How many characters will Google read in a header space on a page?
-
We heard that Google will read about 2,000 characters in a page header. We are using DoubleClick and need to insert more than 2,000 characters in each page header. Any insight?! Thanks!

Thank you for the help. I thought it sounded a bit odd!

Strange even I haven't heard anything like that! I have heard that there is certain limit to characters of Titles and metas that Google can show in SERP but not about headers! Headers is actually part of the site copy and google crawls the whole site copy anyway.

I have NEVER heard anything about that. I would have remembered.
I just copied and pasted everything between from my site and came up with 8000+ characters. I RANK WORLDWIDE!
Ignore whatever you heard my friend. Hope that helps.

What's the best way to go about making Duplicate Content Pages on my domain for affiliates?
Hello, I would like to make a bunch of duplicate pages of my site's Home Page, that way affiliates of mine can have a page of their own with links specialized to themselves littered throughout the page. What's the best practice going about this without jeopardizing domain authority from tons of duplicate content signals firing off?

Google Hotel Finder
Hi, I have a client that wants to get started with Google Hotel Finder, can anyone offer any resources to help me get them started? I've reviewed the documents Google has published regarding hotel finder, but it doesn't really breakdown any information on how to get indexed, only that they're "pulling from a number of different data sources". Any and all insight you guys can offer would be great, thank you in advance!

Will giving a blogger an affiliate url to my site reduce her links' seo value to me?
If a blogger were to write a post about one of my products and link to my product page, would giving her an affiliate url to link to rather than the normal link spoil the seo value of the link? So instead of mysite.com/product-one it would be mysite.com/affiliate/blogger/product-one Google would think... this is a transaction not a vote of confidence?

How accurate is google analytics?
I have a new site that has just entered the SERPS so I'm tracking stats pretty carefully using google analytics. Yesterday according to my affiliate stats I had 10 unique visits with 2 sign ups for one of my products but google analytics only shows a total of 5 visitors yesterday on my site? ( A 20% conversion rate 2 out of 5 also seems ridiculously high). I'm guessing there were also a number of users that visited my site but didn't click through one of the affiliate links and just browsed the site so the visitor number could be higher? I'm not sure where this huge discrepancy comes from?

Affilate links - Google Panda 2.1
With the recent update from Google Panda would links from affiliate Coupon Sites now have an negative impact in Organic Rankings or site value? A reason for this question is because many Coupon Sites usually have poor content and a poor quality score. Thanks

My new site experienced a sudden drop in Google rankings
We launched a new affiliate site at the beginning of April this year dealing in reviews, vouchers and price comparison for a niche product. We had a pretty good start, with some of our target keywords ranking #8 #10 #7 but this week they have suddenly dropped off dramatically - like 36 or 42 places. We haven't made any changes to the site apart from publishing new content pieces, such as news posts and reviews - does anyone know why this would suddenly happen? Thanks
