If your analytics show you something like this, what is your next strategy?
-
What is your thought if your site's analytic is showing you something like that graph? is it "DAMN!!! it is not supposed to be like that, the X are supposed to be greater then Y by at least two or three" And what is your next strategy? is it "okay, i need to put on backburner for my link building kungfu now immidiately...." Please share your thought.. because i dont know if i should be happy or not looking at something like this showing up on my analytics... Please do share your opinion GoodBad.png
-
I feel that your graphs look OK. The trend is nice, there is traffic and its coming from a variety of sources. I would gleen a bit more from the stats if I knew a bit more about your business and a relative timeline for which the data has been compiled. I would not worry..........
-
Seriously. That is pretty amazing. It looks like you have really captured your audience.
-
The downside to a high search percentage is that if the algo changes and the change isn't in your favor, you don't have anything to fall back on. The traffic sources for my model warship combat site are similar to yours Yumi -- about an equal mix of direct, referral, and search engines. It's a comfort to know that if something drastic changed with the search engines, I still have my referral and direct traffic.
-
Thanks! But I personally wouldn't pay too much attention to where the percentages lay. I would mostly be concerned about whether the numbers keep increasing in each category.
When I looked at your percentages, my first thought was, "Man! I wish I could get as much direct traffic as she does!" My thought was that if I am only getting 5% direct hits then my brand is not recognizable.
I just looked at my stats for direct visits over the last year and I can see that the general trend is upwards. So, whether it's 5% or 50%, as long as it is going up then I am happy.
-
WOW, that is one extremely SEO site you have there.... that is very nice , i wish that my site would have that kind of Search Percentage :((
still a lot to learn it seems... i am brb , i have to movie marathon the whole Pro Video for sure , there must be something that i am lacking as to why it caused my search : referral : direct = 1 : 1 : 1
PS : Thanks for the comment on the site, that is one of the way i used to get more traffic and back link (doing competition on thefwa.com , dopeawards.com , etc ) , and if i may say so those sources are currently my only high authority backlink source... this week i am going into article mode on some high authority site, such as the seomoz.org ( i am planning to post some extremely interesting article that shares some of the top secret of my own company to the public ), and posting a tutorial to activetuts.com .... if you have any other Great back link source, i am all ear xD
Thanks

I have a large site that gets most of its traffic from search - about 60%.
Articles and other static content on the site get about 90% of their traffic from search.
However, a blog on the site gets almost all of its traffic from daily RSS and email distribution by Feedburner along with a lot of direct traffic. There is also a lot of direct traffic to the homepage that clicks into the blog.
So, different parts of the site attract traffic from different audiences and I believe that both of them are successful.
-
I don't have answers for you, but I wanted to tell you how much I love the design of your site! Very cool.
My site's distribution is:
86% from search
8% from referring sites
5.5% from direct
But, every site is going to be different. Mine is mostly an information site and I have thousands of pages, so it makes sense that I am going to have more visits from search.
-
It depends on the site having the link and how deep the link is on the site. The more popular, the quicker the crawl rate and deep the crawl.
-
oh one more thing... the SEARCH Traffic?
i think i have explanation for it... like today why with the traffic spike? because i have just implemented my new learnt technique on creating a good adwords (which keyword all range around quality 7 ~ 10) ... and it paid off (although i paid a lot of money for it ~25$ / day) ... damn it means.. the traffic that comes from search engine is almost non existance...x_x
sigh... it is because i need to wait a lil bit more for the advantages of those backlinks to be useful? or what? (how long does google usually take a backlink into account? 2 weeks?) , because its just been 10 days since i seo-ed the hell out of this site
-
Bounce rate is really nice as is the time on site!!
-
Okay since everyone is asking for more data, here is the complete snapshot on my dashboard
please tell me what is bad from it, and what is good.. i need to improve my knowledge on this stuff
thanks a lot for your time
-
Because i am quite new with this, i dont know if i should be happy about those diversity source... I thought if my SEO was better, i could have easily gotten a lot higher Search Traffic (but it seems that my seo is lacking enough?)
I was wondering if there is any good guide how that traffic source be like? is it like Search : referrence : direct = 2 : 1 : 1? or is it 2 : 2 : 1?
The site in question is my company site http://ikt.co.id
EGOL, how about if we compare with the site you ussualy have? how is your percentage traffic source look like?
again i dont know if i should be happy about anything, because i am quite new... but if my hunch was right, those 1:1:1 on traffic source shows that my SEO is lacking?
-
I like the referrals and SE traffic, but I would ask what is the direct traffic? Seems to be quite of lot that have you memorized or bookmarked. If there is a good reason, such as this is a new site, then great. However, if this is a online retailer, my next step would be to look at those people who already know my URL and what are they doing, and is that what I want then to do, and if not why.
I might also look into the V dip to see what I did, or if this was just a Google hiccup spanning just a day or so in reporting.
I would also check the referrals to see what they are doing and if the referring link is not doing what I intended, then why. What were they looking for from the referring site that they did not find on this site? Was the bounce rate high or did they look over several pages and spend a good amount of time on the site.
There are a few other questions that could be extrapolated from this, but a broader look at what this graph was reporting on would be needed.
I hope that helps.

Really need more info! Good trending though!
-
At first glance it looks great! But really hard to say without knowing your history further. Overall you have a very balanced traffic set with a 1/3rd split between all your traffic sources. it looks like you are climbing so I would continue to monitor positive or negative effects of link building. Direct traffic at a 3rd of traffic is very impressive and could denote a good following and good branding.
But really this is hard to diagnose without further info. How long does your search traffic stay on the site? What is the bounce rate of your referral sites?
-
What concerns you about the graphs?
I see rising traffic which is good. I also see a site that is getting traffic from a diversity of sources. I like that.
I cant' give any more detailed comments because I don't know anything about the site or about the pattern of the traffic.

No international targeting option showing in GWT?
Hi for some strange reason for one of our sites the international targeting option to select what country to target in GWT is not showing. Usually it shows up like this: http://s9.postimg.org/bkxkkrafi/screenshot_1672.jpg (this is a different site we have in GWT). But it shows up like this: http://s16.postimg.org/im1ysd5z8/screenshot_1673.jpg With no way to change country targeting. My permission level is set as: Owner and are verified. Any ideas on why its not showing up? Cheers, Chris

Google cache is showing my UK homepage site instead of the US homepage and ranking the UK site in US
Hi There, When I check the cache of the US website (www.us.allsaints.com) Google returns the UK website. This is also reflected in the US Google Search Results when the UK site ranks for our brand name instead of the US site. The homepage has hreflang tags only on the homepage and the domains have been pointed correctly to the right territories via Google Webmaster Console.This has happened before in 26th July 2015 and was wondering if any had any idea why this is happening or if any one has experienced the same issueFDGjldR

Rel=prev/next and canonical tags on paginated pages?
Hi there, I'm using rel="prev" and rel="next" on paginated category pages. On 1st page I'm also setting a canonical tag, since that page happens to get hits to an URL with parameters. The site also uses mobile version of pages on a subdomain. Here's what markup the 1st desktop page has: Here's what markup the 2nd desktop page has: Here's what markup the 1st MOBILE page has: Here's what markup the 2nd MOBILE page has: Questions: 1. On desktop pages starting from page 2 to page X, if these pages get traffic to their versions with parameters, will I'll have duplicate issues or the canonical tag on 1st page makes me safe? 2. Should I use canonical tags on mobile pages starting from page 2 to page X? Are there any better solutions of avoiding duplicate content issues?

How would I know if Google is showing me as two separate sites?
I work for a company that is (for example) www.neat-stuff.com, most people just type in www.neatstuff.com. I think that we are being counted as a site twice. Any suggestions as to how to know for sure? If you want to know why I am asking this here is the link http://www.seomoz.org/q/redirect-help

Is there a way to stop my product pages with the "show all" catagory/attribute from duplicating content?
If there were less pages with the "show all" attribute it would be a simple fix by adding the canonical URL tag. But seeing that there are about 1,000 of them I was wondering if their was a broader fix that I could apply.

Why does this page not show in google at all?
www.lavenderblue-flowers.co.uk Sorry for formatting, below is the source. There are alot of blocks from robots.txt but is there anything easily rectified to get this site SOME visibility?
