Does prevent links from being included in Google Webmaster linking sites report?
-
My client has clean links in edit from nytimes.com. The links do not have nofollow tags.
Google Webmaster stopped including links from nytimes.com in the external linking domains report and we don't know why since the URL is still live.
The nytimes.com URL includes this tag in the source code:
Are links on pages with NOARCHIVE still counted in Google Webmaster linking domains reports?

Dear Eben,
When you use "noarchive" you don't permite that google safes you websites cache, but there is nothing to do with links.

Hi,
The tag you reference only means there will be no cached copy of the site within SERPS
http://www.google.com/intl/en/help/features_list.html#cached
I can only assume their reason for this, is with a site that is about current events, a cached copy might muddle and confuse, and they do not want anyone to see an older version of the site, even if it is only a few days (as I am sure NYtimes.com is crawled quite often)

Google Analytics SEO Queries Not Showing
Hi All, This might be a silly question, but for all the properties I monitor in Google Analytics, I'm now showing no data for SEO Queries under Acquisition for the past 6 days. Normally I would expect a few day delay in queries, but nothing for 6 days is somewhat peculiar especially as it was functioning fine prior to November 12th. Does anyone have insight into what might be going on? Thanks! URaNMa3

Conflicting data in Google Analytics
Hi Guys I've been looking at the data for a client in Google analytics and I was wondering if anyone knows why some of the data doesn't tally up. In my case its the following: Under Aquisition

No of Sessions for a Keyword shown in Organic Search tab (compared to)
No of Clicks for a Query in the Search Engine Optimisation tab For example, for a brand term, Google are showing 17 Sessions in Organic Search.
For the same term Google are showing 90 Clicks in the Queries section of Search Engine Optimisation OK, we know that Google are a little cloak and dagger regarding keyword data but surely Sessions and Clicks for the same keyword should be identical unless I'm missing something.0 -

Redirects to external sites
Hi there, I have listings that all link to external sites. In order to track how many times each link was clicked I coded a redirect script that simply redirects to the respective url. www.mysite.com/go/123/ - redirects to another site www.mysite.com/go/541/ - redirects to a different site Is there anything I should or should not do from seo stand point such as blocking the /go directory in robots or adding a no-follow tag to links? I'd appreciate your advice. Thanks

Alternative to Google Analytics
Hi from sunny Manchester! I'm looking for recommendations for alternatives to GA. I'm specifically looking for something which won't sample data and will give us accurate numbers. Our site is pretty big, it receives 6 million+ visits and 50 million+ pageviews/year. Any recommendations would be greatly received together with any good/bad experiences you've had with them. Thanks in advance, Brendan.
