Hi Matt,

301 redirect should not have effect on QS becaus the landing page is the web page the user lands after all redirects. Both the pages are same (design, content) so landing page below average is not due to 301 redirects.

Remember that the most important "component" of the QS is CTR.*

Hope that helps

Thanks

Hi Gabe,

Yes you are right [city name]wedding.photography as domain name wouldn't be a good idea because it looks spammy. Second option is better.

Thanks

Hi Erick,

In your case 301 redirection is the only option because you want to pass link juice canonical doesn't work in that case. If your partner doesn't care about link juice then you can put few do follow anchor text links on important keywords to your website.

Hope this helps.

Thanks

Hi Rajiv,

Use this ga('send','event','category','action'); tracking will work, you can test by clicking yourself on the link.

Hope this helps.

Hi,

No that is not mandatory. You can use that one which gives detailed idea of your products/services.

Hi Justin,

I have also gone through the same case that you are exactly facing now now I'm telling you how I handled this.

I have started PPC campaign with purpose of keyword research and search volume so I have started with very low daily budget and my aim was to appear on page one only at (e.g position 5-7) because I don't want users to click on my ad frequently, just wanted to know the number of impression for each keyword.

I have run campaign for 3 months and I spend less that $100 and I got several new keywords to target with high search volume and low competition.

So If you can run campaign only for new keyword research that will be helpful for you and it won't cost you much.

I presume you are aware of search term list in Google search console (Google webmaster tools).

If you have semrush paid account you can find organinc and paid keywords of your competitors and many more things.

I'm sharing one article how can you use semrush tool effectively.

Hope this helps you.

Hi,

Yes Google doesn't permit to do cross linking - "Link to me and I'll link to you". If those links are no followed then that is fine and also make sure that anchor text should be your brand not any keyword..

Hope this helps.

Thanks

Hi,

I think you are doing wrong because you are using tripadvisor.com as destination URL.

You can track affiliate clicks using event tracking. I'm sharing  a video tutorial link for this @ http://www.matthewwoodward.co.uk/tutorials/how-to-track-anything-with-google-analytics/

*****You have to change on thing only from above tutorial -onclick="_gaq.push(['_trackEvent', 'category', 'action', 'label']);"  to  onClick="ga('send','event','category','action');"

Or if you have difficulty use this tool to create the event tracking code @ https://gaconfig.com/google-analytics-event-tracking/affiliate-link/

Hope this helps.

Hi Amelia,

If you are running PPC campaign on Google Adwords you should try Call-only Campaign launched by Google in Feb 15.

Call-only campaigns allow you to focus on getting more people to click-to-call you straight from your ads.

In case of organic you can define CTA in meta title / meta description & on website as well.

Thanks

Hi,

Where do you want to use capital letters? in meta title tag?

Thanks

Hi Margaret,

I'm running shopping campaign for Google since long time and i found it if you violate any shopping campaign policy your campaign will suspended and if you do repeat violation your account/site will be banned for any kind of advertisement.

So I would suggest you to not use watermark images, Google won't accept this and I don't think any one here will help/suggest you to violate the Google policy.

Hope this helps.

Thanks

Hi,

You can set Goals for Events (instead of Pages). The only thing you need to do is send an event after success.

An event can be:

1. Downloading a file
2. Loading of Ajax, JavaScript or flash contents
3. Loading of a dynamically generated webpage
4. Loading of pop-ups, light boxes
5. Loading of a flash video on a webpage
6. Scrolling down the page
7. Viewing of a flash video
8. Viewing video footage of certain length
9. Clicking on a video’s play/pause/stop button
10. Interaction with a gadget
11. Clicking on an image or a link
12. Abandonment of a form
13. Log-ins

Hi,

If you are hiring a PPC company then finding keyword would be the job of that PPC company. As you have mentioned that you have 10 years GA data so you should share the profitable keyword list to PPC company.

**Use BMM keywords to find long tail keywords and SEMrush will also helpful to find competitors low cost & profitable keywords.

I am running PPC campaign on both Adwords and Bing and my personal experience is cpc is less on Bing with significant revenue so you must try Bing. In fact I would suggest you to first try on Bing because you have mentioned that your budget is not very high.

Hope this helps.

Thanks
