Higher Traffic Numbers?
-
Recently we have been getting higher organic traffic number than usual? Some of them are keywords that I have not been working on? How is this possible? When Google gives you a bump is it gradually? Most of them long tail words. If our backlink/content building is slowly beginning to work would this explain it? I did submit my site to BOTW and Yahoo, not sure if this could also be why we are getting a boost?
Thank You

I've heard of a number of webmasters lately who saw a big jump in traffic after the last Panda update. Some of them attributed it to their own site making a recovery, and many feel that they did better because their competitors got affected by Panda.
I feel that Google is getting better at identifying long tails and that is good for sites with good content!

I was thinking the same on the penguin update, on a few weeks ago my traffic was triple what is was, then slowly tapered off. Im hoping these are perm.
Thanks very much!

I would say so (depending which seo efforts were undertaken of course).
Also I have noticed myself that for some our clients our traffic has gone up, due to competitors being crushed by the penguin update.

Hello! the majority of traffic is now long tail organic, reason I ask is b/c this is the first spike of organic traffic ive seen. I guess this would be from all of my seo efforts?

Hi LittleBigMan,
Your best bet finding out where your traffic is coming from is checking your Analytics (which hopefully has been setup?).
On the left you'll be able to go from Traffic Sources -> Search -> Organic. On this page you'll see all the keywords that have brought you in traffic organically.
Also check under the referrals tab to see if BOTW and Yahoo are bringing you any traffic.
Best of luck!

Subdomain with higher domain authority vs. ccTLD with lower domain authority
Our website is active in many countries and we are considering if it is worth it to switch from ccTLD to subdomains.The reason is that our company.com domain has a domain authority of 65 and some of the ccTLD's like company.fr and company.de etc have a domain authority of 30. From what I have read, moving these to a subdomain structure like fr.company.com and de.company.com will give them all the same domain authority (of 65 vs 30) which is considerably higher. 1. Would a subdomain with domain authority 65 rank better than a ccTLD with authority 30 (considering all else is the same)? 2. When we 301 redirect all ccTLD's to the subdomains, will our domain authority increase (to more than 65) for company.com, given that it can benefit from all redirected links to our ccTLD's? Thanks in advance!

What is the importance of root domains linking to your website in Google's rankings? I notice our competition has a much higher number on keywords I'm analyzing. Thank you!
I've noticed our competition has a much higher number of "root domains" linking to their page than we do. Is this simply a result of more websites linking to them? How long does it normally take to build up these numbers/rankings? (I'm assuming it's a concerted effort, which I'll be researching.) Thank you!
