Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Thanks - excellent analysis. Exactly what I was looking for and hadn't considered this possibility. Will dig in!

Following the week of Google's major algorithm update in January, we saw this graph in our Moz dashboard. (green bars are # of landing pages receiving traffic from search, blue line is traffic from search)

Traffic from SEO grew slightly, but number of landing pages receiving traffic fell by more than 50%. We didn't make any changes to sitemap, rel=canonical, number of pages being published, etc. Traffic from top keywords held consistent. Number of pages/images google crawled and indexed grew per webmaster tools. Big spike in Nov/Dec is because we are in retail, seasonal not technical issues.

Is anyone else experience the same thing? An algo change? Or something more specific to our site?

Quality traffic is what we care about, so number of pages traffic is going to could be a positive thing (easier to optimize). But jury is out.

I'd like to crawl our ecommerce site to see how deep (clicks from home page) pages are. I want to verify that every category, sub-category, and product detail page is within three clicks of the home page for googlebot.

Suggestions?

Thanks!
