Google anomaly
-
Hi,
As per Google's Keyword Tool , the exact search volume for a particular keyword is 22000.
As per Google's Webmaster Tool , my SER for the same keyword is 5.8
BUT , I see only 500 impressions for this keyword in webmaster !
Can someone help decipher this behavior ?
-
Thanks Mate

It is because in AdWords KT Google estimates potential on global and local market.
In webmaster tools, when localization is not specified google collect data in a specific way, can say it's a measure of a propagation of particular site (written in e.g. english) in many local markets which are use that language.
Result is neither global nor local. Result is specific for particular site, language and many other factors responsible for spreading a content in many places. Please that it is correct for assumption that localization of a site is not set.
In other cases local results from GKT and local from GWT are comparable.
Hope my explanation clarified your doubts
-
Sry about the confusion ... I mean certain  keywords in GKT have  search volume around 22000 and GWT impressions around 15000. Why does not these keywords show "local" impression only in GWT
-
Sorry I don't understand, could you please ask clearly, what is search volume? in GWT?
-
But what about other keywords which GWT search volume around 22000 and GWT impressions around 15000
How do these keywords fit in entire scheme of things ?

If you didn't choose a geographic location google use different signals:
"If no information is entered in Webmaster Tools, we'll rely largely on the site's country domain (.ca, .de, etc.). If an international domain (.com, .org, .eu, etc) has been used, we'll rely on several signals, including IP address, location information on the page, links to the page, and any relevant information from Google Places."
more: GWT help
so your traffic can be for example from many english speaking countries
-
It depends - probably for google.com did you localize a site?
-
Correct ..
22000 is for Global in Google KWT
In google WT i have not set  Geographic target
So which country say USA , Canada is the search impression for ?
-
Hello,
did you check what kind of searches is result from GKT? Global or local. In Google WT only the local searches are presented - just check it first

Was Google Analytics and Adsense Down Today?
For the last 4 hours of so we were registering zero users and Adsense reporting has not changed. We checked the site, and there were no problems. It seems for some reason there was no reporting. Just now it came back up and we are showing live traffic. Trying to figure out if this was a problem specific to us or if it is on Google's end. Thanks,

Google Analytics Goals - Button Tracking
Does anyone know if there is a really easy way to track a button in Google Analytics yourself? It seems that most button click goal setups involve some use of tricky code and I'm wondering if there is a much easier way to do this that will allow us to simply setup and track certain button clicks as goal conversions in Analytics. Your help here is much appreciated!

Is Google analytics not working properly anymore?
Hi mozzers, We launched a website 2 months ago and when monitoring Organic data on GA we had an average of 23% bounce rate like a month ago but the last 2 weeks I noticed that bounce rate=0%. This is very weird especially that we haven't modified the existing pages and that multiple keywords show an average site duration of 0 seconds. Any thoughts about this discrepancy? Do you think that there is an issue with the GATC implemented? Thanks

Google Analytics data - Canonical problems?
Hi everyone, We're trying to determine why Google Analytics is showing multiple versions of the same page as having "landing page traffic". For instance, these 2 pages are both shown as landing pages in GA: www.oursite.com/product_page
Reporting & Analytics | | darkgreenguy
www.oursite.com/product_page/ This occurs many times in Google analytics. Â Also, there are instances such as these: www.oursite.com/index.php/custom_product_url www.oursite.com/custom_product_url I can't find anything in Google Webmaster tools that would indicate a problem. Â However, this GA data is making me think there are duplicate content issues on the site... Thanks in advance for any help...0 -
500 errors and impact on google rankings
Since the launch of our newly designed website about 6 months ago, we are experiencing a high number of 500 server errors (>2000). Attempts to resolve these errors have been unsuccessful to date. We have just started to notice a consistent and sustained drop in rankings despite our hard sought efforts to correct. Two questions... can very high levels of 500 errors adversely effect our google rankings? And, if this is the case, what type of specialist (what are they called) has expertise to investigate and fix this issue. I should also mention that the sitemap also goes down on a regular basis, which some have stated is due to the size of the site (>500 pages). Don't know if they're part of the same problem? Thanks.
