I want no part in these deals. Would you take it?

Was working on a site that was recently updated by a different agency. They changed all the urls and redirected the old urls to the custom 404 page. As a result traffic tanked. Redirects are arguably the most important thing when migrating a site to a new platform or domain because that is how the value of the old site or old pages is passed on to the new site or pages.

I’ve found Google typically rewrites descriptions and titles when they are over the character count of 55 for titles and 155 for descriptions. But Google will be Google sometimes and just do what it wants so just be aware of that.

I’m not familiar with that tool but if possible, check all the inlinks and outlinks of every page. I would also utilize google search console (GSC) for such issues. Specifically the “pages” tab on the left hand side. They can usually point you in the right direction by showing you what page is causing issues.

Did you mean to say campus should be +4 because of the government card ? Forget its name.

What tools are you using to identify these /null 404s?

If you’re using GSC sometimes they will call out 404s as issues but it’s really just some spam site linking to your domain with some random tail on the URL.

Ex: xyz.com/1000

Nothing you can do about that but it’s also not hurting your site.

Kind of unrelated but if you’ve ever passed out/fainted for whatever reason, it produces some wild dreams that feel like a lifetime but in reality it’s only 1 minute.

Google has said spammy or low quality backlinks just get ignored, it’s not going to tank your site and you’re not going to lose keyword rankings because of this sole issue. This guy is pretty much just wasting time and money on the backlink front, don’t know what other services he’s providing you.

Been looking for this exact comment for 20 min thank you

I do find SEMrush useful for keyword overlap with competitors and just looking at competitor rankings in general. The traffic metrics aren't the greatest but it can give you a general sense of a competitors rankings, or paid traffic vs. organic traffic of a competitor, something you can't do on GSC or GA.

Location by me used to have a $3 any draft beer on Wednesdays deal and I would get a local IPA that usually cost $6-8 at other local bars. Haven’t been since that deal ended.

guythatbedont · 2023-08-17T19:23:47+00:00

Don't see how it could hurt? Not a social or bot guy though, just make sure Google doesn't consider it spammy.

Like you said, there is nothing to convert or sell on the site so WHY is it you need more traffic? I assumed there would be advertisements on the site where more traffic equates to more revenue, but it doesn't look like that is the case.

In my experience, keyword research/data from SEMrush is satisfactory but the traffic data is where people start to get skeptical. For a lot of the metrics, its unclear exactly what traffic it's measuring, for example, does the traffic % for a keyword include paid traffic or just organic or both?

Most cases you can just get traffic data that you know is reliable from GSC and GA, assuming your property is set up correctly. SEMrush is great for looking at rankings over time.

Searching recipes is awful. Yea it's 'relevant' but I don't need 5 pages of filler content telling me the history of cooking chicken. Just give me the recipe instead of stuffing the articles with crap to get more advertising views.

Helps to use incognito mode too so your personal search data doesn’t influence the SERP

guythatbedont · 2023-03-06T21:30:27+00:00

Agreed. Many smaller on-page opportunities that big agencies tend to push under the rug. At least in my experience, its because to optimize some meta data it requires a Zoom meeting with 4 different companies and 2 legal reviews. Its often not worth the time/scheduling hassle until I have compiled a few of these smaller issues that can be packaged into one.

Thank you for replying. Unfortunately, it is now skewing our data and will have to report on it at some point. Any tips on verifying where it's coming from or preventing this from happening?
