Want To Record How Visitors Are Using Your WebSite? Try Inspectlet

| |
0 comments

Have you ever wanted to see how random visitors are using your site? Well, I always wanted to & this post is all about that. But before I tell you about this amazing tool, let me quickly tell you about one important term that anyone who works online should know. i.e. Conversion Optimization
Conversion optimization is the system to increase the percentage of users to take any desired action on your site.
  • For an E-Commerce site, it could be as simple as purchasing a product.
  • For a whitepaper landing page, it is signing up for the form.
  • For a blog it could be sharing an article, commenting or taking any desired action.
From past few months, I have been focusing on tracking users behavior on my site & making changes accordingly. I have been using SumoMe for tracking Heatmap & content analysis. I always wanted to see how users are interacting with my content.
  • Are they able to navigate properly?
  • What are the roadblocks on a page?
  • At what stage does a user leave a page or abandon the cart?
Recently, I came across a great tool called Inspectlet, which let any website owner see how visitors are using their site. It’s not like this tool is the first of it’s kind as I have used such tools in the past but this one is pretty easy to use & anyone can start using it in literally 5 minutes.
This post is not a review rather a hands-on experience with Inspectlet. So, let’s get on with learning about another must have conversion optimization tool for every website owner.

Getting started with recording users behavior on your web page: Inspectlet

With this tool, you can record users session, track heat map that includes (Scroll, Click & Eye-tracking heatmaps). It’s like watching individual visitor use your site as if you’re looking over their shoulders.
I got to know about Inspectlet from Producthunt & for the moment, I thought this tool is going to cost a bomb. But I was surprised when I checked their pricing page, as the pricing was nominal & to get start with they are offering a free plan which let us record 100 sessions.
Inspectlet pricing
Another problem which I often face when using a new tool is integration. Well, that was also easy as all I needed to do was add few lines of javascript code & that’s it. The JavaScript loads asynchronously in a non-blocking fashion, meaning that it’s loaded while your other page resources are loading. It doesn’t delay visual page rendering, nor does it delay the javascript document ready or onload event, so your users see absolutely no difference in performance.
Configure Inspectlet
After adding the code, it’s a good idea to flush your cache. Now, once that is done you should be able to start seeing the session recording right away.
Recorded users screen
In the above screen, you can see in total 55 sessions are recorded. I have created this video to show you how the session recording looks like (No sound in the video)

Subscribe on Youtube


You have a choice to record users session on particular pages & this is pretty useful when you are optimizing your sales funnel or an important landing page.
Optimizing Sales funnnel
To configure the page you wish to track, click on the dashboard & select ‘Targeting” option to configure.
Track selected pages
Depending upon the kind of website you are running, this tool can do wonders for you. So, go ahead & try Inspectlet.
Do let me know how was your experience & feedback of this tool. If you know of similar tools which let us record users session, do share with us in the comment section below.

Google's Matt Cutts Warns About Linking Too Many Sites Together

| |
0 comments
Yesterday, Google's Matt Cutts posted a video answer to the question "If I have 20 domains, should I link them all together?"
The short answer is, most likely no - you should not link them all together.
As I explained at Search Engine Land with my article titles Google's Matt Cutts: Linking 20 Domains Together Likely A "Cross Linking Scheme" - it may be considered by Google as a cross linking scheme - at least those are the words used by Matt Cutts.
Here is the video:

As you can see, the overall theme and feeling you get from Matt is that it is typically a bad idea.
So the next question I will hear is what about linking 18 sites, or 15 sites, or what about 10 or 5 sites together. I love those questions. Those asking those questions are linking the sites for one purpose, ranking.
So what about it? :)

Google News OneBox Card Style

| |
0 comments
Aaron Bradley spotted a new look for the Google News OneBox results, as you would see them in the Google web search results. The new design for the news results in the web search results look more like “Cards” that Google has been using within their Google Now and mobile views.

Here is a screen shot from Bradley:


The top image is the new card view, the middle image is the standard news result with an image and the bottom image is the standard news result without an image.

I would not be surprised if we see Google continue to unify the interfaces among desktop and mobile.

If you want to see this in action, you may be able to try it for a search on [cia news] on Google.com.

  • Card Style: [cia news] on google.com
  • Normal Style: [snowden on google.com
  • Middle: [cia] on google.com

Google Showing Ten Sitelinks For Domain Searches

| |
0 comments
Search Google for your domain name, and if that doesn't work try [ gravityinformatics.com ] - you should see ten large sitelinks come up under the main site listing:



Do you like this? I mean, domain restrictive search is probably a bit more navigational in nature than searching for a brand name.
I am not sure if this is a test or something everyone sees.
Sachin Bisaani first spotted this and posted about it on Google+.

I am not sure that Matt Cutts will enjoy this too much but hey, if you ever see him at an SEO convention, it may appear as if he is a god. So why not be dressed like moses, holding the ten commandments in his hands with a halo-like glow behind him?
Steve Toth put together the 10 Commandments of SEO infographic and featured Cutts at the top. The 10 commandments include:
Thou Shalt Not:
(1) Have an Unnatural Link Profile
(2) Cloak and Use Hidden Text
(3) Steal / Duplicate Content
(4) Spin Content
(5) Stuff Keywords
(6) Spam Google Maps
(7) Create Microsites
(8) Sell Links
(9) Go Overboard on Ads
(10) Create Multiple Websites to Rank for the Same Business

Tilde Operator Removed From Google To Give More Space For Indexing More Web Sites

0 comments
Tuesday we reported that Google quietly dropped the ~tilde operator due to lack of use.
The operator helped searches find synonymous, a form of expanding your query. It was primarily used by librarians and also SEMs looking for keyword research ideas.
Google's head of search spam, expanded on why Google dropped the feature. Matt Cutts said on Twitter that yes, it wasn't used much at all by real searchers and by removing the operator it take up less "indexing space" Google "could use for more pages."
Here is Matt Cutts tweet:




What would you prefer? More of your pages indexed or the ~tilde operator? Why not both? ;-)

0 comments
Jade Wang from Google's local business team announced in aGoogle Business Help thread that if you see new categories in your business listings, please refrain from updating them.
Jade explained there is a bug (don't be surprised) that they are working on fixing and if you edit those categories, it may cause more issues.
Jade wrote:

We've found a technical issue affecting some users that causes a handful of new categories are showing up in Places dashboards. We're working on a fix and will come back with an update when we can. Please do not edit these categories for now while we work on the issue. Please note that these categories do not show on the publicly-available listing.
So be warned. Jade has not yet said when it is safe to go in and editor those categories.

Google AdWords Keyword Tool Redirecting Some Users To Keyword Planner Instead

| |
0 comments
Frederic Chanut shared on Google+ an interesting Google AdWords bug with the keyword tool.
Some are reporting that when you login to your AdWords account and click on the tools drop down and select the keyword tool, Google won't take you to the keyword tool. Instead of Google taking you to the keyword tool, Google is taking you to the new keyword planner tool.
As you can imagine, this can be frustrating for advertisers and also scary. It might be a sign that Google may replace the keyword tool with the planner tool?
Here is a screen shot of the behavior:
Personally, logged in or out, the keyword tool works and does not redirect me to the planner tool.

I am not sure if this is a sign that the keyword tool will be replaced by the keyword planner or if this is a weird bug upsetting a subset of advertisers?

Google's Matt Cutts Confirms Some Type Of Update Happening

| |
0 comments
For the past week or so, I've been seeing a lot of chatter around a Google updating happening. The thing is, it is hard to tell what is going on right now.
The WebmasterWorld thread has a lot of chatter that symbolizes an update but that chatter has been pretty steady for the past couple weeks or so. In addition, the monitoring tools, such as MozCast shows higher signs of volatility than normal. Here are the temperatures 73° on June 24, 86° on June 23, 77° on June 22, 71° on June 21 and 72° on June 20. So pretty hot days this week and the week before.
The kicker is on Friday, Matt Cutts tweeted that there is an update being pushed out over multiple weeks. Matt said:
Multi-week rollout going on now, from next week all all the way to the week after July 4th.
I think this is in response to spam algorithm and not the softer Panda algorithm - although, they both might be updating now, as well as other things might be going on at the same time.
The reason I think it is spam algorithm related is because @screamingfrog tweet about a [car insurance] query was what Matt responded to.
I will see if I can get more details from Matt Cutts and will let you know the details when I hear back.

I am sure my readers will have a field day with this screen shot. Search for [treatment for cancer] and take a look at the search results.



 Brent Nau spotted this and posted a screen shot on Google+, he said:
I have seen the Google SERPs for queries regarding health conditions and symptoms, but I have not seen where Google is actual scraping the authoritative sites and presenting the actual text at the top of the search results for "treatment" type keywords. (BTW - not suffering from IBS, client research!)

Tell Google Spider not to catch specific section of the content

Tell Google Spider not to catch specific section of the content 



To avoid duplicate content  we can have following things

1)      Making the URL not to index in Google , but this would really drop the visitors
2)      Telling Google Spider not to catch  Specific section of the Content  

è Having I frame (spider can’t catch the content )

è Having  Google off and Google on tag

Having this tag

Ex:

         <p> But for US auto General Motors, that is a mere footnote. The Sail U-VA launched in India last week is its litmus test, a make-or-break launch. Its success will determine whether GM’s 2-year-old tie-up with China’s SAIC works in terms of direct product launches in India. </p>

 
                    <!--googleoff: index-->

 
         <p>The facia is accentuated in places with lines and creases that make it appear big and muscular. There are no surprises at the rear, either, and a lack of inspiration becomes evident. The high strung vertical tail lamps are a doneto- death design, and from the back the car looks boxy. Design is not adventurous or eye catching, but functional.</p>

 
                    <!--googleon: index>

index - content surrounded by “googleoff: index” will not be indexed by Google

   

Let make the URL , Meta description , Heading Unique by adding some relevant dynamic one words    


Ex:

Sulekh News : Chinese checkers against the Samurai - Chevy Sail U-VA – Review  in http://cars.sulekha.com/chinese-checkers-against-the-samurai-chevy-sail-u-va-review_424236_review

 

Chinese checkers against the Samurai - Chevy Sail U-VA – Review   the original one in http://travel.sulekha.com/chinese-checkers-against-the-samurai-chevy-sail-u-va-review_424236_review

 
Adding <Sulekh News : > in front of the Heading tag will  avoided Duplicated issue similarly we can do it for  URL, Meta tags

 
And the body of the content in <!--googleoff: index--> tags  or in Iframe

Hence our URL get index , avoid duplicity in Body of our page, get visitors  

 

Note : Iframe content can cached by Google but not by yahoo & bing  So if we use iframe and <!--googleoff: index--> tags together  then we can avoid Duplicate issue for all major search engine
