Hey Sarwan,

A bounce rate can be defined as a percentage of sessions/(visits) where only one interaction occurs. It's actually measured by a first arrival of a visitor, and if there isn’t a second interaction within next 30 minutes – it counts as “a Bounce”."

So, in this way, if you're viewing a page, and leaves your browser idle or left that page open for longer than 30 mins, it will register as a bounce. And, if you continues to navigate after this delay, a new session will occur. Same applies, if you keep open the tab for a whole day.

See the attitude image for more understanding.

Hope this clear your confusion!

Hey Luke,

You're right. The same URL principle implies on the images URL. And, I really do not think putting images in subdomains is a very good idea. You also need to avoid the typical images names like DSC4566.jpg rather you should go with something meaningful that contains your keywords like /images/Burj-Khalifa-largest-building-world.jpg  -----  (I am in Dubai these days :p)

Hope this helps!

Christina,

Although it's seems kind of illegal activity but I'm telling you with confidence that there are thousands of IT companies operating in this manner. They put all the infos on websites including; Physical address, zip code, phone numbers (Skype number) everything..

Virtual offices works in a very smart way.. They delivered and respond to every query they receive regarding your business to you. Even, I have worked with the company who had virtual office and their google local listings were all perfectly placed. The problem arises when you have to change your virtual address due to any reason and then the cleaning mess starts.

So be careful!

Hope this helps!

Hey Anirban,

There was some DNS and server problems that causing the crawling issues. Have you checked your crawl report in Search Console?

Hey,

Yes I did face this issue sometimes ago and figured it out it was due to crawling issues. We solved all of them and resubmitted the sitemap and it's started showing up the data after a day or two.

By the way, SEMRush could help you with organic ranked keywords data of yours. (A temporarily solution till you resolve this)

Hope this helps!

Hey John,

Yes it's becoming a common practice as it looks good. The problem with the infinitive scrolling is the use of Java Script. As we all know, Google does not read java script really well so it only reads your top section of page and ignore the scrolling area.

For the best practice, it's suggested to use pagination with scrolling. There is also a plugin available that take care of this issue but I haven't used it yet. It's called "infinite ajax scroll".

Check out these resources for clearer understanding and implications:
