Thanks Cyrus,

I need explanation how OSE works. Now know it and can wait for next results and work on good link connections. I will try to "flow to surface" with links from good sites in which I have buried links

Marek

Hi,

Just add the goal for 'Thank You' page visit Google Article or add a event tracking code Article and article

Good luck

I think it depends on the type of content. Natural order - that from books, newspapers etc.. is from main title to subtitle, and in my opinion it is a best solution and natural direction of crawling a site. Good example are product sheets e.g. Canon Germany site  Canon Eos 1D X.

You can check it using seoMOZ On-Page Report Card, it gives you feedback about content arrangement and structure.

If you have specific content like adds you can use different structure on purpose.

Hi,

In my opinion font size doesn's effect on SEO. So

is more important than

.

You can find topic in google forums - one of them: font size

Thank you Ryan,

Great explanation. My idea is to make sure how it works and thanks to you i'm enlightened. I always try to understand mechanisms and rules of tools actions.

Thank you again:-)

Yes I know majesticseo and I wrote about it some time ago in Q&A What do you use Majestic SEO for?

Frankly speaking my question was a little bit provoking. It's a large number of tools ... each of them cost a money - that can be a problem, not big but...

My question is also about how the OSE crawl the pages/links, how accurate it is and in the end how long it take to crawl e.g. 50% of links?

And still I'm wonder why it crawls low ranked pages and not to crawl high ranked pages on specific market/country?

I really want to understand what is the scheme of OSE crawling work.

Hi Brent,

I know that, already read lots of Q&A and other stuff ... but the thing is that OSE indexed links from my few domains (C Blocks) and other links from very low ranked sites.

I wonder why it doesn't index links from e.g. Google +1 and other high ranked sites?

It's a second month of campaign and few crawls behind...

It can be an issue for other campaign I want to perform for my clients ... should I use different tool for link tracking?

On the other hand my mR = 5.1, mT = 5.69, PA = 33, DA = 20 and all factors increased heavily last 2 months. At the same time my PR = 3 (from PR=0, 2 months ago)

Thanks

Hi all SEOmozzers,

site: http://f8phototravel.pl

I have (in my GMT profile) 43 domains linking. Among them one of the biggest Polish like: onet.pl (5/187), gazeta.pl (8/393), grono.net.pl, canon-board.info, eturystyka.org and other.

They are not present in OpenSiteExplorer.

Any ideas why?

Thanks,

Marek

There's no obligation ... meta description is used in SERP as a link description, so it's better to have good, engaging ant attracting description - it will increase conversion from natural search (CTR).

So in the end it's worth to spend a while to create good, magnetic descriptions and in my opinion if you create such a text it can be used in both places. Remember to add a keyword to your meta description

Hi,

As I see your product short description is the not the same as meta description tag. Meta description is creating from "Product description" (product page).

For meta description rule is 140 characters not more than 160 - 170.

Usually people don't read a lot (sometimes nothing) they browse. So for your short description you should use general marketing rule - short, product features do not sell, values for the client are good for sells.

In my opinion your short description on http://www.theprinterdepo.com/canon-imageclass-lbp6000-new-discount-inside is good. Maybe you can modify a little bit e.g.:

"The best for any small business or home office user looking for quality laser output. Very quick first print and next 19 pages per minute! Excellent quality, easy to use, cheap exploitation."

Hi Brian,

I think - yes, just try - it is my video and some code:

<iframe width="560" height="315" <="" p=""><p class="p1">onclick="_gaq.push(['_trackEvent', 'Video', 'Click', 'KenyanLakes2010']);" </p> <p class="p1"> src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/FpA0JzF8lco" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

We had first very visible activity of Panda in Poland on Jan, 31, 2012. For best price comparisons portals went down to nowhere. That was because of usage link exchange system on a huge scale. Google in official communicate promised to put off the filter after they change SEO policy but now they still outside the rankings.

Now on the top are shops and other valuable sites. So will see maybe they improve again

I've noticed that you have blog but not in the website on different URL. It doesn't help the website.

Other thing - small amount of backlinks (~50), a lot of internal links are nofollow, why?

Content - poor keyword consistency, long page titles. Does titles including keyword? (it is in Spanish or Portuguese so I cant't tell)

Alan and Egol are right. You need content, content with keywords and photos. Read about alt tags and keyword positions in articles.

And what I can add - you need blog on your page not outside. Use pagination for your blog it is too long.

And last but not least BACKLINKS good trusty&juicy links to your site

Good Luck

In Wordpress you don't have catalogues except e.g. catalogues on servr like "/wp-content/uploads/....",  only posts. Some type of specific posts functions as pages.

A little bit different is with pages which are created by dynamic query like tag, category, archives. But in the end they are also posts with one specific url.

I'm linking with "/" but google indexed pages reported to index with or without "/" on the same way.

Hi,

from SEO point of view it is almost the same as in Highland response. Technically it is better to end links with trailing slash because when you put without server is queried 2 times (id depends on mod-rewrite in .htaccess file)

But remember it works only for main domain. For deeper structure like:

www.example.com/content

www.example.com/content/

are two diff things 1st is a file content address,  2nd is an index of catalogue "content" if exist if not 1st rule

Is your problem is that plugin generated 2 meta description tags?

Hi Marisa,

I'm using /%postname% and in my opinion it is a best structure ... but ... in that kind of structure is important to care about slug and to prevent creation of duplicated titles.

/the-best-solution  is a good slug

//the-best-solution-2  is not a good slug

I don't have duplicated pages cos WordPress has mechanism which check the slug in real time when you creating a post.

I think that  /%postname% is the most friendly link structure.

For more than 2 months I'd been tested another SEO plugin - SEO Ultimate. IMHO it is the best plugin for WP at the time. It is very flexible and it is possible to decide about almost every element of a page. It has follow/nofollow and index/noindex manager and tons of other features.

I don't have attachment pages indexed

Hi,

As I know there's no solution for Analytics. It is better to have separate account for every client.

For AdWords you can connect it in one in My Client Center

Adwords and analytics linking  is described in google help

Good Luck

I doesn't. It does you a number of views, because there's a lot different solutions in internet browsers and plugins and user can even view it in Google docs viewer. But for many purposes it is sufficient to know that user view a document.

You can implement dedicated java script tool to know the number of downloads. Probably the code mentioned by nvs.nim (below) realizes such an action.

Good luck

Hi,

just choose different date range of analysis. If you mouseover on bubbles you will get a number of clicks and percentage of clicks of a particular URL (notice - not in particular button - its url - slug measuring)

Marek

Hi,

ad. 1it's part of url - address of file you have on serwer (to download) obviously it's example you can named it different

ad. 2 it's optional - look to my answer on 31/01 and you can read it on google WT help

event tracking

Marek

Hi,

how many visit do you have? is the bounce rate high?

First impression about your website - it's boring form marketing and human point of view. But frankly speaking when i did quick research in the Polish internet it looks almost the same.

Maybe first thing to do is to differentiate from competition. On that site my graphics designer used dog's muzzle to "good nose" for real estate searching - it's real estate agent  site Now many people don't remember the name of this agency but everybody remembers  them  as "that one with dog"  http://www.salvanto.pl/

Maybe it is not about SEo but the world does not begin and end with the SEO Be different from others on the market

It is because in AdWords KT Google estimates potential on global and local market.

In webmaster tools, when localization is not specified  google collect data in a specific way, can say it's a measure of a propagation of particular site (written in e.g. english) in many local markets which are use that language.

Result is neither global nor local. Result is specific for particular site, language and many other factors responsible for spreading a content in many places. Please that it is correct for assumption that localization of a site is not set.

In other cases local results from GKT and local from GWT are comparable.

Hope my explanation clarified your doubts

Hi again,

First you should decide about tracking method. Next read Google article and finally ask us a specific not general question. I think it is fair advise

hi,

In my case indexation took around 2 months after my manual submission to bing index. It was a long time of nothing and one day blow up almost all pages in bing index and on very good positions.

Maybe it only need time.

Sorry I don't understand, could you please ask clearly, what is search volume? in GWT?

Agree with Josh, link juice is can say "Page benefit" but from "natural SEO" perspective such a links look more natural and they are deeper than page-link.

I think it can create a good natural link structure.

On the other hand is nice when we care about users. E.g. if you put a link with specific answer in article which is solved on FAQ page with 300 labeled links it is really helpful to put a direct address to answer than to the FAQ page. It increases page usability.

but remember about common sense, too much water drowns the miller

If you didn't choose a geographic location google use different signals:

"If no information is entered in Webmaster Tools, we'll rely largely on the site's country domain (.ca, .de, etc.). If an international domain (.com, .org, .eu, etc) has been used, we'll rely on several signals, including IP address, location information on the page, links to the page, and any relevant information from Google Places."

more: GWT help

so your traffic can be for example from many english speaking countries

It depends - probably for google.com did you localize a site?

Hi,

In my opinion you can treat is using KISS - keep it simply stupid. When you ask somebody on a street what does lcd.jsp mean you can't get a correct answer but if you ask about 'lcd" many people will tell you correct answer.

Think robots are created as we are... and now is a big trend to use "friendly links".

so  www.example.com/tv/lcd is correct and more accurate.

and follow this rule you can build link pyramid:

www.example.com/tv

www.example.com/tv/lcd

www.example.com/tv/lcd/sony

www.example.com/tv/lcd/sony/model-xxx

and so on, it creates very good link structure

Hi,

agree 100% with Kane it is also recommended by google for localizations

www.domain.com

www.domain.com/us

www.domain.com/pl

etc...

It increases domain authority and this is what everyone site owner wants

Hello,

did you check what kind of searches is result from GKT? Global or local. In Google WT only the local searches are presented - just check it first

sorry donford I'm mac user but I've notice on other computer with MS system and and brand new ms office that when opens csv it exchanges e.g. 459/2011 (agreement no/year) to date. Nobody could supply me a solution for this issue, so I added a space before the number and now I read it as text

MS in his save the world mission sometimes add features that are not really helpful

I am not sure but ... in google analytics  Traffic sources--> Search Engine Optimization --> Queries you can chose secondary dimension "Google Property" and  table will display searches from images. But it's only rough report about conversion. I didn't find any other solution in GA.

Maybe adding tracking code to images is kind a solution

I got the same problem couple a weeks ago and I change a file extension to txt and next open in spreadsheet and  I've got a good structure.

maybe it will help you

Hello again,

They are the same.

And I assume that interpretation is the same because default state is:

**<META NAME="ROBOTS" CONTENT="ALL">  **that means index, follow

and you can decompose every tag to parts:

<META NAME="ROBOTS" CONTENT="NOINDEX">

<META NAME="ROBOTS" CONTENT="FOLLOW">

and that tells robot to noindex, but do follow is default so if you don't use this tag robot will follow anyway.

Hi Peter,

Read an Google article first: http://support.google.com/webmasters/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=93710

and then you can read http://www.robotstxt.org/meta.html

Take in the consideration that many robots especially malware simply can ignore that tag. So on the end your site can appear in SERP's despite you use "noindex". More information about indexing: http://www.robotstxt.org/faq/indexing.html

When you think about googlebot it respects "noindex" tag. The best place to tag is section. Make sure that your robots.txt doesn't block a robots

User-agent: *

Disallow: /

block all robots to enter the site, so you can use:

User-agent: *

Disallow:

It looks like you did a big mess in your blog, SeoMOZ says "Using rel=canonical suggests to search engines which URL should be seen as canonical." and nothing more.

How to use - description is in On-Page Report Card in Critical Factors section.

"ExplanationIf the canonical tag is pointing to a different URL, engines will not count this page as the reference resource and thus, it won't have an opportunity to rank. Make sure you're targeting the right page (if this isn't it, you can reset the target above) and then change the canonical tag to reference that URL."

Take Care, M.

Hi Brandon,

As I know yahoo catalogue were moved to Bing, and all your information should be there: http://www.bing.com/toolbox/webmaster

Hi you can use On-Page Analysis Report to optimize your pages for particular keyword (page by page) or wait few weeks when robots do this inside your campaign.

Hi Rasmus,

User-agent: *
Disallow:

means that all robots can enter the site

User-agent: *
Disallow: /

block all robots to enter.

User-agent: WebCrawler
Disallow:

block WebCrawler robot, but other can enter

Always first line of robots.txt tells what robots can crawl a site and  * means all. Second and next lines are pointing specific catalogues on a server e.g. Disallow: /admin/

So I think that is not a robots.txt issue - please ensure me

Hi Steve,

Could you please tell me how? What specific technical solution you use?

Thanks, Marek

It does not look right cos it was a virtual pageview tracking or mixture of both methods.

_trackPageview() creates a virtual directory structures and _trackEvent() creates an event...

Hi,

I think that it's better to use event tracking than virtual page-view tracking.

Syntax and parameters explanation

_trackEvent(category, action, opt_label, opt_value, opt_noninteraction)'```
[]);">Download](#)

where: 

-category (required) -  e.g. Maps  (The name you supply for the group of objects you want to track.)

 - action (required) -  e.g. Download (A string that is uniquely paired with each category, and commonly used to define the type of user interaction for the web object.)

- label (optional)  - e.g. EuropeMap or filename map.pdf  (An optional string to provide additional dimensions to the event data.)

- value (optional) -  An integer that you can use to provide numerical data about the user event.  It is very complicated to quick explanation and usage, you should read full article and additions like: Implicit Count. 

- non-interaction (optional) - set it for "true" (A boolean that when set to `true`, indicates that the event hit will not be used in bounce-rate calculation.) 

In this link you  can read full google help article: http://code.google.com/apis/analytics/docs/tracking/eventTrackerGuide.html

In your case syntax will be: [](http://www.example.com/files/map.pdf)

 [Then go to analytics to "Content" section  of the reports and view Event Tracking an you will have:

category: PDF

Action: Download

label: MyMap

and count .... count how many events you have

Wish you a huge number of downloads.
