It's very hard to pinpoint whether doing it had a positive affect. I'm going to say if it did, it was extremely minimal. It's 'nice' for site visitors to see the site is verified I guess.
I'd still do it again, as Google said it's worthwhile. Just a shame it's taken so long, and we couldn't measure success of failure.
I've done it on another site since, which was far smoother, rankings and traffic remained the same though.
Hi,
It took roughly 4 months to fully recover.
The dent in the graph doesn't look that significant, but the spike towards Christmas is way into the 300,000 mark..
Paid traffic paid a valuable part in keeping traffic steady (as you can see).

Do MOZ have an affiliate platform?
If so, it's hiding from me, would somebody care to point me the right way?
Shall I assume this is the page / they MOZ don't have a direct affiliate program?
Many Thanks
Hi there,
Does anyone know if placing canonical tags in the body instead of the header of a page will still "take"? The system we are on means that making an editable header is no easy business and I was just wondering how big of a difference it makes to have it in a different area.
Thank you in advance.
I thought so! Thanks, Patrick, have a good weekend.

Hi there, hoping for some help. I have a hunch but I can't be sure.
Whenever I go to publish a link on social media, I no longer see previews with the featured image or relevant meta. We have changed servers lately so I think maybe somethign has gone wrong with OpenGraph? Happens on Facebook and LinkedIn.
Hi all,
Have an Analytics account connected to my AdWords account which is showing HUGE gulfs in clicks and sessions for a CPM campaign. 500 clicks = 0 sessions.
Does anyone have any idea why this could be the case? Auto-tagging is on and everything looks to be in place. The website itself is on a 303 so I was wondering could that be impacting things? The CPC is also just 1p so that's got me very suspicious.
Thanks in advance.
Ah, that's a shame. It does our Images sitemaps / Web sitemaps without issue.
I would have thought it would have been okay with any videos. You could ask their support to test it, on the off-chance it collates the information you need it to, they're very good and get back to you within 24 hours.
Thank you for your responses. Just to update you all to say after the rankings dip, they're more or less back to where they were, fingers crossed the rise continues. Regards

Excuse the short reply.
Add sitemap to your robots.txt - And submit it to Google WMT.
Just use a free one if you're in the middle of developing?
Strange, assuming you weren't logged into google when checking?
Have you got analytics for the .net? Or is it simply fowarded?
That's about as comprehensive an answer as I could have hoped for. Thanks Ryan, really appreciated.
This made me say "What!" With some other words following.

Not specifically SEO, but when comments nowadays suggest link farming, also makes me go "What".
What makes you say 'what', White?
I would really try to avoid using 302's if possible, they can end up being more trouble than they're worth.
Setting up 301 redirects is a pain but helps the moving process to be a lot smoother. Nobody enjoys putting together a redirect list but it's a necessity, have 1000 still to get through myself!
If you're using Chrome, there are a few decent extensions for this. They highlight nofollow links with a red border or something similar but they aren't always 100%. Hope this helps.
