Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Hi there,

Is it a bad idea to use Google related terms when creating internal links? For instance, if I search for 'printing companies chicago', there are at least 3 terms related to our organization and what we provide that appear at the bottom of the search results.

Searches related to printing companies chicago

reliable printing companies chicago
chicago business card printing
chicago printers

Just curious if anyone uses this type of research to build out pages?

And create internal links?

Personally, I am seeing people search for services we offer in different ways - that alone makes me think it should be a major part of our internal linking.

Looking forward to your feedback!

My company relaunched our website about 10 days ago. We kept the same Google Analytics profile and I can still see past URL's and data. I just took a peek back at June 2014.

I have noticed I am unable to go back and review site speed and user experience. It only shows reports for the new pages.

It looks to me as if it is just a matter of sorting by an past period. Just one experience!

Hey all,
We just moved our website to WordPress and trying to compare the new reports we are receiving for page speed/user experience to the old ones.

Looking at dates before the relaunch, it looks as if old site speed reports are unavailable? Does anyone know of a way to recover older reports?

We want to compare the responsive site/new desktop version to the old one (end users would have to "pinch" the screen to look at content on old site).

Thanks in advance if you have any info!!!!

Hi there!

Currently, our site uses underscores "_" within the url structure.  We are moving to Wordpress soon (the site is currently static html) but it will be a couple of months before the migration.

Here is an example of the current structure:

www.oldsitestructure.com/about_us/success_stories/custom_vinyl_banners

When we do change, our url structure will have hyphen's "-" to separate terms, so the preferred new structure will be:

www.oldsitestructure.com/about-us/success-stories/custom-vinyl-banners The entire site (with the exception of our Wordpress blog) currently uses the old structure.

We have about 10 - 15 pages we will add before our migration, my question is:

Should we use the preferred url structure starting NOW or stick with the old one?

And set up 301 redirects are part of the migration process?

Many thanks!
Jon

Hope you are all having a great day! I am wondering if anyone would be able to provide general feedback.  I work for a medium size company in Chicago.

Currently our site is static html and we are seeking to migrate to Wordpress.  After speaking with a number of website companies and receiving proposals, I am trying to understand if there is an approximate going rate or range for moving content from static html to a CMS like Wordpress? i.e. a cost per page?

We don't have any dynamic content.  Most of our pages are text and images.

The site itself, including the blog is around 220 pages.

Thanks in advance for any insight or resources!

Thank you! Will definitely PM you if I start to get lost.

Everyone, thanks for the responses.

I appreciate the info on Broad Match Modifier. reading through it now. Thanks Dave, that's funny I have used the list ChicagoStyle has posted as a resource!

This will end up being a two part question:

We have been running a search marketing campaign for about 45 days.  It seems no matter how many negative keywords we add (over 300 right now), we still are receiving borderline relevant traffic to the broad match ad group.

We are in the printing industry and I think this in itself presents a challenge since there are thousands of competitors in our market, national & local.  People also search for a variety of items, most of which end up having nothing to do with our business (i.e. animal prints, zebra prints etc.)

We are running several different ad groups: one exact match, one broad and one phrase match.

• Does anyone have a resource or links they are willing to share that has general negative terms they use before creating any new campaign? I have ones I have found, but wondering if there is a very good master resource out there.

• How many key phrases do you typically add to an 'Exact Match' ad group?

Thank you!

Hi Miriam,

I appreciate the response and will read through the suggested article.  Thanks for listing out the steps as well.

While there are some older conversations pertaining to Google Local/Plus, I am not sure if issue is a bit different.

The company I work for at one time had two locations.

Both are brick & mortar, physical locations.  The factory closed several years ago.

To my surprise, the old location is coming up in a few Google searches as a Google Plus page (actually just located it toward the end of last week.) It is currently unclaimed.

There are a handful of citations out on the web as well.

To remove the factory listing (the one we don't want, which I am pretty sure is confusing Google), what is the best approach?

• Remove/update citations for the old listing?

• And then claim it and suspend it using our Google Places account?

It took a while to claim the listing we actually want and I just want to be sure we handle removing the old one correctly.

Any insight or advice is appreciated!
