Hi Mozzers,

I was just looking at the dwell time tip from Mike Arnesen and have some difficulties understanding it. This is the formula:

(Words on page)/15*1000

Why is he using 15? Where does the number stand for? What is it that I'm actually calculating now?

Thanks!
Sander

Hi Sander,

Isn't that the amount of words people read per second? So what you're basically calculating is how much content do people read in the end?

Martijn.

Rogerbot directives in robots.txt

rogerbot reporting

I feel like I spend a lot of time setting false positives in my reports to ignore. Can I prevent Rogerbot from crawling pages I don't care about with robots.txt directives? For example., I have some page types with meta noindex and it reports these to me. Theoretically, I can block Rogerbot from these with a robots,txt directive and not have to deal with false positives.

Is there a tool to check the SEO performance of articles from different websites?

article reporting article performance seo ranking keyword ranking

Is there a tool to check the SEO performance of articles(like 100+ articles) from different websites in one place? I am looking for a tool where I can put several URLs of the articles we have published in bulk for many of our clients, and it can show me how those articles are performing. This way, we can check the performance of these articles at any time; there is no need to add URLs every time.

Tracking time spent on a section of a website in Google Analytics

Hi, I've been asked by a client to track time spent or number of pages visited on a specific section of their website using Google Analytics but can't see how to do this. For example, they have a "golf" section within their site and want to measure how many people either visit 5 page or more within the golf section or spend at least 6 minutes browsing the various golf section pages. Can anyone advise how if this can be done, and if so, how I go about it. Thanks

Does analytics track an order two times by refresh on the confirmation-page?

Hi there,
I have a quick question. Does Google analytics track an order two times, if the user buys a product, see the confirmation page and then click refresh/click or back and forward again?
The order/tracking data must be the same, but i guess the tracking code runs for every refresh and therefore tracks the order two times in Analytics or does analytics know that it is the same order? Someone that can clearify this?Thanks! Regards

Time on page: What happens when I open many tabs?

Hello everyone, I was studying Analytics, and checked that the time on page is calculated by the diference of the time you entered the page and when you click to go to another one. But how the time is calculated when I open several links using new tabs in different moments? Does Google counts the last tab? Just a guess... Thanks!
