Good Morning from  17°C Mostly Cloudy Humidity: 85% Wetherby Uk

For reasons too arduous to detail autotagging my ppc ads is not working in that Google analytics ppc data is missing:-(

To fix this I've gone down ther route of manually autotagging the my ppc campaigns by adding this onto the end of the campaign urls -

www.aldermedia.co.uk/?utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc&utm_term={keyword}&utm_campaign=Aldermedia

My question

"But will adding curly brackets around the work keyword as in {keyword} dynamically record the different keywords used and show in analytis?"

Below is a screenshot of the situation:

I have disabled autotagging in the ppc dashboard to allow for autotagiing to work but ultimately I want to see some ppc data in the campaigns section of Google analytics and I really want to know what paid terms visitors entered.

Hope this all makes some sense, please take a look at the above screenshot to help.

Any insights welcome

Good Morning from 24 degrees C partly cloudy wetherby UK

This page is not being indexed by Google:
http://www.sandersonweatherall.co.uk/office-to-let-leeds/

1st Question

Ive checked robots txt file no problems, i'm in the midst of updating the xml sitemap (it had the old one in place). It only has one link from this page http://www.sandersonweatherall.co.uk/Site-Map/

So is the reason oits not being indexed just a simple case of lack if SEO juice from inbound links so the remedy lies in routing more inbound links to the offending page?

2nd question

Is the quickest way to diagnose if a web address is not being indexed to cut and paste the url in the Google search box and if it doesnt return the page theres a problem?

Thanks in advance,

David

Brill thanks

Good Morning from Sh@t its still raining wetherby UK...

I want to just make sure the process i go through when a new site is launched is nort overlooking some fundamentals.

Most sites we launch are not brand new, do allready have a link heritage and have been indexed by Google. With that in mid i do not submit a sites url thru the following links:

www.google.com/addurl
search.yahoo.com/info/submit.html
search.live.com/docs/submit.aspx

Am i right in saying you should really only bother with this if the site a newbie ie no history no link heritage and the site is enering cyberspace for the forst time.

And i wonder if for example you launched a new site made sure the xml site map was in place and it had a few inbound links anyway it would be indexed anyway.

So is the practice of submitting your url to search engined relevant anymore?

Bonjour from "Its a miracle is not raining" Wetherby Uk

Ok here goes... Why despite a robots text file excluding indexing to site

http://lewispr.netconstruct-preview.co.uk/ is the site url being indexed in Bing bit not Google?

Does bing ignore robots text files or is there something missing from http://lewispr.netconstruct-preview.co.uk/robots.txt I need to add to stop bing indexing a preview site as illustrated below.

Brill answers thank you

Good Morning from 14 degrees C sunny Wetherby UK 

My question is please....

"When a new site is given a total makover ie old urls are re written to radically different ones I know if you dont set up 301 redirects the infamous 404 error page will rear its head. But i wonder if 301 redirects were not configured how long on average does it take google to index the new site and serp links finally point to the new site".

Thanks in advance

Thank you for all your replies I'm going to sort it out over the weekend

Hi from from 20 degrees C 83% humidity wetherby UK

A few weeks back i decided i needed to get my pretty face appearing in my serps for www.davidclick.com But after having set up a Gppgle+ account and linking my site to the Google+ account i think I may have done something wrong

I linked to the Google+ page via a footer link in www.davidclick.com but alas I'm not able to get my face in my SERP which this website has:

http://i216.photobucket.com/albums/cc53/zymurgy_bucket/google-plus-picJPGcopy.jpg

So my question is please - "How do you get your Google+ account image to appear in the SERPS.

Ta muchly,
David

Bonjour...

If the target term is "Radiofrequency Ablation" does it make a jot of different against the standards of semantic markup the

is written like this:

Radiofrequency Ablation

and not this

Radiofrequency Ablation

Good afternoon from still wet & humid wetherby UK...

I want to write a robots text file that instruct the bots to index everything and give a specific location to the sitemap. The sitemap url is:http://business.leedscityregion.gov.uk/CMSPages/GoogleSiteMap.aspx

Is this correct:

User-agent: *
Disallow:
SITEMAP: http://business.leedscityregion.gov.uk/CMSPages/GoogleSiteMap.aspx

Any insight welcome

Thanks Marcus, Yes i did fee the Google places listing was conflicting with the Google+ product, damn frustrating. Me thinks I'll take your advice and back off for a while and see if things untangle

Good morning from Pollen level moderate wetherby UK pass me another Benadryl Plus wetherby UK

Having jumped into the world of Google plus my objective was to create a business page that would appear when the Google+ serp is clicked on. Unfortunately my labour & toil has not paid off

Having created a Google+ business page & set it to default ( I think ) it still points to the vanilla Google+ page.

Below is my frustration chartered in three sraeps

http://i216.photobucket.com/albums/cc53/zymurgy_bucket/business-page-built-hodgson-plus-step-3.jpg

So my questiuon is please -

"How do i get the business page to be the default everytime a user clicks on the Google + link in the SERPS?"

Any insights welcome

Just done it and below is how i did it:

To sort out the home page without the www:

Options +FollowSymlinksRewriteEngine onRewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^davidclick.comRewriteRule (.*) http://www.davidclick.com/$1 [R=301,L]

To sort out the the home page with /index.htm:

redirect 301 http://www.davidclick.com/index.htm http://www.davidclick.com/

Got more advice from here: http://www.squidoo.com/301/8937705

Thank you Saijo & Justin I'm on it now

Does this site www.davidclick.com have a canonical problem because the home page can be requested via 3 different urls

http://www.davidclick.com/
http://davidclick.com/
http://www.davidclick.com/index.htm

but I'm confused in terms of applying a fix for example all advice here http://support.google.com/webmasters/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=139066#1 says i need to identify the duplicate files and add

So my question is please if I do have a canonical problem how can i fix it when I only have one file for my home page, there are no duplicates

Any insights welcome

Hi Brian this is exactly what i was discussing with my boss the other day. We could ( but we wont ) target a competitor and point a tonne of naff links to a site and theoretically sink them.

My understanding is the penguin update is a joke in that they've not protected against using it as a counter strike tactic.

I just dont get it Or maybe they just want organic SEO to sink so we all give up and throw cash at PPC...
