Google Analytics Search Engine Optimisation Report
-
Hello,
Quick question. How much data should be available within Google Analytics within the Search Engine Optimisation Reports? I was always of the impression it was 6 months, however the data available as of this date only extends back to January 1st 2013.
Thanks,

Thanks. I thought that might be it. Definitely was considering that one. Great to know it's worthwhile.
-
It was one of the best investment I ever made: http://www.marketmotive.com/internet-marketing-training-and-certification-signup?top=home&topic=WebAnalytics

Francisco,
What is Avinash's program? Is it still offered?
Thanks!

I always ignore GWT info from GA. I think it's pretty weak. I only use GWT to check the health and other things directly related to the site, not rankings. GWT is all over the place. Even Rand mentioned this long ago at MozCon.
If you are looking for real search engine custom reports, go to Avinash's website kaushik.net. He is VERY well know in the GA world. I'm a graduate of his program.
-
90 days of data is available, as everyone's already pointed out.
Furthermore, you won't be able to see the previous 48 hours of GWT (Google Webmaster Tools) data from today's date as it's still being compiled.
Google Analytics will not store the "Queries" but will record any clicks on organic keywords in your Organic Search sources section.
-
The data comes direct from Google Webmaster Tools, which only displays data back 3 months. I can't recall if GA stores the data for us so it holds further back, though. Still, this seems to be pretty common. Oh well.

Much appreciated!
Not sure what has caused this, but looks like its been set to run from the New Year and I can't find any coverage on it. Very interesting!
-
Yeah , same here. Stats from 1 Jan 2013.
-
Same with me.
-
Just looked at our account and its the same date as you said - Jan 1st 2013.

Google Index Issue - Indexing pages that don't exhist
Hi All, I have noticed a weird issue when performing a search on Google to show me all the pages it is indexing of our site. site:www.one2create.co.uk It brings up most of our website pages but then is also brings up a few HTTPS urls (our site has not been converted to HTTPS yet) but also the URL path, Title, and Meta Description are from one of our clients websites (an Automotive Job site). When clicked they take you to a generic 404 server error page, not our branded 404 page. The site that it has taken the url, title and meta description from is on a different server completely so I don't see how it has even managed to get that information and linked it to our site? Has anyone seen anything like this before? And what is the best way to fix it? We have asked Google to re-index the site but still no luck.

How come this one google places listing is the only one to show up google maps?
Hi there, I found a really weird thing about google places. I'm working on a google places listing optimization for a locksmith company in Houston, TX. When I was searching google maps for "locksmith houston" only one listing came up. However, when searching for "locksmith near houston" 880 results came up. This changes from time to time, but most of the time this one competitor is the only listing that shows up which is really really weird. Anybody has an idea what this competitor did to get rid of the other 879 results and show up alone on google maps??

Industry Benchmarks for Google Analytics
Hey Mozites! I was wondering if anyone has come across any good resources for industry benchmarks relating to google analytics? (Social stats would be great as well, but Google Analytics is my main concern) Specifically, I have a client that is a bank and I would love to be able to compare their stats (traffic, unique visitors, bounce rate, time on site, conversion rates...) to other regional banks. Any ideas? Thanks for reading and for your help!

Is it possible to know if visitor arrived at the web page via organic search and if so, show some content?
Hello, Is it possible to know if visitors are arriving at a web page via organic search? Background: We have a section of job description pages to explain typical tasks. These have very high bounce rate (some 100%), and I think people are confusing them with actual jobs. For example "stage designer". Many of those keyword we have very high rankings. I am thinking of having a small notice at the top of those page to say something like "if you are stage designer job, check out our job section". Thanks

Google Query Contamination.... Are you seeing this??
I have been searching on Google.com with FireFox this morning. I searched for a state name.... like "georgia". Then I search for a product... like "guitars". For the Guitars query the first page of the SERPs include some music stores in georgia. So, Google is contaminating your search results with information from your most recent query. Are you seeing this too? Has Google been doing this for a long time? Or, I am going crazy?

Can we rank as a related search query on a competitor's brand keyword?
One of my clients wanted to know whether it's possible for him to rank as one of the related pages on Google for a brand name of a competitor. I honestly don't know whether it's possible so any ideas whether it's possible and if so, ideas on what can be done is greatly welcome. Thank you in advance. 🙂
