RE: AW Stats vs Google Analytics
As far as I can tell the tracker is placed properly..I think the diff is AW gives false counts for images loads as multiple page loads.

RE: AW Stats vs Google Analytics
Thanks for the considered response Charles; good point about focusing on actual traffic increase vs. getting wrapped up in total accuracy.

AW Stats vs Google Analytics
Hey Moz Community,
I am looking to get opinions on the best practice for analytics/traffic analysis. From experience I know that AW Stats reads high and Google Analytics reads low for traffic for reason in this article http://www.smartz.com/blog/2009/01/23/analytic-confusion-%E2%80%93-awstats-vs-google-analytics/
It drives me a little nuts how far off both are for some pages. I have one article that shows 100 views (GA) and AW stats shows 5 times that number of views.
Any suggestions or systems you recommend? Thanks

RE: 800 Number vs. Local Phone
Thanks Keith, i did not realize citations counted all the way down to the "space" level. Some citations auto generate.

RE: Are multiple embeds of the same video considered content duplication?
I use Wistia...its great.
The XML site map points the video to one page...other instances of the video would not be duplicate content. Sometimes you want to allow others to embed your video for say a how to video.
House Painting Videos on this home page are embeds but are xml site mapped on their own pages.
Here is a video House Paint color tool that I may want to allow other sites to embed.
Good luck

RE: Same Video on Multiple Pages and Sites... Duplicate Issues?
This may answer your question..
Duplicate content primarily refers to unique texts (articles). The primary way Google indexes video is by video XML sitemap...the XML sitemap entry tells google what the video is about. The XML sitemap points the video to one specific page.
Example: Wood stain video resides on a deep page and is indexed by google to that page. But the same wood stain video is embedded on the main landing page for this painting contractor site.
re: transcript..I would change the text or at minimum add additional text to the transcript so that each page has unique text.

RE: Home page replaced by subpage in google SERP (good or bad)
Many quality websites have deep pages that outrank their homepage. This is actually a natural organic pattern.
In general most homepages can be classified as director pages with clear navigation to content...it is these content pages that are usually linked to.

RE: Someone is redirecting their url to mine
Himansu is right just block from via .htaccess file
This brings us a bigger issue not often discussed. Since anyone can link or redirect to your site, this creates a dilemma for search engines.
For example lets say I buy a porn site and decide to create links from that porn site to Portlandhaircuts.com, with malicious intention for that site.
I have three hole-in-ones.
