What about this (google crawl)?
-
Recently we did a serious effort on SEO with SEO Yoast (Wordpress). And after a few months of tweaking old articles we get this impact on crawl search.. Is this graph normal?
-
Exactly this! Thanks Dan for jumping in and finishing this thread! (My hero!)

Yes that is correct. And yes you already have "noindex subpages of archives".
Yes I have a very extensive article on Moz here: http://moz.com/blog/setup-wordpress-for-seo-success
I did I Mozinar here about wordpress: http://moz.com/webinars/hands-on-answers-to-the-most-asked-wordpress-qestions
I have a comparison of Yoast vs All In One here: http://www.evolvingseo.com/2014/02/14/all-in-one-vs-yoast-seo-test-drive/
-
So, no index tags, categories & notatie?
And about 'noindex subpages of archives' - do we haven't already checked that box (look at the second print screen)? You have some other tips for Yoast?
-
You should definitely "noindex tags (that is what Matt was talking about to some extent).
I would also "noindex subpages of archives" in your Yoast settings as well.
Webmaster Tools and Google might not always react right away to certain site changes, which might be why you are seeing a delay.

Hello
I don't get it. I had SEO Yoast for months and no problems till 2 weeks ago (graph). I even didn't change some settings. I just add structured data in webmaster tools.
This are my settings in SEO Yoast.
-
You activated duplicate content. It looks like two ways:
http://www.noodweer.be/tag/wolken/
and
http://www.noodweer.be/category/website/
So you have tags and categories unblocked. I am going to guess you recently installed Yoast Wordpress SEO? It's not setup correctly so Google is crawling a LOT more content than they used to. Go through all settings, make sure you've got it setup properly and should go back to normal.

The website we talk about it: http://www.noodweer.be. And what do u mean with unblock duplicated content? We have activated such things or we had duplicated content before and now not anymore?
-
Looks like you unblocked some duplicate content maybe? Tags, date archives, categories? That would be my best guess. Without knowing the domain, it's hard to even look further than that, though.

How To Stop Google's "Fetch & Render" From Showing Up In Google Analytics
Hi all, Within Google's "Fetch & Render" (found in Google Search Console) is the ability to index certain pages from my website on-demand. Unfortunately, every time I ask Google to index a page, it registers as a bounce in Google Analytics. Also, if it means anything, my website (www.knowtro.com) is a single-page application, functioning similarly to Google. If you guys know of any solution to this problem, please help! I originally thought that Google would know to block its own Fetch & Render crawler from Google Analytics but that doesn't seem to be the case. Thanks, Austin

Pandora in Google Analytics
Hi Mozers, in Google Analytics our ads are registering a 10 second page duration and a 90% bounce rate, which is pretty atrocious. My questions are: Organic page duration is 3:15 minutes, and Social + Referral are similar. Yet Pandora is bringing the average time on site way down, to less than a minute. Will those paid ad metrics be factored to the User Behavior and therefore negative affect our overall rankings? In other words does Google now see our page duration as less than a minute? The Pandora rep says that Google Analytics and Pandora have "systemic issues" such that GA is very inaccurate with Pandora metrics. I find that difficult to believe. Any insights here? Thanks all! Jane

301 redirect visible on Google.
Hello, This is a strange one for me. We have 301 redirected our .com domain to the .co.uk domain. The strange thing is that if you gogole the .com domain (theloanengine.com) there is a result with the website description. If you click on the result you are redirected tot he website homepage. One other thing: I've discovered this 301 issue because Google Analytics started to show me a few days ago referrals from the .com domain. I don't know if these things are connected. Cornel

Advanced segements Google Analytics
Hi guys, I was to hasty last time marking the given question as answered. So i would like to ask another question on the subject. My original question was how to get a pdf report of 10 specific keywords with information about visits,pages per view. avg, visit time, new visitors and bounce rate. The answer was to create an advanced segment with "or operators" and adding all keywords on an exact match basis. I did this but it still gives me a list of more then 500 keywords in traffic sources organic view. Next to that i get different visitor numbers for some keywords where it says 40 at the normal segments (all visits) but gives me 0 when i turn on the advanced segment. I've been clicking and changing things for a long time until i got almost dizzy. Could someone plz help?
