Has Google changed its algorithm? My traffic has almost doubled and I don't know why.
-
My traffic has nearly doubled over the past few days, and my conversion rate has doubled as well.
It looks like our rankings haven't changed...
We haven't done anything to the site recently, although we did submit a couple of press releases through the wire not too long ago (within the last few weeks).
I do not think that this is a cyclical/seasonal jump in traffic because last year this did not occur.
Any ideas?

Product feeds are typically for eCommerce. It looks like you're in the mortgage business, so I don't know if there is something comparable or not. Perhaps someone in these forums can help us out on that. There may be a news feed or something similar.
Google, Bing and The Find will let you send them a product feed for free (as opposed to running a pay per click or pay per acquisition campaign).
Let's use Google for example. In short, our feed automatically sends Google our products with images, product name and info snippet with updates every day. Products in the feed are displayed in Google organic search and Google shopping. There are no pay per click or pay per acquisition charges.

Whats a product feed?
-
heh..... Christmas Bills was my guess.. but you said this didn't happen last year.
Is there a mortgage program or deduction in play?
-
Did someone add your site to a product feed while you were on a holiday vacation? Nothing like a product feed to put you on page one and increase your traffic/conversions by 30-50%.

This site resell affiliate traffic - so if you've visitors from this source, than somebody definitely register account and add you site.. if traffic stopped it can be trial $10.

My popular landing pages are all the same...
We're getting more referral traffic from searchcaveman.com - what is that? It still doesn't account for everything though.

Awesome news!
Check out you analytics account and track where the traffic came from...Has it come from a variety of sources or just a single source?
Maybe another website has just linked to you? or your being found for many more key terms?
Or your ranking well for a phrase your don't know about?
Analytics will be able to tell you.

Why would our client's site be receiving significant levels of organic traffic for a keyword they do not rank for?
We have a client that has received 100+ organic visits for the keyword 'airport transfers', yet the site does not rank in the top 100 search results for this keyword. We have checked that it is not untagged PPC traffic. Truly baffling. Can anybody help?

Why are there url's in my np Keywords in google analtyics?
I have been scratching my head at this one. On my not provided keywords, there is a url. Keyword is the primary dimension. It doesn't makes sense why there would be url keywords for pages with a different url. For example, the keywords for page www.xyz.com/abc np - /someotherurl.com Thanks for your insights in advance!

Client's Google Analytics account access is 'user' only from previous web developer
Just wondering if you have any advice on the following scenario: Client's GA account was set-up by a previous web developer. The client's GA account is a user account (not admin). When we request from the previous web developer that the account access be changed to admin, the web developer says they can't do that as we'll then have access to all the other GA accounts within their account. Does this mean we'll have to create a new GA profile for the client and lose all historic GA data? Any guidance greatly appreciated.

Setting up goals in Google Analytics
Hello! This question is seems so obvious that I'm also ashamed to ask... almost. If the goal of a website is to have a visitor complete a contact form, when setting up the Goal in Google Analytics (as a "URL destination") the URL of choice would be the form's thank you page, correct? Because that's the page that proves the visitor completed the task we want them the achieve. Right? Thanks!

Google Analytics and DNS change
Our new alumni application is going be tested at domain uva.imodules.com . We are going to collect traffic data with a Google analytics account number UA-884652-XX. So going to uva.imodules.com/myPage.html would send its data to Google Analytics with that account number. Then when it is ready for production we are going to just change the domain name of the application and switch the DNS over to dardencommunity.darden.virginia.edu . So going to dardencommunity.darden.virginia.edu /myPage.html would send its data to Google Analtics with that SAME account number. Aside from having the testing domain data in the same profile are there any other issues/problems we may run into?

SEO traffic had significantly dropped
I know this question has been asked before, but I'm hoping someone can address my specific issue. We recently did a complete redesign of our site and moved it over to a new server. The site was even "down" for about a week, where we had a static splash page. However since relaunching (it's not been over two weeks) we've seen a significant drop in search engine traffic. We are using Yoast for Wordpress. The site is The Tech Block. Could anyone see if there is something we're doing wrong? Thanks

Alternative to Google Analytics
Hi from sunny Manchester! I'm looking for recommendations for alternatives to GA. I'm specifically looking for something which won't sample data and will give us accurate numbers. Our site is pretty big, it receives 6 million+ visits and 50 million+ pageviews/year. Any recommendations would be greatly received together with any good/bad experiences you've had with them. Thanks in advance, Brendan.
