Anyone else having webmaster tools delays?
-
My errors just stopped updating on April 25. Everything else is updating normal, did something change/

We had been working down the number from 300k and it should have hit 0 within a day or two of when webmaster tools stopped working.

Like John said, it is a known problem. Here's a post that Barry wrote at SER about it:

Thank You

Has the potential to be a great tool if they did just a little work on it.

The WMT error reporting issue has been driving me crazy. At first it was stuck on the 23rd but it did move forward to the 25th for me eventually... but that doesn't exactly help me at all. Hopefully they'll figure it out and fix it soon.

my backlinks aren't updating on there. I deleted this stupid blog that my predecessor had built and had about 600 links pointing back at us from about 5-6 weeks ago and it still show shows all the links coming in on GWT.
But.. the site just flat-out doesn't exist. Bah

Yep, there is a problem with them updating at the moment, you aren't the only one

Since implementing GDPR, has anyone seen website traffic plummet?
On December 1 and 2, I implemented a cookie banner on 5 of my Wix sites (https://www.sanitationsolutionsinc.com is one example) in order to be in compliance with GDPR, CCPA, and LGPD. Since then my traffic according to Wix Analytics and Google Analytics has plummeted. Anyone else have the same issue? How did you fix it?

Webmaster Tools and Geolocation
Our site gets a significant amount of traffic from Venezuela, about 9% based on our Google Analytics (the US being 63%). According to Webmaster Tools we get 48% of our clicks from Venezuela. That discrepancy is massive, considering we are an English site. My theory is that they are not allowed/capable of using secure search in Venezuela for some legal reason and therefore their searches are much more 'visible'. Does anyone have any insight?

Sudden Increase In Number of Pages Indexed By Google Webmaster When No New Pages Added
Greetings MOZ Community: On June 14th Google Webmaster tools indicated an increase in the number of indexed pages, going from 676 to 851 pages. New pages had been added to the domain in the previous month. The number of pages blocked by robots increased at that time from 332 (June 1st) to 551 June 22nd), yet the number of indexed pages still increased to 851. The following changes occurred between June 5th and June 15th: -A new redesigned version of the site was launched on June 4th, with some links to social media and blog removed on some pages, but with no new URLs added. The design platform was and is Wordpress. -Google GTM code was added to the site. -An exception was made by our hosting company to ModSecurity on our server (for i-frames) to allow GTM to function. In the last ten days my web traffic has decline about 15%, however the quality of traffic has declined enormously and the number of new inquiries we get is off by around 65%. Click through rates have declined from about 2.55 pages to about 2 pages. Obviously this is not a good situation. My SEO provider, a reputable firm endorsed by MOZ, believes the extra 175 pages indexed by Google, pages that do not offer much content, may be causing the ranking decline. My developer is examining the issue. They think there may be some tie in with the installation of GTM. They are noticing an additional issue, the sites Contact Us form will not work if the GTM script is enabled. They find it curious that both issues occurred around the same time. Our domain is www.nyc-officespace-leader. Does anyone have any idea why these extra pages are appearing and how they can be removed? Anyone have experience with GTM causing issues with this? Thanks everyone!!!

What else do I do?
I am a web developer first, and SEO second. I've been under the impression that a good web developer created well organized and efficient sites. Over the last couple years I've been diving more into the advanced SEO world. Mostly focusing on keyword research, competition analyzation, and trying to help conversion increase. For the most part I have been successful with the clients that have hired me for SEO. I usually first start by doing keyword and competition research. After that I advise them on the content they should create. We discuss the end goal for all viewers and the end goal for each page type (front page, blog posts, interior page, and specific pages). We design the site around these end goals. We launch the site. I came up with an infographic with spaceships describing these steps as: Research, Plan, Build, Launch, Navigate. Somewhat based on scientific method. I haven't done a lot of link building yet though as for the most part I've been encouraging clients to first create content and focus on creating a community and relationship with people using whatever means they feel they are capable of actually using on a regular basis (facebook, google+, twitter, etc). I make sure to add schema code, 301 old urls, site is optimized, urls are structured well, site is interlinked. We also look at direct advertising and whatever other methods we can that would be positive for their end goal. But some of my clients I just can't seem to make much headway with. One sells medical insurance to small businesses, and also life insurance. For him I have focused on local targeting, and writing articles about topics which have the most possibilities for traffic in his market (it seems to be an incredibly competitive market). The other is a Dating & Life Coach. For her I am targeting locally as well, and also encouraging her to write articles for search phrases she has the best chances of ranking in. Again though, this market seems very competitive. She ranks in the top 20 for a few articles now (she has written about 6-8 since we started). She gets very few visits from these articles though (of course she is not in the top 3). My worry is this: For the articles she has a 100% bounce rate and less than 30 seconds viewer time. I'd like to see more data over time with more viewers but my question is: What else can I do? And what if the content she writes people just don't find useful? Same goes for the insurance guy... Maybe I'm just looking for reassurance I'm going in the right direction.

Yahoo Webmaster Tools still work?
Now that Yahoo is using Bing's search results, do we still need to monitor and use Yahoo's Webmaster's Tools - or do we stick to using the Bing Webmaster Tools?
