Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Why do you want the IP address of every visitor? You can look at http://piwik.org which is another analytics and the last time I remember that it does show the IP.

https://www.kissmetrics.com is person based analytics. I would highly suggest them.

Why don't you just jump to wpengine for that? Why move to a subdomain - I don't think is a good idea. Why do you want to push them to move away from IIS to Apache? Because of redirects? You can do that too in IIS. What value does the client get when you move to apache? Because you're more comfortable with it?

The value of having the blog on the root is for the freshness, and when people share, engage, it adds value to the entire root domain no matter what directory it is. So, moving it to a subdomain is like moving it to a completely new website. Why?

Well if you're getting that many links - I would keep a close eye on your 404 pages. How is your link velocity? What I would do is try to get involved in the conversions online. Go get buzz bundle and monitor your brand and keywords there and at that rate you said will be able to maybe increase/influence conversions.

Good Job. Bravo!

Why don't you try to measure the impact one maybe 4 or 5 of the pages?

I would keep the ending slash there. Not for any reason - just preference. Also, try to keep your URLs short and consistent.

I would say scrape all of your URLs and throw everything into excel have a old and new. Spend some time on this as you don't want to change the URL structure after this.

Sidenote: You don't want to stack 301s. Oldest URL -> Prev URL -> Current URL. Both Oldest and Prev should point to Current.

When you're done submit your updated sitemap to both google and bing webmaster tools.

Yes, it really is a good video! I had the honor of Everett respond to one of my own QAs. By the way, what a nice website you have there! I'm actually in the watch niche as well.

Have you been watching your redirect log to see if there are any errors there? I would take a look at http://phantomjs.org and automate the redirect rules you have and watch the log file.

Also, go ahead and take a look here: http://httpd.apache.org/docs/current/rewrite/rewritemap.html which is faster then the 301s you have in your htaccess.

Also for magento seo, you're going to want to watch this: http://moz.com/webinars/ecommerce-seo-fix-and-avoid-common-issues as Everett Sizemore done a lot with eCommerce and magento. He goes through common issues.

Good luck!

You should use what you have set in google webmaster tools and whats indexed in google.

• site: domain.com
• site: www.domin.com

Good luck!

Well, if you're on a VPS/Dedicated Machine. - I would take a look at http://httpd.apache.org/docs/current/rewrite/rewritemap.html

RewriteMap has 0 effect on the load time like if you were to have the same in .htaccess it will eat those redirect rules. Remember 301s cache in the browser so when you're testing have them all 302s until you're happy and then watch your rewrite log when you launch. If you need help let us know.

This does take some knowhow and learning but you should be able to get this done in a few days. ( testing, reading documentation )

http://www.barracuda-digital.co.uk/panguintool/ offers a cool overlay of your organic traffic.. and offers a good insight to see how you were effected by each known update.

Now from recovering. This will cost you money but you can recover in less then 2 weeks in my experience but its going to cost you about $600 in just tools plus about 300 or so in link removals.

http://www.linkresearchtools.com/products-overview/ - you need the superhero plan. Looking here they have a October sale which saves you a little over 100 bucks. Cool so there is 400 bucks. Next: http://www.rmoov.com/ go get this for a month. Its a 100 bucks. Now what you want to do is go through and run their detox tool. Get the ones that are not indexed and the toxic ones.

Open up both excel spreadsheets and copy the pages that are linking to you. Open a new excel sheet remove duplicate rows or if you want to do it quick you can just use http://textmechanic.com/Remove-Duplicate-Lines.html

Next you take your list of URLs and run that through rmoov. Next it will do its thing go through the campaign settings and check Add Report Back Link to Webmaster Email & FlipFlop Emails. FlipFlop Emails basically sends one time to one email for that domain if it found more then one - it will send next time to that one.

Once it finds all the contact information what you want to do next is go through and enter the campaign. There is a Show Problems checkbox. See what ones are missing contact info. Some of these are going to be tough to find so you will have to delete some of them but; please.. take your time and try to find out who it is. Sometimes its just as doing a whois again.. and you will see that they have a name or another domain you can google to dig deeper.

Now what you're going to want to do is go through each one of these and make sure there are no bad links here.. just make a triple spot check and qualify them. Sometimes the most I had to remove 4 or 5 but Im glad I did. Sometimes you will find that the links it found was just a different view of the same link. So you can just go there and clean it up.

Next what you want to do is send out the campaign email. What this basically does is sends out a email every single day to these guys until they remove it. I found that sometimes the webmaster doesnt even reply but just deletes them and if it goes though and sees that its a deadlink, win. You will get people asking from 3 bucks to 25.. I found that saying: if I disavow you - it doesnt help One guy just raised the price. Just pay them. I found a lot of people who have these directory networks and he found 1000s of directory links he could remove. That can get costly - I just make a note ( rmoov has a good note taker for each site ) and if they want 3000 bucks, screw them, disavow and thanks for the list.

After you run that for a week. Take the clean disavow and upload that. Next - run that campaign again and while thats running you can submit your notes in your reconsideration requests. I talked to so and so, I paid this and this is when. I even add paypal transaction ids. The next thing you can do is when your replying to the web masters is use the note system in rmoov, and when they remove it, and you check, click the link thats in the email which reports back to rmoov that its removed.

Now - I see that once you submit your reconsideration request it takes about 8 business days to get back. Everytime I do this ( more then once ) I get a email saying the manual action has been revoked.

Now that you have a list of what links you removed. Right? Now Im sure you have a link indexing service or a tool that does it.. run that to the ones thats been removed. Im not sure how much this step helps but we all know that the disavow list that you have it takes some time for google-bot to run through this and recheck and do what it does. So to speed up a speedy recovery, I do that.

At the end of the day, end your subscription with rmoov and just let it run for the rest of the month and you may get people mad and they just remove the links so you stop emailing them. So keep a eye on the email and you can get some more wins from it.

This got a little too long. Im sorry. When you do something so many times its easy to talk about.

good answer. Remember that it will take google some time to go back and index those links. A good trick is to use some indexing tools on the old links that were removed.

If you have a LinkAssistant you could put all those links in there and see when the last time they were indexed - this could speed things up.

Have you looked for panda triggers? The pages with the highest exit stats AND lowest average time on page mean low user satisfaction and is a panda trigger.  You want to make sure that the landing pages with the highest exit rate AND lowest time on page are best serving the "query intent" of whatever query the person made to get there.

Also I feel like you have too many ads above the fold.

I really like http://www.linkresearchtools.com and one of the many awesome tools, is the Link Juice Recovery Tool.

maybe you could automate similar RVs thats in that price range or model and a "contact us for similar" button. I like formable pro - because I can see entries.. and capture emails to mailchimp - there you can email that email list new RV entries.

PPC if you have the budget but you should really focus on the customer acquisition funnel, website goals, pages bounce rate, time on site, keywords that you're ranked for on that page.. and improving the conversion rate. We just need to adapt and educate clients that its more then keyword rankings. Cant think just search engine optimization - this is search engine marketing, inbound marketing - the keyword in this is marketing.

I would def. still take a look at kiss metrics because its a much better analytics to begin with. The multi touch gives you so much insight to the people who are using the site. You're still going to get not provided but between Google Webmaster Tools, Bing Webmaster tools , Google Analytics and Kiss Metrics - it should give you a lot of actionable insight to making your pages better.

Good example of a site that does show up in the SERPs for all things related

Personally I would just $_POST price and size - and be done with it. ( as opposed to $_GET which shows the parameter in the URL ) - No need to over think creating more URLs and complicating life.

If anything - you can define in WMT what price is and what size is but just keep it clean. Also, remember # tags in the URL doesn't get followed by google. So, clone.com/Apartments/New-York#price=30&size=100 could work too.

Yes,

You should exclude coupons. I do, personally, at least.

Look here:

• admin.php?page=wpseo_titles#top#post_types
• admin.php?page=wpseo_titles#top#taxonomies

Make sure that you're not nofollowing any of them.. Also look here:

• admin.php?page=wpseo_xml

To make sure you're excluding taxonomies. I'm currently using wordpress and woocommerce as well with yoast seo.
