What We Will Learn
Join us in September when Simon Heseltine (https://www.linkedin.com/in/simonheseltine/) and Twitter ( https://twitter.com/SimonHeseltine) shows us How Technical SEO Goes Bad. If you are wondering where your organic traffic went, you need to attend this event. It’s a question that, unfortunately, many SEOs have exclaimed at some point in their career, when examining their analytics.
This presentation will talk about how brands have messed up their own technical SEO, causing their sites major traffic loss in the search results. Sometimes it’s an intentional attempt to increase traffic by doing things the wrong way, other times it’s just folks either only knowing half of the story or only knowing enough to be dangerous, other times it’s just a frustrating mistake.
With each real world example of the various types of common and one-off technical SEO issues, we’ll delve into the best ways to identify and fix those issue if/when they happen to your site.
