Blog owners using Google Analytics ? - GoFuckYourself.com

Can you go to your analytics account and select a site with decent traffic, then click traffic sources, search engines and Yahoo?

Do you have a serious drop in traffic on Dec 1st?

Nothing unusual here ... all seems good

V_RocKs · 12-20-2008, 05:30 AM

Strange thing is... As far as I can tell from the server logs I am still getting that Yahoo traffic.

Looks steady here. And I'm using the old java include.

Survey says: clear all your cookies and saved sessions, go to Google and search for indexed pages of your site through a query like site:domain.com. Click on one of the results, and see if your blog (WP probably) has the SE-visitor redirect hack.

Edit: or do this with Yahoo, I guess.

What is this SE-visitor redirect hack?

Yahoo traffic to my blog has more than doubled in the last two months according to google analytics

$5 submissions · 01-28-2009, 06:15 PM

Mine dipped in December but ramped back up in January.

Redmanthatcould · 01-28-2009, 06:18 PM

Can't seem to get Yahoo off the ground to compete with Google #s, but no...don't see a drop off as you mention.

V_RocKs · 01-28-2009, 06:33 PM

strange thing is that I still have all of the traffic and it is coming from yahoo... but just not showing up in analytics anymore.

In some older versions of Wordpress, there's a hack that redirects users that come from search engines.

mine is pretty par. just a slight dip, nothing like the graph you posted.

TheSenator · 01-28-2009, 07:06 PM

Nothing...same

kane · 01-28-2009, 08:00 PM

I'm seeing some of the same things. What I think analytics is not counting, at least for me, is image search traffic. For example I have one blog that gets around 2,000 uniques a day. about 1,800 of those are from SE's. My server stats still shows around 2K a day, but analytics only shows getting around 1500 a day and it shows nothing from google images (where most of the image traffic is coming from.) I'm not sure why that is.

avalanche · 01-28-2009, 09:38 PM

No change here, but I also have found Google Analytics to be low compared to server side stats to the tune of 30-40% at times.

VicD · 01-29-2009, 02:08 AM

Everything fine here

qxm · 01-29-2009, 02:13 AM

... take it a bit slower on the promotion mon... I had a site I was aggressively promoting and all of the sudden shit hit the fan and had no more Google traffic.. only Yahoo and MSN.... it is one out of 20 so now I know what the threshold is and... how far I can go without getting on Google's bad side......

ExLust · 01-29-2009, 02:21 AM

Steady so far.
