Hey Everyone,

I've been searching for data on the percentage of people who click on paid vs organic. My last stats which are now outdated show 60% of the people click on organic on average and 40% click on paid. Any help/links would be greatly appreciated.

Hey There! Have you had a chance to install Google Analytics on your site?

If so, you can see this by going to Google Analytics. On the left side of the page:

1. Click on behaivor

2. Click on site content

3. Click on all pages

It will then display a list of all of the viewed pages on your website.

I hope that helps!

Yes - I would remove/no-index rather than redirect. The URL's don't have any equity so it's not worth redirecting them. Thanks!

Hey there!

At first glance, it looks like your site has been hit with a malware attack. I would recommend using a service like https://sucuri.net to help you clean up the site and put certain protective elements in place so that you don't get hit again.

Once that is done, you'll want to go into the search console and bing webmaster tools to no-index any other spam URL's that may have been created from the attack.

I hope that helps!

Hey Neil - I think if you went this way you would be okay. You may see a short-term drop from the redirect but the majority of the equity would be transferred. User experience is always important in Google's mind so if you follow that for the new website structure and URL structure (along with the 301's) you should be okay. I hope that helps!

Hey Neil!

I assume that /personalise-toys will be a more general category that will link to new more specific categories like /personalised-toys-for-boys right?

If that's the case, I would just change the content on the more general category to the new content/products that you have with the new site (rather than 301 redirect). The equity would be transferred to the more general category which lists products relevant to it. So if someone Googled it, they would still be able to find what they are looking for. The equity that you've built up with the more general URL will be passed to the new URLs that you create and link to (I assume) in the new iteration of the website.

Hey there! This is a fantastic question. I would continue the process of posting your images to social as it will improve the probability of people finding you either way. I know it's tedious but if you find that you get a presence in image search on your site and in Google with both, I would keep it up. You can create a custom action in photoshop where you just take an image into that and it'll brand it with a few clicks (you may have been doing that already).

I commend your diligence on doing both as an A/B experiment. I would love to know if these image searches via pinterest are driving response via your site (sales/leads).

Thanks!

John
