Thanks for raising this question because I also experienced the same with a FB ad and Getresponse Landing Page.

Someone who is more knowledgeable is there to assist.

Will look out for an answer.

I would monitor my ad sets and change them according to my most viewed, so you start with a wider search, then study demographics views according to interests, narrow down your search to leverage your ads if that makes sense, till you find a sweet spot onto which you can scale.

With Facebook you can do various ad sets like engagement or conversions etc.

However, Partha and as usual covered it in more depth.

Hey Ivan,

It depends on which "clicks" metric you're looking at on Facebook.

They have "Clicks" which is basically any interaction with your ad. So, this can actually include likes, shares, comments, clicks to your Facebook page, profile photo, etc.

Then there's "Link Clicks", which can also include clicks on comments, to your Facebook profile, etc

The nearest metric to website visitors is "outbound clicks", which is basically when people have actually left Facebook (so to actually visit your site).

However, even then there is a chance that they didn't actually visit your website (there's a stat that claims 50% of Facebookers click the back button if the website page doesn't load within 3 seconds). Also people do accidentally click, especially when scrolling on mobile, and then immediately click back.

There is a way to create a Facebook Ads manager landing page views, but I'm afraid I can't remember exactly how to do it (I'll have a look for you, I know I'll have it in a file somewhere).

I know it involves using the dropdown menus in your ads Manager account.

Choose the "columns" dropdown menu and choose "performance" and then on then "breakdown" dropdown menu choose "placement and device"...

But, then I know there's one more thing you have to do after that, but I can't remember what it is, lol. Sorry mate.

I'll have a look through my files/notes, although it might take a while.

Gee... some weird happenings on FB.
Could be not everyone is clicking thru to Aweber, only the FB portion.

I've also heard some complaints about FB.
I ran a small ad recently, ever since then it seems as though my posts to groups is being sabotage in order to get me to keep running ads.
I've also heard of this happening before, now I understand.

Hope you get to the bottom of it.

Ivan, I am waiting on an answer too!

Hey Ivan,

Yep, you've done the right thing by checking directly in Google.

WA Site Manager has never been completely accurate.

In fact, I know members who "believed" that when they click the greyed out "G" in site content and it then turns into a coloured "G", and they then receive a WA indexing email, that they have literally "forced" their article to be indexed.

Not true, it was already indexed.

Furthermore, even GSC isn't always accurate and can actually provide conflicting information.

Look at the number of people who are experiencing "discovered not yet indexed" issues according to GSC.

They then set about panicking, doing everything they can think of, to get the article indexed.

However, if they did a simple Google check like yourself, more often than not the article IS actually already indexed, even though GSC says it isn't (okay admittedly, not always, but quite often)

Case in point, I published an article on Monday 14th February.

Much the same as your initial website, everything I publish now appears to get indexed immediately, and receive traffic from day one (good keyword research).

Plus, I seem to have been getting a LOT of Google Discover traffic for the last 2 months.

I received a WA indexing email for this article on Monday 21st February.

I checked GSC and it still showed as "discovered, not yet indexed".

However, since Monday 14th February until Monday 21st February the article received around 100+ visitors from Google Search Engine and around another 400+ visitors from Google Discover (which I can actually see within the GSC tab).

So, according to GSC the article is not indexed, plus according to WA Site Manager it was only indexed on Monday 21st February.

However, in the meantime while GSC and WA Site Manager are unsure about the article's index status, the article has received over 500 visitors FROM GOOGLE in that time.

Make sense?

Basically, the only 100% accurate check for indexing is to check for yourself (site:yourwebsitename(dot)com) in Google.

Hi Ivan,

I have the same glitch - Posts available and shown as indexed on Google yet little google symbol not changing too indexed - I assume you use Site:webpage as suggested below to review pages found on Google?

If they can be found with the proper outreach, comments, social media and links your page will be available for searching ( indexing)

It might also be an idea to review Google console for any potential problems but please note you can index a post with one page on your site ( this is from personnel experience with my current website). Problems may be that the post is marked as No Follow? Have you checked this?

remember comments and links from other sources eg socials speed up the indexing process .

Yes, I also use site:yourwebsite.com to check if indexed in Google,Yahoo,and Bing.

It does seem Google taking its time. Keep writing, request indexing if need too.

Sometimes shows in excluded under Coverage in GSC discovered not indexed. If this is the case test your url then request indexing. Upon doing this, I had 5 posts indexed overnight.

WA is y’all’s a day or few after alerting me.

Ivan,

I have stopped checking WA SiteContent for updates.
I go straight to Google.

At the moment, WA SC is showing that I have 6 posts from 4-5 months ago not yet indexed.
However, Google tells me they are all indexed.

There seems to be a lag on WA's end.

Cassi

it's the same for me, my homepage and 6 posts have been indexed in Google but WA site manager says 0 indexed in google. My site is about 6 weeks old.

Just type site:nameofyoursite.com into google and you will see what exactly from your site has been indexed In google

Could be an error or an outside factor.

I run it again and see what result I get.

Hey Ivan,

Depending on your content that too can work at slowing your site's loading time down.

Examples: one site has more embedded iframes than the other, images are larger or more of them on one site... etc.

PageSpeed test will give you details as to what is making your site slow. Have you clicked on the down arrows to see what is stated in your testing your site's speeds?

Hope you find this helpful

did you look into the rapport sometimes there is a solution in that like where the website is slowing down

Not sure what is happening, may not be related but the teamsters of files on a small test site I use in SiteRubix is slow as molasses.

As site support, Ivan.

Hey Ivan,

Without removing those comments, reach out to Carson and explain what has been happening, and I'm sure he can stop this abuse of the system.
https://my.wealthyaffiliate.com/message/carson

Be sure to select "Report Content" so that you are provided with a blank textbox that will be labeled with "Contact Kyle or Carson" and this way, your message will arrive in Carson's inbox and NOT back out on the platform.

Hope you find this helpful.

I am sorry it happens to you Ivan. Actually, it has happened to me about two times and mine is a huge text with links to pornography sites. I deleted the comments each time and forge ahead.
I guaze it would have been better I reported it to Kyle according to AbieAJ. Thanks for sharing Ivan.

Hi! Ivan, It is annoying to receive comments that are not relevant. This kind of comments is a rubbish to our website so I choose to delete it. I will spend my credit to request for another comment. Just share my own experience.

I've had the same problem Ivan.
I've never been able to track them either.

Hi - have you got your notification settings on to let you know when you receive a website comment?

FYI, that's perfectly normal. There are peaks and valleys in traffic, peaks and valleys in conversions.

This time of year, families are focused on back-to-school and all the accompanying activities and demands. The holidays will also keep people busy, but get ready for all that happens once New Year's resolutions kick in.

I work for the Awin and ShareASale affiliate networks. We watch tens of thousands of merchant programs and hundreds of thousands of affiliates. We track hundreds of millions of transactions a year. Will you trust me to confirm that there are indeed busy times of high conversions and other times when things get quieter?

I also forgot to mention in USA and Canada and other countries are experiencing a tough medical crisis in the COVID-19 Delta variants, many young people are dying from it due to low vaccination rates. Hospitals are overwhelmed and full to capacity to care for COVID-19 Delta variant patients. My state of Oregon is overwhelmed. So take that into consideration. We are in a very bad Delta pandemic. I would not be too surprised if sign ups are less, they are dying. Only five percent are breakthrough cases, less than one percent of vaccination died. So keep that in mind.

Hi Ivan, sounds like it was the same issue you reported I think a month ago. There seems to be no rhyme or reason for the lack of getting sign-ups. It is easy to speculate on the reasons why or blame a system, namely a technical problem on the WA side. Carson is the right person you should be consulting with, he takes care of the technical side of this platform.

I did see you made some changes to your website. That's not the reason, you are getting traffic no problem but people aren't signing up. First, it might not be a traffic issue like you said. Second, it may be the WA system to check with Carson if there is any backlog of sign-ups. If it's not that then my third analogy will be that people (human psychology) are deciding not to sign up immediately for various reasons. Maybe they need more research or still checking it out. Have you updated your YouTube? I see it's been a while since you updated the video. There are many other social media you can do other than organic traffic.

The only thing I noticed is you do not have an email list- why is that? Jay uses email and email marketing works for people who are psychologically hesitant in signing up. Having continuous email contact is helpful. Some people may be thinking about it but the call to action must be convincing. I'm looking at the human psychology as a possible reason for the lack of sign ups

Three things I encourage you to try, update your YouTube, engage with your prospects through email marketing, get more social media attention and last maybe focus on modifying your call to action like set up a timer when the free sign up ends. There are many call to actions you can use I don't see that on your site, maybe I missed that, all I saw was the sign up capture page of WA.

I am not promoting WA but principles should be the same. You write "from time to time (at least once per week)". When exactly, which day? It is normal to have far less of everything on Friday night and also on Saturday in the time zone(s) from where most visitors come, this is probably not Croatia. You should be able to see these weekly oscillations.

"Everything functions perfectly except no one signs up for a free membership for half of the day!" I would expect this half of the day to be Friday night in the area where most of the traffic comes from.

I think I have the same problem but I really don't know what's happening. I thought just like you, that something is up to the WA system but probably not. I'm out of idea what could provoke that.. With me, it can pass all day until I get a referral although earlier I was getting up to 10 referrals per day...
