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

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

4. 100s of duplicate descriptions

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

Abnormally High Direct Traffic Volume
We have abnormally high amounts of direct traffic to our site. It's comprising over half of all web traffic while organic is second with considerably less. From there the volume decreases amongst other channels. I've never seen such a huge proportion of traffic being attributed the Direct. Does anyone know how to test this or see if there is an error in Google Analytics reporting?

Google Analytics: How to Track Blog Traffic that Enter the Purchase Funnel?
I've been trying to figure this out for awhile, but I have had no luck. The current ecommerce store that I work for is trying to find out how to track how many people coming in via the blog are converting/buying. The site lives on Magento and the blog is on wordpress and they both use the same Google Analytics code. Site URL: http://website.com/ Blog URL: http://website.com/blog Is there anyway to do this so you can see which landing pages are driving conversions? If not, Is it possible to set up Google Analytics to show conversions and revenue coming from people who enter through blog directory?

Do PPC clicks get attributed to "Organic" in Analytics?
Hey guys, This month I started running a PPC campaign for a client and have noticed that none of the click data is showing up in Analytics under "Paid". However, under the "Organic" section, I've noticed that we're gaining a lot more clicks through to the site for some of our targeted keywords than we have been in previous months. Is this just a coincidence or is the PPC click data being used under the Organic section of Analytics?

What will you do when seeing the rank and traffic are dropping?
No black-hat SEO strategy was adopted, so we suppose it's not a penalty, but ranks and organic traffics are dropping. What will you do in this situation? And how long it takes for you to make sure it's not a normal flux, but something wrong happens on your site? Thanks in advance

Can you get local search numbers/traffic out of Google Analytics?
With Google's new local search I am more curious as to market penetration on keywords that are now localized to my different US cities. I understand that you can separate out Google traffic based on regional Google domains, but I am curious if there is an effective way to separate out searches and keywords based on a my local US Metros? If google cannot do this, any recommendations on products that can? Thanks.
