I'm puzzled
-
Last week we decided to run a facebook campaign with a small offer, any way cut a long story short.
www.specialistsonlinepaints.co.uk was dropped by google when the penguin update took place in 2012, however it has been re included by google but nothing really returned in terms of search results.
so our facebook campaign reached over 3k of people according to the stats but no one purchased anything or even clicked to visit the website. am I missing something in terms on onpage, black listing etc?
Im at a loss at the minute.

Yes the site would be if i gave the correct url its www.specialistpaintsonline.co.uk
even over a year not much has changed in terms of the serps, its quite upsetting as were running at a loss since then.
-
I totally agree with Christ, seems like the 3k where just not the right audience that you are after
Btw is the site up ? www.specialistsonlinepaints.co.uk

Teamac,
Your facebook results and your google results wouldn't be related so you're not missing anything there. You do have to delve more deeply into your stats for both platforms to get a better sense of what is happening, though. It seems obvious you were having a conversion problem with you FB ad but you can use the data from that previous campaign to make your next one more successful. Neil Patel's folks have put together some good info on that:
- http://blog.kissmetrics.com/deep-dive-facebook-advertising/
- http://blog.crazyegg.com/2012/01/02/how-to-convert-with-facebook-ads/
Your google issues may go much deeper than conversion rate and appear unresolved. For that, you're really going to need to dig into your analytics to understand what's happening and how to resolve it. While you're there looking at your stats, compare them against these examples--it may give you a starting direction for further reading.

Single Page on my client's website is not crawling and indexing new changes. What could be the possible reason?
I made several changes on client's website on different pages, changed titles, add content on few pages, moved blog from subdomain to sub directory. Everything is crawled but there is one page on the website (not part of the blog) that isn't getting crawled in Google and picking up changes. The last crawl of the website is 2 days back whereas that page was last crawled on 30th sep. I just wanted to know the possible reasons and has anyone encountered this before?

On page link question, creating an additional 'county' layer between states and zips/cities
Question We have a large site that has a page for all 50 states. Each of these pages has unique content, but following the content has a MASSIVE amount of links for each zip AND city in that state. I am also in the process of creating unique content for each of these cities and zips HOWEVER, I was wondering would it make sense to create an additional 'county' layer between the states and the zips/cities. Would the additional 'depth' of the links bring down the overall rank of the long tail city and zip pages, or would the fact that the counties would knock the on page link count down from a thousand or so, to a management 50-100 substantially improve the overall quality and ranking of the site? To illustrate, currently I have State -> city and zip pages (1200+ links on each state page) what i want to do is do state -> county (5-300 counties on each state page) -> city + zip (maybe 50-100 links on each county page). What do you guys think? Am I incurring some kind of automatic penalty for having 1000+ links on a page?

Sold Products appear as duplicate pages 'Page Not Found' ???
Hi there, I'm down to just 6 duplicate page warnings but I'm not sure how to deal with this one: Information Page Not Found! http://www.vintageheirloom.com/index.php?route=information/information&information_id=6 My Ecommerce shopping site products are unique, 1 of a kind. So once one product has sold and been delivered we take the product off our website, hence the Information Page Not Found! As I understand when search engines re-index these warnings will drop off but new sold products would replace them. So redirecting seems like hard work and never ending. Is it ok to ignore these warnings? Thanks Mozzers..
