My Organic traffic always going down on Thursday and Friday
-
I am the Webmaster of this site
Do not tell me some key files blocked by robots.It happened yesterday and applied the fix.
My traffic always goes down on Thursday/Friday but it starts getting better from Saturday.Is it some EMD update or what the hell is it coming back and hitting me every week on these two days.
Impressions with clicks also goes down.

What is this conspiracy theory EGOL?

Is it some EMD update or what the hell is it coming back and hitting me every week on these two days.
I think conspiracy theory is hitting you.

Yeps, that's exactly what we saw in our graphs too. I found a screenshot of this within one of my old documents which show exactly this. Take a look at this screenshot.

Martin and Itrogers I totally agree with your point but my question is why the Impressions and clicks got down on that very day.Do you want to say that on the whole people relating to my industry do not Google that much on these two days?
-
This happend to one of the sites I worked on before, we saw a decline in visits through out the week which was a pretty normal phenomenon. It was just the weekly routine for people looking for our products back then. At the end of the week they wouldn't search for any product related information and starting on Sunday evening throughout Tuesday they started searching for these products.
Based on the explanation you gave me I wouldn't say this is related to something like a weekly EMD update or any other update.
-
This can be the case but why the Impressions get down also with clicks.It only happened almost like every week for sure on Friday.
-
I am familiar with your industry but is there some connection between what people you market toward actually do on Thursday and Friday? I notice that my weekend traffic is the worst on Sat and Sunday, because my target market is enjoying their weekend and not working, surfing the web. Since it is consistent I am thinking that it is something related to your market.

Massive unexplained organic traffic drop; disappeared from Google
Hi there,
Search Behavior | | katelynroberts
Our site has experienced a huge organic traffic drop, specifically from Google. The drop occurred on Feb 19 and I've got no clue why it happened. We have not made any significant changes to the website and it doesn't look like there was an algorithm update last week. We don't have any Google penalties or indexing issues noted, and the drop isn't specific to any particular segment/region/keyword. What am I missing? Any advice or insight is super duper appreciated. Our site is a Wordpress/WooCommerice e-commerce site with a blog and long-standing #1 ranks for keywords related to our main product offering. Screen Shot 2024-02-26 at 3.12.25 PM.png

GA traffic locations must be wrong? Most hits from a state we don't do business in!
I launched a website earlier this year. Very limited traffic, 200-300 a month. It is an info site for a specialized business. However, when I review my GA traffic reports, 20% of our traffic comes from one city in Virginia. (although the company does business in many states, it does not in Virginia) or anything close. The bounce rate is 97%! Could it be a web scraper or some kind of redirect?

Google Places rankings go away, but organic rankings stay the same / get better?
Hello, I hope you all can help me out here with the information I could provide. Anyways, the past number of months I have had 1 of our clients rank extremely high organically and on Google places. For example: My client is a law firm so if you search “CLIENTS-TOWN Attorney” they would come up organically on the first page and if you were in that town and search “CLIENTS-TOWN Attorney” or even just “Attorney” they would also come up in the Google Places list. Now for some reason starting a week ago I noticed they have completely disappeared from Google Places. No changes have been done to their site and everything is the same as it was. Their organic searches are the same if not better than before. Do you guys have any clue as to why this happened and how I could possibly turn this around? Thanks for your help in advance!

Can Googlebot go through Paywalls?
So my website has a paywall that allows users that are IP Authenticated to look at content where unauthorized users don't have access to but this is hurting my SEO (since googlebot doesn't go past the paywall either). Is there any way that I could ask google to go through and crawl the entire site?
