I have few domain names that all are redirecting to one domain name. Currently i am using the html tag <meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0;url=mydomain.com/" />. I was hoping that all the redirected traffic will increase my main domain page rank due to the traffic.
But I read yesterday that this ‘refresh’ meta tag is actually bad for SEO. They mentioned there that search engine actually unindex domains like that and therefore i would lose that traffic and the domains would not show up in search results.

Can any one suggest me a good way to redirect the traffic from my secondary domains to my primary one? I would like to monitor the traffic in the secondary domains as well as in the primary domain. Currently i am using google analytics to give me traffic information about all the domains.

Please, when answering this question include whether your method is SEO friend, and how? And, also include whether i can monitor it with google analytics or maybe you can suggest other traffic analytics tool?

Thanks.

I need some help understanding how exactly to create the keywords behind my officelive website. Anybody have any advice or basic instructions? I have Advanced Web Metrics with Google Analytics right next to me, but that’s just too much. I am using Google Analytics.

Thanks.

I have my website link and company information on several different websites, that pertain to my industry. When I ran Google analytics for my website, it did Not show my website as having any back links. I guess I do not understand what a back link is and how it works. Could someone please explain what it is that I need to do in order for the back link to be recognized? Thanks!

I understand that pages’ rankings can be heavily influenced by appearing or being linked to from more respected / large / proper web sites.

Say for each time the string ‘http // www. wherever . com / a file.html" appears in the source, we will call it an instance.

Would the crawler consider any or all of the following as ‘instances’, in the source and if so, which one(s)..

Example 1 ( a direct, visible link ) .
<a href = " http : // www. thesite . com / a file. html " > regular link < / a >

example 2 (simply displayed as just text, no link.)
" i found this page it’s at http : // www. the site . com / a file. html "

example 3 (the one I’m most curious about, a link commented out)

< ! — analytics / hitbox / whatever else code and meta tags
< a href = " www. thesite. com / a page. html " >& nbsp ; < /a>
– >

Any help or educated guesses are appreciated.

Just an update…

Basically, would examples 2 and 3 have the same weight as example 1…

thanks.

I have a small business and use Google analytics but really am looking to increase my traffic quickly without paying a big service

Our Web hosting agency provides us with Web Trends (a version from the dark ages) yet they refuse to apply the browsers.ini filter to our tracking configuration to filter out search spiders. My company does not want to switch hosting agencies because the one we have is so reasonably priced. So, I am considering setting up Google Analytics for our sites. I don’t want to wind up in the same situation though – does Google Analytics filter out search engine bots from tracked data?

According to our dark ages Web Trends, search spiders are approximately 75% of our traffic. Therefore I completely mistrust the accuracy of pretty much all the metrics – visits, page views, average visit duration, bounce rate, etc. Do you think Google Analytics can provide us with a more accurate measure of our sites’ performance???

I am a beginner but have learned a lot about search engine optimization (SEO). We have worked on Google AdWord campaigns, Yahoo! Search Marketing, and used Google Analytics. We used a broad search as well as an industry specialized search, which has obviously been more cost effective.

I have recently submitted our company and link to multiple industry directories with higher PageRank than ours. I have used free keyword tools found in AdWords, Analytics, and Search Marketing, respectively, as well as the free tool on wordtracker.

Also, we have recently created static pages to our web site for added content. Hopefully our recent steps (directory submission, upping our bids in PPC programs, and creating content based pages) will work.

Can anyone help on ways to direct more traffic to our site? Help us maximize our ROI? We usa a dynaminc web site but want to raise our PageRank and site visits.

Thank you,

How do you use website seo analytics to make more money? I see this all the time but have no idea what they are used for or how. Http://seositehelp.com has this dodad where you put in your website address and a whole bunch of stuff pops up. All I understand is visitors and page rank….what do i do with the rest of these numbers?

Our company has a good customer base built up since 2002 and currently is undergoing a rebrand from one website domain which is No.2 on Google Page 1 (using organic search keywords ‘personalised cards) www.remind4u.com

I am undergoing SEO work but I need to know more about how soon it will take Google to recognise the new website and domain www.funkypigeon.com and the 301 redirect traffic and be on page one as remind4u.com is at present.

The new website has been SEO optimised by myself in advance, HTML tags, keywords, ALT tags, Google Analytics is set up and Google Webmaster code installed, some directories and backlinks already in place, we have a blog, facebook page, twitter account, bebo and myspace, everything is set for the launch on Friday 9th October.

So, when the day comes for the 301 redirect to be applied, the old site will slowly lose rank, but how soon (hours / days / weeks?) will the new website build up Google’s trust and ranking?
