Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Thank you, I posted this to the .htaccess file and it now works. DirectoryIndex index.php

Really really helpful thanks

Keri, Happy belated Thanksgiving! It's been about 3.5 months, so just wanted to give a quick update on this in case anyone else is still having this issue. Unfortunately, we haven't really seen a solution to this but have improved our situation. During the period of September 10-17, we contacted Perfect Audience to see if they were experiencing the same security issues as AdRoll. They confirmed that they too had seen some customers affected by this invalid traffic and so their engineers worked on modifying their tag to "no longer track IE7 traffic" and "blacklist all domains" that the traffic was coming from." Unfortunately, this had no positive effect on our client's traffic issues. Half-way through October, we saw invalid traffic spike once again into the thousands and stay there until around mid-November. Half-way through November, the client migrated to a secure site (HTTPs), which actually made a notable difference in the invalid traffic, causing it to reduce down to, what we might consider, normalized numbers. Although this seemed to help, unfortunately it still didn't completely address the problem. Today, we're still seeing IE7 as the top browser with 95% bounce rate. At this point, we're just left to run filters to exclude the IE7 traffic until this essentially resolves itself (crossing fingers).

Hi Andrew. Sorry its taken me ages to get back to this. but this is a awesome resource, should help you out. http://moz.com/academy/redirects

Awesome responses guys. Anyone else have any other insight?

What you will want to do is search for the external linking sites to see if we have crawled them to find your pages. We do not have to crawl your site to find your backlinks, only the external linking sites. For your campaign settings the correct URL needs to contain www. The current campaign is added as the root domain and since it re-directs to the sub-domain, our tool is only looking to track the root domain version. The campaign will need to be re-created to track www.automationanywhere.com/testing/ and not automationanywhere.com/testing/

You're welcome. Then do what the big giants do. Redirect each domain to the appropriate page in your main domain: product-domain.com 301 redirects to domain.com/product-page

It doesn't really matter that much if you use the alt text, and title well to describe the image. However, I always recommend (and do it myself) renaming the image to match the title, in your case something like orange-campervan-cornwall-uk.jpg. Always use dashed to separate words, not underscores

I can only say that I would not use it for my own content.

I would disagree to an extent. Whist it may be a factor if you go buy an old domain and build new content on it Google pretty much treats it as a new domain and along with that if all the links going to that domain are for example about cats and your domain is about dogs you're making your life harder. Matt Cutts mentioned here that its not something you should worry about, now while he neither confirms it, nor denies it what it does indicate are there are other areas to focus on. So in short if the domain is the same niche and the links already built are a benefit the the user (who may get to your site from those links) then it should be fine but at the same time is it worth the risk of moving a whole site? There are many good ways of indexing a site which is a lot easier than a redirect. Work on the content of your site, get it shared (even socially) and you will find it ranks quicker (also try 'Fetch as Google') than just redirecting a domain to it (or visa versa) Hope that helps.

Yes it does - thank you!

Thanks Chris. I plan to move forward. God I hope I don't ever have to do this again.

Hello! Keri is correct in our tools regenerating a fresh report if new information is collected and to add more clarification, this will include data that isn't built into the custom report as our tool does not have a way to identify which modules are awaiting data. I don't believe there will be an update with this behavior as we want to be on the safe side to make sure reports are generated than none at all. Hope this helps!

Hi Sarah You will end up with two Google + pages, One Google Business Page and also a Google+ Page. The Google Business page is very important as this is the one that will be verifyed to your website and old Google Places pages.  It is very very confusing.  All our posts on Google Plus go to our page and not to our Business and there is no way to join the too Google have just launched a new update which starts to map locally to Business pages via local search, for example Timberyard London.  This then also brings in all your Google+ Business info, maps etc. Join a few of the groups and recommended is "Google+ Resource", you have to request to join and they are really helpful.  Create circles and share content from your sites via G+ on your site. Google Plus is very much part of Google search too, so if members of your circles are logged into Google plus too, then when you post, you posts up in any related search results, normally quite high on page 1. Worth researching and learning more to get the most out of G+, as it looks like it is going to be very important in Googles effort to keep content fresh, new and unique.

That's a good point. It's a residual, so the first year may not be horrific. However, if I compile over 5 years, I could definitely see where we could better target our efforts. Thanks for the insights and the clarification! Ruben

Ugh... Yeah just log into your Google acct and go to that link I sent and have them call you. They called me right away when I went that route.

From a web development standpoint I use them I actually have 2 bookmarked both at home and at work. http://mxtoolbox.com/SuperTool.aspx http://dnscheck.pingdom.com/ The reason I use them is to test how a website / dns is behaving from IP's other then my own. I've had cases where I could not access a website from my address yet it was able to be accessed from another. By using pings and tracerts you can help understand if there is a network issue in the route or if you tripped an internal IP block. The two I listed have many other useful features that help.  MXtoolbox also shows you if your website has been flagged in a blacklist as spam. To answer if they they are worth it? Well, I've never purposely clicked an ad, if you're looking at it from a revenue generation standpoint, however they do offer services that I am sure mid ranged companies would be very interested in knowing, like when your site goes down. Just my thoughts hope that helps

Thank you for answering my question.
