How to follow up Google search in a Joomla website
-
Hello !
I'm facing a stupid issue but cannot solve it.
Google Analytics can track the seach into a website.
When I try to activate it I need to add some more parameters that I do not know.

Hello
So I made the following setup http://awesomescreenshot.com/0561bnia48
But I do not exactly understand what do you mean by "start big and then cut"
The ideal for me will just be to know what people are looking into my website.
Tks a lot for your help !

Hi,
In this case it would be q = searchword ?
** Yes, this should be your query parameter.
As far as options - it's a case by case on what you want to track - I would start "big" and then cut and edit things based on the feedback you will receive. It's hard to set the search tracking from the start and get it right (by right I mean exactly what you want to know) - you need some time for "trial and error" to spot the perfect setup - this is only to save time and to make sure you don't miss what's important.
Cheers.

Hi,
You just need to perform a search with your joomla search box and look at the url and find the parameter. eg: q=...
Then add the parameter (eg: "q") in the google search track setup.
That should be all.
Hope it helps.

Noindex follow on checkout pages in 2017
Hi,
Algorithm Updates | | DGAU
My website really consists of 2 separate sites. Product site:
• Website with product pages.
• These product pages have SEO optimised content. Booking engine & checkout site:
• When a user clicks 'Book' on one of the product pages on the aforementioned product site they go to a seaparate website which is a booking engine and checkout.
• These pages are not quality, SEO optimised content, they only perform the function of booking and buying. Q1) Should I set 'noindex follow' via the meta tag on all pages of the 'Booking engine and checkout' site?
ie. Q2) should i add anything to the book buttons on the product site? I am hoping all this will somehow help concentrate the SEO juice onto the Product Site's pages by declaring the Booking engine and Checkout sites pages to be 'not of any content value'.0 -

Google loves me. Yahoo and Bing not so much...
My site is ranked very high for my keywords on Google and Google Maps. But we come in 4 or 6 places lower on the other two search engines. Does any one have any pointers on the different types of algorithms they use? Many thanks in advance:)

Best length for a video on a website
Most of us deal with UI/UX questions and SEO questions from clients on a daily basis. I was discussing video length with a client recently and I realized that he was in his video. This made me think about the thrill of seeing yourself in video might cause someone to make their video longer at the expense of UX. So, I thought I would put it to the Moz community. If a company is doing a "typical" home page "Explainer" video that tells about a company. This can be in the B2B or B2C sectors. I want to withhold my opinion at this point for the discussion.

Website Recovery
We have a client who is experiencing much in the way off duplicated content and broken, spammed inbound links. While we are removing and correcting everything using google webmaster, I'm hearing stories of websites not being able to recover from algorithms/penalties applied because of this. My client had around 250 inbound links to their website and over the space of 3 weeks mounted over 8,000 unethical links. Any information surrounding this issue would be much apprecited. Thanks Gary

Why does Google Alerts call my website a blog?
Our company started a WordPress blog about 14 years ago. It has since added a third-party forum, a user-submitted photo gallery, and a huge database of searchable products. We also have almost 4000 posts. With all that said, Google Alerts often lists our content under blogs rather than websites. Sometimes it shows up in both? Does anyone know what criteria Google uses for determining the type of content, and how we can signal to them that we are a website?

Google Cached Pages
I made some on-site changes to a site last week, in particular their page titles. This was all done on the same day at the same time. Now, one of those pages, got re-indexed on August 8th and has my updated changes, which also helped with my ranking. The other page I made changes to still shows a cached version from July 27th, which is before I made the changes. Why wouldn't google have an updated page from August 8th for both pages, not just one?
