Hi Stephan,

applicablejobs.com is my url yes.

Hi all,

I have a pretty big problem with my site at the moment which I'm worried will have an impact on my rankings.

I've just had a crawl test done and for some reason I get a load of urls returned that don't actually exist...

For example I am getting urls like this in my crawl test and xml sitemap:

www.applicablejobs.com/jobs/add/android-designer/android-designer/android-designer/android-developer/android-developer/

www.applicablejobs.com/jobs/add/android-designer/android-designer/android-designer/android-developer/iphone-designer/

All the urls seem to start off with www.applicablejobs.com/jobs/ and there is an entry for every conceivable combination of slugs.

I can only assume that if the crawl test and an xml sitemap generator is indexing these urls then Google and other search engines probably are too.

Does anyone have any idea what might be causing this issue and what can I do to remove them from Googles index if they are?

Thanks

Hi all,

I run a site called Applicable Jobs (http://www.applicablejobs.com) and from analyising my analytics I notice my bounce rate is unusually high at around 85%. I'm keen to get this right down as I've read recently that a high bounce rate is a metric Google uses in determining positioning in the SERPs.

I honestly don't think it's the quality of my content because I feel it's genuinely useful to my target audience but I'm wondering if the way my jobs list is generated is causing an issue.

At the moment I have my jobs listings generated through javascript so I can have nice effects and use a bit of ajax but if Google crawls it, it obviously won't be able to see the listings.

So I'm wondering if when a user comes to the site and they click on one of the job listings, does the Google analytics code recognise that click because that link is generated through javascript?

Thanks
