Google update in January effect anyone?

What you need to do:

Copy your logo file to /scj/cgi directory.

Create a file called logo.php and put it in /scj/cgi directory.

Put inside it this code:

Code: Select all

<?
include('rot_in.php');
header('Content-Type: image/jpeg');
readfile('logo.jpg');
?>

In the above example readfile('logo.jpg'); should be changed to the actual name of your logo file that you copied into the /scj/cgi directory. example: mysitelogo.jpg

Now open the header template editor and look for the code that is currently loading your logo image.

example:

Code: Select all

<img src="/images/mysitelogo.jpg" border="0" height="250" width="1000" alt="my logo">

Modify it so that it matches below.

Code: Select all

<img src="/scj/cgi/logo.php?crc=<!--PAGE_CRC-->" border="0" height="250" width="1000" alt="my logo">

ALSO remove the old code from the header file:

Code: Select all

<img src="/scj/cgi/rot_in.php?crc=<!--PAGE_CRC-->" border=0 width=0 height=0 style="position: absolute; top: -100; left: -100">

It is no longer needed...

What you are doing is removing that code because it uses a height, width size that looks spammy and bad to google. It also uses CSS to locate itself outside of the viewable area. Another spammy looking thing to google. Instead you are doing the referrer detection and other information through your logo which will still show just like before.

Thanks for the clarification mate.

After applying the fix as per admin's advice in this thread I already see traffic coming back in as fast as 12 hours.

Not sure that it's necessary now, but 'just in case'
