In addition:
• The content is the most important part of what needs to be fixed. Nothing is uniquely valuable. And from a consumer standpoint, I have no faith in your content marketing strategy based on the several grammatical errors, punctuation missteps and lack of uniform capitalization.
• There is nothing engaging about the graphics you have, everything is really cluttered. I am not sure why your page titles are showing in the upper left hand corner of the screen either, it is erroneous and it looks messy.
• I would add some user created content like reviews or images of cell phones and people using them. Something more relevant to what you are advertising.
• The copy on your site should advertise the uniquely valuable asset you can offer perspective clients that your competition cannot. I am not sure what that is from reading your site.
• The first thing I would do after fixing the content is updating the meta data to follow best practice. Moz has some great guidelines in their Learning SEO section.

After a quick look:
- 200+ meta titles are far too long
- Only your homepage has a meta description - every page needs one
- Lots of missing, duplicate or irrelevant H1s
- In my opinion, the homepage is too busy and cluttered
- Contact details should be on every page - maybe incorporate your email address/telephone number into the header

PDF web traffic hitting our site
Hi there, Over the last few months our traffic has spiked due to irrelevant pdf documents sending us crap traffic, our bounce rate is sky high as well as other metrics. I don't want to just filter out this traffic in GA rather try and stop our site from being attacked. Any advice on a way forward would be great. Thanks

Differences in site search revenue in GA
I just put in a piece of software to replace a really bad built in site search engine on my 3dcart website. Now I am trying to measure the change, but I am having some issues. When I check the ecom data in the conversions section of GA with the built in segment Performed Site Search, I get promising results. Approximately 5% revenue increase over LY. But if we jump to behavior, site search, usage, and then check the visits with site search, I get a decrease by 4%. And the actual revenue is off, by like double (150k compared to 80k) Anyone have any idea why I am getting these results? The site search function is set up. Tracking is enabled, query parameter is keyword and search url is /search.asp?keyword=

When to note Keyword improvement/decline?
Every report we have fluctuations in our rankings, but the majority of them are only a few places up or a few places down. Other than first page and top 3, when do you all start noting fluctuations (good or bad)? Would you start at 5, 10, 20 etc? Thanks, Ruben

Something strange going on with new client's site...
Please forgive my stupidity if there is something obvious here which I have missed (I keep assuming that must be the case), but any advice on this would be much appreciated. We've just acquired a new client. Despite having a site for plenty of time now they did not previously have analytics with their last company (I know, a crime!). They've been with us for about a month now and we've managed to get them some great rankings already. To be fair, the rankings weren't bad before us either. Anyway. They have multiple position one rankings for well searched terms both locally and nationally. One would assume therefore that a lot of their traffic would come from Google right? Not according to their analytics. In fact, very little of it does... instead, 70% of their average 3,000 visits per month comes from just one referring site. A framed version of their site which is through reachlocal, which itself doesn't rank for any of their terms. I don't get it... The URL of the site is: www.namgrass.co.uk (ignore there being a .com too, that's a portal as they cover other countries). The referring site causing me all this confusion is: http://namgrass.rtrk.co.uk/ (see source code at the bottom for the reachlocal thing). Now I know reach local certainly isn't sending them all that traffic, so why does GA say it is... and what is this reachlocal thing anyway?? I mean, I know what reachlocal is, but what gives here with regards to it? Any ideas, please??
