  • I want to do this in multiple websites. To give you an example, here's a great tool I've found: Atomic Email Hunter If you can suggest other similar tools, that would be great. Thanks!

  • Hey YNWA What a nightmare! Yes like Mat said... use http://mxtoolbox.com/blacklists.aspx to check and monitor your domain. If the emails are going to spam, you are more than likely listed somewhere. You can find where the domain in  question is listed and (once you've corrected the issue) submit to be removed. NOTE: The sites that require you to pay a fee to be removed are not important and you can disregard them. Only submit to the main ones. Those do not make you pay to play. Good luck!!

  • Rob has answered this perfectly. However, I would add, don't try to spread yourself too thinly. In my experience (by no means extensive btw) I've found PPC to be a bit of a numbers game - you need quite a lot of clicks before you get a conversion. I suggest you try a remarketing campaign if you only have a low budget as the clicks are often cheaper, and the traffic highly targeted (and has been exposed to your brand previously, so more likely to convert). When I set up our remarketing lists/campaigns I found this article incredibly helpful: http://www.ppchero.com/ultimate-guide-to-adwords-remarketing/ I've been running remarketing campaigns for several months, and whilst the ctr is considerably lower than search campaigns, the conversion rate is as high or higher, and of course the cost per click is minuscule in comparison. I find it a cost effective solution and helps convert traffic that may never have revisited the website otherwise. Depending on how much traffic your website gets, you may have to wait a while for the lists to populate, so I'd set some up anyway, as you may want to switch it on during a busy period (such as mothers day if you sell flowers, or christmas if you sell gifts - whatever works for your business) - better to have something up your sleeve and never use it than want to use it and have to wait! Good luck and best wishes, Amelia

  • Hmm, tough spot you're in there. When you create a new container in GTM it assigns a unique container ID for that container - I don't think there is a way to revert back to an already deleted container, unfortunately.

  • Thank you! Jim I was not aware of the moz tool amazingly enough.

  • There are some pretty good suggestions here, though I think we have your extreme case (50 pages) covered as well. Advanced Web Ranking can record results about as deep as you would like to go. Though you will have to 'tune' AWR and likely employ some proxies to get those results without being blocked. Settings>Performance>General Performance Settings (in the second drop down) I haven't used this utility in a couple of years, but it can go about as deep and wide as you need - on the spot - if you use proxy IP addresses. I used it to report on 200K+ total keywords (I'm glad those days are done-ish.), with one report comprising about 30K KW. That report took a bit of tweaking to avoid being blocked.

  • Thanks Ray for answering so quickly. It is custom Wordpress website. A basic FAQ is good enough. Thanks Again

  • Hi Ram Is this you? I found it searching Google: https://wordpress.org/support/topic/why-my-site-getting-soft-404-errors-from-search-term-on-404-page-showing-in-gwt - and thought it would be helpful to know the actual site (and there's some more details in your thread there). Anyhow, this is the URL getting a soft 404: https://akclinics.org/search/{search_term}/ (because you are showing a 200 OK, but there really is no content there, and looks like a 404 to the user) You mention it's linked from here: https://akclinics.org/search/{search_term}/ But the question is - where is that linked from? I've crawled the entire site and can't find a reference to that URL anywhere. You're normal search URL looks like this (even if the query is empty): https://akclinics.org/?s= It shows the proper ?s= parameter. So somehow, it looks like Google is finding and crawling the wrong search URL. It's using /search/%7Bsearch_term%7D/ instead of /?s= - even for an empty query. Maybe this was the old search URL for your old site? The fix I think is to: find out where / why Google can access /search/%7Bsearch_term%7D/ remove any links or references to /search/%7Bsearch_term%7D/  and/or redirect it to /?s= OR just return a real 404 code for /search/%7Bsearch_term%7D/ Let me know if that makes sense.

  • It's not through an iframe, it's even easier than that. What you usually do to trigger an pageview in Google Analytics is: ga('send', 'pageview'); to do a virtual pageview you could do the same, but it's more valuable to provide a third value: ga('send', 'pageview', '/completed-form'); so you can easily find and set the goal. Does it make sense?

  • Google Tag Manager is a great tool that almost anyone can begin to use easily. Before GTM, webmasters used to have to pay for similar services, but now Google has given us a tool for free. Tags are pieces of code, for example the Google Analytics javascript snippet that allows use to track visitors and populates your Google Analaytics data. Many plugins and website features are delivered through tags. More examples would be slideshows (nivo slider), share buttons (add this), link & event tracking (google analytics event tracking), conversion pixels (affiliates, goal conversions), javascript/css files, and many more. One of the biggest issues is that a robust website (hell, even simple websites) begins to have many tags added to a page to deliver all the desired functionality. Those tags begin to bloat a web page, decrease page load speed, and cause usability problems. In addition, it becomes very difficult to properly manage all those tags at a large scale. The Google Tag manager provides a central location to add and manage all of these tags easily. You can specify when tags should be added to a page, when they should fire, and other important rules to optimize the placement and execution of these tags. GTM takes this even further and allows us to easily manage additional functionality through the interface, such as the link and event tracking mentioned above. I highly recommend that you learn how to use the GTM and its benefits. Here is a wonderful guide that OptimizeSmart put together for the GTM. http://www.optimizesmart.com/google-tag-manager-implementation-guide/

  • A popular (and free!) tool (for up to 10 questions I believe) is SurveyMonkey. I have created a Pinterest board with some pretty helpful conversion optimization resources on it if you're interested.

  • I don't know any specific to the auto sales industry, but I have worked with a lot of people in similar scenarios (ie: vacuum parts - lots of sku's, items, inventory) - and they have been pretty happy with Magento. You're probably familiar with it already though
