Pages crawled
-
Hi
I've created a campaign for my own website and added 3 competitor sites. Under the campaign it says that 53 pages have been crawled but my site has less than 10 pages. Are the other pages from my competitor sites?
Thanks

Hi James,
Did you see the number of pages crawled reduced? Do you have any questions on this issue still?
-
I believe so, it should...

I'm going to make the change to my pages. Do you think I will see the number of pages crawled reduce?
Thanks

Hi James,
www and non-www are already 2 paths, www.example.com/ and www.example.com are another two. You can play with the idea
Also, you can focus more the link juice.
For ex. let's have Fritzy and Googgly, two visitors who would like to link you product page.
Fritzy will link to www.example.com/product/ -> with anchor text "product" (cool, eh'? We wish all of our links would look like this)
Then comes Googgly and links to the same product with the URL http://example.com/product/
Now you will have duplicate content linked separately and you wasted the link juice.
Just add a canonical to example.com/product/ which point the link juice to www.example.com/product/ -> you will transfer aprox 85% of link juice gained on example.com/product/ + it will not be duplicate content.
- another good part of canonicals is that you don't have two pages competing for the same keyword with same content.
I hope I didn't mass up here something
Another thing that you could do is just to 301 non-www to www or vice versa.

Hi Istvan
Thanks for the information and the link to the blog article which I have read. I've got no problem adding the canonical link but I don't see why it should improve the situation becuase all my pages are linked using the same parameters. From what I understand from the blog article is that this fixes an issue when the search engines keep coming back to the same page but thinks it is a different page becuase the URL it uses to reach the page is different. Am I understanding this correctly?
Thanks

Hi James,
So I have just took a quick look at the code. You don't use the canonicals at all.
Maybe you should check the following article by Rand Fishkin http://www.seomoz.org/blog/canonical-url-tag-the-most-important-advancement-in-seo-practices-since-sitemaps
It will help you eliminate dup. content from the site. After you implement the to the site you should have less pages indexed.
Feel free to ask if something was not clear enough.
Cheers,
Istvan

Hi James,
Are you sure you don't have any duplicate content issue?
For ex.usage of canonicals can save you from having your pages as duplicate content.
example.com and www.example.com are the same, but in the "eyes" of Search Engines, bots, spiders, etc they are different pages with duplicate content.
Maybe you should provide a link to your site, and I will check on it later.
I hope this helps,
Istvan

Do modal pop-ups impact the Google Analytics of the host page?
We have an instance of a page where visitors can click a button to start an interactive quiz. The quiz pops up in a modal window that references another domain (the interactive content provider). Will the person completing the quiz in the modal pop-up still be counted as an active visitor on the original host page during the time they are completing the quiz?

Google Crawl Stats
Hi all Wondering if anyone could help me out here. I am seeing massive variations in WMT of google crawl stats on a site I run. Just wondering if this is normal (see attached image). The site is an eccommerce site and gets a handful of new products added every couple of weeks. The total no of products is about 220k so this is only a very small %. I notice in WMT I have an amber warning under Server connectivity. About 10 days back I had warnings under DNS, Server and Robots. This was due to bad server performance. I have since moved to a new server and the other two warnings have gone back to green. I expect the Server connectivity one to update any day now. Ive included the graph for this incase it is relevant here. Many thanks for assistance. Carl crawlstats.png connect.png

Landing pages report - Meaning of clics metric
Hi there, I am looking at the landing pages report on Google Analytics, I see 4 columns: Impressiones Clics Average position CTR Regarding the clics metric, this shouldn't be equal to the sessions of organic traffic that you get? In Adwords, a clic is a session. What I see is that clics are not sessions and I am a bit surprised of this. Why are they different in this report? Thanks and regards Thanks and regards

Hello everyone,

Time on page: What happens when I open many tabs?
Hello everyone, I was studying Analytics, and checked that the time on page is calculated by the diference of the time you entered the page and when you click to go to another one. But how the time is calculated when I open several links using new tabs in different moments? Does Google counts the last tab? Just a guess... Thanks!

In-Page Analytics
Hey folks, In the in-page analytics section of GA I am wanting to get the % of clicks on a particular link over a large selection of dates. Does anyone know how to pull the data without having to do it day by day? Ideally I want to pull it all at once. There might of course be other ways to do this, if so please let me know. Thanks for your help. Cheers,
