Google Keyword Tool Showing Conflicting Data
-
Google Adwords Keyword Tool is showing different data for the same keywords.
Broad Match
Local Search Volume is 2400 apiece logged in from my main account.
Local Search Volume 3600 and 1900 logged in from a different account.
Can anybody explain this? I have screenshot of both.
-
I wonder if it has anything to do with semantics?
Main account:
Broad Match, Local Volume
shape magnets - 2400
shaped magnets - 2400
Other account:
Broad Match, Local Volume
shape magnets - 3600
shaped magnets - 1900

Yes. I've used this tool thousands of times over the past few years and have made sure all settings are similar across the board.

There has been LOADS of examples of this happening before (so you are not alone) but I have yet to see a really good answer to the problem really. I'd love to know the answer to this too!

It sounds obvious but in each account, are the Google localisation settings the same and the geo-targeting in the AdWords tool the same?

What Google Analytics Data to Share with Potential Website Buyer
Hi Mozzers,
Industry News | | emerald
We have contacted our competitors to let them know we would like to sell our website (domain and all content). One of them has asked for Google Analytics data. Which parts of this and how is this data best shared in such a case? As this is the opening of offers, I'm assuming some kind of PDF export with a summary of some Analytics data is sufficient to see who is serious. Then for those who are serious more data could be shared. Or is it ever ok to share your full Analytics with a competitor? Would love to hear what data and best practises are used to share this kind of information. Thank you.0 -

What do people think of Google discouraging guest blogging
Google is recommending that websites nofollow any links from press releases or guest blogging. Do people think this is really the new standard and sites could get penalized for guest blogging with follow links? Is anyone changing their strategy after hearing this announcement? Where does this leave people who work in difficult niches (such as gambling)?

Sudden drop in keyword ranking
Since last Friday (09/28/12) all of my keyword ranking is gone. I checked the webmaster and found, among the others, one error "access denied" "1 error found" "server requires login or is blocking googlebot" Im trying to see if this thing has to do with sudden drop of ranking? I have other sites on the webmaster and none of them is showing this type of error. Help will be appreciated. When I check individual urls they are there (indexed).

"Links To Your Site" In Webmaster Tools
How often does Google update the "links to your site" data. It seems that it has been static for about a month now even though we have made a lot of changes Does anyone have any idea? If you have made changes to your links (i.e removed links, updated anchor text, etc.), do you have to wait for this information to be updated to measure the impact? Or is that whenever Google crawls those pages/sites and sees changes there is a adjustment. Thanks

Keyword Strategy
I am working with a company that has had a few "SEO Experts" work on it's site over the last year. The strategy these "experts" used to generate keywords is to optimize on many general keywords and, when mixed all together, make the keywords they are optimizing against. For example, they did photo printing. They would optimize for the keywords: photo prints printing print photographs photography 4x6 cheap .... Maybe I am missing something, but I have never seen a keyword list managed this way... is this "normal"? Is this something "new" I am missing? Any advice or strategy tips on this one? Thanks in advance!

Google places rejected
google has rejected a few listing i have for certain businesses, i have read the guidlines and I am well inside them. It does say that if business name is changed you need to re-verify, but does not allow you to do so. I think google have lost their way, they should stop building operating systems and electric cars and get their web site sorted out.
