Slow growth in organic traffic
-
Hi,
Recently our website after 5 months of launch started seeing more organic traffic, thanks to the seo effort being put. However, off late the growth is quite slow and we don't see much increase in organic traffic any more. Any idea on what could have happened to cause this or is it normal.
Here is the link to the website to check and if you can recommend anything - https://www.keyhub.com
Thanks,
-
Of course, I meant in addition to the Keyword some variable which helps it differentiate and unique.

Far better to write a proper title & description. The title is vital in telling Google what the page is all about. Simply adding a number will separate them but they will still struggle to rank. You need to tell Google what is on the page:
Primary Keyword | Secondary Keyword | Company Name

Ok, I get it. These are category pages and as there are multiple pages for categories too they have duplicate titles. We will try to add some varialble like page number or something in the title to make sure there are no duplicates.
-
Yes I think you are right. There are over 700 pages with duplicate titles though. This from my scan:
These are just an example: All share the same title.

For each of the products like - https://www.keyhub.com/en/buy-fortnite-deluxe-founders-pack-xbox-one-compare-cd-keys-prices/ it is already customized according to the game name.
It is only for the catalog page - https://www.keyhub.com/en/cd-keys-prices-compare/ that it is not customized.
-
You could try and automate and have a meta title & description inserted from the name of the game. I have seen that done quite successfully.
Title Format: " <game name="">Compare Prices <review, code&="" cheats="">| Keyhub.com"
Description Format: "Compare prices on <game name="">and read all about the game at Keyhub including walkthroughs, hints, codes & cheats"
Something like that.
Ask a developer - I'm sure it wouldn't cost much.
Cheers
Nigel</game></review,></game>

Hi Nigel,
Thanks a lot for your comprehensive response and the time you took out. To give you a bit of background, we are a price comparison platform. With 100s of new games added everyday. This makes it a bit more difficult for us to have unique titles or descriptions for each page.
So the point 2, 4 & 5 you mentioned our unfortunately the number of pages which host all those games. As there are more than 900 games and they all span over around 100 pages so they have the same page title.
Rest we will work on it to the best of our capacity to fix it
Thanks again

Yes - it's only a small piece of the jigsaw as I'm sure you know but it's a great kickstart for them!
Cheers Nigel

Wow! Nigel... This is quite an informative and helpful post. Looks like they need guidance but much of the work can be done in-house, but only if they know how to do it.

Hi kh
I think I can help
1. our blog is in a blog directory so automatically your posts are in e directory within a directory. This goes back to teh way your site was set up with an extra lower directory housing the blog posts!
2. 100s of posts share the same page title: They all need to be unique

7. The site is slow:
These are just a few observations. The site is a bit of a mess I'm sorry to say and you need a very good SEO to produce a Site Audit to help you fix eveything. It's not just the odd thing - a bit of sticking plaster/bandaid won't do.
Kind Regards Nigel

Email traffic tracking in Google Analytics
Hello! I have a question about how to assure email traffic is properly tracked in GA > Acquisition > All Traffic > Channels. **First, some background... ** Our company (Wisconsin's largest group dental practice) is about to revamp the way we try to re-capture patients who don't have a future appointment set with us. Part of that process will include emails. Those emails will point back to our website to request an appointment. Now to the question... Is there anything special we should do to assure that links coming to the website and the resulting appointment request goal conversions track appropriately and appear under "Email" in the Default Channel Group of Analytics > Acquisition > All Traffic > Channels area of GA? For example, should we use Campaign URL Builder to establish UTM links? Thanks in advance for any feedback. Erik

Why would on-site search queries show up as referral traffic?
The site analytics have been set up for over a year and suddenly last month there was a huge spike in referral traffic (1100+ sessions). Upon further investigation, the majority of it was coming directly from internally, either as mysite.com or search.mysite.com and the landing pages from the referrals are all /search.html?query=* This was never an issue before so I'm trying to understand what could have changed. I'm following up with the client to find out if their dev team may have changed anything related to their search engine but I'm wondering if there may be another explanation. A few notes: previously mysite.com / search.mysite.com were not in the Referral Exclusion list. I've added them now but this was never an issue before. Thanks in advance!

Bing Webmaster Tools data discrepency on traffic
Hi, For a given time period in Bing Webmaster Tools it says that combined clicks from Bing and Yahoo organic search are about 4,700 total, for the same time period in Google Analytics, combining sessions for Bing and Yahoo Organic comes out to about 8,900 total. Has anyone else experienced this discrepancy? Is this common? How can I get 8900 visits from 4700 clicks?

Traffic Drop with no real explaination?
Hello Everyone, On one of my sites PokerOnaMac we experienced a 75% drop in traffic in about a week (since September 3rd). I took a look at GA and the penalties have been applied sitewide. I also checked my Google Webmaster Tools, and there are no messages regarding "unhealthy link structures." We have had other sites penalized by Penguin & Manual Removals, but they are recovering now. What is my best bet to find what is wrong? Thanks

No (Not Provided) Traffic
Hi All, I have a site that gets around 500,000 visits every month from the UK and US, but funny enough the number number of visits under (not provided) traffic is only 179 per month. For most websites I usually get 10% or 15% of the traffic under not provided, what could the reasons be for such a low percentage of (not provided)? Thanks, Carlos

Google Analytics Organic Keyword (Not Provided) Alternative Hacks?
I'm sure everyone is sick of the (Not Provided) keywords because I know I am, and Google reckons that you should only see 10% or less (I'm currently around 13% and growing). I am seeking alternatives or hacks that will help display the keywords? If you have a hack to actually display the keywords, please share it your ideas and thoughts? I recently implemented a hack that will show the landing page of the keywords which is better than nothing. But as an eCommerce site, I have about 10% of my transactions which not provided, knowing the keywords would really help. Would love to hear your thoughts?
