Has anyone had any success when requesting help from Bing?
-
For the past month I have been struggling to resolve a problem with an increasing number of 404 crawl errors in Bing. (Only Bing reports these error, not Google and not Moz.) I did receive email from them requesting a server log (which I have now sent 5 times.) Their response, please send a server log. The last email I sent (6/21) explained there should be server log attached, if they did not get it, not why not? Do they have a restriction on file size? What other compression types do they accept? It has been very frustrating to deal with them and all of their responses are between 9 PM and midnight. Almost a week later, no reply.
Any suggestions how I can get out of this seemingly endless loop and get a helpful response during normal business hours (PDT)?

When I've tweeted with Duane Forrester in the past about communicating with Bing, he's said to use this URL https://support.discoverbing.com/eform.aspx?productKey=bingwebmaster&ct=eformts&scrx=1. I'm guessing you used that, but putting it out there just in case you had tried a different method.
Also, hello to the (almost) Central Coast! I grew up in Santa Maria, and have fond memories of the Mid-State Fair. Headed back that way next month for my high school reunion and to fill up on strawberries and tri-tip.

Can Anyone help me with Google search console soft 404 error?
Hello everyone, I just build one site on WordPress and submitted it to the Google search console along with the sitemap. Some URLs got indexed but one of my URL is showing error in Search console. My post https://hotpass.site/create-subdomain-godaddy/ is showing soft error 404 webpage not available in Google search console. I have rechecked the site and seo settings. Nothing is there. I have even checked it with LIVE URL test. But still Search console is not accepting this URL. Can anyone help me with this? Help will be appriciated.

Bing Referral Traffic
We do not get referral traffic from Google, only organic. Why do we get both organic and referral traffic from Bing?

Curious, anyone ever had over half of their indexed links drop on an e-commerce site?
In a year went from around 300k indexed pages to around >100k according to GWT. Could this be duplicate content issue, lost links, spam, aged links or all of the above? either way an audit is in order. Thanks! Chris

Anyone using Webtrekk?
For months now we have experienced major frustrations with Google's way of running and measuring traffic and providing analytical information. Although our measuring and segmentation requirements are not unique (I would heavily digress if I describe it) we established with Google Analytics engineers in engagements for more than 2 months, that GA is incapable measuring the traffic we require. The few products I came across which are capable of providing proper segmentation based on product categories are Kissmetrics (unfortunately not a all-in-one analytics tool), Webtrends (horribly expensive) and I just recently stumbled across Webtrekk (http://www.webtrekk.com/en/products/q3.html). I was wondering if anyone is using or has used Webtrekk and would be able to share some experience (and how it compares to GA and Webtrends).

Has anyone attended or hired anyone from Full Sail University? Or schools offering Internet Marketing or SEO
We are actively looking for a couple of positions. A qualified SEM (for PPC, etc) pro that has experience with Google but also others including BING and Yahoo. And a good SEO person who gets it is about delivering a result and not blowing sunshine up someone's skirt or pant leg.

That said I got a resume the other day from a guy and he stated he had a Master's Certificate in Internet Marketing from Full Sail University. I looked them up and they offer a Bachelors Degree and a Masters Degree in Internet Marketing. They also offer a certificate in Internet marketing they call a Master's certificate. So, I set a time for him to call me as I was mildly skeptical.
When I started asking about the certificate (His LinkedIn page had Masters Degree in IM) he said he had taken the certificate and I did not pursue the LinkedIn. I asked how long he was in school for the certificate and he stated 6 months (curriculum is 4 months and is fairly t h i n.
I asked what he had done and he had completed an Internship with a Texas company and helped a construction firm move to page one. When I asked how he started telling me about inserting keywords in the meta tag field in the CMS..... He did not know what a title tag was, knew nothing of content, H1, H2, Local Optimization and then wanted to tell me how when you put their Domain name in google they are number two on page One. So you get it, I believe. I am just really frustrated with the whole "certification" etc. thing and believe we do need it. Market Motive is as close to good as I can see, but I would love to hear from you. (Note on MM- I do not like the if you pay monthly you get Provider or whatever but it you shell out $3500 you are a Master. Just doesn't feel right to me. And, I did speak with someone a while back with a masters from them and again, I scratched my head). Would just like to hear of your experience and if anyone has hired from these schools with success.0 -
