Measure traffic from serp feature
-
Hey
Does anyone know if there's a way of measuring traffic coming through serp features? I know that you can get some info on SEMrush but not traffic coming from those specific results like stories and instant answers. Thanks!

Thanks, Andy! I'm more looking into traffic coming from SERP features, I don't think you can get this info in GSC, but please let me know if I'm wrong!

Thanks, Brett!
Definitely not the answer I wanted to hear, but the one I was expecting tbh
I know you can track SERP features on SEMrush, but this will only tell you for which keywords you rank with SERP features, it doesn't give any information re traffic. I will keep researching this and if I come across any relevant information I will share it here!

This isn't the answer you want to hear, but I don't believe there is a way to do this. There is a way to see search traffic coming from different Google properties by removing Google as a search engine in Google Analytics. All traffic from different Google properties then shows up as referral traffic (so for example, I'd get to see traffic coming from images.google.com and traffic from google.fr, instead of everything showing up as Google/Organic).
But SERP features exist on google.com, meaning this is something that won't show up under sources because whether traffic clicks through on the SERP feature or your link, it's still coming from Google/Organic, and altering your settings so it shows up as referral it would still show up as traffic from google.com. Thinking about the way analytics collects data I don't think there's a way for us to determine a click through from a SERP feature unless Google provides that specificity.
If you find any information to the contrary, please share it here, because I'd love to dive into this myself if it's available!

Hi Anna,
It would be worth checking out Search Console and head into Search Traffic > Search Analytics.
You can then look at the Queries and see which terms are driving the most traffic - and those that are driving the least! Lots of other interesting information in there too.

60% of Direct traffic is actually Organic
For some pre-reading, Groupon experimented with deindexing part of their site back in 2014 and found that they had a big drop in direct traffic: http://searchengineland.com/60-direct-traffic-actually-seo-195415 Recently I've conducted a similar test on a very large site and have found that Direct dropped somewhere between 50-80% for the pages deindexed, depending on the day (It has been running for ~4 days). Has anyone else tried this experiment before? If so what were your results?

What I'm most interested in now is to find out why this traffic is classed as Direct - there appears to be no reason why the site or server would interfere, so I can only imagine that Google is sending traffic without referrer data. Does anyone have any thoughts as to why they would do that?0 -

A huge spike in traffic, mainely from social and organic
Hi there, We see this huge spike in traffic to our home page for almost a week now. When I check the source I see a crazy spike in Facebook traffic (25,630% change!!), Twitter and organic. The spike in traffic is to our home page alone. The bounce rate is much higher than avg. and time on page is shorter. Also, no. of new visitors to the site is higher than average. The traffic is obviously low quality and is hurting our site's statistics. Any ideas as to why this is happening? Many thanks in advance, Gal

Getting traffic for another site
Hi Everyone, Our website url/brand is very close to another website url/brand. We are non-competing entities. It appears as though this other company has begun a marketing program which has resulted in our traffic skyrocketing. However, it seems to have also resulted in our Pages/Visit and Visit Duration to decrease and our Bounce Rate to increase. Can anyone suggest how to deal with this type of scenario? Thanks,

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?
