Google anomaly
-
Hi,
As per Google's Keyword Tool , the exact search volume for a particular keyword is 22000.
As per Google's Webmaster Tool , my SER for the same keyword is 5.8
BUT , I see only 500 impressions for this keyword in webmaster !
Can someone help decipher this behavior ?
-
Thanks Mate

It is because in AdWords KT Google estimates potential on global and local market.
In webmaster tools, when localization is not specified google collect data in a specific way, can say it's a measure of a propagation of particular site (written in e.g. english) in many local markets which are use that language.
Result is neither global nor local. Result is specific for particular site, language and many other factors responsible for spreading a content in many places. Please that it is correct for assumption that localization of a site is not set.
In other cases local results from GKT and local from GWT are comparable.
Hope my explanation clarified your doubts
-
Sry about the confusion ... I mean certain keywords in GKT have search volume around 22000 and GWT impressions around 15000. Why does not these keywords show "local" impression only in GWT
-
Sorry I don't understand, could you please ask clearly, what is search volume? in GWT?
-
But what about other keywords which GWT search volume around 22000 and GWT impressions around 15000
How do these keywords fit in entire scheme of things ?

If you didn't choose a geographic location google use different signals:
"If no information is entered in Webmaster Tools, we'll rely largely on the site's country domain (.ca, .de, etc.). If an international domain (.com, .org, .eu, etc) has been used, we'll rely on several signals, including IP address, location information on the page, links to the page, and any relevant information from Google Places."
more: GWT help
so your traffic can be for example from many english speaking countries
-
It depends - probably for google.com did you localize a site?
-
Correct ..
22000 is for Global in Google KWT
In google WT i have not set Geographic target
So which country say USA , Canada is the search impression for ?
-
Hello,
did you check what kind of searches is result from GKT? Global or local. In Google WT only the local searches are presented - just check it first

Buffer Link and Google Impressions
Afternoon, I noticed a spike in impressions over a couple of days in April, so I investigated Analytics to see where these were coming from. It appears these impressions were split between two URLs; one was a blog post, the other was the Buffer link to the blog post that we used on Twitter and Facebook. According to Analytics, this Buffer URL received 1000 impressions over two days, with an average SERP position of 16. This surely can't be right, can it? Is this just another Analytics quirk? After two days of a decent amount of impressions to this Buffer link, the amount of impressions dropped to pretty much zero. I know Tweets are now starting to rank, but this would be the Twitter URL, not the Buffer link to our blog post? Any ideas, Cheers, Lewis

Google Analytics Average Position
I'm looking at Google Analytics -> Acquisition -> Search Engine Optimization -> Queries reports. I'm looking at keywords and the average position. What Google reports and what I see in a Google incognito search is different (usually my search is much lower). For example, for one search term, Google reports 5.8 average position and every time I search it is 8. My local result is 4. Anyone know why this is? I'm wondering if Google is averaging the Local results into number?

Google Tag Manager breaking integration
Using Live Chat's (www.livechatinc.com) Google Analytics integration was populating events and virtual pageviews into my analytics account. I've since added Tag Manager and moved my analytics tracking code into there, but since doing so, the integration no longer seems to work as there is no population of either events or pageviews anymore. Anyone else had any experience of something similar? Any other suggestions (beyond not using GTM for analytics code anymore)? I was considering setting up the event tracking code manually in GTM, but not really sure how to do so seeing as I'm not sure what to fire the different events on. This is the live chat JS code:

Google Maps not passing referral data
Google Maps is not passing referral data (URLs, not KWs). Google+ Local is referring, but nothing from maps. Maps referrals appear to be coming across as direct. Any ideas? We haven't found anything online, one of the guys at the office documented what we did find, using Chrome's debugger - http://manofactionmetrics.com/2012/11/02/google-maps-not-passing-any-referral-data/

Seeing / and no / in Google Analytics
When I look at my Google Analytics code, I see that the same content will show up twice, once with a / at the end of the URL, and once without. My site is at http://www.skypeenglishclasses.com. Does anyone know why this would happen? Is it duplicate content?
