Why did my site go from 1,000 Impressions to 0 impressions over the past couple days
-
so we have been doing a lot of reconstruction our website the past couple days with our navigation and moving stuff around. Now bare with me because i am a noob to SEO and i am still learning. But we went from a steady 800-1000 impressions everyday to a 0 since the first. you can check out our site here:
Not sure if its because we are moving stuff around or what. But we can notice that our conversion rate has dropped and we have had traffic but no conversions and no orders. Is what we are doing bad or is this normal?
-
Yeah i will go ahead and check my tracking code, Maybe it is that.
Also with my conversion drop should i change it back to the way i had it? or just leave it and wait for everything to catch up and for people to get use to the new navigation?
-
Can you clarify where you are at. You say you have 0 impressions, but also that you have traffic. That seems contradictory.
If it is 0 - as in absolute flatline the first think I would check is your tracking code. If you have server stats as well maybe check one against the other to make sure that you don't just have a tracking error. However your pages are indexed and you have google analytics tracking code in place, so a total flat line in traffic seems unlikely.
Check your top entry sources from before the drop. What were your top terms - what pages were they panding on. Are you still ranking for those terms? Has the URL changed (in which case maybe redirect from the old one), if not how do the new and old pages compare.
I've often seen an initial conversion drop when sites are changed around - even when the changes are big improvements. On sites where you have a lot of repeat visitors this can be because people are used to the site as it was.

Zero '0' Total Visits
Hi. One of the properties in our account has been reporting zero '0' total visits for the past few weeks. The other properties aren't affected. Is there a reason for this or is this an issue on the Moz side of things. Thanks!Moz Zero Visits.PNG

Filter Tracking works fine at staging site but not on LIVE site why?
Hello Expert, For my ecommerce site I want to track filter url's like price range, size, width, color etc and fully filter url should display in google analytic. I have implemented filter tracking at staging server and it works perfectly but on LIVE site it not show me full filter url.

And in search console I have configure two parameters. 1) effect - Sort, Crawl - No urls 2) FT - effect- ( - ) , crawl - Let google bot decide. But as per me this parameter is for crawling should not affect tracking right? mysite.com?FP=0&filtSeq=Price&Sort=BS

Using Site Maps Correctly
Hello I'm looking to submit a sitemap for a post driven site with over 5000 pages. The site hasn't got a sitemap but it is indexed by google - will submitting a sitemap make a difference at this stage? Also, most free sitemap tools only go up to 5000 pages, and I'm thinking I would try a sitemap using a free version of the tool before I buy one - If my site is 5500 pages but I only submit a sitemap for 5000 (I have no control of which pages get included in the sitemap) would this have a negative effect for the pages that didn't get included? Thanks

Redirects to external sites
Hi there, I have listings that all link to external sites. In order to track how many times each link was clicked I coded a redirect script that simply redirects to the respective url. www.mysite.com/go/123/ - redirects to another site www.mysite.com/go/541/ - redirects to a different site Is there anything I should or should not do from seo stand point such as blocking the /go directory in robots or adding a no-follow tag to links? I'd appreciate your advice. Thanks

Hi there, been combing this page for some answers - https://developers.google.com/analytics/devguides/collection/gajs/gaTrackingSite but can't seem to figure it out.

So say, Site A has a Newsletter, directing them to Site A but promoting Site B - i'd like to track the effectiveness of the newsletter. Site A is running a white label of Site B service. Thoughts? Cheers
