Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Hopefully they specified where they spend their time on? Because as you mention it, it looks like your client was overcharged. However maybe the pulled in some extra improvements which could be really worth the money.

Hi Cole,

Curious how you change the GA script to not add people to the bounces 'segment'. Why not chose to use event tracking on these interactions on the page so they won't be counted as a bounce?

OptinMonster is quite good at this, if you're wanting to do this for mobile as well then try BananaSplash.com

The canonical tags are the only thing that is really important. Next to that I'm not to sure if you should do nofollows.

Hi Dan, there is no word count guideline for this at all. They're not using the event descriptions itself I think in the rich snippets but only the name of the event. You have to tell them though about the description because otherwise it's not a valid implementation but there is no certain limit.

Hi,

Google is doing really weird with showing breadcrumbs lately. I had the same issues a while ago and it took a while before they showed the nice breadcrumbs on the search result pages for our snippets. However a big plus for them is using some form of microdata to help them find the breadcrumbs itself on the page, more information on how to implement this microdata for breadcrumbs could be found over here.

Hope this helps!

Hi Mark,

Yes they do, however the links get redirected by Joomla via a 303. So the link value is not that big like if you should give them a direct link.

Hope this helps!

Hi Kristina,

I do know what it means, on mobile search result pages Google might from time to time for webpages that are very fast on mobile add an additional label to the result saying the page is mobile friendly. That label is what Moz is showing you in their reports. More information on the mobile friendly labels can you find here: http://searchengineland.com/google-officially-launches-mobile-friendly-labels-mobile-search-results-208949

Hope this helps!

It could be the same, but I wouldn't overdo it and make it /pandas-in-chinese-zoo/pandas-in-chinese-zoo.jpg just to make sure you would stuff some extra keywords in there.

Hi Dan, I could explain a lot of things here but I would recommend to visit and read the content on this page: https://support.google.com/webmasters/answer/164506?hl=en Google will explain what you need to do to get event snippets.

That is correct, but you can also assign it also to an AREA tag like mentioned in the W3 documentation here: http://www.w3.org/wiki/HTML/Elements/area

Still don't really get how this would work as Google also just will see 1 link every time but they tell you that it's targeting more pages. I would never use such services as most of them already have been banned by Google in the last years and they will remain to do so.

It's completely depending on link data to the domain indeed!

Yups, seeing the same thing in our Google Webmaster Tools accounts.

Hi, you probably would be better off on a web development forum. My guess is that you're using a CMS and the web development community usually knows a bit more on that topic.

Hi Pete,

Have you set a canonical URL to the 'original homepage? If not, that's what I would recommend to do.

Are these sites on the same server/ IP Address/ C block? That's also something you might want to look into. If they are probably Google will be able to tell if it's the same server and so they won't give all the link juice.

Don't forget about other crawlers that might have already crawled the links. You could for example check if Majestic or Ahrefs have already picked up on the link. Usually looking at a metric of Domain Authority to hope for an effect in your visits is not the best way to go about your SEO.

Yes, like answered above this is for sure a plugin/extension in your browser using your queries to also embed your Evernote notes in there. Nobody else, except you, will see them,

Could you give us some more insight into the links that you've acquired over the last 5 months. How many of them and what is the overall authority of these kind of links? I can't seem to find any links via the data in OSE as they're a bit behind in their data set.
