Search Console Click Through Results
-
Hi Moz Community,
I've newly started using Google's search console on a regular basis, and I have a query about the results coming from the platform.
For example, I added this article URL to the console with field "URL containing" and "URL exact", and the results showed 71 clicks and 436 impressions over 12 months.
However, when looking at the queries that show in the results to see where the clicks are coming from, all of them state there's no clicks from the dozen or so queries that show.
Am I doing something wrong here? Is there a field I need to fill in to show more results/top results? I've tested a few article URL's and the same has happened.
Thanks in advance for any help.

No problem, thanks a lot for your advice and if I get an answer I'll be sure to post back on here for you!

That is actually really, really weird! I am sorry that I don't have an answer for you. What would be really cool, would be if you posted the Search Console bug on Google's Webmaster Central help forum. A Google rep or someone from the wider community may reply. If someone from their side does crack it, I'd be interested to hear the update here on Moz's forums

Thanks for your response.
Following what you’ve said, we can see the results of clickthroughs and impressions to our web page, stating there are 71 clickthroughs. Screenshot - https://imgur.com/BJHeyYp
However, when we review the queries section for the same page, it states there are no clickthroughs for any of the queries showing. Screenshot – https://imgur.com/YKJbaut (8 of 8 queries shown).
This seems odd to me, and my question is where can we see the queries that resulted in the clickthroughs to this page, if they’re not showing here?

1.) Select a web property in Google Search Console (remember that 'www' usage, protocol and HTTP vs HTTPS usage all render as different web properties in Search Console)

2.) Don't go into "Search Analytics", go into Google's new "Performance" report instead

3.) Click to browse pages, apply a filter here if it is your desire to do so (but it is not required, this can all be done with the mouse only). Once you find the page you want, click on it

4.) Once the page you want to look at has been 'clicked' and only that page is visible, go back to query data

5.) Check out the query data, which is related only to your chosen page

And that's that!

Lots of dublicate titles and pages on search page
I own a paiting website with a lot of searchable paintings. The "search paintings" feature creates tons of dublicate pages and titles. See here:
Algorithm Updates | | KasperGJ
http://www.maleribasen.dk/soegmaleri.asp I guess the problem is, that the URL can actually be different and still return the same content. First time you click the "Search paintings" the URL will shown as above. But as soon as users
begin to definere they search to the left and use the "Search button" the top URL changes. So, depending on how the top URL looks different results are shown. This is pretty standard in searches. But it returns tons of dublicate pages and titles. How, do you guys cope with that? Is there a clever way to use ref="cannonical" or some other smart way to avoid this? /Kasper0 -
Creating Content for Semantic search?
Need some good examples of semantic search friendly content. I have been doing a lot of reading on the subject, but have seen no real good examples of 'this is one way to structure it'. Lots of reading on the topic from an overall satellite perspective, but no clear cut examples I could find of "this is the way the pieces should be put together in a piece of content and this is the most affective ways to accomplish it". **What I know: ** -It needs to answer a question that precludes the 'keyword being used' -It needs to or should be connected to authorship for someone in that topic industry -It should incorporate various social media sources as reference to the topic -It should link out to authoritative resources on the topic -It should use some structured data markup Here is a great resource on the important semantic search pieces: http://www.seoskeptic.com/semantic-seo-making-shift-strings-things/ ,but I want to move past the research into creating the content that will make the connections needed to get the content to rank. I know Storify is an excellent medium to accomplish this off page, but only gives no follow attribution to the topic creator and links their in. I am not a coder, but a marketer and creating the backend markup will really take me out of my wheel house. I don't want to spend all of my time flailing with code when I should be creating compelling semantic content. Any helpful examples or resources welcome. Thanks in advance.

Search history Effects on SERPS
With search engines using adaptive search in their algo, what's the best way to reset? Currently I go to my browser which primarily is Safari second Firefox third Chrome, I empty the cache, clear history and remove all cookies and data. I also disable customerzation based on search history. Is this the best way of starting from scratch so my search results won't incorporate adaptive search tech? I also make sure I'm not signed into my gmail account since that can impact SERPS as well. What else should I be doing to make sure my search is not customized?

Google SERPS problem - "block all results from this domain - click here".
Anyone know what can be done about this when it happens to one of your own domains? On the Google SERPS page, underneath the Title, next to the Description, Google has added "Block all results from this domain?". I understand that this is a new "feature", aimed at allowing users to filter out results from low quality, pornograhphic or offensive sites. But the site in question is none of the above - any ideas how to tackle? Couldn't find anything yet by searching.
