Bypassing Google, Data Highlighter and Webmaster tools

[Bio-RadAbs]

eLLo!

Has anyone used Data Highlighter? I've had colleagues mentioning a jump in CTR after using the data highlighter on pages.

Thought I'll do the same and went into my webmaster tools but I've hit a brick wall. Whenever I highlight a product page, my country selector pops up and I'm unable to highlight a product page.

A colleague of mine mentioned to bypass google by basing it on user agent, this will allow you to avoid the country selector. But if I bypass Google, wouldn't it affect Google Analytics, Indexing etc?

Hi Cyto,

I think the only way you're going to know the answer for sure to this is to try it. Fortunately, the Data Highlighter allows you to markup one page at a time if you want, so I'd suggest choosing a handful of pages and try it on just those first. Measure the results and proceed based on those results. You've probably already considered this, but just thought I'd give it a mention. Cheers,

Dana
