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

https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wordpress-https-conflicts-with-woocommerce?replies=4

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

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

thank you so much Dmitrii - i will look into your suggestions and try them.

I launched a new website at www.cheaptubes.com and had recovered my search engine rankings as well after penguin & panda devestation. I'm was continuing to improve the site Sept 26th by adding caching of images and W3 cache but moz analytics is now saying I went from 288 medium issues to over 600 and i see the warning "45% of site pages served 302 redirects during the last crawl".  I'm not sure how to fix this?  I'm on WP using Yoast SEO so all the 301's I did are 301's not 302's.  I do have SSL, could it be Http vs Https? I've asked this question before and two very nice people replied with suggestions which I tried to implement but couldn't, i got the WP white screen of death several times. They suggested the code below.  Does anyone know how to implement this code or some other way to reduce the errors I'm getting?  I've asked this at stackoverflow with no responses.

"you have a lot of http & https issues so you should fix these with a bit of .htaccess code, as below.

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} !=on
RewriteRule ^.*$ https://%{SERVER_NAME}%{REQUEST_URI} [R,L]

You also have some non-www to www issues. You can fix these in .htaccess at the same time...

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www.
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.%{HTTP_HOST}/$1 [R=301,L]

You should find this fixes a lot of your issues. Also check in your Wordpress general settings that the site is set to www.cheaptubes.com for both instances."

When I tried to do as they suggested it gave me an internal server error.  Please see the code below from .htaccess and the server error.  I took it out for now.

BEGIN WordPress

<ifmodule mod_rewrite.c="">RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
RewriteEngine On RewriteCond %{HTTPS} !=on RewriteRule ^.$ https://%{SERVER_NAME}%{REQUEST_URI} [R,L]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www. RewriteRule ^(.)$ http://www.%{HTTP_HOST}/$1 [R=301,L]</ifmodule>

END WordPress

it worked, all set now. thanks

thank you so much.  I can't wait for this to go live so I can be done with my frontpage website, yep still on frontpage.  This will be a lot better

We are building a new site currently at http://67.222.109.48/~cheapnan/

I started doing some SEO after the developer I hired failed to do it even though it was in the agreement.

I did our old site so I should be able to do this but I am new to wordpress. Now when i go to the products tab at the top of the page the first 2 have broken links, I checked the rest and there are 3 total that I need to fix.  I am unsure how to access the navigation so I can fix the links.  Please tell me where to look.

ok, thx for that. I will try it.  I know the pages that need the 301 from the others.  all the bad pages have index2.asp in the names.  I have changed my ftp and login passwords

good to know the 404 don't count against me

I went to GWT today and now that I deleted the 2 malicious pages, my site now had 1950 404 errors of which only 15 are legitimate that I need to 301. I'm not sure how to handle this now.  I read that google doesn't count 404 or 410 against you but 1950 pages is a lot. I would like to deal with it. I thought about wiping out the site and uploading a new version of it but I think it will have the same errors. Any advice?

http://www.cheaptubes.com/: Increase in not found errors June 20, 2014

Google detected a significant increase in the number of URLs that return a 404 (Page Not Found) error. Investigating these errors and fixing them where appropriate ensures that Google can successfully crawl your site's pages.

Recommended action

• Check the Crawl Errors page in Webmaster Tools.
• Check that pages on your site don't link to non-existent pages. (If another site lists a broken link to your site, Google may list that URL but you may not be able to fix the error.)

Thank you for your help

Thank you so much.  I changed my main login & FTP passwords today.  I found that they had changed my email address to info@chatfieldstatepark.org & the last name on my account was changed to Puraty.  I suspect it might be networksolutions who got hacked but i don't know for sure.  I updated and scanned my computer last night and it is virus/malware free.

I am on shared hosting.  I need to get my site updated and off frontpage & then off network solutions.  You helped me back in April when i was trying to get my rankings back, thx.  I have an interim plan.

1- I will use filezilla to FTP and it shouldn't have the same vulnerabilities as frontpage as it can be updated.

2- My theme designer said the theme doesn't rely on FP extensions. With this in mind I plan to download an HTML editor and can hopefully do future editing from there.

I think this is my short path to getting off frontpage.  Does that make sense?  I do realize I need to get from HTML2 to HTML5 or something more modern but I'm tryimng to handle this while juggling my other responsibilites in my 80hr work week.
