Hi Josh,

No absolutely not . We can use comma or pipes, dashes as a separator in meta title, description or heading but not underscore. You can also watch below video to know more.

Hi,

IMO Your assumption" is correct. Existing url structure need to change with hyphen.

According to Google "The URL http://www.example.com/green-dress.html is much more useful to us than http://www.example.com/greendress.html."

Hope this helps.

Hi,

In Analytics it shows source is google and medium is cpc(cost per click). I think you are running Adwords campaign for your website.

Google Analytics drop in traffic - Did you check your keyword position in Google?

Sudden drop in keyword ranking could be the reason. Please check keywords ranking in Google.

Hope this helps.

Thanks

Hi Monica,

I presume you already check all the options before posting this question. I have concluded this by seeing your others posts/reply in this community.

Now here is my answer

To prevent your PDF file (or any non HTML file) from being listed in search results, the only way is to use the HTTP X-Robots-Tag response header, e.g.:

X-Robots-Tag: noindex

robots.txt does not prevent your page from being listed in search results.

What it does is stop the bot from crawling your page, but if a third party links to your PDF file from their website, your page will still be listed.

If you stop the bot from crawling your page using robots.txt, it will not have the chance to see the X-Robots-Tag: noindex response tag. Therefore, never ever ever disallow a page in robots.txt if you employ the X-Robots-Tag header.

I hope it helps but not very sure.

Thanks

Hi,

I faced the same issue and in order to resolve you need to add payment gateway site in referral exclusion list and wait for 6 months because The referral exclusion list is not working for returning visitors who already have the source set to the domain you added to the list. If they come back as direct they will still have that source set.

it will take six months for the domain you added to the referral exclusion list to disappear. Hope this helps.

Thanks

Hi Kevin,

As far as I know there is no such thing exist in Google Analytics by default. I think you are using UTM tracking and defined camapign source as 'Local SEO' . Please check that and let us know.

Thanks

Hi,

I don't know whether your issue resolved or not by following either of above suggestion. This time I am sharing a Googler's post on exact issue. Please have a look.

Hi Justin,

As you know that meta title is very important on page factor so if you change meta title that could affect but in your case I don't thing it will affect too much because you are using very similar terms . *** CTR would also very important rule to improve ranking so write title in such a way that you can get more clicks.****

Second thing I would like to suggest you to use those keywords that currently in title you should place those keyword into web page content/ H1 tag where you find appropriate.

Meta description is not ranking factor directly but indirectly yes it is a ranking factor because a good meta description can increase CTR & if CTR will increase keyword ranking will improve. So you can change it to more compelling meta description in order to improve your CTR.

URL - You can change URL by using 301 redirect maximum link juice will pass to new URL.

You can follow this URL in case of Title tag

Firstst word in the title is the most important. Second word is the 2nd most important. The last word in the title tag is the least important.

Hope this helps.

Thanks

Hi Justin,

Did you check in Google webmaster tools?  If not please do check how many links you are seeing there?

****Over 1000 links within a month is very suspicious if that tool showing current numbers. ****

If you have ahrefs tool please also check there . You will get correct data

Thanks
