  我会愿意听见更多关于实施。 例如，在圈您在哪里安置了代码？ 我仍然做一点测试以它，但，当我设法安置代码，唯一岗位页去空白。 我设法增加它到主页以同样结果。

• 大卫布雷得里 // 2007年7月4日在7:07 pm

  Hmmm…运作首次为我。 如果把岗位”被咬住圈，您必须在以后包括有条件标记“：

  <？php，如果(ls_getinfo (’ isref’)) {？>

  …您的零零点点包括着陆点代码和电子邮件捐款提及在这儿…

  <？php} ？>

  希望帮助

  Thanks for the information, David. I’ll do some additional testing this weekend.

• David Bradley // Jul 5, 2007 at 10:23 pm

  Just to remind everyone else Robert, before they mess around with their code, those quote marks and lt and gt signs have to be done properly as the straight quotes and actual signs in php to work properly.

  I heard from Robert offline, who discovered the reason this tip wasn’t working for him is that he was using a different version of the Related Posts plugin. He was using Aizetto’s Related Posts. For Landing Sites to work it calls the more common Contextual Related Posts plugin. I should have been more specific, so apologies Robert for time wasted, hope you get it up and running with this version of the plugin. Come back and let us know when you do!

  Hey David, thanks for the mention, glad to have been an inspiration

  One of the really cool things about plugins like that, is that you can get to do all manner of things with longtail searches. Blogs like ours that are textually rich with all manner of keyterms and phrases may well pick up all types of traffic for the most obscure of traffic terms.

  Using the HTTP_REFERER in the way that landingsites does, gives on an excellent opportunity to use that information and reach out that little bit further to the visitor. Where their query may have taken them to a blog post they either didn’t understand, or weren’t interested in, you really can take advantage of that and give them a few extra choices.

  You might like this post too actually.

  Hi there,

  I was hoping for some help regarding the landing site plugin. It seems like a great way to reduce the bounce rate for a site. I have it installed, and it just never formats itself correctly. I even installed teh German version hoping it would be better to no avail. Do a google search for Jamy’s Tainan, and you can see what happens. (I have it installed on my 404 landing page B/C I just made some changes that screwed all of my page URL’s and now google is pointing to pages that aren’t there. A little Google Adsense window underneath it would be sweet too. OK. I won’t ask for anything more. Hoping for some help…

  Cheers,

  John

  John, have you checked your on a compatible version of Wordpress and have the latest version of Landing Sites?

• John // Sep 8, 2007 at 1:10 pm

  I haven’t seen any new versions of the Landing Sites Plugin. I am using Wordpress 2.2. I can’;t figure out why it is like that. Maybe the CSS.. I guess I should start learning that.

• David Bradley // Sep 8, 2007 at 1:30 pm

  All I can suggest is that you try disabling and then deleting the files, downloading again, double-check the installation instructions and fellow them exactly, and reactivate. Maybe there was some little tweak to the code you needed to make.

  It could be that it’s incompatible with another plugin? Did you try disabling them one by one and re-testing?

• John // Sep 10, 2007 at 5:26 pm

  I fixed it. I used the editcss addon in firefox which is awesome and then found out what was lacking. In the German version of the plugin, I added a .landingsites div to the style.css . It looks like this.

  .landingsites{
  line-height: 15px;
  border: 1px #C2DDEF;
  border-style: double;
  width: 370px;
  margin: 12px 12px 12px 12px;
  padding: 15px 15px 15px 15px;
  }

  You can change the colors and padding and what not if you like. That’s all it took and then the formatting and everything was wonderful. I hope this plugin reduces my bounce rate, and so far it has dropped about 10% in the few days have had it installed. I have changed quite a few othe5r things as well though…

• David Bradley // Sep 10, 2007 at 5:43 pm

  Great bit of debugging on your part John and thanks for sharing it here. I am pretty sure there will be others who hit this page looking for an answer and will find your fix just right.

  Thanks again,

• Robert Irizarry // Sep 12, 2007 at 1:51 am

  I finally had the time to switch over to the correct Related Posts plugin and set up Landing Sites. It works like a charm. Thanks for the tips and thanks to John (above) for the CSS. Styling the output is next.

• David Bradley // Sep 12, 2007 at 6:50 am

  Well done Robert, glad to be of service. But, have you checked it’s working. I searched for your site and visited one or two of the pages direct from Google and got the same page content as I did when I visited by using your URL direct. By the way, it looks like you have two “subscribe to comments” installations running…

• Robert Irizarry // Sep 12, 2007 at 8:48 am

  Thanks for the feedback. As far as I see, the Landing Sites plugin is working. I’ve done several searches in Firefox and IE that take me to a Landing Sites functional page. For example, search for “adrian legg custom guitar”. The first two results are to my blog. The Landing Sites recommendations appear right before the actual article.

  However, I’m not seeing the double subscribe to comments but I’ll look into it further. Thanks again for your help!

• David Bradley // Sep 12, 2007 at 3:04 pm

  Yep, you’re right Robert, I was hitting the homepage from Google searching for your name and the word ergonomicguitar…d’oh! Looks good. Have you ever had feedback from your SE readers as to whether they think it’s useful?

• Robert Irizarry // Sep 12, 2007 at 9:01 pm

  I can’t quite say yet - I literally got it running about 20 minutes before I commented. I imagine its usefulness will be proven by increased page views from search engine traffic.

  That said, have you seen any increase in page views as a result?

• David Bradley // Sep 12, 2007 at 9:17 pm

  Sig Figs traffic has been climbing and climbing all summer…not sure whether that’s down to a specific plugin or just word getting around and people coming to the site in droves…

  …be nice to be able to persuade a few more to sign up for the RSS though…

  Any ideas?

• Robert Irizarry // Oct 9, 2007 at 7:53 pm

  I observed a bit of odd behavior from the Landing Sites plugin that I’d thought I’d pass along.

  While reviewing my site’s feed in Google Reader, I clicked on a post title to load the site. I was surprised to find that Landing Sites detected Google Reader as a Google search result and loaded itself without actual search terms. I tried it from IGoogle and got the same results. A try from Bloglines behaved as expected - no Landing Sites. I also tried it with other feeds and confirmed the results.

• David Bradley // Oct 9, 2007 at 8:45 pm

  That is odd, but I think all that landing sites does is look for google, yahoo, msn etc in the page request headers, if it sees google it assumes that it’s coming from the search results. It’s a bug. There is a fix at http://theundersigned.net/2006/06/landing-sites-11/

• Robert Irizarry // Oct 10, 2007 at 1:16 am

  Thanks for the catch! I’m surprised it hasn’t been rolled in but then again the plugin hasn’t been updated in some time. I’ll go try out the fix.

• David Bradley // Oct 10, 2007 at 7:36 am

  Robert, I tried in vain to get my own hack to work on Sciencebase, but it was still popping up the null message, so I reverted to the backup and cleared the hack from my theme.

  I then went back to the Landing Sites thread and found a comment from a guy called Haje who added the following lines immediately after function ls_get_refer() {

  if(strpos($_SERVER[’HTTP_REFERER’], “/reader/view”)) return false;

  I’d also add the following if(strpos($_SERVER[’HTTP_REFERER’], “/ig”)) return false;

  making sure your quotes are straight quotes not the curly ones that might appear in this post. The first line cuts and runs if the referrer is a “reader” like Google Reader, while the second catches referrals from iGoogle (the ig).

  You can betcha there are yet other referrers that still don’t get caught. It would be useful to have a whitelist/blacklist function within the Landing Sites plugin options so that specific referrers could be blocked or parsed as needed.

• Robert Irizarry // Oct 10, 2007 at 3:58 pm

  I implemented Awad’s fix last night, tested it and works fine. However, I like your fix better. Its cleaner since it only requires a change to the plugin. Awad’s fix requires a change to the plugin as well as the landing sites code on the single page template. I’ll change over to your fix shortly.

• David Bradley // Oct 10, 2007 at 4:01 pm

  I also think that this fix has more potential for controlling Landing Sites to do different things depending on where the visitor comes from. No point in asking them to subscribe to the RSS if they arrived via an aggregator, for instance, but you might want to include an option to visit some other section or site just for that specific group.

• Robert Irizarry // Oct 26, 2007 at 10:32 pm

  Hi David - I was curious if you’ve made any attempts at adding additional Search Engines to Landing Sites. Google Image Search comes to mind…

• David Bradley // Oct 27, 2007 at 8:10 am

  Hi Robert, yes it had occurred to me to do that, but I’ve not yet got around to it. I presume there would be some way to add a conditional that displayed flickr images tagged with the keywords instead of related posts…

• David Bradley // Oct 29, 2007 at 2:47 pm

  Hello again Robert, I edited the Landing Sites plugin by adding the following line between the google and the google maps entry

  ‘images.google.com’ => ‘q’,

  (those are single straight quote marks)

  Seemed to work just fine. You could probably do the same with a whole load of other search engines. It also occurred to me that you could create a second set of conditions so that anyone hitting the site from an images search engine would get to see related photos from your flickr feed or similar.

• Robert Irizarry // Oct 30, 2007 at 12:00 am

  Thanks, David! I’ll start by taking a look at what other search engines are hitting my site on a regular basis. Thanks again!

• David Bradley // Oct 30, 2007 at 7:50 am

  I wonder whether it would be easiest to duplicate the plugin and use a new list of referrers (images etc) to run a related image display array…maybe I’ll contact the plugin author…

• Robert Irizarry // Oct 30, 2007 at 9:39 am

  The plugin hasn’t seen any development for quite some time so I wonder if it needs a new champion. (hint…hint…). Taking over a plugin and giving it a bit of an overhaul could make good linkbait as well.

• David Bradley // Oct 30, 2007 at 9:59 am

  Good idea…

  What’s the etiquette for taking up someone else’s plugin and running with it?

  db

• David Bradley // Oct 30, 2007 at 5:20 pm

  Robert

  I just created Landing Images! It works for images.google.com and I am now rebuilding the referrer list to include as many image search engines as I can.

  At the moment, the conditional gives users a link to my flickr stream built by adding the referring keyword as a tag to my flickr URL…

  I’m rather pleased about this, thanks for the inspiration. I’ll post full details in a separate entry once I’ve contacted the original author and got it working for most image SEs…

  Watch this space.

• Robert Irizarry // Nov 1, 2007 at 6:16 pm

  Very cool, David. I’m looking forward to checking it out further.
