My Organic traffic always going down on Thursday and Friday
-
I am the Webmaster of this site
Do not tell me some key files blocked by robots.It happened yesterday and applied the fix.
My traffic always goes down on Thursday/Friday but it starts getting better from Saturday.Is it some EMD update or what the hell is it coming back and hitting me every week on these two days.
Impressions with clicks also goes down.

What is this conspiracy theory EGOL?

Is it some EMD update or what the hell is it coming back and hitting me every week on these two days.
I think conspiracy theory is hitting you.

Yeps, that's exactly what we saw in our graphs too. I found a screenshot of this within one of my old documents which show exactly this. Take a look at this screenshot.

Martin and Itrogers I totally agree with your point but my question is why the Impressions and clicks got down on that very day.Do you want to say that on the whole people relating to my industry do not Google that much on these two days?
-
This happend to one of the sites I worked on before, we saw a decline in visits through out the week which was a pretty normal phenomenon. It was just the weekly routine for people looking for our products back then. At the end of the week they wouldn't search for any product related information and starting on Sunday evening throughout Tuesday they started searching for these products.
Based on the explanation you gave me I wouldn't say this is related to something like a weekly EMD update or any other update.
-
This can be the case but why the Impressions get down also with clicks.It only happened almost like every week for sure on Friday.
-
I am familiar with your industry but is there some connection between what people you market toward actually do on Thursday and Friday? I notice that my weekend traffic is the worst on Sat and Sunday, because my target market is enjoying their weekend and not working, surfing the web. Since it is consistent I am thinking that it is something related to your market.

Drop in Android organic search
Hay Moz Community, I have been analysing traffic fluctuations for a few websites and have found a noticeable drop in organic traffic from android devices. I initially thought it could be a generic mobile drop but iOS is holding its own? Can anyone share any insights they may have come across to explain the drop on android specifically. Thank you in advance

International Traffic on Analytics - Is this normal?
Hi All, One of our clients has asked why they are getting so much traffic from international countries when they solely operate in the UK. See attached image for % of customers who are visiting our site from different countries. Is this a normal ratio of traffic when we are only targeting UK customers? Thanks o6j2PEc

Tool Recommendations for Traffic Estimations
Hi Mozzers, Would appreciate your input on a tool (free or paid) that provides accurate information on the volume of traffic (paid and organic) that a site is getting every month. It would be nice if the tool can also provide data on the pages with most traffic (and number) page wise for a website? Cheers, SEO5..

Is it possible to know if visitor arrived at the web page via organic search and if so, show some content?
Hello, Is it possible to know if visitors are arriving at a web page via organic search? Background: We have a section of job description pages to explain typical tasks. These have very high bounce rate (some 100%), and I think people are confusing them with actual jobs. For example "stage designer". Many of those keyword we have very high rankings. I am thinking of having a small notice at the top of those page to say something like "if you are stage designer job, check out our job section". Thanks

Google Places rankings go away, but organic rankings stay the same / get better?
Hello, I hope you all can help me out here with the information I could provide. Anyways, the past number of months I have had 1 of our clients rank extremely high organically and on Google places. For example: My client is a law firm so if you search “CLIENTS-TOWN Attorney” they would come up organically on the first page and if you were in that town and search “CLIENTS-TOWN Attorney” or even just “Attorney” they would also come up in the Google Places list. Now for some reason starting a week ago I noticed they have completely disappeared from Google Places. No changes have been done to their site and everything is the same as it was. Their organic searches are the same if not better than before. Do you guys have any clue as to why this happened and how I could possibly turn this around? Thanks for your help in advance!
