Have attached snippet of graph, URL of website is http://www.cheapcentralheating.co.uk - I have no idea whats happened here, and if anyone can advise or help I would be extremely grateful.

Always happy to contribute to cardiac health
I've had to talk down many clients for the same reason. I've tried to get through to Google about adding a notification about this to the page, but I just don't have the juice. I look for GA team members at every conference just in case
Go forth and kick butt.

I'm glad the solution was simple. Sounds like a glitch that Google has had plenty of time to fix but doesn't intend to any time soon. The suggestion of an automatic notation is logical and reasonable.

Journeyman, you may have just postponed a coronary - I was seriously being so careful when rebuilding this site from what I considered to be basically an ugly but effective site.....thanks again.

That chart you're showing is from Google Analytics Landing Pages, where the account has been connected to and is importing from Webmaster Tools.
Google Analytics ALWAYS has a two-day lag for reporting from Webmaster Tools. That is to say, the most recent two days in GA will always show zeros for data coming from Webmaster Tools.
Nothing to be concerned about - though why on earth Google doesn't insert a notation to that effect in the Search Optimization reports is beyond me. You're certainly not the first (nor last) to be panicked by this anomaly.
Paul
[Edited to add - this is also true in Webmaster Tools itself, it's just not as obvious because WMT simply doesn't include the most recent (empty) two days in the chart]

Thats a great tool I have bookmarked, but it's showing no signs that anything caused a massive problem - that said its only up to the 25th of last month and the problem I have started a couple of days ago.

Check out this tool and see if there are any corresponding Panda or Penguin updates that hit you.

An informational product page AND a shop page (for same brand)
Hi all, This is my first foray into e-commerce SEO. I'm working with a new client who sells upscale eBikes online. Since his products are expensive, he wants to have informational pages about the brands he sells eg. www.example.com/brand. However these brands are also category pages for his online shop eg. www.example.com/shop/brand I'm worried about keyword cannibalization and adding an extra step/click to get to the shop (right now the navigational menu takes you to the information page and from there you have to click to get to the shop) I'm pretty sure it would make more sense to have ONE killer shopping page that includes all the brand information but I want to be 100% sure before I advise him to take this big step. Thoughts?

New site: More pages for usability, or fewer more detailed pages for greater domain authority flow?
Ladies and gents! We're building a new site. We have a list of 28 professions, and we're wondering whether or not to include them all on one long and detailed page, or to keep them on their own separate pages. Thinking about the flow of domain authority - I could see 28 pages diluting it quite heavily - but at the same time, I think having the separate pages would be better for the user. What do you think?

Why is Google Webmaster Tools showing 404 Page Not Found Errors for web pages that don't have anything to do with my site?
I am currently working on a small site with approx 50 web pages. In the crawl error section in WMT Google has highlighted over 10,000 page not found errors for pages that have nothing to do with my site. Anyone come across this before?

Pages extensions
Hi guys, We're in the process of moving one of our sites to a newer version of the CMS. The new version doesn't support page extensions (.aspx) but we'll keep them for all existing pages (about 8,000) to avoid redirects. The technical team is wondering about the new pages - does it make any difference if the new pages are without extensions, except for usability? Thanks!

I know I'm missing pages with my page level 301 re-directs. What can I do?
I am implementing page level re-directs for a large site but I know that I will inevitably miss some pages. Is there an additional safety net root level re-direct that I can use to catch these pages and send them to the homepage?

One landing page with lots of content or content hub?
Interested in getting some opinions on if it's better to build one great landing page with tons of content or build a good landing page and build more content (as blog posts?) and interlink them back to the landing/hub page? Thoughts and opinions? Chris

Duplicate Page Content and Title for product pages. Is there a way to fix it?
We we're doing pretty good with our SEO, until we added product listing pages. The errors are mostly Duplicate Page Content/Title. e.g. Title: Masterpet | New Zealand Products MasterPet Product page1 MasterPet Product page2 Because the list of products are displayed on several pages, the crawler detects that these two URLs have the same title. From 0 Errors two weeks ago, to 14k+ errors. Is this something we could fix or bother fixing? Will our SERP ranking suffer because of this? Hoping someone could shed some light on this issue. Thanks.

For php pages youve got Header( "HTTP/1.1 301 Moved Permanently" );

?> Is there anything for html pages? Other then Or is placing this code redirect 301 /old/old.htm http://www.you.com/new.php in the .htaccess the only way to properly 301 redirect html pages? Thanks!0
