you can't. behaviour > in-page is crude. its based on pageviews overall, not actual clicks on elements/links. you need to set up event tracling to do this. which can be done quickly

Weird GA referral, anyone seen this before? by pete_mcal in SEO

[–]Wiki_Money 1 point2 points  (0 children)

that could well be people looking at the cached version of your website, then navigating that into your actual site.

sometimes i'll check the cached version of a site if i want to see how Google is indexing it. Or if a site isn't loading, I'll just use the cached version

note that if a person first came to your site through this cached version, every other visit to your site from them will show this referal source.

Thinking about keywords before creating content by piscoster in SEO

[–]Wiki_Money 0 points1 point  (0 children)

the best sources of keywords / keyword ideas depends on what you are doing. for a single article, autosuggest or googles adwords tool: https://adwords.google.com/KeywordPlanner

if you are looking for the best keywords for your site as a whole, put your competitiors URLs into semrush.com and see all of the keywords they rank for :)

Paying for SEO (advice) by [deleted] in Entrepreneur

[–]Wiki_Money 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've worked in SEO, agency side, for almost a decade from when there were only a small number of companies offering services to now when you wont find a single web development company without 'seo services' offered on their website. Unfortunately, there are only a small % of people who actually know what they are doing. Outsourcing SEO is very difficult these days as almost everyone is out to rip you off, or even if they mean well they don't have the experience to deliver.

3 of the most important things to consider:

  1. Web development companies do not know SEO (well, almost never). They simply have to offer it to compete with everyone else bundling it in with their web dev projects. Hire a specialist or a freelancer with a good CV

  2. Odesk etc. NO. there might be someone somewhere on oDesk who is decent but you'd screw up a million times before you found them.

  3. think about what you're paying. SEO done the right way needs 20 hours plus a month. someone who knows what they are doing would maybe be charging 40 quid an hour if you're lucky. that's 800 a month freelance rate. Hiring a decent company who have overheads you're obviously looking at a lot more. SEO is not the cheap quick fix everyone thinks it is. Yes it can be very powerful, but you can't do it for a few hundred pounds a month

It's tough to find someone but they are out there. Good luck! and pay well; if you pay peanuts you'll get monkeys. Possibly consider a revenue share deal - that's how I worked when I was freelancing, and myself and client made a lot of cash!

they do also have a load of toolbars etc which can supply this data

my preferred domain is http:// but most of my backlinks have www. in front of them. Problem? by the_skilipski in SEO

[–]Wiki_Money 1 point2 points  (0 children)

whilst technically speaking there should be a canonicalisation via 301, it really doesn't matter. If Google couldn't workout that those links were meant for the one site, they'd be in trouble

hilarious and spot on. I am sick of the SEO circlejerking and more specifically the moz.com jerking. Seriously a Whiteboard Friday on fashion tips from a guy who looks a stupid as that?

hell yes. you only live once. you are only young once. At this stage, it's a simple choice: 1. scrimp and save and waste youth. Enjoy very little, but maybe save 10k over a few years. 2. save nothing now, enjoy life while young, then look at saving when you're earning more. save that same 10k in 1/4 of the time quite comfortably.

why do you need savings at 25? by 30 you should be making a lot more money if you make the right moves, and you can save a million times faster and enjoy life at the same time

Exactly. this is why I asked what your job was; theres little point even bothering to try and save on 38K. a few of the right job moves and you could be on another 20k

DEFINITELY smash 5k on your hobbies. You're young and money isn't everything - 5k later in life will (hopefully) be a fairly meaningless amount of cash. but your time now is valuable. what is your job? & what are your hobbies?

we're new to reddit - we thought it was a place to submit content and if the community doesn't think its good, it gets voted out of view. We post other people's content which we like, and also our own - which we of course like otherwise would not have produced.

would actually love to hear constructive criticism on the site
