Google Analtyics Changes?
-
Did anyone else's google analtyics numbers jump up this month?
Our unique visitors increased some, but our pageviews tripled and our bounces dropped significantly.
We have been working to optimize the sites and did have a huge drop in errors in our campaign reports.

Hi Keri,
Thank you for asking, I missed this. We asked someone to take a look, and there were two instances of the G/A code installed.
Thanks again for checking back.

Hi Steve,
How are your GA numbers doing now? Did you figure out what was causing the jump? Have they stayed high, or come back down? If you give us an update, we can try to help troubleshoot this for you a bit more.
-
what's the reasons about it? Our pageviews dropped but i don't catch the key!
-
Yeah, I also didnt saw any huge diferences in Google Analytics data.
Seems that you work on the site is working on!
-
We got bounce rates down to 0% on a client's site. (Pages/Visit increased dramatically too)
Super Excited!!!!
Until we discovered that we had two copies of Analytics code in there.
-
I had a big jump in page views and a big decrease in bounce rate a few months back. Happened right at the same time that I accidentally installed two copies of Google Analytics on my site.
It's one thing to check for, just in case. -
Hi Steve,
I haven't seen anything that dramatic in our GA accounts.
Sounds like your just doing well!
This is probably unrelated but we did notice a higher level of direct traffic than expected at the beginning of the year for many of our accounts.

Page missing from Google index
Hi all, One of our most important pages seems to be missing from the Google index. A number of our collections pages (e.g., http://perfectlinens.com/collections/size-king) are thin, so we've included a canonical reference in all of them to the main collection page (http://perfectlinens.com/collections/all). However, I don't see the main collection page in any Google search result. When I search using "info:http://perfectlinens.com/collections/all", the page displayed is our homepage. Why is this happening? The main collection page has a rel=canonical reference to itself (auto-generated by Shopify so I can't control that). Thanks! WUKeBVB

Site removed from Google Index
Hi mozers, Two months ago we published http://aquacion.com We registered it in the Google Webmaster tools and after a few day the website was in the index no problem. But now the webmaster tools tell us the URLs were manually removed. I've look everywhere in the webmaster tools in search for more clues but haven't found anything that would help me. I sent the acces to the client, who might have been stupid enough to remove his own site from the Google index, but now, even though I delete and add the sitemap again, the website won't show in Google SERPs. What's weird is that Google Webmaster Tools tells us all the page are indexed. I'm totally clueless here... Ps. : Added screenshots from Google Webmaster Tools. Update Turns out it was my mistake after all. When my client developped his website a few months ago, he published it, and I removed the website from the Google Index. When the website was finished I submited the sitemap, thinking it would void the removal request, but it don't. How to solve In webmaster tools, in the [Google Index => Remove URLs] page, you can reinclude pages there. tGib0

Rankings for Google Play Pages
Hey all, I'm relatively new here and certainly new to posting in the forums and interacting with the community but I hope to be much more active in the coming months. I have what might be a silly question regarding search results for a Google Play store-specific query. The company in question has their main North American app that's been out for a month and a half and then an International version that was released just a few days ago. If you run a Google search (NOT a search witin Google Play) for 'Google Play Company Name' the more recent (but less used and ultimately less important, at least for the time being) International app is higher in the SERP than the more used and reviewed North American app. I'm guessing that this is something that will correct itself over the next week as the North American app establishes itself as the more important of the two, but I figured it couldn't hurt to ask just in case there's something they can do to affect the results a little quicker. Any advice, input or just a verification of my guess would be greatly appreciated!

Google Sitelinks
We have an e-commerce site that has about 50k pageviews of our main shop page every week. However in our Google sitelinks we have one for 'Shop'. However, for the Shop sitelink Google is linking to a random URL that we have never & would never use as a URL and not to our Shop page. I can't work out why Google would pick up this random url as we have so many links etc to the main shop page. Why are they not linking to the right page? I have blocked that url in webmaster tools and done a redirect but I want to understand why it happened in the first place. It included 'swedish+fish' so it seems weirdly spammy?! Any thoughts would be really helpful (and I am only mildly techy). Many thanks
