I'm facing website direct traffic-related issue on my website, how to solve it?
-
I'm having a huge number of direct traffic on my website. But, I'm not able to know that from where traffic is approaching, like which source or website.
I want to know the source of traffic generating on my website?_Can anyone help on how to track this traffic? _
Can you recommend any Tool or some other way to know the source of traffic?
Due to direct traffic, the stats of my website are here: https://www.screencast.com/t/p3wxkLdJAL

Direct traffic is almost always going to be one of your top traffic sources. There are a number of reasons people end up in this bucket.
- They open a new browser and go straight to your site. There is no referrer to track here and is what people think of when they see the Direct bucket.
- A user was on your site, but kept the tab open. Hours or days later, they get back to the tab and engage again. That is a direct session since there was not a referrer.
- A user is blocking the information of the referring site through their own computer settings. You can't control this.
- A mistake happens on the referring site's side. You can't see this either or do anything about it. A company I worked for saw a spike in Direct traffic that ended up being Snapchat ads once. There wasn't much to be done.
- A mistake is happening in your setup of Google Analytics. This is unlikely, but if you have a custom setup, talk to the person that is in charge of that on your site.

WEbsite cannot be crawled
I have received the following message from MOZ on a few of our websites now Our crawler was not able to access the robots.txt file on your site. This often occurs because of a server error from the robots.txt. Although this may have been caused by a temporary outage, we recommend making sure your robots.txt file is accessible and that your network and server are working correctly. Typically errors like this should be investigated and fixed by the site webmaster. I have spoken with our webmaster and they have advised the below: The Robots.txt file is definitely there on all pages and Google is able to crawl for these files. Moz however is having some difficulty with finding the files when there is a particular redirect in place. For example, the page currently redirects from threecounties.co.uk/ to https://www.threecounties.co.uk/ and when this happens, the Moz crawler cannot find the robots.txt on the first URL and this generates the reports you have been receiving. From what I understand, this is a flaw with the Moz software and not something that we could fix form our end. _Going forward, something we could do is remove these rewrite rules to www., but these are useful redirects and removing them would likely have SEO implications. _ Has anyone else had this issue and is there anything we can do to rectify, or should we leave as is?

'Duplicate Page Content' for dissimilar pages
I'm using Moz's Crawl Diagnostics to try and clean up some SEO priorities for our website (http://www.craftcompany.co.uk) HOWEVER, virtually all of the pages that are being categorised as duplicate content are not the same, or indeed similar. For instance, these three pages have been deemed duplicated pages; http://www.craftcompany.co.uk/pme-rose-leaf-veined-plunger.html http://www.craftcompany.co.uk/double-faced-satin-ribbon-black-25mm-wide.html http://www.craftcompany.co.uk/double-faced-satin-maroon-10mm-wide-25mt.html Can anyone give me an insight into why this is? Many Thanks! http://www.craftcompany.co.uk/
