Why Is Google Webmaster Tools Pulling Zero Keyword Data?
-
I just linked a Google Webmaster Tools account to Google Analytics for a client, and Search Engine Optimization reports are showing up in Google Analytics as enabled, but there is zero keyword data, landing page data, etc., in the reports themselves.
Has anyone encountered this?

Patrick: thanks so much for your help on this. I just wanted to circle back to tell you that the problem is now resolved. The site is "https://www.", and GWT was first setup as "http://" and then just "http://www." and both of those do a 301-redirect to "https://www." So in any case, adding a third Google Webmaster Tools account for the secure version of the URL seems to have cleared up the problem and unlocked the keyword query data.
-
I just realized that the "http://www." version of the website (which is setup in WMT is coming up as redirected to "https://www." I just added another WMT and verified ownership, and I'm wondering if this could solve the problem...so far no data, but at least I'm getting a message that WMT is in the process of gathering data for the account...
-
Okay - 99.9% sure that is your issue - make sure your WMT is properly implemented on your site - everything should fall into place then.
-
No, it is blank there too...Very strange.
-
When you login to WMT is there data populating?
-
Yes, totally empty of data.
-
Hi there
Nothing is coming through at all still? Is the Webmaster Tools data populating in it's profile?
Double check and make sure that you are connecting the right WMT account. I know this seems redundant, but I can't help that something isn't properly implemented somewhere - that's not a knock at all by the way, these things happen.
Let me know!
-
Thank you Patrick! Still no luck, but I'm reviewing my options and following your suggestions! Right now, this situation is frustrating all my attempts to fix it...

Hi there
I would make sure that your Webmaster Tools and Analytics is correctly configured and that you are the owner of the Webmaster Tools account to pass the data. I would also take a look at the Access Webmasters Tools data in Google Analytics Guide from Google.
Depending on when you connected the accounts, it could simply be a lag in data transferring. Give it some time. If it doesn't populate, I would check the resources above and make sure all of your bases are covered.
Let me know if this answers your questions - I would love to help! Good luck!

Magento 1.9 SEO. I have product pages with identical On Page SEO score in the 90's. Some pull up Google page 1 some won't pull up at all. I am searching for the exact title on that page.
I have a website built on Magento 1.9. There are approximately 290,000 part numbers on the site. I am sampling Google SERP results. About 20% of the keywords show up on page 1 position 5 thru 10. 80% don't show up at all. When I do a MOZ page score I get high 80's to 90's. A page score of 89 on one part # may show up on page one, An identical page score on a different part # can't be found on Google. I am searching for the exact part # in the page title. Any thoughts on what may be going on? This seems to me like a Magento SEO issue.

Where is sitelinks getting its data from?
Hi, This is an issue that is really upsetting my client. There are sitelinks that are coming up when you search for his business that aren't relevant as the other pages are! I assured him that there is nothing for me to do about it besides for demoting a sitelink, which is simply a suggestion in Google's eyes. 1. I would love to know why they are choosing the titles they are publishing, which is the shortened version of states? Where are they getting it from? I don't have any linking pages with such anchor text. The only thing I can think of is that there is a clickable map that has abbreviated words of that state. Would that do it? How could I change it? 2. Also, why are they choosing pages that are really not the top visited pages on my website instead of the pages that visitors are really interested in? Here is a snapshot of the issue: http://screencast.com/t/9w9C3DPAHvYb Thanks!

Google + and Schema
I've noticed with a few of the restaurant clients I work with that Schema isn't contributing at all to their SERP -- their Google + page is. Is there any way to have more control over what Google is pulling to help make UX better? I.e. showing photos of the restaurant without a logo, etc.

Google Search Analytics How to Get Search Keywords for a Page?
How do I get the keywords coming into a page on the new Google Webmaster Tools Search Analytics? Used to be there in the old version. You would just view your most popular urls and when you expanded the urls you would see the terms driving the traffic. How do I see the most popular keyword queries for a given page in the new tool? Alternatively can I still use the old tool somehow?

How does Google Keywords Tool compile search volume data from auto-suggest terms?
Hi everyone. This question has been nagging at my mind today ever since I had a colleague say "no one ever searches for the term 'presonus 16.4.2'" My argument is "Yes they do." My argument is based on the fact that when you type in 'presonus 16" - Google's auto-suggest lists several options, of which presonus 16.4.2 is one. That being said. Does Google's Keyword Tool base traffic estimates ONLY on actualy keywords typed in by the user, in this case "presonus 16" or does it also compile data for searchers who opt for the "suggested" term "presonus 16.4.2" ??? To clarify, does anyone have any insight as to whether Google is compiling data on strictly the term typed in from a use or giving precendence to a term being selected by a user that was listed as an auto-suggest, or, are they being counted twice???? Very curious to know everyone's take on this! Thanks!
