Eyeblaster Ad Tags API - media

Any one know where i can find the mediamind Eyeblaster Ad Tags API
like below example url (generate from eyeblaster)
http://bs.serving-sys.com/BurstingPipe/adServer.bs?cn=rsb&c=28&pli={i will not provide my id}&PluID=0&w=300&h=250&ucm=true&ifl=$$http://www.mydomain.com/eyeblaster/addineyeV2.html$$&ncu=$$http://www.xxxxx.com$$&ord=
i want to know the definition of ifl and ncu
since i will to integrate with some ads system like openx (although already integrate in this system by using a tag to wrap the ad tag script)

In regard to your question :
ifl is locate to a html which only contain a html code
ncu is a parameter defined by MediaMind which is normally used by the Ad server to track clicks. It can be used for custom logging URL's that is we can pass the required Custom URL's.

MEAN-SEO not working as expected

I have a project in meanjs.
It has html5mode disabled so my URLS are like that:
http://localhost:3000/#!/products
I am trying to implement AJAX snapshoots in order to allow Google Crawlers to see content generated by javascript on client side.
I installed a module called MEAN-SEO:
http://blog.meanjs.org/post/78474995741/mean-seo
Now when I access the following URL:
http://localhost:3000/?_escaped_fragment_=
I am redirected to:
http://localhost:3000/?_escaped_fragment_=/#!/
And when I click on "products" or when I access directly, I am redirected to:
http://localhost:3000/?_escaped_fragment_=/#!/products
After reading the Google specification detailed here https://developers.google.com/webmasters/ajax-crawling/docs/getting-started , what I need is to get is something without hashbangs, like the following:
http://localhost:3000/?_escaped_fragment_=/products
What I am doing wrong?
Kind Regards.
Any specific reasons why you want html5mode off?
Here is something a lot of people have missed: Search engines (both Google and Bing) can now handle AJAX based content.
Their crawlers now understands pushstates, so if you just turn html5mode on you don't need any special handling to get your SEO working. You can load your content via AJAX, you can set title tags and meta tags with javascript and so on and so forth, and the crawlers will understand your content the same as if you had rendered things server-side. There is no need to do html-snapshotting or escaped_fragment handling for SEO anymore.
This has been announced on their developer blogs but unfortunately most of the documentation hasn't been updated with this information, so it's gone under the radar for a lot of people.
One word of warning though, Facebook does not handle pushstates, so if you want to support the Facebook crawler you still need to handle that separately.

Customized look on first login

I'm working on a java Spring webapp. There is requirement that each user will have possibility to customize the webapp look & feel. I'd like if the user will see the customized look, even on his first login. How would you do that?
My ideas are for the time being
multiple contexts(per customer), but it is not dynamic
send user a link with some attribute, then set the custom info to cookies
in Spring I can possibly create some path variable (#RequestMapping(value = "/{customerId}/login"))
just create universal login page, which will be not customizable
How would you achieve that?
If you want to offer customized looks to every user, you can use use Portlets. Spring also supports Portlet development.
You can give separate URLs to each user, could be using sub-domain or url parameters. Then fetch the request URL in your handling page to deliver specific look-n-feel.
You could also try to explore GrooveUI, which is a third party tool that allows you to define website theme based on access URL.

Where to add Google Remarketing tag in Magento

I am trying to figure out in which file I need to add the Google remarketing tag. I know it needs to be added before the closing of the body tag. Can anyone point me in the right direction?
Thanks
here is I did in the past:
Depending on what kind of google tracking you are using you have a few different way to use:
1) If only add a custom code and should be in all the Magento page, use the "Miscellaneous Scripts" value going to admin section, System > Configuration > Design > HTML Head - Miscellaneous Scripts. (This will be included before head closing tag in page HTML.)
2) By native Magento already have Google Analytics tracking code and you can find this configuration going to admin section System > Configuration > Google API - Google Analytics.
3) If you are looking something more complex and use the Google adWords I used the extension magento connect link. For a particular Client I did some extra modification to include some extra code if a client subscribe to newsletter or a new client etc.
I hope you can find something helpfully in the post.
Best,
GrinGo.
There are different template file for different pages in magento so at first I think you should decide where to place it.For example if you want to place it in footer than you should place that code snippet in
"app/design/frontend/base/default/page/html/footer.phtml"
Similarly you can check other different template files to place your code.
NB:Best practice is to overide the core file of magento before making changes to it.
Hope this will help.
There's no indication as to which Magento version you're using 1 or 2. At the end of the day it depends how much technical knowledge you have and if you're using a version control system to manage your Magento build.
Miscellaneous Scripts as another answer mentioned earlier, this approach is straight forward and very easy to use to plug and play your code.
Google Module depending which version of Magento you use (CE/EE) there will be a built-in section for you to plugin your account ID in backend Magento configuration and then the platform will generate necessary code for you.
Write custom module by writing your own module you can place it the snippet anywhere on the page by targeting before_body_end node in your layout XML file. This is more technical but gives you more control over what you can do.
Google Tag Manager this also depends on if your Magento version comes pre-built with Google Tag Manager module, then you can create a container and place all your logic in there. This is also more technical and require the output of some values in JS format on the frontend to let GTM read the values.
At the end of the day go with what is easy to setup, portable and easy to manage. I usually go with Google Tag Manager as it takes time to create initial setup of exposing data on the frontend but then I have full control of what I want to do with that data through tag manager. In most cases you'll end up using the same data (ex. totals, shipping method, product IDs, SKUs, cost, etc.) in more than one third party API so this gives you flexibility to do just that.

Is there a way to access Dynamic Navigation settings with the Google Search Appliance API?

I would like to use the GSA API to read and write the Dynamic Navigation settings. From the API documentation, it looks like this isn't possible. Screen scraping is another option, but most of the page content is built client-side with JavaScript, which makes normal command-line screen scraping very difficult.
Is there an undocumented feature of the API perhaps, or some other way to access settings that aren't covered in the API?
The unofficial gsa-admin-toolkit project has a gsa_admin.py script which can import and export configuration files, and, most importantly, re-sign them. Before, editing an exported config file wasn't an option because they contain a checksum or hash. They get corrupted when edited.
This tool allows editing of the config file, re-signing, and importing back to the GSA.

Google crawl ajax / dynamically generated content - SEO

I've got a very unique situation that I don't believe any of the other topics here can relate.
I have a ecommerce module that is dynamically loaded / embedded into third party sites, no iframe straight JSON to web client into content. I have no access to these third part sites at all, other then my javascript file being loaded from their page and dynamically generating the content.
I'm aware of the #! method, but that's no good here, my JS does generate "urls" within the embedded platform, but they're fake and for the address bar only, and I don't believe google crawlers can reach this far.
So my question is, is there a meta that we can set to point outside the url to i.e. back to my server with static crawlable content. I.e. pointing the canonical to my server... but again I don't think that would work.
If you implement #! then you have to make sure the url your embedded in supports the fragment parameter versions, which you probably can't. It's server side stuff.
You probably can't influence the canonical tag of the page either. It again has to be done server side. Any meta tag you set via JavaScript will not be seen by a bot.
Disqus solved the problem by providing an API so the embedding websites could get there comments server side and render then in plain html. WordPress has a plugin to do this. Disqus are also one of the few systems that Google has worked out how to crawl their AJAX pages.
Some plugins request people to also include a plain link with the JavaScript. Be careful with this as you may break Google Guidelines if you do it wrong. But you may be able to integrate the plain link with your plugin so that it directs bots and users to a crawlable version of the content.
Look into Google's crawlable ajax standard (and why it's a bad idea) and canonical URLs.
Now you can actually do this. A complete guide and examples can be found here: https://github.com/kubrickology/Logical-escaped_fragment
