Theres a problem which affects SEO

[WhaaaaaTha]

On the gamepage where the game is embeded the src to the game is like this

http://www.demo.freearcadescript.net/games//1230344398cone-crazy.swf

as you can see it has 2 // afters games how can this be rectified so that only 1 / shows

Yes, there is. We have been aware of it for a while now, and have been trying to decide how to deal with it. It does not affect your SEO though as it only links to the game file itself, not the game page. And it has been corrected already, just not in the version you are running.


The problem is the script was written to allow this kind of leaching off your server. Personaly I turn it off, disallow it, on my sites. But MySpace will not allow scripts to be run on their pages, which means it won't allow you to embed a small page containing the game. The way it is offering it is allowing people to run your file from their page, without displaying your ads. We are deciding how we wish to change this, or if. One thought is to leave it to allow people who like it this way for some reason to use it as is. Another is to change it so that it forces the person who wants to put it on their page to use your loading page, which dispays your ads as well. But that leaves it in such a fashion that MySpace users can't display it on their profile, only a link to it.

See the problem? We will probably write it so that you have more than one choice to offer users. We just have not gotten that far yet.

1.3 is probably going to be out in a few days though. It at least got rid of that double slash.

Alomost forgot, sorry.

Open the file /pages.play.php and fined:

Code: [Select]


<object width="500" height="500">
<param name="movie" value="'.$domain.'/'.$gamesfolder.'/'.$r['file'].'">
<embed src="'.$domain.'/'.$gamesfolder.'/'.$r['file'].'" width="500" height="500">
</embed>


and take out  .'/'  from both spots following .$gamesfolder to leave

Code: [Select]


<object width="500" height="500">
<param name="movie" value="'.$domain.'/'.$gamesfolder.$r['file'].'">
<embed src="'.$domain.'/'.$gamesfolder.$r['file'].'" width="500" height="500">
</embed>


and it should get rid of it. Let me know how it works because that was from an earlier version that still had it in it.
