Sh17y Maintenance VI and Top 5 Posts

Tuesday, December 18, 2007

  • Installed the WP-Super-Cache plugin for Wordpress.    It’s a replacement for WP-Cache that comes with Wordpress.    It’s supposedly a lot faster and so far seems like a good alternative especially since it supports gzip.
  • Changed the sitemaps.xml file around a little bit.  It no longer includes any Category or Archives type pages; Only actual posts and static pages.  This should stop google (and other search engines) from sending people to a category page instead of straight to the post they were looking for.
  • I did alot of cleaning of code and such that you people won’t notice, but it’s there anyway.   Hopefully it’ll speed things up a little bit.
  • Top 5 Posts on www.thesh17.com according to traffic:

    1.  40,000 Blowjobs from Belgium
      I’m too sure why this one is still getting a lot of hits. I think its from people searching google for “Blowjob“. Sick bastards
    2. Funny Motivational Posters
      We actually get more traffic from google for the term “Funny Motivational Posters” than from stumbleupon
    3. 09 F9 11 02 9D 74 E3 5B D8 41 56 C5 63 56 88 C0
      Everybody just wants to break the law I guess.
    4. Guitar Hero 3 Details and Song List
      Another one mostly from google search.
    5. I’mah firein’ up mah ion cannon.
      You’ll have to ask Kanchi why this is so popular. CnC3 has been how for how long?

    We’re also starting a few other projects.   One of those being a webbased MMORPG.  More information will be posted when it becomes available.

    Sh17ty Maintenance IV

  • I checked Google’s Webmaster Tools and saw a lot of 404 errors dealing with */Unknown
    • I don’t know what’s going on or why Google wants to add /Unknown to every link it finds. So I’m going to leave it alone for now.
  • I have my 404 error page set up to email me whenever it gets hit and there’s always tons of favicon.ico errors so I finally figured out the solution.
    • In my headers.php file I changed
      <link rel=”shortcut icon” href=”favicon.ico” >
      to
      <link rel=”shortcut icon” href=”http://www.thesh17.com/favicon.ico” >
    • Pretty easy fix. I was almost tempted to create a .htaccess rule to redirect all favicon.ico requests to that file until I realized it was my fault for not using an absolute path.
  • There’s a lot of 404 errors that look like this : http://www.thesh17.com/wp/2007/04/17/hot-fuzz-from-the-people-who-made-shaun-of-the-dead/feed:http://www.thesh17.com/comments/feed/
    • I don’t know how to fix this really. It only showed up recently so I’m hoping it’s just someone’s broken browser. As far As I can tell all links to comment feeds are correct and working.
  • The following pages were reported as not being reachable but work fine now.
  • There’s 272 urls being restricted by the robots.txt file and it cut my supplementary indexed pages down a lot. There’s 283 pages indexed by Google now.
  • Disabled the Shoutbox on the sidebar.
  • Removed the tag and category pages from the sitemap.xml file since they were being blocked by robots.txt anyway.
  • Disabled the Text Link Ads plugin.
  • Removed the Vizu Poll in the sidebar.
  • There’s some other things I did too, but I was bored and felt like listing these.
