I have compared my traffic from Jan-15 to Dec-15 and found traffic increased but pageviews decreased on few pages. Is this any issue?

How does Indeed.com make it to the top of every single search despite of having duplicate content. I mean somewhere google says they will prefer original content & will give preference to them who have original content but this statement contradict when I see Indeed.com as they aggregate content from other sites but still rank higher than original content provider side.

How does Indeed.com make it to the top of every single search despite of having aggregated content or duplicate content

Hi Umar,

Thanks for a quick reply. Could you kindly brief - what kind of crawling issues were those. Any suggestions - from where should we start and what should we look at to solve this.

Hi,

"Null" is appearing as top keyword in Google search console > Google Index > Content Keywords for our site http://goo.gl/cKaQ4K . We do not use "null" as keyword on site. We are not able to find why Google is treating "null" as a keyword for our site. Is anyone facing such issue.

Thanks & Regards

It should not be. check your page load time. If pages takes longer to load than google bot may bounce off. Check your webmaster tool as see if there are any server errors showing.

We have pages that are not linked from site yet they are indexed in Google. It could be possible if Google got these pages from browser. Does Google takes data from chrome?

Hi Erica,

Many Thanks for responding.

You have suggested to use utm parameters in urls while doing internal linking. however the utm parameters are used to track campaigns like adwords paid program. Can utm parameters be used for tracking internal linking. If yes, what will be the campaign source & campaign medium.

Will if affect the rankings if we have only dynamic tracking urls interlinked and the corresponding static urls are not linked from anywhere on the site.

Regards

Hi,

Will interlinking our internal pages using dynamic parameters(like abc.com/property-in-noida?source=footer) help us in increasing our rankings for linked pages OR we should use static urls for interlinking

Regards

Hi Erica,

Thanks for your suggestions however i am not very clear with the same.

Do you mean interlinking will not improve the rankings or linking tracking urls(not static urls) will not help in rankings.

Answer to your question - We are linking the pages since these are related pages & we expect these pages would be of interest to users. We are not able to track the click rate right now on these related links due to which we wanted to add tracking parameters(Case 2 in my question) to these links.

Hi Guys,

Could you kindly help us in choosing best approach out of mentioned below 2 cases.

Case. 1 -We are using: We interlink our static pages(www.abc.com/jobs-in-chennai) through footer, navigation & by showing related searches. Self referential Canonical tags have been implemented.

Case. 2 -We plan to use: We interlink our Dynamic pages(www.abc.com/jobs-in-chennai?source=footer) through footer, navigation & by showing related searches. Canonical tags have been implemented on dynamic urls pointing to corresponding static urls

Query 1. Which one is better & expected to improve rankings.

Query 2. Will shifting to Case 2 negatively affect our existing rankings or traffic.

Regards

My site has 10 lakh approx. genuine urls. But due to some unidentified bugs site has created irrelevant urls 10 million approx.  Since we don’t know the origin of these non-relevant links, we want to redirect or remove all these urls. Please suggest is it good to redirect such a high number urls to home page or to throw 404 for these pages.  Or any other suggestions to solve this issue.
