Thank you, Dirk. This sounds very possible. I will see if I can find a mention on there.
Thanks,

How do I find out where my "direct traffic" came from?posted in Reporting & Analytics
Last weekend we had a significant rise in traffic to our site. Digging in to Google Analytics, most of it has come from the USA, with some from Canada, Australia and a few other countries. It has all gone to the same article on our website. I have also found that it has mostly come from Safari (in app), on an ipad and iphone.
Google Analytics has put this down as Direct traffic. My feeling is that it is not. Could it be from a social media app - perhaps someone with many followers has pinned from our site, or something along these lines.
Could it actually be organic search traffic and Google misattributing it as Direct?
Bounce rate and time on site is fine, so I don't think it's a bot / spam.
Any ideas / places I could go to help me find out would be appreciated, thank you.Joss

RE: Keywords in site maps. Can there be too many? Can they be considered to be stuffed?posted in On-Page Optimization
Thank you for your response. My gut feel at seeing the page on this site was along these lines, so it's good to see the official line from Google. I wonder how long it will be before search engines pick up on this.
Thanks,

Keywords in site maps. Can there be too many? Can they be considered to be stuffed?posted in On-Page Optimization
Hi everyone,
I'd appreciate some insight on a keyword stuffed site map I've seen on a site similar to ours (we don't have this kind of menu ourselves).
https://www.1stdibs.com/sitemap/jewelry/stone/pink-diamond/
This is accessed from a site map. Do you think it's too blatant / keyword stuffed? I haven't done this with our site, but am interested to see a big reputable site doing something so clearly just for SEO.
Would it work? Or would search engines dislike it? I'd really appreciate your thoughts.
Thank you.

RE: How can I track my rankings on Google Images?posted in Reporting & Analytics
Okay thank you for letting me know, Malcom. I had a feeling it might not be possible, although I'm a little disappointed that no-one is seeing the benefit of doing this as yet. In the future no doubt.
Thanks.

How can I track my rankings on Google Images?posted in Reporting & Analytics
I noticed a small amount of traffic coming from a particular very generic keyword. Being pleasantly surprised that we are ranking for this, and after some digging, I found that we are actually ranking in Google images, rather than in the web results. How can I track whether other keywords are ranking in Google images? I use Rank Checker to track keywords in the main web results, but this doesn't have a function for Google Images. Help please - thanks.
