Self-Referrals
-
Hi Guys,
I am getting Self-Referrals in my Google analytics, how can I get rid of These?
-
Hi John. You can also exclude by domain within Analytics. See: https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/2795830

It depends a bit on what is causing the self-referrals; normally when you check analytics it gives an indication what the source of the problem might be.
You could check this article https://threeventures.com/how-to-fix-self-referrals-in-google-analytics/ or this one (http://gatipoftheday.com/use-the-landing-pages-report-to-isolate-self-referrals/) on how to fix the problem.
Hope this helps,
rgds,
Dirk

Changing H1 Tag based on referrer
Hello, I need some quick help and advice. We're going through a website re-design, and we have a few H1 tags set on some of our inner pages. The team is ok with these, however they want to change the H1 tag if the user gets to that page from a page within the site. Example:
Web Design | | uSell
When the referrer is our site (www.domain.com), the H1 tag = Go to Step 2 When the referrer is anything else, the H1 tag = Welcome to our site I'd like to keep the H1 tag as the SEO rich keyword text we agreed on (in this case "Welcome to Our Site"), however our developers don't think its directional enough and wants to change it based on the user path. I'm ok with the suggestion, however I want to make sure that if we choose the option with the referrer that this doesn't impact our SEO efforts. I'm assuming the referrer will changed based on how the bot gets to the page, but i'm not certain and was wondering if anyone had some thoughts on this.. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks...0 -
Self hosted or YouTube Hosted Videos for SEO?
I am trying to plug holes in my site and the one thing that is lacking is unique videos. I was wondering what is the best way to go about videos for seo purposes? Should I just post onto a youtube channel and then embed into my site or should I look to just place videos on my site with software or should I use any of the other venders out there like Vimeo? Not sure which is the best route. Any tips?
