Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Thanks Ryan...and just to follow up on this - got the mobile site working in a folder - Do I need to create a separate sitemap.xml for the mobile section of the website or do I just include the mobile pages on my current sitemap?

Thank you!

Ah, there we go. Perfect. Thank you Ryan -  Guess I should have done a bit more research before asking

I appreciate it!

Greetings all,

I'm starting to build a mobile version of our website to be ready for April 21st.

Question is: is it absolutely necessary to have a mobile domain name or can I just direct users to same domain/folder? in other words:  www.mywebsite.com/mobile vs m.mywebsite.com - does this even matter?

As always, thank you!

Agreed! Thank you for that Massimiliano. Definitely a lack of deeper browsing is of concern.

Thank you sir. That makes sense.

Click calculates bounce rates based on time spent on a page AND interaction with that page. < 30 seconds on a page is a bounce to Clicky.

I appreciate your answer.

Hello Mozzers,

I was wondering if anyone could share some insight into how Google calculates bounce rates vs other analytics out there.

We use both Google analytics and Clicky here. I've made several changes and additions to the website in hopes to increase traffic, optimization and reduce bounce rates. So far so good on all fronts. However I do notice bounce rates are way higher on google analytics than Clicky. While I get a bounce rate of 20%-29% on Clicky, Google has me way up the 50's or 60%s.

I've read a few articles on it but I'm still a bit confused.

Thanks!

Hi Erin, thank you for your response. Ok that makes sense.

I appreciate it!

Hello!

I ask because it has happened before (and again this morning) that after doing a crawl test and repairing my site per the errors found in Moz's crawl test it still finds the same error. Even though I fixed them.

Typically I do a re-crawl 6 hours after or the next day and I find the same errors. I know they are fixed because a couple of days go by and finally Moz gets it right.

I had understood that the crawl test was an "on-demand" crawl of sorts, granted with limit of 2 a day. But it seems that if you re-crawl your site within a day the same results yield? It's frustrating.

Is this correct?

Thank you!
