Welcome to the Q&A Forum

The question is not dynamic v. static, it should be what is most readable for your visitors.  If you can simplify your urls for visitors then you should as it makes the experience better, which in turn is what Google wants websites to do.

If the products are all but the same besides color, would you be able to implement something like amazon has, where each product is only one page and you select the color/size option within the the product framework?  This way instead of having a bunch of pages that are basically the same product, all of your effort can go to one page per product.

Pixel tags do not effect your SEO. The only thing that could cause a problem is if they are loading slowing and causing load time issues with your site, otherwise back end code for tracking does not have anything to do with how you are ranked in search.

I would argue against Fiverr, not just on the grounds that it cheapens the landscape, but mostly due to the quality.  I tried using it multiple times from semi-technical and click bait style articles and every time the quality was poor to the point that editing them took more time and effort then just writing them would have been.

I agree with Alberto about Odesk.com, it is a great resource to find freelance writers with.

Once you remove it in GWT make sure to update both your robots.txt to not index along with adding the no index tag to all pages on your test site.  Be careful that you don't accidentally push either the robots or noindex tag onto your live site.

The reason that you want to do both is, while the robots is the best option, if somehow a page on your test site gets linked it can show up in Google for a few days until Google re-crawls your whole site and sees that the robots says not to index anything.  You can tell if this problem is happening in your analytics if you see traffic to test pages spike up for a few days every couple of months.

Ok, the problem is your pages are all canonical to themselves, the canonical tag should point at the main page for the content, not to every page.  For your first example, all pages that get their content from http://www.spain-internship.com/en need to have canonical tags to that page, instead the copy page has this:

href="http://www.spain-internship.com/fi/etusivu/186-all-fi/home-page-fi" rel="canonical" />

it should have

href="http://www.spain-internship.com/fi/" rel="canonical" />

Do you have an example of one of these generated pages as well, everything looks fine on the main page.

Do you have a link to one of these pages so we can look at how it is deploying the canonical onto the page.

This is exactly right, I have them but the only value outside of what I learned to pass them is if you are trying to be a Google partner (http://www.google.com/analytics/partners/apply).

Bas is 100% right, you do not have to but each social media outlet's audience act differently. To get the most out of your social media postings you should tailor your message delivery and content based on each platforms strengths and what your customers respond best to on each independently.

Honestly I would not worry about it to much, their yelp page has a lot of positive reviews so it would hurt them to change that.  You could try adding a CAPTCHA onto the contact form on the site to dissuade sales people and stop auto fill bots, but that could inconvenience potential customers so you will need to weigh the pros and cons. You could try adding their number to no-call lists to see if that helps, but I don't think that there will be a ton of calls in the long run, things like this tend to happen a bunch for a week or two then drop off.

Ben,

Your image did not link properly.  As I cannot see the data, does the majority of the CA traffic come from one or a few places that are not major cities? Have you disabled bots in the view settings?  It seems to me that there might be a bot crawling Yelp listings within that area collecting and verifying phone numbers to sell.

How do you have your goal set up? it seems like your goal is firing twice, or you have an automatic page reload somewhere, unfortunately problems like this are hard to diagnose without being able to actually see your analytic's information. The best you can do is look at the rules defining your goals and see if they are to broad, if you are basing them off on an event that is hard coded onto your site then you should also look into your code to make sure it is not firing twice during a purchase.

Meta descriptions do not effect your page optimization in the sense that a search engine is effected by it, but it will effect how often people click to your site as the meta description is the copy a person is shown. You should make your descriptions informative and truthful so that it accurately portrays what each page has to offer giving a potential visitor the best ability to judge what content will be on the page (and thereby lowering bounces/re-searches). This being said you should write custom meta descriptions, not just let it truncate content already on your page.  I would start with products that are relevant to the most used keywords and work backwards, if you dedicate yourself to doing at least 20 descriptions a week you will have all of your legacy products done in a year.

Are you sure that the URL's are the same, even small changes to URLs can effect your site.  Look at your Google Analytics to see if there is a change at the page name level and when it occurred.  This could also be a coincidence but doubtful) check your GWT to make sure that you have not been penalized at all.  Lastly, while your URL may not have changed, did the page layout and/or information on each page remain the same or was it changed?

Awesome, I hope it fixes your problem.

I would guess it has to do with a lack of any actual content on the main page, and all of the other pages "content" being aggregated from other sites where it was originally posted.  A site like this would need either a large amount of advertising to drive traffic or in my opinion a complete overhaul and reevaluation of the content strategy.

I would recommend getting Yoast SEO for Wordpress, then in the Yoast options for XML sitemap under taxonomies tell it to exclude Categories.  Most likely after the migration somewhere an option that creates or references pages based on categories and/or tags was left on.  You can simple exclude these pages from your sitemap while you check your other plug-ins and settings to make sure that one of them is not trying to reference these pages which have been turned off.

How long ago did they make the updates?  Did you also update your sitemap to no longer have uppercase versions in it?

Google Analytics offers this information if you enable it.  The information is based off of Google's Double Click advertising data.  You need to update your privacy policy and make a slight alteration to your installed Google Analytics code.  This is a free upgrade to your Google Analytics Account.
