Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Hi Chris,

thanks a lot for your helpful answer! This helped a lot.

May I ask, as a followup-question what you think about having slideshows in the header, as seen on http://www.viventura.de/gruppenreisen/t/viyoung?
Besides the fact that here the text keeps annoyingly disappearing on image change (certainly not good): do you have any opinion on pro and cons of image slideshows in header pictures?

Thanks again and many greetings from Germany!

Hi,

what do you reckon of taking away the mouseover effect on the header pictures seen on www.viventura.de/reisen/peru?
We are thinking of eliminating the mouseover text to make User Experience even better but are worrying that our ranking might go down when doing so. Any experiences, any help is highly appreciated!
Thanks,

Benno

Hello,

I'm worried that all my organic traffic has disappeared according to Analytics from past friday and now Google is showing results from my title tags in the last days as you can see here: http://goo.gl/QFSgy

Is there any additional resources I can read apart from Google Clean Your site Guidelines here https://support.google.com/webmasters/answer/163634 or the Wordpress FAQ for hacked sites here? http://codex.wordpress.org/FAQ_My_site_was_hacked

Very much appreciated all of your help!

Regards.

This same thing is happening to me right now. I have two projects: One in English and one in German and they are getting totally different results.

I have pretty much tried with everything: wistia, vimeo and dailymotion I got all of the videos on my sitemap BUT they were indexed in different times: first two of them and then the last one. I have noticed that sometimes Google shows the video snippets and sometimes its ignored.

The rankings for those keywords are being also very unestable.  I tried  also to put flash videos on my German language project and they also got indexed because I put them on my video sitemap but now in this precise moment I was testing if putting a video for a page that was on first position could get a higher CTR with the video snippet but guess what... currently my #1 ranking position is now out of the 100 positions. CHAOS!

I guess at this moment Google is trying to figure out whether to show up or not a video snippet and our page for a keyword in a language where there were never a video snippet. SO Confusing! Also found out that your rankings definitely drop when they were at the top 3 positions even they can drop to the second or third page but at this moment they are trying to get their past position. I will have to keep a big eye on this.

If you guys got more insight and ideas for me to get my video snippets with more stability let me know!

P.S in case you want to check my keyword and URL that was #1 and dropped out of the 100 results its the German word "Peru Reisen" my page is http://www.viventura.de/reisen/peru

Thanks

Dear Mozzers,

who can help me on this. I'm looking for a (PRO) Shortener, that will work with my personal domain, where I can directly add the Google Anatocy Tagging (utm_source / utm_medium, etc..)

Do you know a service that provides this?

Thanks, andre

I have spent quit some time now, trying to figure this out. I wannt to segment landingoage traffic to the longtail content. That's content in the 3rd or 4th subdirectorylevel. I would like to do that by saying google: "Just show me traffic that arrives on landingpages with 3 OR 4 slashes "/"

But I can't get a solution, can anybody help in the seoMOZ community?

Hi Keri, thanks for your specifc answer, this really helps!

This is an excellent post. But I couldn't find out one thing: all examples show the whle URL and I wonder if it's a problem to show a relative path instead is a problem?

An example:

you are on www.domain.com/articles/articles1.htm

and you would like to Recl Connical to

you are on www.domain.com/articles/articles2.htm

Now, would both of these get it done right?

Thanks, Andre
