Welcome to the Q&A Forum

I'm looking into landing pages now. trying to find a decent plugin for call to action and landing pages. l looked at inbound now but the bad reviews gave me concern

I've made some recent changes to adwords. Periodically google calls me up to review my adwords.  Ultimately it is my responsibility but somewhere along the way the recommended spending more on display and some of the categories weren't the best choice. I think I've been creating my own spam traffic somewhat.  Someone reviewed my site and recommended I institute remarketing on search, reallocation of the budget to favor search, and to pause some text display ads that were driving low quality traffic.  I hope it helps

Hi Matt - I guess its both. I mainly look at my yoast analytic but google analytic says I have a70% bounce rate.  I did recover my search engine rankings, for instance for graphene nanoplatelets I am # 4 in organic search.  Most of my keywords I am on the 1st page of organic results for

I've recently upgraded to a WP site but i have a very high bounce rate.  It is typically 75-80% and recently I saw a 95% bounce rate.  I found part of the issue was I neglected to change the urls for my adwords acct but I did that weeks ago and its still very high.  Last week, for 1 day only i had 18% but it shot back up when I made some code changes that didn't pan out as expected. The site is an online store and is www.cheaptubes.com

I really need to fix it. my business is severely hurting.  Any and all ideas are appreciated.

Thanks Dirk - I only wanted to keep it short term. As long as all link juice is passed to new site then I can just kill it off.  I wanted to redirect specific pages because the new sites page names are different.  That would be the only reason to install WP, to facilitate redirects. The old site is so old it is done in frontpage so there is no htaccess file.  I see you did find a piece of dup content but the errors have been there for months.  I just changed that page name last week and apparently didn't 301 it.   I think the strange url you found might be part of the problem, perhaps they are just bad relative links. I will try screaming frog.  Thank you for your help.

I launched a new wordpress site at www.cheaptubes.com in Sept. I haven't taken the old one down yet, it is still at http://65.61.43.25/  The reason I left it up is I wanted to make sure everything was properly redirected 1st.  Some pages and images are still ranking but most point to the new site. When I search for carbon nanotubes pricelist and look in images I see some of our images on the old site are still ranking there https://www.google.com/imgres?imgurl=http://65.61.43.25/images/single-walled-nanotubes.1.gif&imgrefurl=http://65.61.43.25/ohfunctionalizedcnts.htm&h=359&w=451&tbnid=HKlL84A_9X0jGM:&docid=N2wdCg7rSQBsjM&ei=-A2qVqThL4WxeKCyjdAM&tbm=isch&ved=0ahUKEwikvcWdxczKAhWFGB4KHSBZA8oQMwhJKCIwIg

I guess I can put WP on the old server and do some 301s from there but I'm not sure if that is best or if I should just kill it off entirely? My rankings took a hit on Nov 15th and business has been bad ever since so I'm trying to figure this out quickly.

Moz.com and onpage.org both say my site has duplicate content on several pages. I've looked at the content and it isn't duplicate. How can I figure this out? Google likely see's it the same way. These aren't duplicate pages, they are different products. I even searched my product pages to make sure I didn't have 2 of each in there and I don't.  With Moz its mostly product tags it sees as duplicate but the products are completely different

I've been spending time fighting other fires since posting this question. Yesterday when WP automatically updated it crashed my site.  I determined it was related to woo commerce...not good since most of my site is in the product categories & product pages of woo.  I spent all night an today on it and got my site working.  I read this forum which helped a lot

When I turned off the force SSL button the site came back online. In working with dream host support I learned this

I'm the WP expert!  We've heard rumblings of a strange issue in Woo where that setting is
forcing http redirects outside of the checkout page, which is causing Woo and core WP to send you back and forth between http and https when the siteurl is set to https.

_Since https://www.cheaptubes.com is set for your home AND site urls, there shouldn't need to be a force of SSL. That is, WordPress already knows it's SSL, and therefore you shouldn't need to be forcing it on those pages. _

I then received  new crawl from Moz saying I now only have 9 errors, not 600. I am recrawling to verify its fixed but I think it is now.  If anyone else ever has this issue, try unchecking the Force SSL button

Thanks Ken, I did find that tab but the keywords there aren't very good

thanks but that column is empty for me.  I did find the keyword opportunities Ken mentioned however they don't seem to be very good ones.

I keep seeing messages in my control panel saying moz has sent me 48 new keywords from insights.  I can't seem to find them. Does anyone know where I should be looking?  I have clicked around a lot and can't find them

I had lost a lot of search engine rankings & it almost put me out of business.  I worked a lot on the site in April and in May my sales rebounded 37%+ almost back to where they typically are.  I have blamed Panda and saw another Panda update in May and my traffic is declining again.  Today I happened to decide to check what pages were being indexed and I also noticed that when I published an update this morning it said the page "<cite class="_Zd">www.cheaptubes.com/index2.asp</cite>" exists on the destination server but not in current site and it asked if I wanted to delete it.  I said no at the time but am going to delete it right after this question.   I went to google & put "site:cheaptubes.com" into the search.  My website has about 50 pages but google has "About 2,160 results" @ 10X per page.  The first four pages are mostly my pages but I noticed even on the first page, 3rd result was for Nike shoes and it isn't my site.  Someone has hacked my site and put up over 21,000 pages!  That must be the real reason behind my website problems, right?  How do I stop this from happening again?  Is this having the negative effect that I fear it is?

Thanks Everyone.  I got the old url cheaptubesinc.com 301'd to cheaptubes.com this week.  Of course network solutions left off the / after .com and before the page name so that only the home page would 301 and they could try to sell me more 301s, it cost $60 for 1 and I have 48 pages on my site.  I called and emailed them all week and they kept saying they had done it right and and they couldn't force google to change the links.  I then realized if I typed www.cheaptubesinc/graphene.htm that it didn't work because it 301'd to www.cheaptubes.comgraphene.htm.  They were argumentative with me even though I was polite with them even though I didn't want to be.  I finally got a tech on the phone who said he would add the slash and ask his boss for forgiveness.  However given the history of having the domain parked and pointed before and that not working over time & now this, I think my best bet is to transfer my domains to someone else.  I heard bluehost is good.  My concern is if they were that unethical in our dealings and the boss was argumentative in emails than they could go in an remove the slash at any time.

I also found a ton of code errors right at the top of my pages.  I now know it was from putting up temporary messages but not checking to make sure the code was clean.  The woman I bought my them from (6.5 years ago I paid her $60 and she still helps me for free, what  difference between her & NS) notice open H1's & P elements at the top of the pages.  I was still ranking well for acronyms but missing out on the long keywords since last july which caused my sales to drop off. I figure I lost at least 150K in sales because I neglected my website and didn't clean up the code on my pages a painful lesson I won't soon forget.  On tuesday, when I searched single walled carbon nanotubes I had to go 8 pages back in google to find my page.  By week's end I was #8 on page 1 and ahead of sigma aldrich a major materials supplier.

Thank you so much for your help everyone, it is sincerely appreciated

Thank you so much Trenton.  I will review the articles when I have a minute. I did try stackoverflow but my question didn't get any response.  Thanks for the links, very helpful.  I have done all the redirects thru Yoast SEO Premium.  I talked with them yesterday and they said I have to do the redirects from the old website. I will try your suggestions
