and now converting it into asp.net mvc. Now I would like to get all indexed pages by Google so I can validate all these are working with new site.
I search on google using "site:mysite.com" it shows 21000 results, So how Can i get these 21000 results and validate all they are working with new.
I don't know if there is a tool that gives you a list. However one way I can think of is to keep an eye on your Google WebMasters account for errors. Any page that Google can't reach will be a page you need to look at and fix. This isn't a fast solution but it's a reliable one.
If your previous website has a structure to its urls then it should be easy to replicate that using routes in asp.Net.
I think this topic has to be moved to webmasters section of stackexchange.
Generally what people would do with change of url is to give 301 redirect to all the new pages from old pages (aka url rewriting).
To verify if all your links work, you can use a tool called Xenu. Being a webmaster, you might already known this. It just goes through the entire list of urls in the pages and verifies them. But in your case you want to check if all your old php links work, you can possibly get a sitemap of the existing list and do the checking by putting this sitemap page on the new site.

I'm trying to figure out whether wordpress can handle the following requirements for a site:
incorporating yahoo weather api (and other widgets etc)
testimonial page (user inputs, which have to be moderated back-end and approved)
image gallery (with back-end manager)
video gallery (basically youtube video links - with backend manager)
extremely custom design
I know WP is powerful, but can it handle these requirements? How easy/difficult is it to integrate plugins to handle this functionality?
Thanks.
PS. I know this is not a programming question per se, but there are several such "capabilities" questions on the stack!
Yes WordPress would allow you to do all of the above.
You would have to implement this yourself as a plugin. There maybe a plugin already available. This link should help you get started, http://www.binarymoon.co.uk/2010/03/yahoo-weather-api/
The commenting system would easily allow you to do this
There are heaps of galleries, try nextgen gallery, works great.
You could easily provide an admin panel which would allow users to paste the youtube video code in. See the WP docs. http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/add_options_page and http://codex.wordpress.org/Administration_Menus
WP allows custom themes and they are fairly easy to construct with a little programming knowledge. Simply searching on Google will find you a abundance of walk through tutorials.

I have a Netflix Affiliate account, but I don't want to direct users to the homepage for them to create an account, I want to direct them to a search result page. The reason for this is that on our site we have lots of titles but they can't be reliably linked to a single Netflix result programmatically, so we would prefer if we could direct users to a search page, and if the user signs up, get the revenue. Is this possible? I find the whole Netflix-Affiliate-but-Google-Affiliate scheme a bit daunting.
Sorry for answering my own question once again. I found the answer here (a bit hidden that link). For anyone wondering about the same problem, here's a quote from that page:
Deep linking (linking to pages other than the main Netflix login page) is a little more complicated - the structure is:
http://clickserve.cc-dt.com/link/tplclick?lid=41000000030242852&pubid=00000000000000000&redirect=[Endcoded Deep linking URL]
That works pretty good.
I would be wary of using Felix's example above before confirming your account details with the Netflix API team. I think you need to first submit your Google ID (GAN) along with your API key so that they will credit leads generated with the above structure.
Read the details on http://developer.netflix.com/docs/Affiliate_Program
Even worse, if you use http://www.netflix.com/Search?v1=Jaws it returns a search result appropriately for "Jaws" if you're not logged into Netflix, but if you happen to already be logged in to your Netflix account it takes you to the Netflix homepage instead. This is with the affiliate linkage element out of the equation entirely, so there are multiple issues at stake.
I'm looking for the solution too, and have had no response from Netflix or the Google Affiliate Network.
