Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Hi

Thank you for the reply. I have looked at User Flow but I tend to get a bit lost in the amount of data and finding exactly what I need.

Can you segment and filter this by landing page?

I can see the drop offs, but not the drop off for new users - or is this report based on new users only?

Thank you!

Amazing thanks!

Thanks, for me I think I want to know what pages people find useful and what ones they don't but with ecommerce it's a bit more difficult.

My overall goal is to provide content the user wants to see on product pages.

On that last point, I thought that when you add code to fire an event when someone has been on a page for X amount of time, if they only access this page, but you've set this event - it won't be counted as a bounce?

I'll read up on the ecommerce tracking too thanks!

Hi Dirk,

Thanks for your response. So are you saying Adjustable Bounce rate is also not beneficial?

I thought that if you took into account the time spent on page, and set these parameters in analytics, that it wouldn't in fact be counted as a bounce?

I'll also look into the content tracking you mentioned - is this also useful for ecommerce? I'm not always expected people to scroll right to the end of pages.

Thanks

Hi

I've been looking at analysing bounce rate in more depth, I wondered what people's views on adjustable bounce rate were? I've been reading this article http://searchenginewatch.com/sew/how-to/2322974/how-to-implement-adjusted-bounce-rate-abr-via-google-tag-manager-tutorial

Is it worth adding this? Or is it just as useful to look at time on page over bounce rate?

Thanks!

Also along these same lines, we're always adding new product pages and over the next few months there will be a large amount of these added.

Is it a problem for Google if a lot of the site has 'thinner' content - in terms of ratio?

Great thanks, yes I have started creating content, we just don't have a huge resource for producing it at the moment. It's something we're working on.

Thanks!

I've been reading a lot today about thin content and what constitutes thin content.

We have an ecommerce site and have to compete with large sites in Google - product pages in terms of content quantity are low and obviously competitors all have similar variations of the same product descriptions.

Does Google still consider ecommerce sites as with thin content as low quality? A product page surely shouldn't have too much content which  doesn't help the user.

My solution to start was to get our customer reviews added to the product pages to help improve the amount of quality content on this page, then move into adding video etc when we have resource.

Thanks

Awesome thanks, I'm on the right track then

Great thanks! I'll give these a read

Hey

This is very helpful thank you. My main issue and motivation for doing this is to add to the thin product content we have on the pages.

I know we need a lot more content in terms of video etc, but I thought reviews could be a place to start. We have reviews already, but they're currently on a third party pop up and not on our site - so won't get crawled.

Thanks for the articles!

Hi

I wondered if anyone knew of any case studies to reinforce the importance of on page reviews for SEO & increasing traffic.

I'd like to push it in my company, however it would be great to show them some results from a case study.

Thank you!

Ok thank you for your input

Hi

Thank you for your comprehensive response.

I see the issue no. 1 which I can get fixed.

Is it an issue for the post URL and the link to be different? Should the ?page=2 redirect to the post request URL? Or can this be left as it is?

I don't work on code so I am not sure how to identify whether there is something wrong here.

Thank you

Hi

I'm trying to workout if there's something wrong with our pagination.

We include the rel="next" and "prev" on our pages.

When clicking on page 2 on a product page, the URL will show as something like -

/lockers#productBeginIndex:30&orderBy:5&pageView:list&

However, if I search site:http://www.key.co.uk/en/key/lockers in Google, it seems to find paginated pages:

http://www.key.co.uk/en/key/lockers?page=2

I have a feeling something is going wrong here, but haven't worked massively on Pagination before. Can anyone help?

Great thank you!

Hi

Does anyone know how to properly add facets URL's to Robots txt?

E.g. of our facets URL -

http://www.key.co.uk/en/key/platform-trolleys-trucks#facet:-10028265807368&productBeginIndex:0&orderBy:5&pageView:list&

Everything after the # will need to be blocked on all pages with a facet.

Thank you

Thank you both for the responses.

The links aren't there for SEO value, more for business purposes but I'm mindful of any negative affects from Google.

Hi

We have a number of sister companies and link to them via a drop down in the footer - are these links as dangerous as anchor text links?

Hi,

Yes we use the SKU's on the other pages too. Thanks for everyone's feedback
