Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Hi,

Asking this on behalf of a client:"I know Google recommends setting up a separate GA property for AMP which they note in a few places:https://developers.google.com/analytics/devguides/collection/amp-analytics/https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/6343176?hl=en
From what we can tell this is because the tracking for AMP will measure things differently than the current analytics.js library. I also think it's related to the GA cookie and how it's set differently for AMP pages.But won't this cause drop-off in user journey information? For example, if a user views an AMP blog article but then clicks to our site from a link within the article. I think we would then track this as two separate users and the pages/visit would be off. I found this article which explains a tech way to connect AMP to the same website GA property but it seems a little too much of a work-around:https://www.simoahava.com/analytics/google-analytics-client-id-amp-pages/

Do you think we should just do what Google recommends and set up AMP as a separate property in GA?"

--> Does anyone know if there could be any issues with this workaround?Thanks,

Yes, for different pages with older content we have recommended to hide them from Google. This specific page, however, could is highly relevant to their audience and we want their audience to be able to find it so we don't just want to hide it. We have looked for solutions on the help forum but haven't found anything relevant to this issue.

Does anyone know if there is a way to tell Google that our website is safe to avoid this problem in general?

Or is it just a matter of finding other relevant keywords and synonyms that are currently not being used to see if that will help Google better understand the topic of this page?

Or could there be another problem that we're missing?

A client of ours is increasingly getting a lot of adult traffic to their site, where they show up only for adult searches and not at all for relevant searches. How can we stop Google associating their site with adult content?

Here's a blog example, giving advice to parents on girls and body image issues:

https://www.commonsensemedia.org/blog/girls-and-body-image

keywords driving traffic to this page are all around images for 'young nude girls' etc.

What is the best way to combat previous website stability issues?

We had page load time and site stability problems over the course of several months. As a result our keyword rankings plummeted.  Now that the issues have been resolved, what's the best/quickest way to regain our rankings on specific keywords?

Thanks,

Eric

Does anyone know if Mark and Barry's answers still hold true (nearly 1 year later)?

We have a disproportionate amount of NoFollowed Linking Root Domains and I'm worried that it's having a negative effect on our rankings.

Thanks!
