Welcome to the Q&A Forum

I am excited to use the new Keyword Explorer for a Maine law firm. My goal is to prioritize topics for the law firm blog. Example potential search phrases might be "Maine dog bite laws".  Obviously there  will be MUCH higher search volume
 on the keyword "dog bite laws" than for "Maine dog bite laws". Suppose the Keyword Explorer show the volume for "Maine dog bite laws" to be 10 and the search volume for "dog bite laws" to be 1000. Can I assume that the Google SERP for a search done in Maine  for "dog bite laws" will probably push web pages of domains with Maine on many pages higher in the SERP?

in other words, if I create a quality, kick ass page about the TOPIC of Maine Dog bite laws, that Google will push up my  SERP position for searches done in Maine?  IN other words, as I do my analysis should I also  consider the search volume for my topic phrase without "Maine" in the search?

thank. Well done on the new tool.  Also what is the time frame of the search volume? one month ?

Hi Guillaume:

I made the correction you suggested. See code below. I believe that because there is PHP on the page, that I Must keep the / before the ' marks. Correct?

I think that If I remove the / marks, that the web page will not render correctly in PHP becuase  the ' mark is  special character in php.

When I look in Google anlaytics under "portland" I see no page views.

So can you suggest what I need to change?

a href="http://www.portlandmaine.com" target="_blank" onclick= _gaq.push(['_trackPageview','/links/portland_maine']);">http://www.portlandmaine.com

Thanks!!

HI Guillaume:

Thanks very much for going to my web site and identifying the key point that I now have the new async version of GA on my site. So I have to use the new version of page tracking.

Good catch!

Merci

I need a little help understanding how to create two of the required tags for a XML video  site map for Google.

1. video:content_loc2.<video:player_loc< p=""></video:player_loc<></video:content_loc>

Google explains their Video XML Site map requirements here:
www.google.com/support/webmasters/bin/answer.py?answer=80472
Using the example on this Google Web Master Help page (where they explain all six of the required tags) , here are examples of the two  tags I need help with:

video:content_locwww.example.com/video123.flv</video:content_loc>

<video:player_loc allow_embed="yes" autoplay="ap=1">www.example.com/videoplayer.swf?video=12...video:player_loc></video:player_loc>

The video I am trying to optimize is located on a page on my site:
www.mountainbikingmaine.com/races/bradbury_hawk.html
This page has an embedded Vimeo video. So I don't have the video file on my domain. It is on Vimeo.

Here is source code from my page that I think provides the information I need to create the two tags that Google requires.

<iframe src="<a rel=" nofollow"="" href="http://player.vimeo.com/video/24580638?title=0&byline=0&portrait=0"" target="_blank">player.vimeo.com/video/24580638?title=0&...amp;portrait=0"</a> width="400" height="533" frameborder="0"></iframe>

[vimeo.com/24580638">Bradbury](<a rel=) Mountain Maine Hawk Migration Count from [vimeo.com/user3219915">dan](<a rel=) sexton

Using this source from my site, can you suggest what to put in the two tags?

Thanks!

I am trying to learn the basics of tracking outbound links with this javascript code set up on

this url

http://queenofhats.com/links.php

I think I have a bug in my javascript that tracks clicks on an outbound link.

http://www.portlandmaine.com

When A person clicks on the "Portland Maine" link, in theory it should create a virtual pageload of a page called "portland_maine".

I have clicked on the link, but when I filter  on "portland"  in the Top Content section of Google Analyitcs, there are is no record of the click.

So I think my javascript code has a bug.

Any comment on the javascript would be most welcome.

I just noticed that I have \ before /links.

Is the "" the source of the problem?

Thanks!!
