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.

Will adjusted bounce rate affect avg time on page?
I recently read Rob Beirne's piece on how and why to set up an adjusted bounce rate in Google Analytics (https://mza.seotoolninja.com/blog/adjusted-bounce-rate). I am getting myself ready to talk to our site team about why we should set up an adjusted bounce rate and am anticipating some questions I'd like to be able to answer: 1. Will an adjusted bounce rate improve the accuracy of our avg time on page metrics? 2. Are we able to keep the unadjusted bounce rate in GA as well, so we can compare the two metrics if we ever need to? Does anyone know the answers to these questions? Any help would be much appreciated!

Get a list of robots.txt blocked URL and tell Google to crawl and index it.
Some of my key pages got blocked by robots.txt file and I have made required changes in robots.txt file but how can I get the blocked URL's list. My webmaster page Health>blocked URL's shows only number not the blocked URL's.My first question is from where can I fetch these blocked URL's and how can I get them back in searches, One other interesting point I see is that blocked pages are still showing up in searches.Title is appearing fine but Description shows blocked by robots.txt file. I need urgent recommendation as I do not want to see drop in my traffic any more.

Get Stats on Search Box Usage, Using Google Analytics?
Let me preface this by first saying I am NOT using the Google Adsense Search feature. The question I am asking is pertaining to the standard search box that comes already coded in most .php blogs. In the Google Analytics, is there a way to tell how many people are searching using the search box? I've looked through the navigation and pathway options in analytics and I don't seem to see anything that definitively points to the number of people using the search box but, perhaps, I am overlooking it. Any insight?

Why do I get lots of traffic from a bizarre keyword?
Bit of an odd one but I've been getting a large and steady stream of traffic over the last few months from a very random keyword that according to addwords figures shows "on data". Its our second biggest referring term only beaten by our brand name. We get more traffic from this term than keywords we have invested a lot of time in that show thousands of traffic volume in addwords. When looking at behavioral data its gets odder, a bounce rate of 98.11% time on site 2 seconds and page visits 1.02. So this traffic isn't real traffic and it's not real people. So my questions are, what is it? why do we get this random traffic, has anyone els noticed things like this and is it a problem? I presume it must be something to do with some sort of spam but apart from that i'm stumped. It's just one of those things that has been bugging me so I would appreciate any help. Kind Regards Paul
