How long does google take to pick up your new page headings and on page optimisation and when will results show fpr keywords due to this
-
can someone help thanks x
-
Yeah, agreed - it can really vary, and it depends on how often Google re-crawls your site, how deep the page is, etc. Keep in mind that "web design" keywords are very competitive generally, so just adding them to new pages isn't going to automatically get you ranking.

For my websites ranking on pages 1-3 of Google, I usually see changes in 2-3 days. However, the actual rank often jumps around a bit.

Matthew's correct, it may or may not help you in G ranking and it seems like if you do major changes like sitewide for instance you may even get a kick down for sometime until G knows you are finished making the changes.
Usually changes can be seen in Serp within a week for most sites, but it can be longer for some.
We've also found that if you rank well on yahoo for some reason it's not the same on G, and vice versa. Could just be us, but it makes sense that S.E's wouldn't want to show the same results as each other.
All the best!

Hello Laura,
Page headings and onpage optimization isn't going to be the key on specifically ranking up keywords. Your keywords may not move at all due to this.
I highly suggest you read many more threads here on some tactics on how to rank up keywords. There are many different ways to rank keywords, and many theories on how to rank them. I highly suggest that you read Rands posts and I personally like this thread here http://www.seomoz.org/blog/top-1-seo-tips-for-2013 by Dr. Pete. He's also very smart and knows what hes talking about.
As for the time it takes for Google to analyze your site is not known really. It can be right away, or it can be in two weeks. It all depends on how popular your website is and what reason Google has to keep going to your website. Is your website new? Is it already indexed by Google? If not you could submit your site to search engines, or ping it using a ping services. It's also a good idea to submit your site to social sites so it gets indexed quicker.
Have a great night and a happy holidays.

Webmaster Tools Average keyword position
Hello! For the last month i have notices a drastic change in Avg.position for a keyword on my clients site http://livoart.lv keyword: "kapu pieminekļi". According to webmaster tools it went from 13 to 4-2. The problem is that in orgranic search i keep seeing the keyword on the second page and the CTR of the keyword did not change at all. Why would webmaster tools show false data?

Crawl errors for pages that no longer exist
Hey folks, I've been working on a site recently where I took a bunch of old, outdated pages down. In the Google Search Console "Crawl Errors" section, I've started seeing a bunch of "Not Found" errors for those pages. That makes perfect sense. The thing that I'm confused about is that the "Linked From" list only shows a sitemap that I ALSO took down. Alternatively, some of them list other old, removed pages in the "Linked From" list. Is there a reason that Google is trying to inform me that pages/sitemaps that don't exist are somehow still linking to other pages that don't exist? And is this ultimately something I should be concerned about? Thanks!

Google SERP showing a URL with UTM_source attached - why? Can I stop it?
I just found a Google search results page showing a URL with a UTM source tag attached. Any idea how or why this has happened? How can I stop it as I'm guessing this is overwriting my organic visits with referrals from this site. See attached photo for pic of SERP page. The link is going here: http://employment.govt.nz/er/holidaysandleave/parentalleave/?utm_source=newzealandnow.govt.nz 5vxTDTi.png

Conflicting data in Google Analytics
Hi Guys I've been looking at the data for a client in Google analytics and I was wondering if anyone knows why some of the data doesn't tally up. In my case its the following: Under Aquisition
Reporting & Analytics | | Relative
No of Sessions for a Keyword shown in Organic Search tab (compared to)
No of Clicks for a Query in the Search Engine Optimisation tab For example, for a brand term, Google are showing 17 Sessions in Organic Search.
For the same term Google are showing 90 Clicks in the Queries section of Search Engine Optimisation OK, we know that Google are a little cloak and dagger regarding keyword data but surely Sessions and Clicks for the same keyword should be identical unless I'm missing something.0 -
Google Analytics is treating my blog like all the content is just on the home page.
Hello all, I installed Google Analytics on a main website and a blog (blog.travelexinsurance.com) While it appears to be tracking correctly (and when I test it in real time it shows that I'm visiting) but it is treating the entire blog as though it's one page. So I can't see data on blog post X. All I see is that X visitors came to my blog in aggregate. So I see blog.travelex.com has 999 visitors, but it doesn't show that /travel-luggage got 50 visits, while /insurace-tips got 75 and so forth. I assume I screwed up the tracking somehow, but can't figure out where I went wrong. Tracking on the main domain works just fine. It's specific to the blog.

Google Analytics Myth?
Dear Moz-members, I have read several discussions regarding not to implement Google analytics on your website. Reason: Google is tracking your website behavior, for example you have a high bounce rate it will affect your rankings negative. See it as we are opening the doors too much to Google so it can have a negative impact on your online business, especially when your site is new and you are still building your credit. Because of this i have not chosen to install GA. What is your experience with this? Most of the time if i read analytics posts at Seomoz, people do have GA installed. I am also in doubt whether to switch over at GA, but then again mine site is relative new and i am still working on the negative bounce rate/daily visitors. Would like to hear from you pro's whether this is a myth or not 🙂 Thanks!

Google Search Results inconsistent from different computers
Recently after some optimization activities - I do not see much movement in search rankings - my client is seeing the results on page 1 position 3 and I see page 2 for the same keyword. How does Google change ranking based on past searches and how can I get an accurate picture of what the actual rank is?
