Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Hi Preben,

I'd use your own data to calculate this, the data that you can usually find from vendors and blog posts like this are usually far off. They're outdated and aren't taking into account the specific industry (with its extensions) that you operate in. So you're basically making an assumption on what could be your performance where you'd be off with xx% at least.

Take your own data from Google Search Console and calculate it that way, with that it's a specific as possible and you can segment on the data that you're looking for.

This happend to one of the sites I worked on before, we saw a decline in visits through out the week which was a pretty normal phenomenon. It was just the weekly routine for people looking for our products back then. At the end of the week they wouldn't search for any product related information and starting on Sunday evening throughout Tuesday they started searching for these products.

Based on the explanation you gave me I wouldn't say this is related to something like a weekly EMD update or any other update.

Hi Carl,

You're a lucky man (sarcastic), your paging are loading just normally but are indeed giving the wrong status code: 500 for me. This is probably caused by some of the settings in Magento or you server as the normal status code for working pages should be a 200 OK.

That's probably also why Rogerbot didn't timeout on the pages but got a 500 while the pages were working. Good luck fixxing this!

Btw, I highly recommend using the Redirect Plugin for Chrome by Ayima.

Hi Benjamin,

My French is terrible so I must have missed something probably. But when I check the keywords you provided against the site and it's pages I can't find any keyword in the META title of these pages. That's one of the basic on page elements if you want them to rank only based on, on page factors.

Google Tag Manager? Which is not recommended by Google at all for structured data implementations?

Look into itemList in combination with Product Schema.org, what you could do here is make sure that the template in WordPress has this embedded in the code. So, in that case, you'll make sure that the content is marked up in the right way and you don't have to worry about it when you have content that is being deleted/updated/removed.

Hi Elisa,

It looks like it's pretty simple, when I crawl your Web site with Screaming Frog I only found 11 pages too. The reason is that the other pages aren't linked from the 11 pages found during a crawl. I would recommend to link to your other pages as well so these pages are found.

Hope this helps!

Hi Iris,

If you're sure about it sounds like a bug in the crawl reports. I've never heard anything about a HTTP Status code of 1 or 9 and as far as I know they start at 100+. You might want to report this via help@moz.com.

Hi Gina,

No you won't get penalized for only copying the review about a book on your blog while it's also on Amazon. It's only one page so Google won't make this a huge problem for your site.

Great response Marie! I'm not going to add anything to it because I don't want to end up in a useless discussion. I don't think that's of value to anybody

Hi Roman,

Ok great, you're at least also of the opinion that bigger sites will need an actual implementation. I want to make sure to at least mention these articles too, to not give people the idea that they should all go ahead to implement it through GTM, as it's still not a recommended way to go:

• https://www.upbuild.io/blog/dont-use-gtm-for-structured-data/
• http://www.thesempost.com/google-dont-rely-google-tag-manager-structured-data/
• https://www.seroundtable.com/google-google-tag-manager-seo-24984.html (see the Tweets mentioned in this article, it's based on John Muellers reply to my Tweet about all the down sides of implementing GTM for structured data).

Hi Peter,

We can all help, but we probably need some more insights ;-).

Hi Gerjan,

Actually the information is right, you have connected the Facebook Page in the right way to your site via the widget etc. But these likes don't count for the specific pages. So your FB Page has ±600 likes but the specific homepage you've checked in OpenSiteExplorer is providing data for webpages and that is 0.

Hope this helps!

Hi Iris,

I don't see any issues in having 4 links to your own social network accounts without a nofollow attribute. They're your own social network accounts so why not give them the right credits. I think you shouldn't to worry about things like this, they're really really minor details.

Use some sort of automation in this, what you normally do is just repeat the page you're on in the META descriptions. So that it will be a different and unique META description but not one that is really unique if you know what I mean. It's mostly the best way to deal with pagination as in most cases these pages don't rank very well anyway.

Hi,

There is a few things in your post that I want to help clarify:

• Just sending traffic and links to something doesn't always mean that it'll help drive your search rankings.
• Posting a PDF in Google Drive and linking to that won't help your site rank better, in the end the file is hosted on a Google owned domain, not yours. So as far as I can imagine it won't help you.
• Only if people would link to the actual PDF that is hosted on your site (including meta robots of noindex) it could help you. But only if that link is public for anybody to visit and not just something that you obviously send out in an email.

Next to the recommendation that you would need to set up the event tracking you would also need to enable the Audience Demographics data: https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/2819948?hl=en you can find more at this link on how to enable this.

You'll also need to implement a custom way to track if a user is using an adblocker. You could do this for example by creating a file advertising.js which usually gets blocked by an adblocker and adding a writable variable in there. If you would later check if that variable has changed you might be able to see the result.

Hi,

You're able to track a maximum of 250 keywords in your Moz Pro account. What you could do is add the 181 keywords to a project and then add your competitors to the project so you can see their progress against yours. I'm not sure if that's what you're looking for but that's the best you could do on such a basis in your Moz account. Otherwise I would look into other tools.

Hi Remko,

Auch I know the feeling, there was a similar topic last week in the Q&A from somebody who also wanted to get his page indexed a bit fast. One thing that got recommended which I really thought smart was post the URL on Google+ if you can. Facebook is pretty limited for Google to crawl so you probably will have a hard time to get Google to crawl your pages. Both Google+ (owned by Google) and Twitter are perfectly crawlable by Google so they should speed up the process to get your page at least crawled again. Then it will be up to Google to also refresh the cached file.

Hope this helps!

Hi Bob,

Remember that still if you use this plugin for co-authors Google will always pick the first editor and use their picture in the attribution for Google Authorship in the SERPs (in which I don't say that they won't attribute it to both but just show the first).
