Thanks Devin.

If i understood you correctly, GA is attributing the visit to a different keyword ( other than "business engagement in outsourcing" )

Thanks Ryan. I would also go with the second article. But as you mentioned, its difficult to trust one source over another. I will be waiting for the results of your test.  Here is another link.

http://www.google.com/support/forum/p/Google%20Analytics/thread?tid=0d04370f123bc16c&hl=en  on the same topic, which suggests that  first keyword will show 1 visit, and the second keyword 0 visits. ( Again contradicting seomoz post )

The keyword  "business engagement in outsourcing" shows 0 visits. I have a look at Seomoz post at - http://www.seomoz.org/blog/advanced-google-analytics. According to it,

"If someone makes more than one visit to a site within the same "session" and each visit comes from a search but on different keywords, then both keywords will be included in the keywords report - the first with 0 visits and the second with 1 visit"

In my  GA report, i could only see 0 visit for the above keyword. Why is 1 visit not being shown ?

On reading the blog, http://webanalysis.blogspot.com/2008/04/google-analytics-tips-and-tricks-why-do.html#axzz1UPqhMV7o

i am more confused, as it says "Google Analytics, assigns the visitors activity to the first keyword " . which is NOT what seomoz suggests

Let me be specific.

I want to track this url - http://www.ultraseo.com/how-to-get-web-site-traffic-from-facebook/

I generated the following URL using URL builder -

http://www.ultraseo.com/how-to-get-web-site-traffic-from-facebook/?utm_source=Twitter&utm_medium=social%2Bmedium&utm_campaign=Ultraseo

Should i now pass it through a URL shortener bitLy or googles own. and tweet it.

Is this what i should do ? Please reply ...

This is the URL i want to tweet  - http://www.ultraseo.com/how-to-get-web-site-traffic-from-facebook/

Should the link be like this -

http://www.ultraseo.com/how-to-get-web-site-traffic-from-facebook/?medium=twitter&date=08043011

1 ) is it necessary to include http ( you have mentioned www )

2 ) any correction required in above url ?

3 ) is it necessary to include the date ?

Thanks for your time and patience.

This is the twitter page of our company  http://twitter.com/UltraSEO

I need to link to an article on our site and tweet the article on company's twitter page.  The article in question is http://www.ultraseo.com/how-to-get-web-site-traffic-from-facebook/

what link should i tweet ?  Should it be http://twitter.com/UltraSEO?utm_source=Twitter&utm_medium=Social%2Bmedia&utm_campaign=Ultraseo ( generated this using URL builder )

If you could make things a bit clear, i would very much appreciate it.

"If you don't care what tweet the visitor comes from then you can just see it in GA"

I suppose this can be done in   Traffic sources > All traffic sources. Am i right ?

"You need to build a new url for each tweet" Please guide me on this. I am not that technical and relatively new to SEO Compared to you heavyweights. That's why you often see silly questions from me ...

I really, really would like to know what specific tweet traffic was generated.

Will be back in about 45 minutes. Its lunch time in my office...

You mean to say  Traffic sources > All traffic sources report in GA will show no. of visits to my Twitter profile.

Actually, i read this at http://www.ehow.com/how_8547532_track-twitter-data-analytics.html

I wanted to know what to do in step 7 ?

I would like to track twitter traffic to my account in GA. After going through the step in the help tutorial about how to do it, I managed to generate this url ( with the help of url builder )

http://twitter.com/UltraSEO?utm_source=Twitter&utm_medium=Social%2BMedia&utm_campaign=Ultraseo

Now what should i do next ?  Please help.  How can i track visits to my twitter profile ?

There was an seomoz article  -  http://www.seomoz.org/blog/does-query-deserves-diversity-algorithm-exist-at-google . I would like to point out the specific part of it -

"So - because a lot of searchers express a preference for more diverse results than just those pages that ordinarily would "make the cut," Google provides an extra helping hand to pages they feel help to satisfy those searchers. This data could be gleaned from lower CTRs in the SERPs, greater numbers of query refinements, and even a high percentage of related searches performed subsequently"

I don;t understand how data could be gleaned from lower CTRs, don't you think it should have been Higher CTRs ?

Thanks. I understood your point.

Can we use geographic targetting for the spanish version (  http://www.comtranslations.com/Principal.html )  in Google webmaster tools ?

Thanks for your response.

Why is it good to have a url like domain.com/es/

Is last  slash necessary ? or can it be    domain.com/es

Hi,

A client has given us the site  http://www.comtranslations.com/Home.html  for optimization. He wants to optimize only the spanish part ( the link is on the top right ).  By clicking on the link Espanol, the url opened is -  http://www.comtranslations.com/Principal.html. He wants seo for this website for spanish  keywords.

The keywords are -

Traducción
Traductor
traducir español inglés
traducción

My question is how do we go about this ?

Shall we purchase a software that translates spanish to english ?

Thanks
