Welcome to the Q&A Forum

We've been having a discussion about the GA Premium service here in our office, trying to weigh up the pro's and con's...

For the majority all it seems you gain access to is more support from google. We're trying to find out if that is the case or if you gain extra information, such as and insight into the search terms who must not be named.

Of course i'm talking about the (Not Set) data... This section of data is ever increasing, yes i know we can access certain terms through webmasters but it was so much easier (in the good ol' days) when all the data was under one roof!

Any thought opinions or even more questions would be greatly appreciated, i look forward to your responses.

Hi, perhaps I should have specified that it's a short term dip we're concerned about - 2/3 weeks - rather than long term. Our goal is to improve the performance of the site, of course, and enhance the user experience whilst, hopefully, driving more business for our client. Thanks for your response and suggestions.

Hi

We're redesigning a website for a client whose SEO rankings are fairly strong, and are driving a good volume of enquiries through their website. We would like to do our best to ensure the redesign has a minimal impact on the rankings but aren't sure if there's anything in particular we should be doing to avert a severe dip in results. The content will be similar on many pages, with the major updates being from 2013 products to the 2014 suite. Layouts and images will, of course be updated, and we're going to do our best to keep the inbound links going to the correct place - any advice here would be much appreciated, too.

We'd be really grateful for any suggestions for how to avoid a ranking disaster, and any major pitfalls we should look out for.

Many thanks.

Hi Guys,

We have client that wants to target 3 similar terms (used, secondhand and pre-owned) variations. We have been having a discussion about the different methods to try but can't make a decision on the best route. The target page has a list of pre-owned products so whichever route was take these products still need to be visible without creating duplicate content issues....

1 - Go all in on one page do our best at optimising a single page for all 3. - i don't like this route.
2 - Stick with the current pre-owned url and create a url for used and secondhand with a 301 redirect back to the pre-owned url.
3 - Create three individual pages aimed at a keyword individually, keep the pre-owned as the original and add canonical links to used and secondhand

I look forward to hearing your thoughts.
Thanks in advanced

Alright, thank you for the replies! I'll tell my clients to sit tight for now until things calm down.

I've indexed the page and tried to naturally link it in where acceptable. But even so the page jumps up and down all over the place. Is it just a matter of time, seeing if it will stabilise or is there something I can do to try pin it in one spot (Preferable when its ranked high)? I'm really stuck at thinking what I can do to keep it from bungie jumping up and down.

Hi, I was wondering if anyone could help me.

I am currently doing SEO for a client’s site, over the past few weeks the keywords have gradually gone up steadily. One of the keywords however continues to jump on and off rankings. For a few days it will jump up to 23^rd in Google Rankings, but then it will completely drop of the radar, not even in the top 200 anymore.

I’ve gone through the site to check if there is anything wrong and stuck to guidelines offered here on SEO Moz but I’m stumped to figure it out. The Keyword has a page that helps target it, there is no stuffing, all I can think is if there are bad back-links coming in to us that Google that continues to push down the rankings.

Can anyone help shed some light on the situation for me?

Thanks for you thoughts.
I may not have been clear enough, the pages don't have no index on them they are simply not found in the the google index when performing a site: search

Been looking at a couple of sites recently. I've seen that they contain a couple of 'default' pages from the build process. These pages aren't of any significance to the main site and as such aren't actually linked in anywhere.
I did a site:www.example.com search on google and as expected the pages aren't indexed.

Could these page be have a negative affect on SEO in the future?
Even though they aren't indexed or linked in anywhere.

I look forward to you responses...

Depending on the data your after, GA have their real time feature. (visits, referrals, locations etc)

Hi Mozzers'

I've been doing some research on a few sites and found that one or two contain allot of nofollow links, can these have a negative effect on seo efforts?
