Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Hi Matthew,

Sounds like your ads are competing with each other. It's often called internal competition. Logically, those keywords on your third example can also trigger ads from your second example. It will usually tend to choose the ad performing better but can also show your other ad occasionally.

You can use negative keywords at Ad Group level to prevent this from happening while keeping your current structure. So, for example, on your 2nd category you can add as negative keywords the words: camo and rocket.

Hope this helps.

Cheers.

No prob David!

I was pretty sure lol

David,

Can you point out exactly where can I find this information in the link provided from Google Adwords support?

Perhaps I'm wrong, but as far as I know, you can't track a specific lead with just your conversion code. I'll be happy to read more information about it

Hope you clear this out for us.

Hi Ricky,

We came across this issue several times. It can't be done with just Adwords conversion code without using any other software. To achieve this, we use Hubspot with most of our clients to have detailed contact insights.

If you want to try a free software, you can go for Convertable. I've tried it before and works really well. However, I'm not sure if it can tell from what specific Adwords campaigns are your leads coming from.

Hope it helps!

Hi!

This issue have been discussed more than a few times. I don't want to repeat other author's words, so here's your answer:

Hope it helps.  

Cheers.

According to my experience, it also doesn't add the likes from bitly or other URL shorteners.

Thank you Keri for coming back to clarify the situation.

Richard, here's a useful link you may want that can help you fixing the error 406.

Hope it helps.

Good luck.

Hi Richard,

There's no problem with the br tag on your headline. You can install Moz's plugin for Chrome. It's very handy for analysing how robots read your site. Using this tool, under Page Elements you'll see your headline.

Also, I saw you are using Meta Keywords which are useless. You can remove them.

Kraig, I think you are a little bit confused about meta robots. That tag is fine.

Cheers.

Hi Ian,

Bold and anchor text sure helps. But there's really no official word on this.

I would suggest to always stick to what's best for the user. If you think that highlighting the most relevant phrases will help the user get the article much more faster, then stick to it. These way, you will provide a better user experience and probably reduce bounce rate as well. Users won't get bored by too much text and leave.

Also, you don't want to over optimise your site.

Remember to always build your sites for users, not for robots.

Hope it helps!

Hi Rob,

Thank you very much for taking the time to write such a complete and detailed answer. It was definitely very helpful.

When I was talking about canonicals, I meant to include the tag on the amazon-like site, pointing to my client's site. Not the other way around. The products I manage on that site are loaded with HTML code, so I could perfectly add the canonical tag.

If the content is unique and very well written, it made a little bit of sense. I guess that I will change the content from the local site and put some standard technical specifications.

Again, thank you for your advices!

Hi!

If your purpose is "to make some bucks", I don't see how you can do this in the short run by creating your own blog.

Building your own blog, if your content is good enough and you are able to engage with users, will help you make your web and your brand more relevant. This way, you will be more likely to increase your quality traffic and your sales as well. Also you can have some income with advertising. It's more of a long term strategy and will have an impact on your social reputation.

On the other hand, writing content for another company will only benefit you on the present. Yes, you will have an income instantly but you won't build any reputation and will be giving credit for your work to others.

It all depends on your strategy. If you are a good writer I'll go for the long term.

Hope it helps!

Hi!

I'm sorry to disagree with you Dave, but actually, in most cases you need to place your analytics script just before the tag to be more accurate.

You can see the set up for GA tracking code in Analytics Help: https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/1008080?hl=en.

Also, if you want more background information, here the guys from Luna Metric have written an excellent article that details where to put the GA snippet and why.

Hope it helps!

Hi Ringo!

It really depends on what kind of video you want to make. Animation videos are very used nowadays. You can see Crazy Egg's site as a very good example of how to promote a product by these types of videos. At least in my country, to hire someone to design this, is kind of expensive and learning Adobe After Effects to do it yourself can take a lot of time.

I found the solution on Wideo which allows you to make a pretty decent animated video very fast and "as easy as editing a doc in Word". I hope it helps!

From my experience this is probably the case. I saw this miscorrelation a few times but never differing in very high numbers. Also, it could be the case that your GA tracking code is not inside your tag. Is that possible?

I had several clients that were placing the tracking code at the end of the tag.  They've all missed visitors that click quickly through pages on their site before the Google Analytics tracking code executes.

Yes, only organic search results appears

I don't think you will have any problem. It won't be a doorway page or something like that because you are not deceiving the users, you are actually showing them the information they are requesting in the best possible way.
