Did I get penalized by Panda 3.9?
-
Hey guys,
So I have been on Google analytics and I looked at Traffic Sources > Search Engine Optimization > Queries & Landing Pages
From Tuesday until today I am showing 0 impressions for top queries when we usually average around 9000 impressions daily, I am seeing the same for landing pages. When I go into google webmaster tools I am seeing 0 data from tues-today. It doesnt say that I have 0 impressions, it is just not showing me those dates, almost like I am unable to see data that is so close to today.
The weird thing is that traffic to the sites in question is higher or normal to what it has been the whole month which makes me think that this is some sort of glitch. If we are being penalized and indeed have 0 impressions via search then our traffic would drop tremendously.
When I sign out of google and search for our search terms, I am seeing our site pop up right where they should be. When I use the Page Rank tool I am also seeing us in the SERPS where we should be. Wed morning when I came into work after SEOmoz had an updated keyword rank report, I saw some great gains for a lot of our keywords. I am super confused and hoping that I was not part of the 1% affected. There is no reason for our sites to be penalized, they have great authority, healthy traffic, and go by SEO best practices. We have great content!
Has anybody ever ran into this problem? Could use some guidance!

Nice work!

After digging around, this is normal. Google Webmasters has a 2 day delay for SEO information. I am assuming that everyone who goes into webmaster tools and goes to the traffic tab > search queries is only able to see information up to July 23rd. Google analytics gets their SEO data through webmaster tools, this is why I am seeing 0 impressions. So tomorrow the impressions should go from 0 to the correct amount for the 24th of July. PHEW

When something like this happens, I always check to be sure my analytics code is installed correctly - sometimes I recopy/paste it into the footer file.
Then I email a couple of trusted friends in other parts of the USA and ask them to take a look.

Do PPC clicks get attributed to "Organic" in Analytics?
Hey guys, This month I started running a PPC campaign for a client and have noticed that none of the click data is showing up in Analytics under "Paid". However, under the "Organic" section, I've noticed that we're gaining a lot more clicks through to the site for some of our targeted keywords than we have been in previous months. Is this just a coincidence or is the PPC click data being used under the Organic section of Analytics?
