Welcome to the Q&A Forum

I have not looked into it much, but I believe google attribution was released to address this issue. There are also 3rd party solutions out there for getting a full picture of all of the touch points leading up to a conversion. I have looked at bizible, but it would certainly depend to the size of your company, budget and what you would like to be able to do with the conversion data.

Thanks James, None of them looks like spam, my target URL is all from our Social Media. Twitter, Google Plus, Linkedin, Pinterest, Facebook ... We use ''Hootsuite'' to  shrink the URL and post in to our social media, is that maybe we having this problem now?

Hey! Yeah you forgot to close some objects + arrays. This is at least validating but please make sure your objects are correct:

Hi, Occasionally you might see Google does this where they will return a URL and as part of the description, show a hashed anchor - but they won't show just an anchor as a result in its own right. It will always form part of the page that Google returns. Worth doing if you think it might help usability but it wouldn't fit for every page and circumstance. Have seen it used to good effect, but am seeing less and less of these. -Andy

Hi James In three weeks they went from first page to not in top 50, all of them gradually... Things started to go a bit worse in terms of rankings and organic traffic in April (Fred update), but I have nothing wrong in search console. Link profile is "more or less" clean, analyzed in January... The only thing that comes to my mind could be this sponsored blog articles or some affiliates I just identified with tons of links with commercial anchor text and not good sites (kind of networks). I´m gonna transform all these in nofollow and see what happens... Thanks for your help

Everything we made perfect even our google plus logo also. Still it's not picking from those sources.

Hi, For ease of use, I always try to advise that any link is updated if it is clear that it has been redirected, but unless the subject has changed, it really shouldn't make any difference. If you have a link from your site to an article about breeding caterpillars and the target site then change this to something about feeding habits of polar bears, this is a link I would change. Top and bottom line, if the link makes sense, you will be fine. -Andy

Hi Alix It will solve your problems as long as you make sure all Meta is completed and that content is separated and those pages noindexed and removed as I said. This is what is causing your duplication. Glad to help Regards Nigel

No I would use Google analytics. "If you use Google Analytics to track your site's traffic, you can verify your site using the Google Analytics tracking code associated with the site. To do this, you must have "edit" permission for the web property whose tracking code is used by that page. Also, your tracking code must use the new asynchronous snippet." Thanks

Hi there, Thanks for the question. It can be a challenge to build links to an ecommerce website, particularly if you're selling products which are widely available and not very link-worthy in their own right. The guide suggested by Rayflexgroup by Backlinko is certainly a good starting point, as well as a few others: https://moz.com/blog/building-deep-links-into-ecommerce-pages - it's a few years old but worth seeing if any of the tactics are relevant for you at the moment. https://moz.com/blog/creative-link-building-for-ecommerce-sites https://geoffkenyon.com/ecommerce/link-building/ A few other things I'd suggest: Look wider than just your products to look at your audience and what their issues, problems or concerns are. Then create content around those and look to build links into these. This takes time and you need to put a lot of effort in, but essentially you need to "surround" all of your products and categories with genuinely useful content which is as good as it can possibly be. You won't "go viral" with this kind of content but it will have the ability to pick up links over time. Depending on your niche, spoof products can work well. A few examples are here and while these were not link building plays, they certainly generated links and attention. Also look at the people at your company and their story - do you have a founder or CEO who is open to talking to business press or websites about business growth or retail trends? This can work well and get links from the kinds of sites that your competitors may not think of. I hope that helps!

Thanks for your response!  We've had this particular client in the Open Site Explorer for several months now, so I'm not sure if the time it takes to index is the issue.  I've attached a screenshot of what we see and what we share with out clients.  It looks like all of the other metrics are being gathered correctly, it's just internal links that aren't working.  Are there any possible causes for this?

That's what I thought. Thanks!

If this is helpful at all - if I do a search for the keyword you specified in an incognito window, your client ranks 6th for me (I'm in the UK) - I don't work in your industry, so I think your client is simply ranked quite well for this search term in Google. In Bing they rank 14th for me.
