Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Hi Ben,

No It doesn't affect SEO. Webmasters use url builder only to know correct source, medium and campaign. IMO url builder is fine to use to track blog traffic.

Thanks

No It won't be a problem but if you do user will find the same content what they are expecting after seeing in title tag and will also help in improve ranking with "top 10 hotels in city name".

Thanks

Hi Luke,

You or me or any body except from Google cannot fix that. Do one thing take the screenshot and tweet to @googlewmc hope you will get some reply.

Thanks

Hi J.P,

Yes you can see 'Average Session Duration' in Adwords. Please check this step by step article @ https://support.google.com/adwords/answer/2617364?hl=en-GB

Hope this helps.

Thanks

Hi Avinash,

Yes you can use in title but also used on web page too.

e.g

Top 10 hotels in London

1>Hotel 1

2> Hotel 2

......

10>Hotel 10

==========================================================

11> Hotel 11

12> Hotel 12

up to 25

Hope this helps.

Thanks

Hi Becky,

Internal links help spread link juice (ranking power) around websites. Find detailed article on best practice @ https://moz.com/learn/seo/internal-link

While internal linking is highly recommended, avoid doing it with keyword-rich anchor text. Using too many keyword-rich anchors can have a negative impact on your link profile. Try the healthy alternative of spreading the anchor across a sentence. For instance, instead of using “link building definition," you can go for something like “learn about the definition of link building." So, this ideally means that you create a long anchor and spread the keywords within. - SEOmoz excerpt

Hi Clayton,

It is a spam. I would suggest you to ignore it, sharing similar post from Google analytics community.

Hi Avin,

No updates from google recently except penguin 4.0 and Google says Penguin is a real-time signal processed within its core search algorithm.

Thanks

Hi,

You could set up an advanced segment, where the "Time on page" is set to greater than 60 seconds. Note that you could potentially be filtering out legitimate traffic as well by doing it this way.

Thanks

Hi Isaac,

Keywords match types mainly for Paid campaign not for SEO. Yes I have seen in paid campaign by changing word order performance also changes.

IMO they are different query.

Thanks

Hi Tabassum,

It is completely up to you. Google never make any statement that without www domain will get preference over domain with www. There are thousands of websites having www in their domain and ranking well in Google.

Thanks

Hi Matt,

They are certainly using some black techniques to get backlinks otherwise it is not possible to get such number of backlinks. Google sometime miss but Google will penalize that website when they caught. After penguin 4.0 I assume they will caught soon.

If you want you can report Google about this by filling this form @ https://www.google.com/webmasters/tools/paidlinks?pli=1

Hope this helps.

Thanks

Hi Avin,

In above scenario I would go for www.abc.com/dance-coaching-classes. I would also suggest you to check Rand Fishkin's post on 15 best seo practices for structuring URL.

https://moz.com/blog/15-seo-best-practices-for-structuring-urls

Thanks

Hi Alvin,

There are several factors involved in keywords ranking.

1. First check competitors backlinks, competitors might have quality backlinks
2. Compare on page grade in moz for your and competitors website for that particular keyword
3. Check landing page

Hope this helps.

Thanks

Hi,

Apart from excluding internal traffic by IP address you can also exclude/include traffic by mobile brand name, mobile model name but not particular mobile device. You can do this by creating custom filter at view level.

Thanks

Hi,

I had a website with .com and target market was UK. Site performs well in .com but when I got .co.uk website conversion goes up. As you mentioned above that very little SEO work has done on current website I would suggest you to get .co.uk domain and no need to use 301 redirect in your case ("Its a young company with little or no SEO pedigree, and under 50 external links.).

My suggestion is purely based on my experience.

Thanks

Hi

Creating separate page for each keyword is not a good idea. I would suggest you to use top 2 keywords in title tag like

Primary keyword - Secondary keyword | Brand name and rest two keyword you can use in web page content.

Hope this helps.

Thanks

Hi Tabassum,

Hi Hector,

I'm sharing updates from on Google on the same topic.

• Most advertisers will see search volume data in Keyword Planner as usual.
• Advertisers with lower monthly spend may see a limited data view in the Keyword Planner. For example, you may see values such as 0, 1-100, 100-1K, 1K-10K, 10K-100K, 100K-1M, 1M+ in the average monthly searches column. In addition, other advertisers may trigger the limited data view by reaching a limit on the number of searches for search volume data.

Hope this helps.

Hi Debashish,

It worth mentioning that the referral exclusion list does not work for traffic that is already cookied. So if a returning visitor had a referral source set before you added it to the list and then visits as direct, they will still have that referral source. Please check your session settings under Property -> Tracking Info -> Session Settings -> Campaign Timeout. If it's set to six months for example, it will take six months for all the self referrals to disappear.

Hope this helps.

Thanks

Hi,

are you talking about serve PPC ads by using Google/Bing ? If yes you can find time of day data in GA and Google Adwords both.

Thanks

I'm using semrush so I would also suggest you to go for semrush.

thanks

Hi Mahendra,

When it comes to seeing which keywords and ads your competitors are using, you can use tools like SpyFu, SEMrush, or iSpionage.

hope this helps.

Thanks

Hi Maria,

First of all Google search is not case sensitive. You can try yourself by searching acronym in all caps and in lower case, you will find Google showing same SERPS. You can use either in caps or lower case both will work and be weighted equally.

Hope this helps.

Thanks

Hi Marisa,

In my campaign conversion rate and CTR both are high for ETA. I'm also comparing with standard ads with rotating indefinitely. I think we should wait for some more time like 3-4 weeks.

Check this report also @ http://searchengineland.com/expanded-text-ads-ctr-early-results-merkle-254766

thanks

Hi Fabrizo

That is just coincidence. Google paid advertising/shopping doesn't affect organic listing.

Thanks

Hi James,

• Love Live Chat Pop Ups

I'm also using on my eCommerce site and it is very helpful for many users.

Thanks

Hi,

I would track both. Post-Hummingbird, Google has gotten much better at understanding synonymity - if you choose to optimize for one consistently, Google is going to understand your pages are still relevant for related queries, even when you may not have specifically optimized for them. This is why a lot of people are noticing that Google is modifying their how their Title Tags display in the SERPs - they're tailoring them to the queries for improved CTR but they can do that only because they know the modifications are still highly relevant to the listed page.

Hope this helps.

Thanks

Hi Tony,

First of all keyword in URL doesn't helps in ranking boost so don't worry about that . I would suggest you to go with first option.

Thanks

Hi Cornelius,

There are dozens of online tutorial available. I'm sharing one of them

Hi,

IMO approach 2 would be the best because fewer folders is generally better.

Thanks

Hi Matt,

Thanks for reply. Yes I'm talking about payment gateway referrals in GA. I'm using paypal and epdq.o.uk. I just want to confirm once that is it possible that by applying enhance ecommerce tracking payment gateway referrals disappeared or my guess is wrong?

Thanks

Hi All,

I was getting payment gateway referrals for my site for many months but when I have implemented enhanced eCommerce tracking self referral issue resolved but I haven't read anywhere about this solution so I just want to confirm once .

Thanks

completely agreed with above suggestion. That is the best way.

Hi,

First of all I would like to let you know that having keywords in URL won't give any ranking boost. Second thing I would go with 'yourdomain.com/business/personal-trainer-software' it will be helpful for user to know about what the page is about.

Thanks

Yes I agreed on that . You should start afresh campaign and pause old campaign.

Hi,

First of all if you are going to keep everything same like keywords, landing page, ads I don't think QS will improve in new campaign( no need to create new adwords account but yes yo can pause/delet old campaign and create new campaign).

What is current qs range in your campaign.

You should also use more restrictive keyword match type and you have to keep eye on 'search terms'.

*IMO creating new account will not help because qs will start from 6 in new campaign and after 1000 impression your real qs will start showing

Hope this helps.

Thanks

Hi Rajveer,

Similar question asked earlier many times . I'm sharing two past thread.

Hi,

I haven't used adwords for blog promotion but I'm using adwords since very long period for my ecommerce site and all my sites performing well . If you want to reach more users adwords will definitely will be a good option. I hope you know how to run adwords campaign effectively and if not hire professional or first get knowledge about adwords then you can run a campaign.

Please fell free to ask if you have any other query.

Thanks

Hi,

Time duration would vary from person to person and it totally depends on adwords knowledge and experience of auditor.

IMO it would take 4-5 hrs max because campaign is not very big. I have no idea about the cost but I would suggest you to go upwork.com post your job and defined maximum budget like $30/$40. I hope you will get many proposals.

Hope this helps.

Thanks

Hi,

I'm using CTA in all caps and many other SEO's also used and not heard any penalty due to this ever. Second meta description is not a ranking factor it is just to increase CTR.

**Don't use whole meta description in caps only CTA part in caps e.g FREE DELIVERY OR FREE SHIPPING.

Thanks

Hi Feilim,

Please check below article on exact topic.I hope it will help you.

Thanks

Hi Madlena,

For SEO both are important. XML and HTML sitemaps help search engines crawl your site. The main difference being that a HTML sitemap helps visitors gain a comprehensive understanding of your site, while XML more specifically caters to the search engines. When you add new pages or content to your site, you can use XML sitemaps to notify the search engines.

Hope this helps.

Thanks

Hi Margaret,

Both search engines have different algorithm and different ranking factors so it is very common to see big difference in ranking for same keywords. For my site I'm also seeing the such difference.

Hope this helps.

Thanks

Hi Jason,

My personal preference is Ahrefs. Now I do gather data from other sources, but I find ahrefs gives you the highest number of active links.

Thanks

Hi,

I'm completely agreed with what Google adwords specialist suggest you. I'm using the same technique for my campaign and it works perfectly fine.

If you don't have mobile specific url like m.example.com and your site is mobile responsive as you mentioned I would suggest you to do the same . I also have mobile responsive ecommerce site and following the same.

Thanks
