Higher Traffic Numbers?
-
Recently we have been getting higher organic traffic number than usual? Some of them are keywords that I have not been working on? How is this possible? When Google gives you a bump is it gradually? Most of them long tail words. If our backlink/content building is slowly beginning to work would this explain it? I did submit my site to BOTW and Yahoo, not sure if this could also be why we are getting a boost?
Thank You

I've heard of a number of webmasters lately who saw a big jump in traffic after the last Panda update. Some of them attributed it to their own site making a recovery, and many feel that they did better because their competitors got affected by Panda.
I feel that Google is getting better at identifying long tails and that is good for sites with good content!

I was thinking the same on the penguin update, on a few weeks ago my traffic was triple what is was, then slowly tapered off. Im hoping these are perm.
Thanks very much!

I would say so (depending which seo efforts were undertaken of course).
Also I have noticed myself that for some our clients our traffic has gone up, due to competitors being crushed by the penguin update.

Hello! the majority of traffic is now long tail organic, reason I ask is b/c this is the first spike of organic traffic ive seen. I guess this would be from all of my seo efforts?

Hi LittleBigMan,
Your best bet finding out where your traffic is coming from is checking your Analytics (which hopefully has been setup?).
On the left you'll be able to go from Traffic Sources -> Search -> Organic. On this page you'll see all the keywords that have brought you in traffic organically.
Also check under the referrals tab to see if BOTW and Yahoo are bringing you any traffic.
Best of luck!

How to improve my DA number?
My website’s ranking, content as well as data are very good, but the DA number is low. Is this normal? Can someone tell me how MOZ evaluate a website's domain authority? Or what kind of adjustment can improve the DA ranking? How often does MOZ adjust a website's DA?

Blog traffic / link ratio? (Esimated of how much traffic will result in a link)
Hi, Was wondering if people could please tell me some estimates of how much traffic is likely to gain links to a blog post? For example 1,000 hits = 1 link, Hence 10,000 hits = 10 links to a blog post? I understand there is no magic ratio I just want to know what people have achieved. I’m after averages not just a one off really successful blog post too. Please specify the topic you achieve this in e.g. SEO, photography, business, heath... etc.
