Has Google changed its algorithm? My traffic has almost doubled and I don't know why.
-
My traffic has nearly doubled over the past few days, and my conversion rate has doubled as well.
It looks like our rankings haven't changed...
We haven't done anything to the site recently, although we did submit a couple of press releases through the wire not too long ago (within the last few weeks).
I do not think that this is a cyclical/seasonal jump in traffic because last year this did not occur.
Any ideas?

Product feeds are typically for eCommerce. It looks like you're in the mortgage business, so I don't know if there is something comparable or not. Perhaps someone in these forums can help us out on that. There may be a news feed or something similar.
Google, Bing and The Find will let you send them a product feed for free (as opposed to running a pay per click or pay per acquisition campaign).
Let's use Google for example. In short, our feed automatically sends Google our products with images, product name and info snippet with updates every day. Products in the feed are displayed in Google organic search and Google shopping. There are no pay per click or pay per acquisition charges.

Whats a product feed?
-
heh..... Christmas Bills was my guess.. but you said this didn't happen last year.
Is there a mortgage program or deduction in play?
-
Did someone add your site to a product feed while you were on a holiday vacation? Nothing like a product feed to put you on page one and increase your traffic/conversions by 30-50%.

This site resell affiliate traffic - so if you've visitors from this source, than somebody definitely register account and add you site.. if traffic stopped it can be trial $10.

My popular landing pages are all the same...
We're getting more referral traffic from searchcaveman.com - what is that? It still doesn't account for everything though.

Awesome news!
Check out you analytics account and track where the traffic came from...Has it come from a variety of sources or just a single source?
Maybe another website has just linked to you? or your being found for many more key terms?
Or your ranking well for a phrase your don't know about?
Analytics will be able to tell you.

Organic and direct traffic swap
We moved to a CMS (Webhook) and when we did that organic traffic and direct traffic swapped places. Since we moved it organic traffic is down by about 400 visits and direct traffic is up by 400 visits. I went through the list below and confirmed everything is working. The http refer wasn't being passed for a couple of weeks but the issue was resolved and the organic traffic issue is still ongoing. Is there anything else that may cause this issue? I confirmed the issue isn't one of the below problems. during http to https redirect (or vice versa) the referrer may not be passed incorrect subdomain or cross-domain tracking can strip the referrer. 302 redirects sometimes caused the referrer to be dropped problems with cookies being lost/corrupted. javascript missing from certain entry pages (means any further page view looks like a direct)

Conflicting data in Google Analytics
Hi Guys I've been looking at the data for a client in Google analytics and I was wondering if anyone knows why some of the data doesn't tally up. In my case its the following: Under Aquisition

No of Sessions for a Keyword shown in Organic Search tab (compared to)
No of Clicks for a Query in the Search Engine Optimisation tab For example, for a brand term, Google are showing 17 Sessions in Organic Search.
For the same term Google are showing 90 Clicks in the Queries section of Search Engine Optimisation OK, we know that Google are a little cloak and dagger regarding keyword data but surely Sessions and Clicks for the same keyword should be identical unless I'm missing something.0 -
Google Analytics - Not provided info
Morning all, i am using Google analytics for some time now, One of the issues that i don't have a clear answer for is, when i am looking at Traffic Source --> overview In the Keyword column, that is a line (not provided) What we think here is that we cant see the keywords if someone arrived to our website but was logged-in to Google account Is this correct? is there a way to find the keywords behind this (not provided)? - i have many visits for this line (17.3% of all visits) and i don't know which keywords people used. Thank you SeoWise

Results Google in different browsers
I have changed one of my company pages. Now I saw that the Google position is different using IE of Firefox. In IE we are at position 1, in Firefox we are at position 4. Does anybody know, why this is? And how I could change this for different browsers? At the end the results are from Google.

Should I delete a page that gets search traffic, that I don't care about?
I have a page on my site that consistently gets traffic, every month. Googlers seems to love it. But I don't like it at all. Webmaster tools shows that google allows us a certain number of search impressions each day. - it flatlines, they are limiting the impressions we get. We also getthe same number of clickthroughs each day. So my question is for anyone who has this same experience, who may have experimented by deleting a page you don't care about. Did you just lose that number of clicks each day or did other pages on your site get displayed and clicked through instead?

Will Bing/Google's engine index a page that has only been on social media?
Will Bing's engine index and rank a page that has only been seen on social media and has no inbound links? Will Google's? Are inbound links absolutely required to get a page indexed and ranking and getting traffic? If unknown, how would you go about testing this?

Google Analytics - Intelligence Custom Alerts
When you add an intelligence custom alert does it look at the history and backdate issues? I've added a few custom alerts, even basic ones like my homepage gets 5 views, create an alert. I either need to wait a day or something is going wrong. Cheers.
