Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Thanks Logan, appreciate the prompt response.

Hey Everyone,

Here is the situation : Currently, a website's sub domain is being redirected to the main website home page. We're having issues getting the sub domain pages indexed. Just want to confirm that it is because of the redirect on the sub domain URL. Should we kill the sub domain redirect and set it up as it's own page? Will that solve the indexing issue for the sub domain pages.

More explanation below:

subdomain.domain.com currently redirects to domain.com

We're having issues indexing pages belonging to the sub domain ( subdomain.url.com/page1 or subdomain.url.com/page2)

Appreciate your input in advance.

Cheers,

What is the best process to track conversions/visits in Google Analytics when running an email campaign that links to both a sub-domain and then the main domain?

To elaborate further, we have an email marketing campaign that directs users to a subdomain (e.g. promos.website.com) within the subdomain we include our products. Once a user clicks on the promos, they are taken to our main website (e.g website.product1.com).

What is the best process to track conversions from this email campaign that leads users to the sub-domain first, then to the main site (where the conversions take place)?

We have URL tagging in the Email Campaign - but not able to see the true conversions show up in Analytics on the main site.

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers!

We've noticed recently on an E-Commerce website that we manage that PayPal has recently shown a large increase in Referral Traffic on the website.

Is anyone having an experience with this and how can we block it? It seems like its counting the traffic that leave to PayPal to complete a purchase and then return to the site as increased traffic.

The increase started to occur around April 29, 2015 and I'm wondering if this has anything to do with any recent updates made by PayPal?

Any insight or other experiences would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

Quite a generic question. IMO this forum is best used for specific questions/issues you may have. You'll engage the community much better with specific queries.

SEO BOOK - Bloggers Guide to SEO (Highly recommend reading this)

All the best.

2nd Vote for Screaming Frog. Tried a lot of tools to pull info on all the URL's and this tool is by far the best one for the job.

Thanks for your opinion Andrew. Wondering how much of an impact it makes if you dont utilize the "blog" in the URL structure and add in the Title directly (www.domain.com/title) especially when going after competitive keywords.Logically it would make more sense to have a structure like this (www.domain.com/blog/category/title)

Good point Patrick.

Sites are adopting different URL structures for posting blogs (examples below).

Quicksprout ( www.domain.com/dateposted/blogposttitle)

Moz (www.domain.com/blog/blogposttitle)

SEO Book (www.domain.com/blogposttitle)

What do you recommend?

Would love the group's opinion on the Forbes.com welcome page

(http://www.forbes.com/fdc/welcome_mjx.shtml) redirects to the actual home page after 20 seconds.

• SEO implications for this tactic?
• Does it impact the home page rankings? (Positive/Negative)

Any input is appreciated.

Hi Mozzers,

Would appreciate your input on a tool (free or paid) that provides accurate information on the volume of traffic (paid and organic) that a site is getting every month. It would be nice if the tool can also provide data on the pages with most traffic (and number) page wise for a website?

Thank you! I'll test it out!

Hi,

I am looking to run an On-Site audit for a website and I'm wondering if there are any tools available online that take the existing Meta Tags on ALL pages of a website and downloads them to a .CSV or .XLS.

Would need Meta Title and Meta Description for all pages at the very least.

Any suggestions are appreciated - looking for Free or Paid options.

Thanks.

Does anyone have recommendations for a CMS that allows for managing content across several auto dealership sites through one interface?

Any insight appreciated.

Hi Gary,

We were advertising articles for non profit client based out of Canada. The CTR was low at .06% but i guess that would really depend on the content that you are promoting. The reporting interface is pretty basic , you will not get detailed stats on every single publisher that drove traffic to your site. Their network does include popular sites like CNN, Fox. The distribution might be a lot better in the US . We only targeted Canada with this campaign.

The key to success with this platform would really be the viral nature of the content being promoted. I'd suggest you give it a shot with a small budget to start and see how it does.

Hi Gary,

We ran a small test with Outbrain, (Spent approx $4k) over the course of 2 months and generated traffic at an average CPC of .90. Their network is very high quality as the traffic came from sites like CNN International, Fox.

PM me if you need more detailed info.

Hi Ben,

What's your motivation to advertise the same branded keywords for both the sites at the same time? If you want to do some A/B testing and seeing which site converts better for the same keywords, you can run site A for one month and site B for the next and see which one converted better.

Hi Asif,

I suggest you look at this plugin below:

Pubble

Not sure if it supports LAMP sites.
