Time to get reconsideratio n request?
-
Hi there, recently I have been getting failed reconsideration requests back within 7 days. The last one i submitted (third) is now 2 weeks and no message back. Does this mean do you think it's gone to the next stage of auditing? is it a good sign?
Typically when failed I have always has that response within 7 days. I also noticed a slight improvement in rankings but no message back in webmaster tools.
Does anyone have experience with this? if so does this sound about right? thanks guys.

Unfortunately, they aren't very consistent about this. They've gotten better about communicating eventually, but it's really tough to say whether a delay is a good or bad thing. One thing I'd warn about is not resubmitting too often. If you're getting multiple failed requests, Google could start to devalue future requests.

I cant really comment on what their exact process is in there but I have experienced getting an RR rejected even after 3 weeks.
In theory, i think when you submit a disavow list, it gets processed in a few hours. Your RR will then be viewed by some outsourced personnel in Asia where they can read your RR (when it's your turn after a queue) then cross check from their "culprit links" database (from manual penalties) to see if you have indeed included those links in the disavow list. Then they send you an email telling you that you missed some links along with a couple examples. lol

Do you think the longer it takes the better sign it is that it might be removed?
I have a theory that it might go through stages of auditing?

they will reply to you even if it takes them over 3 weeks. I've never had an RR go past 3 weeks. Just wait a few more days.

Whats the best way to move 30% of our content behind a paywall and still get indexed without penalties and without letting people see our content before they subscribe.
Hi all - We want to create a membership program so that they can get more great stuff from us and offers, deals, etc. but only if they qualify to be a member via a purchase for example. The question is we want to move only some of our content (c.30%) behind the membership curtain - will be a mix of SEO value content. There are few questions/ concerns I am hoping you the SEO community can help me with: How can i ensure Google continues to index it without getting penalized. If i tell google bot to index but not allow Google and other sites to see the membership content will that create a penalty? Is that considered a form of cloaking? How can i prevent having to reveal 3 pages a day under Google's First Click Free set-up. I suppose i want my cake and eat it and i suspect the answer is well i cant. Any help or insights that can help me make this decision better is gratefully accepted.

Getting google impressions for a site not in the index...
Hi all Wondering if i could pick the brains of those wise than myself... my client has an https website with tons of pages indexed and all ranking well, however somehow they managed to also set their server up so that non https versions of the pages were getting indexed and thus we had the same page indexed twice in the engine but on slightly different urls (it uses a cms so all the internal links are relative too). The non https is mainly used as a dev testing environment. Upon seeing this we did a google remove request in WMT, and added noindex in the robots and that saw the index pages drop over night. See image 1. However, the site still appears to getting return for a couple of 100 searches a day! The main site gets about 25,000 impressions so it's way down but i'm puzzled as to how a site which has been blocked can appear for that many searches and if we are still liable for duplicate content issues. Any thoughts are most welcome. Sorry, I am unable to share the site name i'm afraid. Client is very strict on this. Thanks, Carl image1.png

Is it possible to get demographic and interest information from DoubleClick cookies?
We use Google Analytics and we are currently extracting information from the Google Analytics cookies about our visitors. Is it possible to access DoubleClick cookies in a similiar fashion and get some demographic/interest information for each visitor to our website (if they have a DoubleClick cookie set)? If so, any information on how to retrieve it would be very appreciated.

Time on page: What happens when I open many tabs?
Hello everyone, I was studying Analytics, and checked that the time on page is calculated by the diference of the time you entered the page and when you click to go to another one. But how the time is calculated when I open several links using new tabs in different moments? Does Google counts the last tab? Just a guess... Thanks!
