Hi all - I hope everyone had a good Christmas.
Here are some SEO questions I have - they are probably dumb questions but I am good at that.
Google Analytics data - Traffic Sources - what does it mean when you have Google.com/referral in the list of visitors sources in addition to Google Organic? The Google "dot" extension can be for any country followed by /refferal - on some of my sites I have about 25 plus of these. Maybe the question should really be how have those referrals been generated? (rather than what does it mean). Also are these referrals of similar "value" as organic visits?
Keywords / phrases in site metatags - the CMS (SitePro) I am using suggests no more than 20 keywords for a page and the page analysis tool will highlight excesses as an SEO negative if I enter more than 20. Is having more than 20 keywords a problem? I am not talking having hundreds however sometimes about 30-40 is what it can end up at when I insert what I think are relative keywords for the content of a page (particularly when entering phrases - see next).
Additionally - what is the advantage if any of keyword phrases versus singular keywords when entering them into your meta data. Example; "best 3d tv prices" as a phrase versus three individual keywords "3d tv", "best", "prices" ? (3d tv is technically a phrase however as individual 3d or tv being less than 3 characters they do not show in Google Analytics or Webmaster Tools stats). In my CMS the very first keyword or keyword phrase entered becomes the main keyword for the page. In the example above the phrase may only be on the page say 4 times whilst the word(s) 3d tv may appear 15 times given that "3d tv" is the number one keyword for the site and hence is utilized on every page. The topic of the page is best 3d tv prices. Will Google still see "3d tv" in isolation in the phrase and find all entries of 3d tv for keyword density or does the term "3d tv" need to be entered in the keywords list in its own right. Other phrases containing 3d tv could be on the page and hence in the keyword list (e.g. best 3d tv reviews; 3d tv best range and so on and so on).
So should the most common phrase that also contains the main keyword for the site be the first keyword entry or should I use the main keyword for the site followed by the phrase??
thanks in advance for your help.
