Someone mentioned us on facebook and brought 10k clicks to homepage.. how do I find the content?
-
So this morning our website started to go crazy with hits all coming from Facebook, and I am trying to figure out how I can see who was talking about us? All the traffic landed on one page specifically. When I look in analytics it just shows social, and then I can drill down to see they are coming from facebook, but that's it.

This will work if you have a unique title. However, Facebook will always show text from your friends posts first.
Don't forget to check your brand page mentions in the wall as someone might have tagged you. (If you have a brand page...)
You also might check somewhere like Reddit to see if people are sharing it there and if they mention where they found it.

Sadly, this is correct that Facebook doesn't pass anymore referral data.
This will get you posts that are public. YMMV on how many it returns since Facebook and Google don't play well together.

Maybe try a search internal to Facebook. Type your company name. Facebook will autosuggest options. Skip the one that probably represents your own facebook page, assuming you have one, and click on "company name" (probably the last option shown on the drop-down list).

In analytics you can't - referrer will always be just facebook.com
If it's a private profile in facebook which posted the link, you will probably never now.If it's a public one - you could try searching indexed pages of facebook in google like: "title of your landingpage" site:facebook.com or "url-of-your-site" site:facebook.com - but I doubt it will work

Try adding a secondary dimension for referral path in GA.

Clicks, impressions, CTR, & position decreased after adding meta descriptions
A website that I was working on did not have meta descriptions, had poorly optimized meta titles, and URL structure. I created optimized descriptions and titles for each page. I also updated the URL structure of select pages and created 301 redirects. Since I did this I noticed that my clicks, impressions, CTR, and position all decreased on Google Search Console (I just setup Search Console so I only have 1-week of data). Traffic on Google Analytics is about the same. Is this normal?

Impression and click discrepancies in Search Console when filtering by date
I recently filtered query information by week and day. The impression and click totals were different depending on whether I looked at totals by a full weeks or by day. So for example, the impression and click totals when I choose a date range of monday-sunday are different when I look at impressions and clicks that same week by day and then add up the click and impression numbers to get a weekly total. At first i was expecting a slight difference since I know the data is heavily sampled but the totals were very different. Any explanations for this? Thanks

Last click conversions (Assisted conversions report vs. Channels report)
Hi Mozzers, Does anyone know why the last click / direct conversions (by channel) in the 'assisted conversion report in Google Analytics do not match the conversions in the Channels report. I thought conversion data in the channels report was last click / direct conversions? Thanks for your help!

Organic Traffic going to Direct? How to find the ultimative proof
Hi there, a few months ago we had a new site launch. As we operate internationally, visitors in different countries do get redirected to the specific country subfolder. e.x. domain.com/it Since site launch. Direct Traffic is performing really really well(almost to good to be true) while organic is doing decent but not more. I'm quite sure, that a part of direct belongs to the organic channel. Though now I need strong arguments to fight against our own web development team. Do you have any suggestions, where and how I can find strong evidence of my hypotheses? Thanks in advance

Is it possible to have too much content?
Is it possible to have too much content? If so, how do we prove (or at least get evidence) one way or the other to whether we are being adversely affected in the SERPs? The only way we could think of is to publish a lot less for a week or two, but nobody is willing to risk it. Numbers wise we are publishing an average of 125 articles a day, with an archive of around 300k fwiw thanks 🙂

Is there any web analytics tool that let us track number of outgoing clicks (and visits) ?
I just wonder if we can measure outgoing visits from a specific URL with an online tool or not?
