Same situation.

I initially thought it was anomaly also, however it's been hanging around for almost a month now.

I just would've expected it to drop some rankings already, wouldn't you?

but it's not an exact match domain!

Thank you both for taking the time to answer however I'm not convinced with your answers. Domain age by itself is not really a powerful ranking factor (http://www.searchenginejournal.com/domain-age-how-important-is-it-for-seo/7296/); if a domain has been around for a while it's generally acquired authority through links and social shares, these are the key factors with domain age.

The title does match the keyword I'm searching but there is absolutely no other content on the page.

SEOmoz may not be Google but it's only a pagerank 1 site according to my SEO book toolbar.

It just doesn't seem right, and I'm convinced there is something spammy going on here. If this is legit SEO, why isn't everyone doing the same?

thanks again

I do SEO for a legal site in the UK and one of the keywords I'm targeting is 'Criminal Defence Solicitors'. If you search this term in Google.co.uk this site comes top www.cdsolicitors.co.uk,  yet in my mozbar it has 0 links, 0 DA etc, I noticed it top a few weeks ago and thought something spammy was going on; I thought if I was patient, Google would remove it, however it still hasn't.

Can someone explain how it is top in the SERPs? I've never seen this before.

thanks

Thanks Joram,

I will take a look into that and get back to you. Definitely sounds feasible though.

Hi David,

Apologies, in my haste I didnt take in it was the engine page. I hole heartedly agree with the other comments made here. I would also add that, although not the be all and end all, you may find that linking out to to other sites may help the page get indexed as well. If there are any additional, authoritative resources (that are not competition) it may be worth linking to a few of these. Adds value to the user as well.

Hi David,

When you first load the "Car Page"  http://www.carbuzz.co.uk/car-chooser only the first few cars show. THe rest are only accessible when you scroll down the page which then activates some AJAX (i think) which loads more cars i the listing.

I suspect this has something to do with is. The bots cant access the "more" listings.

You could use an HTML sitemap on the site to help them get indexed but it would be better if the pages were linked to by default from the listings page.

I wonder if someone can help me understand some data I'm seeing in Google Analytics.

SetUp

Goal with 3 step Funnel

Date Comparison is 1st-8th September & 1st-8th June

The Data (pics attached)

Looking at the Goal Conversion Rate I can see:

September - 11.58% vs June - 10.42% an increase which Google shows as (+11.18%)

For same time period Abandonment Rate is showing

September - 71.3% vs June - 61.5% - an increase which Google shows as (+16.5%)

The Questions

How can I bee seeing both an increase in conversion rate AND and increase in Abandonment rate on the funnel?

And why doesnt "(Conversion Rate + Abandonment Rate) = 100%" ?

Many thanks for any help!
