If I block a URL via the robots.txt - how long will it take for Google to stop indexing that URL?
Hello Jaro, What Andy says is right, im backing him up. Remember to not include that URL in the sitemap. Also is a good moment to say that with the robots.txt you just tell google bot not no follow it, that differs from indexing it. There are cases where URLs are indexed instead of being "blocked" in the robots.txt. The fine way stop google from indexing a certain URL would be adding the meta robots tag including a noindex atribute. Here there a quote from the Webmaster central help forum in Google: If you block a file from crawling and Google discovers a URL for that file on another site, it may still index the file using whatever information it can find, even though crawling is blocked. So robots.txt disallow does not necessarily stop something being indexed. (in the ets answer, a note below the Disallow part) Hope it's clarifying. Best luck. GR.

yes, since you are not changing domain name and keeping the same content, you should be fine, since you were original author of that content

Instagram analytics tool
Hi Patrick, Thanks a lot for your answer! We have tried UnionMetrics now (because the other two don't measure impressions on Instagram), however the tool only measures impressions for hash tags, not for a single post. Anyway thanks a lot for your help!

How to view the sources of visitors who bounced off in Google Analytics?
Hi there There is actually "Bounced Visits" segment you can select by default. Go to Acquisition -> All Traffic and make sure the primary dimension selected is: Medium - so your data is grouped by paid, organic, direct etc. Click the drop down arrow next to the default All Visits section at the top of the page and then click on the "Bounced Visits" tab to highlight it. You can deselect All Visits at this point or use it to compare. You should be left with a report of the amount of bounced visits per medium type, which is hopefully what you're after. Hope this helps.
