Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Do you know where I can select that, when I clicked on 'Columns' I didn't see avg. session duration.

Happy Holidays Mozzers!

Does anyone know how to view 'Average Session Duration' for AdWords campaigns? I can't seem to be able to add it within the AdWords platform and when i try and view it on Analytics, the #/visits isn't matching the #/visits I see when I try and review the campaign via AdWords.

Any help on this issue would be great! Thanks for reading!

Hi all,

I was wondering what SEO value, if any, there is from user comments on my WordPress blog. A lot of them seem to be from bots or incredibly generic.

So I guess, aside from possibly adding to the 'trust' factor and the possibility of facilitating a potential relationship with another relevant website, is there any value here?

I can't wait to hear from you all!

Hi,

So, I have a client who wants to host two websites (which you could refer to as sister sites) on the same hosting account.

For some reason, I was under the impression that doing as much may be detrimental (for SEO purposes). Am I correct in thinking this? Can I get some back-up documentation or comments here? I look forward to hearing what you all have to say. Thanks for reading!

Hey Mozzers,

I just wanted to see how you all deal with eliminating Google ghost traffic sources from Google. I tried setting up a RegEx 'include' list before, but it seemed as though I was blocking potential traffic sources when I did as much (I'm probably missing something here).

Anyway, I'm interested to read how you all have dealt with this issue in the past, thanks for reading!

Hello Mozzers!

So, I have a client whom has purchased a number of different domains that they want to re-direct to their main website. Their thinking is: that by doing as much, they will increase their opportunities to rank for related KW terms. To the best of my recollection, that is not the case, especially if they are not posting any content on those other domains, but simply redirecting the page to their "main site".

I am very concerned, however, that by doing as much they run the risk of receiving a penalty from the Google Search team. I am a little hazy on this issue, as it's been some time, but to the best of my recollection doesn't this constitute "spammy behavior".

Again, since it's been so long since I've had a client try to implement a strategy like this, I'm a little unfamiliar with how it may play out in the current landscape, so I'm eager to hear all of your opinions on the utility of such a strategy and whether or not it will spell doom for my client. I'm anxious to hear what you think, thanks for reading!

Hey there,

So I have a client who recently 're-skinned' their website and now there is little to no content above the fold. Likewise, I've noticed that since the transition to this new front-end design there has been a drop in rankings for a number of keywords related to one of the topics we are targeting.

Is there any correlation here? Is having content 'above the fold' still a relevant factor in determining a websites' searchability? I appreciate you reading and look forward to hearing from all of you. Have a great day!

Why can't I add my social info to the Moz campaign that I'm currently running?

Hi all,

I am confused about the new Moz layout. Is there a way for me to export the list of keywords that I'm tracking to an Excel document. My client would like me to start tracking the avg. monthly searches and since I can't seem to find a way to do that in Moz, I need to export the list to an Excel doc and then drag and drop them into the Keyword Ad Planner.

I've tried to 'download the csv' using the 'export csv' function, but when I do it's not pulling the data how I want it. I basically just want to create a copy of the existing keyword list, but when I try to do it here, it's pulling a bunch of historical data and stuff I really don't need.

If anyone knows of an easier solution to achieve as much, I would love to hear it. Please let me know.

Hi,

I recently had a client ask me to add avg. monthly searches to the keyword tracking portion of their monthly report, so they can see the 'value' of the keyword terms we are tracking.

Is there a way to add this column to the keyword tracking portion of the custom reports? I'm crossing my fingers that this is possible. Thanks for reading!

Hi,

I'm currently working with a developer who is trying to tell me that validation errors and warnings are of little to no importance in a website's SERP.

In the past, whenever I've had a site that was experiencing problems ranking for a keyword terms, this was one of the first places we'd look.

Is this still a relatively important component in getting a site to rank?

I have several clients looking for local submission services similar to Yext (since they are already subsribers). Can anyone suggest a service similar to Yext for an SBO.

Likewise, do any of you know any local citation services that are similar to Yext, but specifically for the hotel/hospitality industry?

I was considering localeze.com, but I'm skeptical because I believe the citations I will be getting there will be similar to the ones I'm getting on Yext.

Any and all suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Bryan,

I'm going to give you an example of one of the site pages after I run it through W3C validator. Would you mind having a look at it and telling me how highly I should prioritize fixing these issues?

The developer I'm working with on this site is telling me that these issues are a very low priority, but as I'm seeing throughout the threads, his lack of interest in repairing these issues is of some concern to me.
