I have published my NPM module  18 days ago. It has a title, description, and keywords. But if I search for detect-file-encoding-and-language npm on Google, it does not appear. Well, it appears somewhere but not on the first 10 Google result pages, which means that no one will find it. Interestingly, if I do the exact same search on Bing, it appears right on the first page as the first result. Why do other NPM packages show up right on the first page on Google but not my package?

What are the best ways to improve a site's position in the Google search results?

How do I prevent my XML sitemap files from showing up in Google search results like this result of a site: search query:    I don't understand why Google would choose to show sitemap files in search results to begin with.  These files are not meant for human consumption.  Google needs to be able to crawl it to be able to process it, so I can't disallow it in robots.txt.  I just don't want them to put it into the search results after processing it.

I'm using the Rich Snippets with two of my websites:  and another one.  They both have the same two authors: Jordy and Jing. What is amazing is that the Google+ profile picture is shown for Jing but not for Jordy (which is me). I have NO CLUE why, it's beyond my understanding. And Jing is lucky because she didn't set a thing ;)  Please check this Google result:    Check the first page, the second, the third... basically, she has a badge for all her articles, but there are none for mine.  I have no idea what to check, everything seems to be in order. There could be something wrong with my Google+ account but what? I don't know. Google is full of mysteries.  Of course I tried the Rich Snippets Tool which works perfectly for every pages.

I created a block, in which an img with src="sites/mysite/files/imagename". It works every node, but failed loading in search page.  Is this an issue of Search module? Drupal 7, I hope, has a uniform url management, for example:   exapmle.com/files, exapmle.com/modules/Module_name, or exapmle.com/modules/core(Symbolic Link points to sites/all/modules) /Module_name   exapmle.com/themes/Theme_name, or  exapmle.com/themes/core(Symbolic Link points to sites/all/themes) /Theme_name ... ...

How does Stack Overflow work so well with search engines? It's really amazing; if I post a question, it'll show up in Google's search results within 15-30 minutes!  What are the tricks? sitemap.xml? Or, any other good methods?  Help me, and others too, if anyone knows a good technique/method.

I've seen questions edited to remove the language name from the title. Won't search engines - and folks using search engines - have an easier time finding them if these "tags" are kept as part of the title?

For example, I  after using Google to try to find an answer. I then turned back to Google and did a search for  and it was already the first result! Similar searches also put my question on the first page, usually in the top 5!  This is insanity. Did I get lucky and post just before an indexing? Is the popularity of SO leading to Google indexing extremely frequently? Or is Jeff using some kind of crazy SEO?

I am trying to get  to work. In the process, I seem to have two versions of it installed: A corrupt one installed in ~/bin, and another I just compiled and ran make install to put it in /usr/local/bin/npm. So, I moved the entire ~/bin folder into ~/old/bin ... but still when I run npm the system searches in ~/bin: $ which npm /usr/local/bin/npm $ alias npm -bash: alias: npm: not found $ npm -bash: /home/ubuntu/bin/npm: No such file or directory $ echo $PATH /home/ubuntu/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games $  What causes Ubuntu to look for npm in ~/bin/npm ? I'm using Ubuntu 11.10. I don't know if the question is ubuntu-specific or not, it can be moved to askubuntu if needed. I do see ~/bin in the PATH, but as far I as understand this only means that if npm was present at ~/bin then it would have used it ... but why does bash insist to look for it specifically there? Why doesn't it find /usr/local/bin/npm, even though the which command does find it?

My memory isn't great but I think five or six years ago, when I downloaded some package, there was never a checksum line under the download icon on the webpage. And no instructions to "check the checksum" to make sure your download is correct. Now these things are everywhere. I have two questions about them (whether MD5 or whatever).   When did they start becomeing so popular and why are they used? I mean, if I'm downloading a package from server X, then it is up to the server to make sure it is giving me the correct package (I think, anyway). How do you check the checksum? Usually I download the package and install it immediately. Maybe this is stupid.

I can't see the complete 'en español' underneath the Spanish Stack Overflow logo on user profile pages. Nothing changes when I scroll, but when I go to the , the logo gets shifted up a bit and it looks fine. The same thing happens on the  site.  You can tell that the logo is the correct image but shifted downwards because the top of the 'in [language]' text is visible:    I'm on Vivaldi 2.0 for Windows 10 and on Chrome 69.0.3497.100 for Windows 10. It happens only when you don't have an account for that site, both when you're anonymous and when you have connected accounts on other sites.

We have an eCommerce site, and we have had rich snippets implemented (in JSON-LD) since January/February this year (2015). I have read multiple sources (including the Google documentation) and there seem to be three possibilities why they are not showing:   Not enough time has passed (4-12 weeks seems to be the common time quoted) The markup is wrong Google have decided not to show the data   I can rule out the first given the amount of time. The second I am fairly confident is not the case as I have used multiple testing tools. As for the third … well that's anyone's guess (although the study  suggests that MOST shops should be successful).  A strange note is that the rich snippets do not show on a regular search for our ranking keywords (we rank #1 for a few and page 1 for the majority). However the rich snippets DO show when we search for a ranking keyword + site:www.fridgefreezerdirect.co.uk as show here:    I have done this in an incognito window in the browser and using a VPN with the same results.  Can anyone suggest anything we can do or reasons this may be?

I've found numerous installation instructions for Node.js but they all seem so complicated -- I'm not a super sys admin but I can get around. I have yum on the system, but I didn't find any node.js packages, and I'm not sure how to compile code on the server or where to put it.

I saw some blogs in Turkish that contain translated content from English blogs. They are translated by humans not by automatic software.   I wonder if Google counts those pages as duplicate content or not? In reality, the content is duplicate clearly but is there a way for Google to detect this?

A lot of people are annoyed (including me) when a browser/search engine detects the regional settings. If I am in Romania, it redirect the search engine to google.ro and sets the language to RO. I know how to modify the language, and I can search using www.google.com/webhp, but I don't want to do this every day, i was hoping that there is a setting or an addon to disable the detection

As SE developer Chris explains in :     We use a Jekyll-based blog generation system. Unfortunately, sometimes some of the pages do not generate correctly, thus causing the files to be missing. Regenerating the blog usually solves this, but knowing when we have a "busted blog build" is half the battle. (The other half of the battle is fixing the system for good so that all pages generate correctly all the time.)    This happens quite often, think the first time was reported as .  All past reports are about single missing page, hence starting now a "generic" report.  I am aware the battle is long and hard, would be happy to get updates about the progress right here in this report. :)

I am using babel package for Turkish language and I also use listings package. A code sample for one of my listings is as follows:  \begin{lstlisting}[label=some-code,caption=Poo Class] public class Person {      public int ID { get; set; }     public string Name { get; set; }     public string Surname { get; set; }  } \end{lstlisting}   As header, what I am getting is this:     Listing 7.1: Poo Class   I would like it to be like this:     Kod Örneği 7.1: Poo Class   Am I asking too much?

I have a website built on drupal with search functionality. When I search for example for "test" the link of the search is displayed like search/node/test  Is there any possibility that if I call search/node/test?json or search/node/test/json the returned page would be plain text in json format of node ids ?
