Skip to main content

Why would referring domains spike wildly from 60k to 6k and back multiple times this year??

Edit: post was removed for Image link I think, but title describes issue

Second edit: referring pages, not domains. Referring domains is a steady incline, pages are spiked.

Apologies if this is a silly Q, new to this forum - or please direct me to a better place to ask!- SEO is not really the main facet of my job but something my job touches upon -

does anyone know why this dramatic spiking keeps happening in referring URLS?? I thought maybe it was just a reflection of Google updates, but I took a look at some similar-sized competitors and they do not seem to have this.

It's confusing to me b/c I would otherwise think it was due to some sort of link farming/getting cracked down cycle, but we're not doing anything like that. It just keeps bouncing from 60k to 6k, like 4 times this past year.

Relevant info: we're constantly making changes to the website, but nothing major that I know of that would line up with this. I've also been creating content for the site pretty consistently, haven't been deleting anything. Small company, domain rank a little over 2mil. Source of data is Ahrefs.

HTTP-HTTPS redirects: domain level or each URL?

Googling for answers seems to give conflicting answers here. We have a domain that has been HTTP but some individual URLs have been HTTPS (like form pages). We are about to deploy HTTPS redirect on the server to get everything going to https://www.domain.com . Do we have to go to the effort of a big 301 redirect list of all page-level URLs without Google dropping our earned page rank? Thanks all! submitted by /u/runtmc2 [link] [comments] from Search Engine Optimization: The Latest SEO News https://ift.tt/31dJ82b

One website, two properties (domains)

I wasn't sure how to frame that title so let me explain; Due to error on my part, I have ended up with, a www.xyz.com , version of my website, and one that's just xyz.com. Now I'm tracking my traffic differently on GSC and GA. I'm not sure how to feel about this. Is there anyone with a similar situation? Should I just go on like usual or are there things I need to start doing differently? Kindly advise. submitted by /u/Blessed_Dude_101010 [link] [comments] from Search Engine Optimization: The Latest SEO News https://ift.tt/87Z2MRA
